Mix, president' of the: Latah county cooperative and lieutenant governor of Idaho, saying he thought the directors of the regional body deserted the cause of the grain farmer in their underwriting policy issued recently by the farm board.

Huff, president of the Farmers' National Grain corporation, whose principal business seemed to be to propagandize and bolster up the farm board." "I feel that action of the board in dealing with surplus wheat is extremely hurtful," he said. He declared surplus wheat should be taken off the market "by a pledge from the board that surplus will not be sold until wheat reaches $1.25 a bushel." Mix, who called a meeting of farmers last Monday to discuss the same situation with Senator John Thomas of Idaho, wired Senator Borah that 95 that per cent of the farmers here agree the action of the North Pacific does not express their views.
