Market Bill ‘ Gdoperating marketing was dis- cussed at length today before a con- tinued joint meeting of senate and house committees on warehouse and grain grading, considering House Bill No, 151, the wheat growers’ coopera- marketing measure. ne of the chief points at issue is Me provision in the bill providing hat when a farmer has signed to pool his wheat through the North Dakota Wheat Growers association or similar organization, elevators are prohibited from buying from fhe farmer. This has been opposed on the ground that it. would prevent store- keepers from buying cream and make business men generally do business. with pool members at their peril. C. J. Murphy of Grand Forks, .rep- resenting the Wheat Growers. Asso- ation, this morning argued for the- bill. He declared it was purely # farmers’ measure. ‘ ‘Thin) ie a) measure do prayendijouts side interference and . obstruction with cooperative marketing,” .said Mr. Murphy. “You should not be squeamish as to whether you hurt some individual bank or elevator a little bit. In the end. this will bene- fit the banks, business men and everybody. This is an attempt to fundamentally change the market> ing system of the state.” The question was raised by some elevtor men as to whether or not a farmer would bé able to mortgage his erop.. If he knowingly mortgaged his crop, which was pooled, thé bank to which he mortgaged the © crop d have only a mortgage on his eay‘ty in the wheat growers’ pool proceeds, elevator men said. Mr. Murphy held this waj not a fatal ob- jection, and would not be material. —_—_-—__—_——_-_* | Weather Report 4, For 24 hours ending at noon: . with General ighest wind velocity WEATHER FOREC.
