tion for cooperative wheat market

waste and for stabilizing wheat
markets in the interests of the
grower and the public through this

from date hereof, this to Include
five (5) full crop seasons, the Asso
ciation agrees to market and the
Grower agrees to sell through and
deliver to the Association all wheat

acquired by or for him, as landlord
or lessor, as long as he produces
wheat directly or indirectly, or has
the legal right to exercise control
of any commercial wheat, or any
interest therein, during the time of
this agreement, provided, however,

sold subject to the deductions and
charges herein stated. The Associa
tion shall buy his grain outright at
a price based on the current market
value and pay him such price, on
surrender of warehouse receipts

Association may sell his pooled
grain In its own name, borrow mon
ey in its name on his grain through
drafts, acceptances, notes or other
wise, or on any warehouse receipts
or bills of lading or upon any ac
counts for the sale of grain or on
any commercial paper delivered
therefor, and act in its own name
in any legal proceedings which it
deems necessary to protect his grain
or the proceeds therefrom or to ac
complish the purposes of the asso
ciation. The Association shall pro
rate the money borrowed on pooled
grain received from growers among
the growers equitably, as it may
determine, for each grade and per
iod of delivery.

by the members of a co-partnership,
it shall apply to them and each of
them individually, In the event of
the dissolution or termination of the
said co-partnership.

ciation shall have the right to take

ment to the contrary notwithstand
ing, It is hereby expressly agreed

market wheat for the Grower only

discretion of the board of directors
of the Association, make it feasible
to market the Grower's wheat at an
advantage to him and the other
members of this Association, and
that the Grower will deliver wheat
to the Association only after receipt
of notice from the Association so to
do and in accordance with such

Last Minute Hints for
The Christmas Table
(School of Home Economics, O.S.C.)
Just a few last minute Christmas
suggestions for the table
It is necessary to cool candy with
out beating if a smooth creamy tex
ture is desired.
If sea foam, divinity or nugate
fails to harden, it may be recooked
over hot water until small amounts
will harden on oil paper.
Candy has reached the hard ball
stage when the sirup brought above
the surface of the testing water can
be shaped Into a plastic but hard
ball.
The Christmas turkey may be
tested for "doneness" by piercing
one of the thighs near the breast
If the juice does not show a red
tinge, the turkey Is done.
A pimento, rubbed through a sieve
into mashed potatoes makes a col
orful and tasty variation of the
plain mashed potato.
Pineapple may be colored and
slightly flavored by dissolving red
cinnamon candies in its juice and
allowing the slices to stand in the
juice about four hours.
Red apple peeling may be cut and
used as a garnish on salads.
