WASHINGTON FARMING LEADERS 10 PERFECT PLANS Organization = of Giganti Grain Marketing Group Is Started. - C Er the Associated P CHICAGO, August 28—Farm lead- ers representing the Federal Farm Board and the Northwest farmers’ co-opera- tives hoped today tn perfect organiza~ tion plans for the gigantic:grain mar- ketinz corporation agresd upon at yes- terday's closed conference. A subcommittee of three sat up most of last night drafting plans to be mitted today. The committe_cons of C. E. Hough of Salina. Kans., tional president of the F.:mers' Union, chairman: S. J. Collington of Stanhope, Towa, of the National Farmers' Elevator Grain Co. a co-operative, and Manly of Enid. Okla., head of the South- west wheat p~l. Ominous clouds of disagreement which overhung the conference Morday be- tween the committee of 16, representing the co-oporatives, and the four repre- sentatives of the Federal Farm Board. rolled away at yesterday's meeting, and when the doors to the conference room were thrown open late in the afternoon announcement was made that an agree- | ment had ben_reached. ¢ For a time it had appeared the im- passe might not be surmounted.

Tt was agread that the proposed cor- poration should be a farmer-owned central marketing and financing or- ganization to sell grain gathered from farmers by individual which should share in the commissions. Application will be made to organize as a co-operative, but if that is impossi- hle a corporation will be formed. The subcommittee drafting plans was expected to provide membership require- ments liberal enough to include as many kinds of co-operatives as ssible and at the same time meet wit o ap- Your Cheapest Necessity— Fire Insurance 14 Your fire ineurance dollar paye for indem« nity—for immunity when calamity overtakes you. But that dollar buys g0 much more than the indemnity it pays for that it ranks as one of the most effective dollars you power'is away ahove Fire insurance, from the indemnity stand. point alone. is one of the cheapest of prenc;lt- day necessities. Tts cost has consistently de- clined—even during the period of war in- flation—practically every year for the last twenty.
