Explanation of why the United

Northwest, and of tho plan whereby it

at a meeting of wheat growers at

Washington, Oregon and Idaho had

doing of the work already accomplish

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. He explained
the three plans of the national con
tract and also told of the amount that
has been signed In Oregon. Very llttld
has been done In Umatilla county, he
said.

A. It. Hhumway of Milton, state
president of the Farmers' Union, and
president of the board of directors of
the Oregon Cooperative Wheat flrow
ers' association, presided at the meet
ing, and In his Introductory remarks
he replied to criticisms made by Boy
W. Itltner, local iariner and president
of the senate during the recent legis
lature expressed In a speech Wednes
day. 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.
