COOPERATIVE BANK SYSTEMS
eIse Report on European Rural
Credits-His Views.

From college professor, Charles
B. Austin of the University Of Texas
who was one Of the American commits
sion to study European rural credits
and who. together with other Texas
members. has Just returned, has come
the briefest report yet published. and
also the one containing the most
healthy germ Of common sense.
Professor Austin says: THE adop
ton of any system Of improved A.
nances for the farmer. or system OF
cooperative marketing is not ques
ton OF constitution and bylaws. My
European experience led me to be-
lieve stronger than ever that 1t is
a question Of the underlying social
forces Germany is credited with
being the birthplace Of the financial
and cooperative movements which
have meant so much to the European
farmer and peasant. But no European
country has adopted bodily the Ger.
man system; each country has Its
own economic conditions. Even with
modification Of the system 1t Is go
ing to require something more than
legislative enactment to get the peo-
pie to adopt policy Of business for
service and not for profit, or to adopt
a cooperative banking system with
the motto OF Raiffeisen, One for all.
and. all for one Cooperation does
not come through the law; 1t comes
through the spirit In the end. It will
be the American farmer who will give
the country a working, beneficial sys-
TEN OF cooperative rural credit, mar
keting. production or otherwise"
The meat Of this opinion Is summed
up in the sentence Cooperation does
not come through the law; 1T comes
through the spirit" says the Texas
Farm Co-Operator.
Or, in other words, commissions
may investigate and report and rec.
ommend, governors may proclaim. or.
CARNATIONS OF farmers may pass reso
lutions, legislatures and congresses
may pass bills-but, after all, the
origination power for making cooper
alton effective among farmers lies in
the hands OF the farmers themselves
Cooperation is question Of under
lying social forces" as Professor Aus
tin puts 1t in his scholastic language.
That is, II the people Of commun-
ity want to cooperate and have the
determination to do SO. they will find
a way. The way" is incidental to
the determination.

When the first beef Is butchered 1t

ARE FARMERS DISSATISFIED?
Missouri Pesslmist Afraid City Man
viii Soon Refuse to Pay High
Prices for Meat and Eggs.
lpv n q wEATuERsTONE

CBy r. G. wEATHERsTONE)
A Missouri man with characteristic
pessimism opines that the exhorbitant
prices that the farmer is getting for
his grain and live stock will eventually
lead to his destruction.
This sign reader says the products
OF the farm were selling too low for
the producer to make a living a few
years ago. Now, the prices are at the
other extreme and he fears for the
prosperity Of the man Of the soil.
Our Missouri pessimist bases his
gloomy predictions from the inability
Of the city man to eat 40 cent eggs.
35 cent bacon. 45 cent butter and 30
cent beefsteak. He declares that SAL
aries have not increased as rapidly as
the price OF the things he must eat
and he must. therefore reduce his
expenses by cutting down his grocery
bills.
This means that II the price OF meat
keeps up Americans will cease to be
meat eaters. and the Missouri prog.
nosticator declares that no nation hav.
ing once ceased to eat meat has ever
been known to return to the habit
With nobody to eat meat, farmers
will find 1t Improbable to raise 1t.
the packing houses will 20 out OF
business and agriculture will sink into
a state OF decay.
II seems to US that the Missouri
man has overlooked the fact that
even II people do stop eating meat
they must eat something else and as
the farmer is the only man who grows
things to eat, he will turn his atten.
ton to growing the things the city
people want and his destruction will.
therefore. be postponed.
At any rate we do not believe that
the farmers Of this country are losing
much sleep over their present pros.
porous condition but will continue to
produce whatever the people want
whether 1t be meat, fruit or vegetables
and abide by the principle OF the law
OF supply and demand, taking their
chances OF poverty or richness along
with other folks.
