E. Bradfute, president of the American Farm Bureau federation, explaining the marketing company’s status. “But we haven’t sent for the undertaker yet—were not as near death as our enemies hope.” “We are facing a deadline, but wn are sure we can hurdle it,” commented Gray Silver, president of the company. Directors of the organization met , and discussed away out. Three methods were proposed, it was made known, but the directors said an announcement of specific plans now might hinder the necessary sale of stock. .. It was understood, however, that special efforts for sale of stock to farmers are under way, a method of financing which had not proved so successful during the year’s history of the company as was at first expected. The rumors which the officials particularly scored were to the effect that the company could not be able to continue in the “farmer’s cooperative way” and would reorganize on "old line” methods. o THREE PRISONERS ESCAPE Rewards Posted For Capture Os Men Who Are Missing From Reformatory.
