Escrow money will not be exchanged for stock until author ized signature of Northwest Chemurgy Cooperative officials is affixed to an agreement to build a starch factory in Klam ath basin in 1946 and subsequent ly in 1947, with additional stock sale, to construct a glucose plant at the same site capable of pro cessing all starch produced here. It is estimated that the pro posed plants will process over ; 28,000 tons of cull potatoes an nually and will produce 4200 tons of glucose currently val ued at $840,000. Except for lim ited stock feeding the basin's cull crop is at present a total loss. To Cost $200,000 The finished starch - glucose plant is expected to cost $200, 000. An estimated cost of $150, 000 is indicated for the starch plant to be constructed in 1946. Northwest Chemurgy Coopera tive officials have indicated that construction will be initiated when growers here subscribe $100,000 in stock. It has been stated that con struction of the starch plant must start in May if the entire 1946 crop is to be processed. It is planned to ship 1946 starch to a glucose plant now building at The Dalles. Northwest Chemurgy Cooper ative is operating plants at Lin den, Ellensburg and Wenatchee, Wash.

Each year's operation is a separate ac counting period. Stock is issued in multiples of $100 only. A suggested yardstick for stock purchase was outlined by Klam ath Potato Growers and Tulelake growers committees and is based on 1948 potato acreage. The sug gested rate of purchase is $7.50 per acre of potatoes grown in 1946. Farmers not growing po tatoes in 1946 are eligible to buy stock. It is pointed out that directors can refuse to take culls from non stock holders. Northwest Chemurgy Co-op has been paying $10 and more per ton of culls at time of de livery. Growers here place more em phasis on value of the plant in diversion of low grade potatoes in low price years than on return from culls processed in normal times.
