gross and 20 keep up agitation on
the country.
The steamship and railway lines
have secured their beneficent laws
in the same manner.
1t might be profitable for the far
mers of the country to allow the
same lamp that lighted the paths
of the promoters of these industries
to guide their feet into the same
channels OF obtaining from the gov
ernment those laws that will divert
some of the attention of the gov
ernment TO the production OF the
! farms.
II is not our business to Criticise
national legislators nor to condemn
our own country. 1t has made Won
derful progress along many lines
ana if we can succeed in carrying
on a campaign that will attract tha
attention of congress to the needs
of a rural Cre dil system and con-
vince them that such a plan can
be carried out the legislation will
be forthcoming. Whether this agita-
tiOn requires one year or several
years depends upon the enthusiasm
of the men whose lives will be af-
fected by the legislation.
If the farmer never raises his
voice, but waits until all other hun
cry lines Of endeayor are first fed
the agriculturaist will be complain
ing Of his load and of his neglect
quarter of a century from now
Just the same as he is today
Some years ago David Lubin.
merchant of California, rounded out
a career in money making in which
he accumulated all he desired and
after finishing that work he began
the study of agriculture and of ru.
raj credits. He went to the Inter
national Agricultural Institute at
Rome, Italy, to pursue his studies
and It was through correspondence
with him that | learned something
Of the European rural credit sys-
tens. AS | studied them the more
| became convinced that they could
rot for many years become of SER
vice TO the farmers in our own cOun-
try. The foundation for those sys-
TENS is based upon mutual dealings
and in business confidence these
men have in one another One plan
is for all the farmers to put up
their property in one common mort
gage, to secure a loan and divide
out this loan to those who desire
to use it. | Investigated the feast
bility of that system by personally
approaching a number of farmers
who own property and asked them If
they would consent to employ such
methods for the farming interests |
Each one approached replied in the
negative. We know the methods |
of doing business here, we know
service and | knew that when the |
plan was first seen, but | put it to !
the test, and never a man signified |
a willingness to become a member |
of such a cooperative plan Of Sc
curing cheap money.
Then what next?
1t may wound your feelings, but !
the interest rate the farmer pays |
Justifles the assertion that the credit
of the farmer in this country is bad.
If his credit was better he could get .
cheaper money.
