Policy Of Cooperating With the,
Storage Commissioner Will
Down Obstacles
SEAT IS SOLD FOR $33,5O0
Organization Making Loans Of
Money Obtained From the
Federal Credit Bank
SEAT IS SOLD FOR s33,500

A disposition to complain that the
service of the state farm grain stor-
age staff has been SO tardy as. In
some instances, to amount to ignor-
Ing calls upon it. cropped out In the
morning session Of the Farmers
Union, today.
The session was devoted to general
discussion. members firing questions
at their officers. NJ w. Thatcher,
head of the Farmers Union Terminal
company. the marketing organization
of the union. served as backStop to
the bombardment from the floor and
answered the questions.
One delegate said he had written
Commissioner Knudtson last Septem-
ber and still was awaiting q reply.
He asserted that deputy inspectors
were not getting their expenses paid
and were compelled to advance ex-
press charges on equipment sent to
them. Other delegates made like
charges. more apparently in the
spirit Of seeking information than in
actual criticism.
Manager Thatcher said the attitude
Of the union was that the state law
for storage Of grain on farms was
new and the officers who administer
1t are new to the job, SO that the
wheels might not be expected to be
efficient at first. The policy Of the
union is to try and help the staff
men and Commissioner Knudtson. he
said BY getting the law. some head
way had been gained Now the aim
Of the union is to help make 1t sue
cess.
Can't Sell Out Terminal Co.
George Willis. Of Rhud. wanted
some evidence-as the by-lawS Of the
uni0n-to show critics Of the union
in his neighborhood, that the direc-
tors could not sell out the Farmers
Union Terminal company at st. Paul
and pocket the proceeds. Apparent
ly the implication that the stockhold-
ers might not be protected grew out
of the sale Of the unions seat on the
Chicago Board Of Trade.
Thatcher explained that the seat
had been bought for $500 and sold
for $50, 500. thus making profit Of
$4,000 for the organization. which
money Is on deposit to the credit d
the union in bank. That was = Sale
Of personal property. It was on ths
same basis. in consequence, Is ths
sale Of q carload Of wheat.
Would anyone hold" he asked
that every time q carload Of wheat
is to be sold. the directors must b
called together to give assent?'

Getting grain marketing on direct

union at the state session here Tnurs.
day evening.
Along with this new marketing pro.
cedure he also pictured prospective
terminal markets at Fargo and Minot.
which he considered strategic points
for such. The terminals he visioned
implied adequate facilities In all forms
within the state for marketing wheat
in orderly process hereafter, avoiding
the present dumping which deimoral-
izes the market and forces the farmer
to accept low or unprofitable prices.
Patterned, as It Is. from the buyers
standpoint. Thatcher said, the pres
ent marketing system is wrong In that
It allows the grain itself to pass out
of the farmers control. Pointing out
that an elevator In North Dakota OF
10000 bushels capacity handled many
times that total in bushels during 9
season. he said It could and did issue
storage tickets for 100000 bushels OF
more. Obviously, he said. this grain
was not in the elevator but was
shipped to where It came into control
az buyers and prices were hammered
into levels dictated by influences
other than the law Of supply ane
demand.
Real Deals Predicted
The holding Of grain within the
state will force wheat buyers to come
to the producer, and the farmers
storage tickets will represent rea
grain rather than the guaranty OF
bonding company's agreement that ~
