CO-OP. BOARP CONP.J TERING RULES
FOR THE POTATO POOL. ' '
The Co-op. Board is trying to
formulate rul- s for the potato pooj
that will bo n cessary, for the
hnndleing of.potato crop this frllJ
j
The question of how much it will
bu possiaole to advance on spuds
as they arc delivered is being
gone into thouroughly, as there aH
115 growers and probably all of
them will want as much as they can1
got, it is rather difficult to dec
ide how much cm b allowed. If
each grower is•allowed payments up!
to s? 300 it will take nearly
thirty five thousand dollars to
finance this par4- of the pool,
besides the other exp oners.
The Army agrees to take, their
part, over a peroid of eight months
or the pool may not be closed until
the last of next June.
The rumor has bean spread in the
last week, that tho Array Is not
going to keep t.hsir part cr' the con
tract, and that ootrto bro: ;rs will
not be able to sell their potato s.
We are’not able to sneak for the
Array and have not even ask them
whether this is true cr not, because
it 5s so l'ldiculis that it osc't
deserve any attention whutev■. r.
In tho first place a conli set was
signed by Array and Co-op. cficcials
la3t spring oroviding for t. e pur
chasc of 1,300 tons of potatoes, and
even if the Army officials were in
clined to want to change ti -ir minds,
( and no evidence to corifi: • this
'has been recieved) th< fact still
remains that a vs lid cor.tr; ct was
signed and there is no rear on to
believe that it could be ah 11 d
without tood and sufficient r ns.
* ¥ot only do wc have the \ ord cf
the Army Officials, but we ; Iso have
a written contract .as well • nd It is
utterly libelous to assume that they
are not going to fullfill.their part
cf the contract, uni ss positive
■action confirms a statement of tl is
kind.
Co-ftp. Officials state t! i t they
have no reason to believe that any
th ing of this kino is going to b
done, because Col. Knuds on and !*a j or
:Furris of the Quart .master 1 • ot.
have been very fair and friendly at
all times in their•business rcl tions
’with the Co-op.
The only danger that exists, that
might cause the cancellation of the
contract, is the failure on the- part
of the growers and their m/rkot^ng
association to live up to U ir part
of the contract, if potato or not
properly handled and chisl rs try to
'pan stuff on the Army below standard
'•then it might cause trouble.
