MILLIONS OF FARMERS TO MARKET GRAIN THROUGH tIATIOjIAL AGENCY TO CUT WASTE
CHICAGO, Feb. 18. Millions of American farmers wlll;xnarket their grain through & national sales agency, according to skeleton, plans announced last ntehtlbythearmerK' grainmarketlnr cotnmltteQ of seventeen now In session at KansaaiCity. The -public la being considered loth building of th& new distributing machine, which Is designed to cut the price of bread, remove waste between' the farmer and consumer, and eliminate speculation. The national sales agency will comprise hundreds of thousands of grain growers, who will-agree' to, market their grain exclusively - through the new system. Growers. of all organizations will be eligible to membership. The central idea is tha-lhei"tfarmer shall control and Uanage the machinery of distribution j i ; " "Co-op" Elevator Ready.' -y. ' Elevator facilities now. in existence will be used; nothing will be junked or discarded. An attempt will be made to convert all Into co-operative . institutions and wherever it is necessary new ones will be built. Many co-operative elevators owned by farmers are ready for use, - - r; - - Growers who join the sales agency will go into contract with the local cooperative elevator association to sell grain according to the new plan. The farmer will have the option of selling his grain through a pooling system or on consignment. Where the grain is pooled it will be transported to a national warehouse and later disposed of. and. each man will, get his share according to the quantity and grade of his grain. This is the" California co-operative plan, now being successfully operated by the prune and orange growers. .sWhere the grain is sold on consignment, tha farmer will be paid cash at the local elevator, the amount being based on the market price. ' .., Seek Exchange Seats' The national sales agency will dispose of the erain with, its own facilities. To do this, the co-operative farmt er believes it will be necessary for him to hold a seat on the various grain exchanges, whether he wishes to use it or not. As now constituted, however, he is not eligible "to a seat. Bills are before the legislatures of Missouri and MInnsota and will soon be introduced in Illinois and other states to permit farmer's co-operative marketing organizations to hold seats v the boards of trade. i At present the laws forbid any commission firms which give "rebates" from holding seats on grain exchanges. It is the pradtice of co-operative companies to refund all surplus profits, over the cost of operation, to customers on the basis of the amount of business done. Technically, this is called a rebate. Besides this legal restriction there is great hostility to co-oprative firms on the part of the old line firms. The cause for this was very frankly stated by President Gates, of the Chicago board of trade, when, questioned why the board of trade would not admit ajuo-opera-tive commission f4rm, he replied, "'Because it would soon have aU the business." :-;ZSolveDIfficultJesr " "" Indiana farmers have not had the same opposition in selling their grain through their own agency at Indianapolis, and have solved their difficulties by purchasing a commission firm which works for them. On accaunt of the law, it can not be co-operative, but it is able to secure much better prices and already has a large percentage of the business, being the
selling agent for co-operative elevators of Indiana. This firm has found hostility among the other firms, but with the volume of grain handled, found itself able to ignore that attitude.
The new plan provides for farmer! control of the warehouses at the great I terminal markets. The grain wUK.lbe. graded in government licensed ware-k houses. By issuing warehouse., receipts, which will be the basis of credit money can be borrowed on the grain. ;
instead 01 the grain growers products being dumped onto the market within a short period, it will be possible to distribute it over a longer period. Plan Finance Corporation. A finance corporation will be set up in order that farmers may provide their own adequate credit for the financing of their crop through local elevators. In addition an export cor
poration will be established to promote foreign trade and haye charge of sales abroad. A service department also will be maintained to provide statistical : information concerning crops and market conditions, legal advice, transportation and insurance. . It Js proposed to incorporate the national sales agency in the form of a nonprofit, nonstock grata growers' cooperative membership organization. Branch sales offices will.be provided at nil important grain marketing centers to handle the grain, for each natural grain district. The membership subscription of tbe growers will provide the agency with its initial working capital. Later it will be run by assessing a handling charge on all grain marketed. . Farmers to Vote, on Project. With the framework of the plan built, the committee of seventeen is now hard at. work with the details. When the plan is finished it will be submitted to a convention of farmers' organisations.' The committee was appointed about six months ago by J. ItHoward, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, Chicago. GREEN BUGS FLY TO KANSAS WHEAT CROP -KANSAS CITY, Mo, Feb. 18.
