HOLDING WHEAT
APPROVED

The Federal Farm Board is in
sympathy with the movement
among farmers. to withhold their
wheat from the market. rather than
let 1t go on market that is already
glutted and in which prices are very
low, according to telegram from
the Board to S. M. Williams, editor
of a newspaper in st. Paul, MINI.
The board has not yet been able
to set up machinery to supplement
loans on wheat and other grains
that have been made and are being
made by intermediate credit banks
TO growers organizations Of North
western states which want to hold
back their grains from the present
market, the telegram said. There is
a substantial amount of storage
space available in bonded ware
houses through the Northwest ter

DENMAN Tells
FARM NEED

DEs MONIES, Iowa, Aug. 2s
Q.N.S).-Co-operative marketing, ma
tional in scope is the solution to
the farmers problems, C. B. Den.
man. member of the Federal Farm
Board, told the Iowa farm Bureau
Federation at the State Fair here
today.
Denman described the function Of
the farm board under the act ere
ating 1t was to center its activities
in and around and with the CO.
operation of farmers themselves to
solve their own problems.
Citing the marketing of grain as
one example for the necessity for
national co-operatives, and the part
the farm board must take in helping
to bring this about. Denman said.
Moved Fast As Possible
IT think the direction In which we
will move has been exempEfied in
the start we have made in the grain
marketing problem. 1t seemed most
unfortunate that we came into
service just at the beginning of the
movement Of the 1929 crop. We
moved as rapidly as we could. We
found that more than 40 per cent
of the grain of this country was
cooperative marketing groups in
their local communities, but that
effective control was lost when the
commodity left the local pool or
elevator for the central markets.
I'VE called these different groups
together to see if q way could not
be found to amalgamate into a ma
tional organization this tremendous
power already within these CO.
operative associations. Today at
Chicago these groups. by their
elected members of a committee Of
16, are trying earnestly to organize
great central selling organization
to control the marketing OF their
grain. II so, then it would seem
to be clearly within the purpose Of
the new law that our board help
this organization to accomplish
this worthy objective"
Takes Up COMMODITIES
Denman. one by one, took up the
principal commodities and their
problems, and declared overproduc-
ton was one of the chief diff
cuIties.
''It has been said often, and 1
think can be supported by facts, -
he said, that the American farmer
is the most efficient farmer in the
world I believe, however, that we
are at times inclined to mistake
abundant production for efficient
production" -I
Denman expressed the belief that
prices can be stabilized, the farmers
given more money, and yet not
raise the price to the average con-
sumner Of the farm products.
