ar tr a ee ere eaaeen Ry RODNEY DUTCHER (NEA Service Writer) Washington, 7.—Cooperative effort, such as this administration proposes to encourage remedy for agricultural ailments, seems to be more or less responsible for the fact that the farmers of Can- ada have been able to worry along without depending on parliament for extensive help. Consideration of the success of the western at pool may the possibilities this country, now board is to be set A partial to accomplish wh American farn ers have been unable selves. Canada expo 400,000,000 bushels of wheat in year, far more than it farmers whiie influencing the w market, though. th t believe they arc getting a price.

The prov- inces were divided into districts and districts into subdistricts. ‘Thus, Mc- Phail said, Saskatchewan has 16 dis- tricts, each with its director, and 160 subdistricts, each of which elects a delegate once a year. The delegates |are the governing body; they elect the central selling board, composed of three members from cach provincial pool. Between 120,000 and 140,000 wheat growers now deliver their wheat to the pools and the central agency sells year it expects to handle more than ,000,000 bushels, from 52 to 54 per cent of all wheat produced in western Canada. The pools own ncar- ly 1500 country grain elevators. The pool tries to judge the market pm day to day and sells when it the most favorable price. If the market is weak the pool stays out. Great secrecy is maintained regard- When the farmer delivers his wheat he is advanced 85 cents a bushel, with two subsequent interim payments and a final payment in the fall when the | balance of the crop is sold. Actual overhead administrative costs, Me- Phail told the senators, amounts only to about one-sixteenth of a cent a bushel. Two cents a bushel each year is |taken from the proceeds of sale for the purpose of acquiring the pool's own grain handling facilities and 1 per cent of the gross sale for a com- | mercial reserve. r wheat control} board of 1919 wa » beneficial to} Seeks More Members McPhail estimates that control of mewhere between 65 and 75 per nt of total acreage will be neces- ary to obtain maximum success in ed control over their | operation and ® continuous educa- lid, beginning in| tional campaign is going on for more | tchewan, presi- | members. There has never been any campaign for reduction of acreage. The Canadian wheat farmers are far better off than in 1923, McPhail ys. Many of them have not joined cause they get the benefit of bet- ter price levels whether they join or not. When it comes to marketing their crop, it’s a question of whether their judgment can match that of the best brains of the pool. . the day before Thanks- e@day of hectic excite- ment and bustle, for Cherry had sud- denly decided on Monday to i the entire family to cat Thank: ing dinner with her. Bubbling over with one of her rare but irresistible at- tacks of generosity, she had tele- Phoned her invitations and battered down all opposition. “It's a shame you won't be here to help eat all the gorgeous things you're helping to cook, she 8 sympathized at luncheon on Wednes- {| day. “Do you really have to go to the Rosses’ tomorrow? There'd be plen- ty of room at table for you and your father.” “Sorry, but’ I promised Mrs. Tony answered. “Are there fourteen of you?
