POTATO GROWERS TO
ORGANIZE FOR 1924
Additional Time Needed to
Arrange Warehouses,
Leaders Decide.

Active steps to organize pota-
to growers for the cooperative
marketing of the 1924 crop were
taken in st. Paul last week. Ear
ly hopes for forming sales agen-
cy this summer have been found
impossible Of fulfillment,' due to
inability to provide needed ware
houses.
Decision not to attempt actual
marketing this summer was due
to the realization of leaders that
necessary storage and finances
could not be arranged by July
15th-the date on which the first
of the potato crop begins to
move. Moreover, there is every
assurance that if Minnesota de-
lays selling operations until 1924,
growers in North and South Da-
kota and Wisconsin will be in po-
sition to correlate marketing ac-

has melted away in the act of
establishing himself. He may or
he may not get a steady job at

tain and that is, if the move
ment from the farm continues
much longer, men in the cities
will be plentiful and wages in
spite Of unions and organizations
will go down. In a few years
the movement must be reversed,
and the former farmer will be
one of the first to seek to the
