FRIDAY, May 2, 1913.

Every state in the Union is sending
delegates, two in number. to the confer
ence which will be held in Rome, for
the discussion of matters relating to farm
advancement through the extension Of
credits to farmers for land purchases and
equipment, by which on small interest,
giving every security, they may increase
their farm activities. The system Of
rural farm credits, as followed in the
European countries. is more like the benz
efcial results of our building and loan
associations than anything to which It
can reasonably be compared, enabling
the farmer to purchase or equip farms
where today he is wholly unable Fol
loving the conference the delegates will
visit those countries where these farm
credits have been extended.
