Pool members who wanted power on their farms in 1925 could get a $100 discount on the Lalley Light and Power unit advertised in the February 1925 issue of The Scoop Shovel.
The eighth issue of the publication representing Manitoba co-operatives said that in addition to 9,230 farmers who had committed all their wheat to a marketing pool, there were 2,195 members in Manitoba Co-operative Dairies, 6,500 in the Cattle Pool, 3,000 in the co-op poultry-marketing association and 300 in the wool growers’ pool.
After the success in signing so many Prairie farmers to commit all their wheat to a five-year marketing pool, the issue reported that Saskatchewan Wheat Pool had incorporated an elevator company with capital of $100,000, and that Manitoba Pool’s solicitor had also been instructed to take steps to incorporate an elevator company.
