things xvn can say privately, lo
friends of our weather work, about
when to sell their grain, that would
lie entirely on I of place in our wea-

We regard local grain and cotton
dealers as absolute necessities. As we
see It they are not interested in beat-
ing down prices. They want fair anil
steady prices and they would pay
more to producers if the markets
were more fair anil reliable. I'n-
stcsdy unfair market prices are ulit-
oits to iho local dialers as well as to
the producers.
