Plan to Market Canadian Grain Via Federal Bank Council
A farmer with mill and shipping background proposes a grain marketing reform. He urges a Federal Bank backed system, government appointed and public elected Council of Agriculture, and state takeover of elevators to curb graft. The plan calls for fixed per bushel charges, no profits, and eventual farmer ownership, with August 1 1923 as a potential settle date. He warns current grain markets depress prices and argues for centralized control to stabilize living costs.
