12 TiIE EVE FARMERS' CO-0PS 70 BE RELIEF BASE Board Hopes to Avoid Open Market Operations Through Large Associations. By the Assoclated Press. ‘The evolvement of perhaps a half dozen gigantic farmer-owned co-opera- tive organizations to conduct orderly mass marketing of the principal agri- ultural commodities is under considera- tion by the now completed Federal Farm Board as the foundation for its attempt to bring prosperity to the farming industry. . Once the program is brought to ful- fillment, farm leaders expect it to make the United States the arcna for the greatest experiment in co-operative marketing the world ever has known. As now contemplated, it will be based on demonstrated needs in each branch of agriculture affected and on con- sideration of special crop conditions. Under the guidance of President Hoover and the members of the farm board, all avowed advocates of the co- operative movement, stabilization opera- tions by the Government on the open market will be avoided, if possible. Large marketing associations, they be- lieve, will be able to produce results as beneficial as the Government could ob- tain by employing the stabilization pro- visions of the farm relief act. Much Time to Be Required. The co-operative program, involving an enormous amount of work, is recog- nized as requiring considerable time, but its development is believed to have been greatly facilitated by the com- pletion of the board's membership with the appointment of Sam R. McKelvie, former Governor of Nebraska, as the spokesman for the wheat and coarse grain industry. Because of differences between the co-operative and pool groups in the grain industry, President Hoover had much difficulty in filling the place, and McKelvie accepted only on condition that he would be free to retire at the end of a year. Information made available by mem- bers of the board indicates that the formation of the $20,000,000 Farmers' National Grain Corporation in Chicago last week to market wheat and ther course grains which preceded McKelvie's appointment, was the first step in the plan to set up such organizations for each of the principle commodities in need of attention. The first formal forecast of this program was given by Chairman Legge, in his speech in Baton Rouge, La., before the American Insti- tute of Co-operation, when he said: “The board believes that it can be of great assistance to the American farmer by encouraging the development of iarge-scaled, central co-operative organ- izations. Such an agency would be in itself, because of its prestige and in- fluence, a stabilizing element in market- ing. It would be able to exert a meas- urable decree of control over the flow of its products to market. It would avoid temporary surpluses which so often result in unduly depressing the price of farm products much below their real value. In other words it would be a strong merchandising agency, virtually in control of the conditions under which the products of its members are sold.” Will Use Present Groups as Base. He made it clear that, in setting out to strengthen the co-operative market- ing machinery, the board expects to build on the foundation of the present private co-operatives, of ‘which 12,500 are already in existence with member- ships_totaling 2,000,000, or practically one-third of the American farmers. Most of these are struggling organiza- tions with many of them considered to have memberships only lukewarm to the benefits of co-operation, and one of the board’s first efforts will be to strengthen them. Another field of farm aid endeavor to which is attaching great importance to the study of land utilization problems, regarded by many as the hub of agri- culture’s difficulties. Some members &lso have indicated that they favor the creation of a national educative organi- zation, such as was proposed before the American Institute of Co-opcration, to be known perhaps as the National Chamber of Agricultural Co-operatives, which would be analagous to the United States Chamber of Commerce or the American Federation of Labor.

(Special).—The remaining relics of Eleazar Willlams, the “lost Dauphin of France,” have been offered for sale by his granddaughter, Mrs. Mary Schultz. Eleazar Willilams, a backwoods mis- sionary, firmly believed that he was the lost Louis XVII of France, but never made any pretensions to the throne. Historic evidence was not lacking to in- dicate foundation for his belief, and the preacher, who always was known as a masterful man, told of a secret offer by De Joinville, son of King Louis Philippe of France, of a large amount of money if he would renounce all claim to the crown.
