What Effect o.
Local Credit
Now consider for . moment what
effect would this have on your credit
with your banker on other than Sc
cured loans, Would your banker
hesitate to finance you II you
turned your finished product over
to an organization for sale or would
your banker suggest to you or even
insist that you better Hnd a home
cash buyer.
Seventh: Let US note the string
ent ruling of this law on 4 member
who might be charged with q breach
OF contract.
Eighth: 1t has been q common
practice in this community for years
that some local dealer has sold, or
granted credit on certain seeds and
in other ways extended financial
assistance. with the tentative under
standing that this certain dealer
shall handle this creditors crop.
Now will II be fair to expect the
continuing OF this accom- modat ton
with the chance taken that this
grower might Join one OF these
marketing associations and thereby
assign away this crop: It could
hardly be expected to continue fur
ther such transactions.
Ninth: Different interpretations
are being placed upon the entangIe-
ments that might arise by the land
owner who is renting his land be-
coming a member. does II not only
bind him. but doesn't II tie this
renter from year to year regardless

Tenth: Finally IL II not Q case of
being bound lawfully to something
that after some experiments We may
wish to be relieved Of!
Does 1t not attempt simply to
build up another selling agency.
Is II not true that Invariably the
policy of these sales agencies has
been to ship unsold goods and to do
what Is called transit billing or
make tramp shipments. which from
past experiences have proven dis
astrous.
Has not this method been largely
used the past years by brokerage or.
ganizations who have solicited and
received consisnments from growers
In different potato producing sec
tioRs. particularly in Idaho this past
fall. and these shipments have
caused untold havoc on the large
consuming markets! II is motor
