WATCHING THE PENNIES.
WHEAT GROWERS' CONCERN. "We have got to watch these pennies," said a wheatgrower, ! at a meeting of farmers at Culverden last week, when the position in regard to the payment of the balances due on grain sold to the Wheat Pool in past seasons was being explained by Mr. R. McPherson, manager of the Wheatgrowers' Association. Mr. McPherson said that tha wheat market had been considerably upset in the past few months owing to the announcement by the Prime Minister of the Government's intention to alter the sliding scale of duties. However, it was expected that the final payments for the 1929 and the 1930 seasons would bo available shortly, but the association would retain one penny a bushel to the credit of the growers. In reply to an apprehensive question by one of the growers present, Mr." McPherson gave an assurance that it was the original penny that was being retained and not another one.
