Farmers Talk of Building Elevator.

For the past two' weeks a number of farmers have been talking of organizing and building an elevator on the co-operative plan. The proposition seems to be taking tangible form and it is probable that a meeting of farmers will be called early in December at which time they will have a representative here from some farmers’ elevator company to explain the method of operation. The reason for taking this step, the farmers allege, is that where the co-operative plan is employed a better price is assured the farmer for his grain.
