New Wheat Trade Combine Proposed by Farm Leaders
A Chicago meeting of the committee of 17 formed by the National Farm Bureau Federation outlined a plan for a national wheat trust. The idea envisions a cooperative association with shareholding farmers controlling output and prices for five to seven years.
