REFUND PROMISED TO
COLORADO POTATO GROWERS

A certified audit of the accounts
and records of the Colorado Potato
Growers Exchange, Denver, Colo,
from July 1, 1928, to February 20,
1924, shows that the total cost of
operating the 81 local associations
which made up the membership of
the exchange was $53,538 for the
period, and the cost of operating
the exchange was $42,269, making
the total expense $95,807. The ex-
change expense includes an item of
$7,125 which was the portion of the
cost of organization not covered by
membership fees. The exchange ex-
pense also included expenditures for
furniture, fixtures, insurance on
bonds, legal expenses, field depart
ment, management salaries, office
salaries, postage, stationery, print
ing, office rent, telephone, telegraph
and expenditures connected with
meetings of trustees and the execu-
tive committee. 1t is estimated that |
the cost of the exchange amounted |
to 1903 cents per cwt. for the as
sociation at Eagle, to SAT cents at |
Romeo.
A total of $1,076,906 has been ad-
to shippers up to February
20. There will be additional pay
ments as the potatoes in storage on
that date are marketed. There was
at the time of the audit $74,389 to
be prorated back to the shippers,
his being the savings over expenses
,ut of the Is cents per cwt. deducted
o cover the expenses of marketing.
There was also a credit balance of
'38,845 in the reserve for contin-
,encies, which fund was built up by ,
deduction of 2 per cent of gross
eceipts.
Arrangements have been made !
Nth a Denver bank for a line
( credit of from $125,0O0 to $780,
100 for financing the 1924 crop.
n addition to this the exchange has
he cash reserve of $38,845 which
lay be used as the basis of credit
Or the purchase of sacks or other
upplies. Approaching the needs Of
he growers for cash payments, it
) planned to pay from so to rs
err cent of the estimated value of
ne potatoes the day they are load
d on the cars. The exact percentage
