the world. The Canadian Wheat Pool,
0 with its three units in the Provinces
of Menitoba, Saskatchewan and Al-
t berta, now has a total membership of
12$,000 farmers, eontrolllng 13,230,-
1 000 of the 21,000,000' acres sown to
wheat last year in the three prairie
provinces. It_ is handling the sale of
the greater part of the wheat produc-
tion of Canada, and Canada already
exports more wheat than any other
country in the world.
The: largest proportion of the wheat ,
is sold by a Central Selling Agency
tQ importers and buyers in different
countries of the world, for the agency
has direct Belling connections with
every wheat importing. country and
its own representatives in 51 ports of
the world. The funds which accrue
from the sales are di's'bursed to the
members of the • three Pools, This
method of handling wheat provides a
large volume through one agency and
reduces the cost of operation to a
minimum.
The Wheat Pool in Western Canada
is a notable example of the advance-
ment made by the farmers of this age.
Already it has shown the possibilities
and advantages of co-operative mar-
keting. The farmer in the Canadian
West, who is a member of the Wheat
Pool, has realized that under the old
system he sold his grain to middlemen
who bought it for the express purpose
of making a profit in the reselir,g of
it. Under the old system, too, the
farmer sold his wheat and took what
the market offered. In the Pool sys-
tem he delivers his grain when -con-
venient and obtains the average price
of the selling period, together with
the saving in the handling costs. The
Pool price to every member is the
price at Fort William, less handling
charges and freight charges. The
atter, of course, vary according to the
ength of the haul.
