RURAL CREDIT
is PROMISED
President Wilson States
His Intentions Toward
the Farmers.

There will be much interest
among the farmefB every where
in an interview recently given
out bv President Woodrow Will
son, in which he declared EN-
phatically in favor of "a COM
plete and adequate system of ru-
raj credits " This subject is SO
prominently in the public mind
at the present time that any
thing relHting TO it attracts in-
stant attention. In the inter
view this statement of President
Wilson's position is given, which
the farmers of tie country Will
read very carefully and earnestly
hope that actual performance
will be the result of present
promises:
There has been too little fed
eral legislation framed to serve
the farmer directly and with a
deliberate adjustment to his real
needs. We long ago fell into the
habit of assuming that the farm
ers of America enjoyed such an
immense natural advantage over
the farmers OF the rest OF the
world; were SO intelligent and
enterprising and so at ease upon
the incompatible soils OF our
great continent, that they could
feed the world and prosper, no
matter what handicap they car
ried. We have not exaggerated
their capacity or their oppor-
tunIty, but we have neglected TO
analyxe the burdensome disad-
vantages from which they we're
suffering.
Zone of the chief and most
serious of these disadvantages
has been that the farmer has not
been able to secure the extended
bank accommodations he every
year stands in need of without
paying the most burdensome
rates of interest and saddling
himself with mortgages and OBJ
legations of every kind which be
fairly staggered under, if he
could carry them at all. In
other countries systems of rural
credit have been put into opera
ton which have not only relieved
the farmer but have put his en-.
terprises upon a footing of easy
Accomplishment. Our farmers
must have similar means afford.
ed them. They must be fur
nished these facilities before their
enterprises languish, not after
ward. And they will be-
