Show FARMERS PLAN GIGANTIC POOL TO CON- TROL WHEAT MARKETING . Columbus, Ohio. Formation of a gigantic wheat pool in the United States, whereby the farm- ers will virtually control market- ing and selling the grain, is one of the more important subjects ' to be planned here by farmers who are attending a three-day session of the National Board of Farm Organizations. The Board of Farm Organiza- tions now controls 1,500 grain elevators in the country and does a yearly co-operative farm busi- ness of 2,000;'000,000, according to officials. Plans are to take over or build grain elevators at every point " where wheat Is shipped. It will be poslble, it was said, to con- ' trol 40 per cent of the country's wheat output. "Profits will be stabilized and prices to the consumer greatly reduced," said Charles S. Bar- rett. Union City, Ga., president of the organization. |
