Not only is crop development at a crucial stage, with virtually all the prairie wheat-land but the end of May is dne-date for two steps of profound impert- ance in the wheat-marketing gys- tem. Drastic alteration of the wheat pool plan of disposing of grain i looked on as inevitable outcome of a series of meetings being held | in Manitoba this week. Member of the Manitoba Wheat toward a change in the principle of the pool contract, They are being asked if they wish the op- tion of selling their wheat in the open market instead of by the time-henored system, In June 1, if Manitoba pool members approve the sugzestion of their directors, the | tive Lody will abandon its prin ing an initial payment and then paying out later the sum received by the sale of the grain, The directors' proposal, regardegl as and given the farmer a larger payment for his wheat, woulcg permit any farmer-member to deliver his wheat mediately the entire "spot" rice Only one stipulation js made in the altered contract with re- gard to the new order--all con- tract-signers' wheat must be de- | livered to the Manitoba Pool Ele- | vators, Ltd., subsidiary the | pool, The change would | that the Manitoba pool elevator | | of system would step into the grain business in exactly the same man- ner as followed by line-elevator companies, "hedging" "spot" purchases on the futures market, Since the pools were orzanized in the west eight years ago, they have been adamant in their ro- fusal to recognize the futures market as essential to the inare | keting of Canadian wheat. De. | cision of Manitoba poolers to adopt the new contract would he the first stamp of approval on the futures system. By "hedy- ing"--or selling futures against --whatever grain is delivered un- der the open market system, the pool would be able to obwa'n larger bank advances, thereby enabling more substantial pay- ments--a move stated to be ne- cessary if western agricullure is to be sustained.

Accordingly, The London Life pro- poses to publish its figures of new business and other facts for each week from May 25th to the end of June. This period serves as a good "barometer" for the year. London Life figures are significant to Canadians because it is a purely Canadian institution and has lived through every phase of this country's economic history since 1874. It also has developed its entire business within the Dominion of Canada, and has more than 525,000 policy- holders from coast to coast: Its new business in 1929 and again in 1930 amounted to more than one hundred mil lion dollars of insurance.
