Ernprtq at the North Dakot I Agricultural College estimate thi | the fans helped the old line grai elevator companies to steal $50 000,000 a year from the growers i that state alone. The fans were suj posed to blow the dirt out of th grain when the farmers brought it t the local elevators. But the fact ths many elevators shipped thousands o bushels more grain than they pai the farmers for shows that the fai did their work and then a little ei tra." The call issued by the Nations Council of Farmers' Cooperative Companies states that "condition among the farmers of America hav< reached a state of development wher< all grain growers should become ac tively interested in marketing theii own grain cooperatively. The ad vantages which have come to the far mers of the Middle West through co operative grain marketing sholud be shared by all grain growers." Over 2,000,000 American farmers will be represented by delegations al the coming conference, according tc reports received by the officers. Livestock producers and feeders will attempt to get the moral support oi the conference in their fight to get a Federal Trade Commission probe ol the livestock situation from start to finish. Whole milk producers will tiave a national gathering to discuss re-organizing their methods of marketing. All sorts of ideas prevail as to ;he amount of cotton likely to be delivered on December and on January contracts. Some believe it can se done only at a loss; others believe the South has been selling for several months with the expressed Intention of making tenders. A well known cotton man said ;he other day, America would soon rake up to the fact that she is overjxporting herself as to cotton and ;hat a general howl will soon come from the American spinner and consumer for an embargo on further shipments.
