State Market Agent Seymour Joneg sends out the following regard ing an effort under way to defeat the farmers' co-operatlv marketing plan. Much money' to be spent to en able middle men to continue gouging groweru and to curtail their efforts. Mr. Jones' story follows: "A very powerful organization has been formed for the purpose of fighting co-operative marketing acti vity. The organization has been named the Federal Agricultural Traders of America, and embraces the various combinations that are handling products as middle-men, price fixers and profit takers in all lines, and also includes banking and manufacturing institutions. ThL; new federation claims that co-operative marketing by the agricultural claes means a heavy loss to ita members and is wrong from an eco nomic standpoint, and that it would be profitable to LpenJ a million dollars now to combat the advance of the co-operative principle. This effort of the market-controlling agencies to keep agricultural pro ducers from securing profits to them selves will pobably arouse the farmer.) to still greater efforts for organiza tion and the fight will be a bitter one. The farmers can win if they stick together." SHIP BY TRU REGULAR FREIGHT LINE SERVICE Between PORTLAND - THE DALLES - MAUPIN THE DALLES TRUCK LINE Inc.
