WOULD HELP FARMERS.
European Credit System Recon-
mended BY Ambassador Herrick.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 21.-Sweeping
recommendations for legislation de-
signed to aid development of agricul.
ture in the United States are contain
ed in document forwarded to Wash
ington by the American ambass ador.
Myron T. Herrick, who has completed
an investig alton OF systems of agri-
cultural facilities now in operation in
Europe.
The ambass sador's report recon-
mends the adoption by the United
States of the Reifessen system of agri-
cultural cooperative credit societies.
This system has been particularly sue.
cessful in Germany, where its opera.
tion represents half the business of the
commercial business.
1t includes operations composed OF
all cooperative societies, whereby
farmers are able to borrow money for
short time on their guarantee. The
societies have become the nucleus of q
series of central cooperative banks.
The report also recommends that
persons interested in the welfare of the
farmer should form a general commit
tee to direct properly q movement for
lending money to farmers for long
periods at lower rates than they now
obtain. The report urges the presi
dent to place the matter before the
people and suggests holding state con
ventions to be followed by nationa
convention, at which permanent
committee should be appointed.
