Union to Establish Sales Agencies. 



When the national wheat growers' union is organized, 

 they will take over the entire business of storing, distribut- 

 ing, and selling their wheat. That will give employment for 

 lots of their surplus cash and some of their sons and daugh- 

 ters. Territory will be divided up into districts and sales- 

 men provided for each with samples and price lists, and 

 orders taken as other producing and distributing concerns 

 do. Sales agencies will be established in all large cities and 

 in foreign wheat-importing countries. These agencies will 

 supersede the exchanges and boards of trade, in so far as 

 they deal in wheat, and will put them out of business in 

 that product. Since those institutions have cheated you 

 wheat growers out of billions of dollars, you should take a 

 delight in taking your business from them and tending to it 

 yourselves. Your own sons and daughters can do that. 



Surplus Carried Over to Famine Years. 



As it has been established by records that a few good 

 crops are generally followed by very poor ones, prudence 

 would dictate that the surplus supplies should be carried 

 over in such cases. This course would be provided for by 

 the union, so that prices would not decline much in the one 

 case nor advance too high in the other. This arrangement 

 would be best for all parties, and a great improvement over 

 the boards of trade methods. It would go a long ways in 

 justifying unionizing. 



Union to Employ Expert Wheat Statisticians. 



One great advantage in unionizing would be the ability to 

 employ an expert wheat statistician to gather correct in- 

 formation on the world's production and requirements of 

 wheat, its monthly condition and supplies in all countries, 

 and relative prices. A summary of world information on
