rural cooperation, especially with regard

rowed capital of over $6OOO,OOO,OO0 and
according to eX-President Taft faces an
annual interest charge of S51O,0OO.OOO on

| terest on the money he has borrowed, in
a country where commercial interest rates
are low: while the German farmer pays
about per cent in country where com
mercial interest rates are high The
farmer must pay nearly twice as much
for the money he bOrrows as do the rail-
| roads, the industrial corporations and the
municipalities around him. in spite of the
fact that his land is the basis of all values
and his products the foundation of all
wealth. This is attributed to the fact that
he has no financial machinery behind him
for the conversion of his holdings into
negotiable credit.
That such machinery may be provided is
shown by the experience In Germany.
Through all the changing conditions of
century, the soundnesS and practicabilty
of such machinery. based upon the pecul-
lar credit needs of the farmer, has been
tried out there. and SO successful has 1t
been in operation that in times of stress

RURAL CREDITS.
1.-The Needs of the
Farmer.
Ru Frederic r Haskin
By Frederic J. Haskin.

Just now there is coming to fruition a
movement to ASSIST the farmers of the
United States financially. 1t started with
the Southern Commercial Congress, and
may end with a farmers bank in every
community. where farmers can borrow
money from themselves at low rates.
and thus put themselves on an equal
footing with the industrial and CONNER
cial world.
OF late years the American people have
spent so much time listening to stories
about farmers who ride around in auto
mobiles, who send their sons and daugh-
tiers to college. and who make pilgrim
ages to the city to attend the opera that
they have begun to regard them as a
sort of twentieth century addition OF
Midas. And they have heard so much
about the $4,000, 100000 worth of prod
ucts the farmers annually produce that
they have not stopped to consider how
much that means to each farmer.
AS a matter of fact, there are 1900,
coo farmers in the United States; they
own $4,000, 900,
Average Wealth $50 WORTH OF
Not So Impressive. and ANIMALS
produce $500, 100000 worth of crops.
Those figures sound exactly like the
popular impression of the farmer-a man
with a sixty-horsepower car. with son
at Harvard and a daughter at Vassar-
but wait until they are analysed. Divide
the total farm wealth among those II,
600. 600 farmers and you will find their
average wealth is 1888; and then DIVIDE
that annual farm yield among them, and
YOU will find that the average farmer $
gross annual income is $791. Out OF this
he must feed and clOthe his family, edu-
cate his children, find his pleasures, pay
his interest and his taxes and lay by Ior
his rainy day.
1t is true that there are millions OF
farmers who measureably come up TO
the popular picture of the automoblle-
buying farmer-perhaps 4,OOO,OOO OF
them-but there is another S,OOO,OVV
whose struggles are hard. and who can
barely exc out an existence. To Illus
trate: Suppose there are 4,OOO,O 900 farm
ers in the United States worth an aver
age of $1,000 each-that would make a
total of $4,000. 100000. SO that the
other 100000 would be worth only
81 500 each. And suppose the products
Of the farms of those 100000 farmers
amounted to $1,000 each: That would
make $4,000. 100000 and leave the otner
100000 farmers to divide the gross
profits Of $500. 100000 among them-a
beggarly $437.5O year income. out OF

there might not be found some method
of helping him to solve his problem,
to enhance his financial we'll being and
to increase his contribution to the well
fare of the nation.
That organiza ton saw that the tend
ency of the times is away from farm
ownership and toward tenant farming.
1t saw in the census returns that one
occupying farmer out of every seven
has left the farm since 1880, and recog-
nfzed that there was something funda-
mentally Wrong-else such an increase
of tenancy and such decrease In
ownership farming could not have
taken place. 1t looked to the city and
creasing as rapidly as the number OF
farm owners on the land were decreas-
ing. 1t saw the city artisan able to buy
his house on small cash payment and
the balance as rent, while the farmer
must pay a third down and the balance
in short period of years.
Here was clue. A look further showed
that other countries had solved the prob
lem, and that there home ownership on
the farm was on the increase. 1t showed
that in Germany the farmers had solved
the question of meeting their own needs
by long time payments, and that co-opera-
operation in buying and in selling. and
that consequently the German farmer
was enjoying an economic independence
out of all proportion to the size of his
land holdings.

SUMMER FALL0W
IS THE THING

Whether the fallOw system Will be
an important part of the dry land
crop rotation after the country is
settled and developed, when land is
wOrth a hundred or more dollars per
acre, we are not saying. Under
present conditions and land values it
is better practice to take one crop OF
thirty or forty bushels, once in two
years, than two crops of fifteen or
twenty bushels each. Experience at
the Moccasin experiment station in
dicates that it is good farming to
take about three successive crops at.
ter breaking. After that Il summer
fallOw doubles the crop. Far better
results are obtained after the third
year from breaking by alternating
crop and fallow. The results at Moe
casin coincide with the best farming
experience in the Gallatin valley and
elsewhere. Good farmers in these
places summer fallow relIgiously.
Summer following does not mean
simply allowing land to lie idle and
grow weeds and volunteer crop. 1t
has three definite objects: 1. TO
conserve and store up moisture. 2.
TO clean up the land and get rid Of
the weeds. 3. TO promote the pre-
paration of available plant food for
the next crop.
These objects are best accomplished
by double disking the land early in
the spring, then blowing in May or
June after the weed seeds have ger
minated. Flowing early helps to pre-
vent the run. off of summer rains and
prevents loss Of moisture. Harrow
ing should be done Immediately after
blowing, and thereafter often enOuhg
to kill the small weed and maintain
soil mulch. by following this
method, seed Will germinate ut once
when put in the latter part Of Aug
ust, the land will he clean, and 4

pected.

devote the necessary time to handling
the different details Of the program
to be carried out. In addition to the
usual program of speaking, ball game,
and athletic sports. several special
attractions have been planned, which
will he Of special interest to the farm

will give special train service to the
experiment station on the day of the
picnic, the schedule to be announced
