Afternoon Session

The afternoon 50251011 was de- voted largely to general discussion cn the directors report. The failing off in volume of business handled by the Association last your wus under fire for some time but no formal recommendation was mode by delegates a; to how the sit- uation could be remedied. Several speakers declared that the falling oft in volume of business was due to natural conditions, partially caused by the poor grain crops oi the past two years. There was no failing off in members and pro- duction would come back when con- ditions reverted to normal they predicted. Other speakers believed the lessening volume of business

hhndled b the Association was due to hlgier prices paid by in- dividual dealers.
