FARMER-BANKER CONFERENCES
THROUGHOUT NATION DEVELOP
WAYS TO JO AGRICULTURE
Collective Marketing, Diversified Farming, Promotion of
Agricultural Education and Use of Bank Instead of
Mercantile Credits Chief Lines of Suggested Action.
By D. H. OTIS,
Director, Agricultural Commission, American Bankers Association.
Four lines of action to Improve tbs business of farming
stand out in the discussions that have occurred at a series
of farmer-banker conferences now being held throughout
the United States. They are collective marketing, di-
versified fanning, the promotion of agricultural education
and the ubo of the more economical bank credit rather
than mercantile credit. At many polntB active steps to
foster action along these lines have been taken.
The conferences were initiated by the Agricultural
Commission of the American Bankers Association to the
end that the condition of the mau on the farm be Improved.
The first conference was held in conjunction with the Wis-
consin College of Agriculture at Madison. An Important
point of contact for the work of the Commission was established at this
venting In the form of co-operation with the agricultural colleges.
Many farmers, it was brought out, now
depend entirely on the cotton crop,
and hny the products named for their
own tables.
More Economical Credit
At the conference at Ithaca, N. 7.,
thosfc participating felt tjiat a better
understanding between farmers and
bankers would be beneficial to both.
At present a large amount of the cred-
it used by farmers is in the form of
mercantile credit, which, it was point-
ed out, is much more expensive for
them thtf.n bank credit, It was felt that
a campeUgp of education Is needed to
acquaint farmers with banking facili-
ties. The conference, therefore, rec-
omtmenlded that the Agricultural Com-
mittee of the State Bankers Associa-
tion, the agricultural college and rep-
resentatives of the Farm Bureau and
the $tate Grange gat together for the
purpose of working out programs and
plajjs for further meetings to be held
in the various counties of the state.
AT a conference held at Amherst,
Maesaclmsotts, there were representa-
tives from Vermont, New Hampshire,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Con-
necticut. Emphasis wans placed on the
Importance of the Boys’ and Girls’
Clufc. work. The New England confer-
ence also felt that the importance of
, ba/ik credit over mercantile credit
conference, recognizing the valuable | should be stressed. A resolution was
work being done by county agricul- j adopted and is being sent to agricul-
tural and home demouetration agents, aural committees In each Stale urging
also went on record as favoring the that they get in touch with their agri-
employment of agents in each county, i culural colleges and map out a pro-

In five other states—California,
Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Utah
—It was agreed at subsequent confer-
ences that bankers’ agricultural com-
mittees would meet at the state agri-
cultural colleges and, in co operation
With the college officials, work out a
program that they would recommend
to the banks.
f The Texas Plan
It was at the Texas conference that
it was developed that the officials or
both the bankers’ association r.nd of
the state college felt the big problem
tor that state was the establishment
Of a system of collective, orderly mar-
keting. In order to bring this prob-
lem effectively before the farmers and
the bankers it was agreed to hold a
banker-fanner meeting In December.
Efforts will be made to gett from 200
to 260 bankers to attend, each banker
lo bring with him several representa-
tive farmers of his community. The
program and demonstration will em-
phasise the need of meeting the mar-
kptlqj problem and point ways to a
satisfactory solution.
At Athens, Georgia, the conference
recommended that the State Honkers
Association take steps to raise a fund
for assisting deserving students to
complete a college course'in agri-
culture or home economics phis
At the Raleigh, North Carolina, con-
ference the pressing problem, in addi-
tion to loans for worthy students, was
held to be encouragement of the Bann-
er to practice greater crop diversifica-
tion The conferees felt that the first
big step was to get fame . at least
to produi- ufficlont vegetal)!' . fruit.
milk, meat and poultry to live on. j the farmers.

He will make his campaign more

It was generally understood that be

Ferris, then a congressman, would
not run against Senator Gore. Soon
after Ferris got in, Freeling got out.
The attorney general was eager to
run against Owen In 1918 but was
dissuaded by his friends and ndvisers.
Freeling has been opo of Walton’s

While Short and the governor are

State Bank Commissioner Joe Strain
from office, there are other indica-

the general’s part toward his chief.

George Wilson, the ousted president
of the Agricultural and Mechanical
College at Stillwater, has challenged
Governor Walton to a series of ten
joint debates on the issue of the
doublecross, whether or not the gov-
ernor has employed it In his relations
with the farmers and laborers of Ok

Wilson, it will be remembered, was
both appointed and removed at the in-
stance of the governor.
“We will leave It to the audiences
to judge whether or not the farmers
and city workers have been betrayed
by you," says Wilson, suggesting that
each pick five places at which to hold
debates
