atien marketing only 40 per cent of the grain be said to represent the great majority of the farm, ers in Manitoba?" asktd Mr. Barkwell; in his statement. He continued: "The strong support given to this nil! by the pool leaders proves to that they at last admit that they are not merchandisers, have i no confidence in themselves as Ibeing able to market the farmer's 'grain and are now ut gently desirous of placing their responMbiliticn In the hands of political board so that they ran In turn direct their propaganda against the board when it fails."
