Farmers Union pushes direct sale of wheat at Springfield
At a Springfield meeting on May 14 delegates of the Farmers Union and American Society of Equity endorsed plans to build grain warehouses to hold wheat for high prices. Theodore Nelson urged growers to sign articles to market collectively, bypassing middlemen. Resolutions favored opposing railroad rate controls that trample state rights, boosts for agricultural schools, cotton use in twine and sacks, road building, and strict anti fallback wheat speculation measures. Meetings are to continue until the last Tuesday in July with many more gatherings planned.
