TEN Of Belgian conditions. He estab-
lished his first rural cooperative bank
In 1892. BY 1910 six hundred and
forty-three of these banks had been
established. This shows the immense
growth of the o-operative-credit idea
in Belgium. Except that by law these
cooperative banks or societies in Bel
gium are required to raise founda-
tion capital to start with and are not
allowed to hold their reserve funds as
indivisible, there is little difference be-
tween the Belgian societies and the
Raiffeisen banks Of Germany The so
cieties in Belgium, as in Germany. are
served by central cooperative banks.
In Belgium these central banks supey
wise the management and audit the
books of the rural cooperative banks.
They also guarantee loans made to
the rural banks by the General Savings
Bank In 1894 a law was passed set
ting aside 100000 francs of the funds
of the General Savings Bank which
was to be loaned to the rural banks at
the set rate of 3A per cent. In order
to enjoy the benefit of this law rural
bank has to become a member in "a
central cooperative bank and has to
have the central banks guaranty for
the loan The central bank receives
a commission of one-twelfth of | per
cent of the interest charged as pay
ment for this surety. These central
cooperative banks are formed among
the rural banks, each rural bank sub
scribing for share of stock valued at
$25 and assuming liability for the CEN
trail banks Indebtedness to the sum
of $3.50 The rural bank receives a
set dividend of per cent on its stock
in the central bank
Complete statistics of the business
done by the cooperative societies of
Belgium are not obtainable, but the
total loans made in year amount to
about million dollars and they carry
deposits totaling probably two mil
lions, which, in country the size of
Belgium, shows healthy growth for
the cooperative idea in that country

COOPERATIVE CREDIT SYSTEM
IN BELGIUM.

Washington, August 24.-Minister
Larz Anderson has completed the ip-
vestigation of the cooperative credit
systems of Belgium which he under
took in connection with President
Taft's attempt to establish co-opera-
tive credit in this country for the
benefit of the American farmer.
The first attempt made in Belgium
to relieve the farmers from the burden
of high interest rates was essentially
governmental undertaking. 1t is in
teresting to note, however, that the
co-operative idea as developed in Ger
many was lated adopted in Belgium
and has largely supplanted the plan
adopted by the Belgian government
at least so far as the smaller land
owners are concerned.
BY law, In 1884, the General Savings
Bank was authorized to make loans to
farmers and to societies of farmers.
AS guaranty for these loans small
corporate bodies were formed, known
as "comptoirs agricoles.' which guar
anteed the loans to the General Saw
ings Bank and for this service re-
ceiyed small commission AS the
plan worked out, these guarantors
found it both more profitable and safer
to act as sureties for the larger land
owners. The smaller farmers could
not offer as good security and the COM
mission paid to the comptoirs
agricoles' on such loan as was re-
quired by small farmer did not make
| the game worth the candle. Conse-
quently. IN the first twenty-five years
after this form OF loan had been au-
thorized by law, only about fifteen
"eomptoirs agricoles" were formed in
all Belgium OF the three thousand
and odd loans guaranteed by these
"comptoirs agricoles' at the end Of
1909. only a fraction on a hundred
were for amounts less than $3.50,
which shows that the small farmers
received little real benefit from this
seheme
Realizing this. the Able Mellaerts

HOW WE LOST HALF A MILLION
DOLLARS.

Fruit growers of Oklahoma lost
100000 this year on account of per-
mitting their peaches to get too ripe
and for the further reason that they
made no arrangements for marketing
their fruit through central selling
agency or association
Half million dollars worth Of
peaches rotted on the ground in okla
homa this year. Shall we let this hap
pen next year?
The fruit growers of our state are
in the mood to organize state associ-
alton. They don't wish to pass through
another season OF oyer-productioa.
With an association that is in touch
with the markets of the world there
can be no oyer-production. There is a
demand for Oklahoma peaches but we
have not yet perfected our marketing
methods.
In California the prune growers sold
their product in haphazard way and
made no money. They tired of work
ing for nothing and former an associa-
ton. Since that time they have pros
pered amazingly; their fruit has been
graded and Inspected and by being
standardized finds ready sale in the
worlds markets at profitable prices.
The onion growers of southern
Ttxas had a similar experience. Now
they have a selling agency who knows
which eastern and northern markets
are bare or glutted and can ship in
telligently. Much of the fruit-market-
ing of Oklahoma was done so loosely
this year that the returns about paid
the freight. Some fruit growers ship
ped their fruit to irresponsible deal
ers and had to be content with the re.
mittance received, which was only
part of the real value of the shipment
A state fruit association would pro
tect every shipper He would know
that he would not get robbed as it
would be the duty of the selling agent
to find reliable consignees.
An association statewide in its
scope would buy material early and
would instruct fruit growers in time
SO that fruit would not be permitted
to get too ripe before being Grated.
The formation of selling organization
would prevent loss in the future and
surely the fruit growers will take the
matter UP this fall and be ready for
another season.
If they wait until spring they may
not be able to find the right man to
be the manager of the association
They can get competent man this
fall. Since our peach crop will be
bigger next year than it was in 1912,
and since 1t will gain each year until
$50, 900 900 will represent the annual
output of Oklahoma peaches, why not
start the state association at once?-

endure, and in clinging cultivate In
us those passions and emotions that
are better than all the money in the
world
And when, in the worlds mad rush
after money, child is run down and
mangled. and it's lift tide ebbs, and
the little breath becomes feeble, and
the tiny pulse slips away, and at last
the precious one is still and dead, and
the tense silence of the home is brok-
en- with agontizing cries, then a sor-
row is burned into the heart that no
lapse of time can soften or efface.-
