United States Grain Growers, Inc.,
would not present contracts to grain
growers in those states prior to 1924, but
all new members secured by the North
west state assaciatlons, subsequent to
the execution of the contract, would be
considered as applying for membership
in the United States Grain Growers. A
xone agency of the larger company to be
located in the Northwest Is likewise pro
vided for m the recommendations. While
no membership fee would be required
under the contemplated agreement for
the existing membership In the North
west states, any surplus remaining after
organization expenses are paid from $10
membership fees collected in the future,
will revert to the United States Grain
Growers.
A committee of three, consisting of J.
TL Howard,? president of the American
farm bureau federation; U. L. Burdick
of North Dakota, and W. F. Schilling of
Minnesota, who are directors of the
United States Grain Growers, are em
powered to make a full investigation of
the conditions in the three Nortnwest
states and make such necessary changes
or modifications In the agreement cov
ered in the resolution. The same com
mittee will I make recommendations to
the executive committee! with regard to
a consolidation contract with Montana
wheat growers. ; '
"The Northwest will be pleased to see
the committee and give them all the in
formation available," said Jewett. "It
is' my personal opinion that the results
will be such that our interests will be
entirely harmonious with the United
States-Grain Growers. Inc.
A late report states that more than
3.000.00O bushels of the J921 wheat crop
in' Oregon have been signed up as the re
suit of additional contracts signed by
representatives, of the Oregon Coopera
tive Grain Growers association.
Over 120.000 bushels are signed up by
Gilliam county wheat men, and as a re-
suit pf two meetings held in Wallowa
county 70.000 bushels were signed up on
0 contracts. .

The California Walnut Growers Co
operative association is showing its pro
gressive spirit through the erection of a
7300,000 office and by-products building
which is being financed through a sub
sidiary of the association called the Wal
nut Growers company. A great deal of
the stock has already been disposed of
to bankers and growers. Some idea of
the immensity of the business done by
the association can be seen by the fact
that the cost of this building will represent-but
from two to three per cent of
one year's walnut sales.
The plant will be modern In every re

experienced breeders at this sale.

George A. Mansfield, president of
the Oregon state farm bureau fed
eration,' has, just returned . from a
meeting of the executive committee
of the American farmlbureau feder
ation, held in Washington, D. C.
While In the East, he also attended
the roeeting of the V, S, Grain Grow
ers, Inc. held at Cnicago.
At the time the U. S. Grain Growers
were meeting in Chicago, a meetlgn of
the fruit growers was also held, and the
farmers livestock marketing committee
held a second , session. Plans were laid
for a national tobacco marketing com
mittee and a national cotton marketing
conference was held In Memphis. Tenn.,
on April 26. The national dairy market
ing conference will be held in Chicago,
beginning on May 3. It may be seen
from this that the farmer is working out
his own marketing program and that the
American Farm Bureau Federation is
helping him with every resource at ita
command, according J.o Mansfield.
Mansfield states that the executive
committee of the Farm "Bureau Federa
tion declared for a repeal of guaranteed
railroad rates, asked for a decided low
ering in railroad rates ; demanded that
agriculture receive the same protection
that industry is now receiving In tariffs",
declared its opposition to a repeal of
the income tax and the shifting of the
tax burden to'those least able to bear it
by the adoption of the proposed sales
tax ; and -declared opposition to tax-free
securities and pointed out that more

than $16,000,000,000 now escapes federal
taxation.'
The executive committee urges legisla
tion which will provide the proper au
thorisation for commodity financing
tased upon warehouse receipts, for cat
tle financing based upon propr security,
and for personal rural credits secured
by proper insurance features. The com
mittee also asks that prof its derived
from the federal reserve banks be maae
a revolving fund to provide capital dur
ing the interim between the time Mihfn
requests for money are received, nnd the
sale of debentures : and that these de
bentures be made eligible for sale In fed
eral reserve banks or on open market. It
is also requested that the federal reserve
board be given propert authority to so
classify re-discounts that primary pro-
ductton may be given adequate con
sideration, and that the federal farm
loan banks be authoriied to Increase
their maximum loan to $25,000, nnd that
all country banks bo asked to Join the
federal reserve system.

1 NOTES
Eggs are more plentiful during March.
April and May esgs laid during tlvs
period keep in storage better than thK
laid later in the season. It is good
business, while eggs are low in price and
high in quality, to preserve a f.-w fur
home use during the season of low pro
duction and high prices.
The rate of growth is greater during
the first month f a chick's life than fit
any other period. The early spring is
nature's most favorable growing pcno.l.
Chicks should be hatched early ami
have the advantage of the natural grow
ing season. On some farms where
equipment is limited, it is almost us
economical to stop hatching as to start
hatching, thereby avoidinn the experience
of brooding together chicks of different
ages.
