The contract la being drafted now, Mr. Jcwett aald. favors 100 kt cent Pool That tho national corporation will undoubtedly refuse to permit any al teration In the present arrangement calling for the 100 per cent pooling plan us It applies to the Northwest Is n foregone conclusion, the speaker de clared, due to the findings of the com mittee of three men who have Just concluded a trip through the four Northwest states. Four hundred dele Fates In Montana, Washington. Ore gon and Idaho who voted on the ques tion of whether the 100 per cent pool should be retained, or whether the na tional contract should bo substituted, ihowed that 391 were In favor of the 'ormer with nine delegates favoring the national contract.

The directorate of the state organi sation has been confined to men who sre wheat growers. Mr, Shunvway de clared, and their holding of office is not possible until they have signed a contract to deliver their own wheat. He reviewed his own part In the co operative movement which began in 1920 at the Spokane meeting. "There was no effort mndo to stac organizing here, until the matter had been carefully gone over," he said. Before action was taken the .Slate Grange and tho State Farm Bureau or ganizations were Invited to assist In he work with committees of the same votlii'j power as the one I had from the Fanners' Union. As for us Mr. Mansfield trying to run the movement I know that lie realized his lack of knowledge In the wheat growing busi ness, and he appointed a wheat com mittee to take i harso of the work for Ills organization." Don't olrc IClcvators 'II has also been said that the pres ent plan contemplates the buying of elevators which aro dead property on Iho hands nf farmers and which will bo sold to the state association. Our contract makes Is possible for us to buy elevators and warehouses so we may hold the club hand and be In a position to command service from present elevatoTs who might other wise discriminate against us. Our plans do not call for the purchase of any elevators here in tnis male, our chief business Is to sell wheat which has been grown by our own mem bers." New directors are to be elected June 7. he explained, and the election pro vides for voting by mall so that the entire membership may be able to ex press Its one desire as to the mem bership of the men who have the work to do.
