CHICAGO. July 24. Appointment
oi committees to devise plans for the
cooperative marketing ot grain an4
livestock was determined upon at tbe
final session today of the American
Farm Bureau federation. The live
stock proposal - was unanimously
approved when the association's com
mittee on that Industry recommend
ed it. The action came a few hours
after the plan ot the grain commit
tee had been received favorably cy
a majority of the convention.
The grain committee, which will
be appointed soon by J. R- Howard,
president ' of the federation j will be
a ' permanent body with headquar
ters In Chicago. It will investtcatn
existing plans of cooperative market
ing as well as suggest new plana.
Members of the committee will com
prise leading grain producers, ?rain
elevator men and others.
A resolution was adopted dlrectln
that efforts be made by the farm
bureau to obtain cars to move crops.
It also was recommended that frelrnt
problems be referred to the federa
tion to obtain uniform rates and
eqnal facilities for all farmers.
The federal trade commission was
congratulated tor "Us substantial
work In the east" and the support
of the federstion was pledged. An
other resolution indorsed deep water
way projects. .
Efforts of the federation to obtain
freight cars were reported by Mr.
Howard. "In January the federation
sent a delegation to Washington to
learn whether we could obtain nio.-e
cars." he said. "We were advl3ed
that there existed a shortage or ap
proximately 1OO.00Q cars and 'Vat
about 1 20.000 more noeded repair.
We were told that the best we eon'd
.hope to obtain In the way of fre'xht
cars was about o per cent or nor
