SAY GAS CUT ISTOOGREAT Scuth . Dakota Independents Would Welcome Some Cut Sioux Falls, §. D., Aug. 10.—Inde- pendent oil dealers of South Dakota will welcome a cut of two or three cents in the price of gasoline, ac- cording to Fred H.

D., Aug. 10.—Citrus fruit, growers of Florida are making a rgmarkable success of cooperative marketing, and growers are well sat- isfied with the results secured, ac- cording to Max Waldron, former stu- deht of the ‘North Dakota Agricultural college, who is now manager of a 1600-acre citrus plantation at Babson Perk, Florida, in the Crooked Lake district. Mr. Waldron been spend- ing the past week visiting with his parents, Dean and Mrs. C. B. Waldron of the Agricultural college. “Our cooperative marketing organi- zation is known as the Florida Citrus exchange, and at present is handling nearly half of all the grapefruit and oranges produced in Fiorida,” Mr. Waldron declares. “In addition to the marketing work, we also have coop- erative packing houses for prepar- ation of the fruit, a cooperative mill for manufacturing crates, an organi- zation through which we can purchase all necessary supplies at cost, a fer- tilizer manufacturing plant. and a finance corporation that will ad- vance money to growers after thejr fruit has ripened, but while it is still on the trees, so that they can hold off selling for several months if nec- essary in order to prevent a glut of the market. “AN of the citrus fruit there is produced in an arca of less than 200 miles in diameter.

Stream, president of the Chi- cago Board df trade. Farmers in distress are not those with storage facilities, nor are they financially able to construct such containers, Mr. Stream said. If stor- age space w ailable and if farm- crs were a unit in following the plan, it would still be far from solution, he added. “Keeping wheat off the market ne- (Day or Night.) ver has and never will change the supply and “demand status,” he dé- clared. “It would “simply add to the confusion that has resulted from agi- tation and ridiculous public pro- nouncements by ill-advised politi- cians. We must get rid of the sur- plus. If held until next year, it would have to compete with the new crop.” Mr, Stream declared political agi- tators have destroyed the farmers’ eredit with flaring tales of his insolvency and predicted the crest of the radical wave has passed.
