It does mot make a great deal of difference where the grain is gtored. A Dbuyer in Buffalo, for instance, could send to Fargo for samples of a lot of No. 1 Northern, North Dakota state grade, and’ when he got the samples he could offer a price and close the deal just as well as if the grain were in Min- neapolis. “I see certain advantages in a big storage warehouse or warehouses within - this state. In the first place the ¢lean- _ ing would be done here and the screen- ings would be marketed here. With the frexght at least one way on these screenings saved we would have cheaper -feed for live stock, which would be a considerable encouragement - for the stock feeding industry and for the packing industry as .well. OTHER INDUSTRIES WOULD -BE ATTRACTED “Then it seems to me that the very fact of having a big wheat mariccy and storage warehouse here would inevitably attract .other and allied industries. It ought . to be a big incentive toward developing milling within the state. North Dakota to my mind has a great future 'as a manufacturing state, not in . industries related to" grain' growing alone, but in other lines that I can mention. I "am positive ‘that in time there will be a’ readjustment in the course of railroad traffic that will mean a tremendous advance for this state.. “I'do not think it will always be said - that we have no millionaires or rich men in North Dakota. In my opxmon many _ fortunes have been built up in Minne- apolis .and St. Paul that should have gone- to - North Dakota- men: - One of the ways these fortunes are bmlt up is; by gambling in grain. “We 'shall never have solved ' the - wheat marketing problem until we have dealt ~with the grain- gambler. By creatmg artificial fluctuations in the; *price of gfam thesp parasites live on ~ price may be. the farmers and the consumers. I can not see that -they perform any useful service. I think a way can be found to end their occupation. FEDERAL LAW NEEDED TO CHECK GRAIN GAMBLING “The proper remedy according to my conviction is a federal law. If it" were required that every time a man sells a bushel of grain he does not possess he should pay a certain sum into the federal revenues for that privilege I believe the speculation in' margins would quickly ‘come to an end ‘and when it did the farmers would begin to get higher prices for their grain and the consumers . to get their flour cheaper. “The farmer himself, however, has a part to play in getting more favorable market . conditions. There: is° no industry in- the country in which such bad salesmanship is .practiced as in the sale of “wheat by the farmer. The farmer himself does not follow any such methods in the sale of his other products. - “The farmer drives to market with his wheat at a time when the whole crop is being poured into the hands of- the ' elevator men. He . asks the price being offered for wheat and:he. accepts . it and sells ' his wheat, whatever the No other: industry could live, doing busin_ess in that way. FARMERS SHOULD HAVE OWN STORAGE FACILITIES *“Some progress, of course, is made by the ownership of elevators for the farmers. In these they -ean_ store a part. of their grain, but only a compara- tively- small part. They simply are compelled to dump the largest. part: of it ‘on the market at once. “Now one remedy, I think, is for the farmers individually to provide storage facilities for a part of their crop. “If the farmer has his -own bins he does not have to take his valuable time at the height of ‘the harvest to haul grain to the ‘elevator and he does not dump it on the market when the price is weakest.. He can wait for a favor- able price to sell and he can haul it in winter when .he has time and the haul- ing can be done’ ‘just as well. - “If there were storage facilities on the farm for only a tenth of the wheg,t ¥ crop it would make a great difference in - the - course of. the market and m ‘the profits to farmers of the state.” German Meetmg Dates Dates have been and English speakers wi nfid for ‘League meetmgs in July at which both German = ill heard.
