Managers and officers of farmers’ organizations from 12 central west and middie west states arc attending the sessions this week. A short ourse in problems of a practical ure opened this morning. “There has been a tendency,’ H. Bruce Price, economics, University of ‘ota, “for some leaders of the fi levator movement to accept farmer elevator as near perfect. Not Wholly Efficient “This is an expected reaction to the success which the movement hi achieved against strong opposi of a well organized private market- ing system. This optimism is) net wholly unwarranted. The large number of farmers’ elevators and the extraordinary volume gf business indicates that grain producers have slearned how to organize to imeet competition. in the local market. On the other hand, a close analysis of the business shows that farmers’ elevators frequently do not perform the local grain marketing function as jently-as it should be-dene.” R. M. Green, Kansay state agricul- tural college, Manhattan, insas, covered the same subject as Di Price, but only as it related to the elevators in his state. He outlincd the various problems that confront the managers of Kansas farmers’ elevators. “* KF. 8.
