G.. +. SNYDER RETURNS
FROM FARMERS CONGRESS

Principal G.. +. Snyder, of the For
Lewis agricultural school, returned
from Fort Collins last night wher,
he attended the farmers short cours,
at the agricultural college and the
Colorado Farmers congress. Botf
programs were filled with a wealth
of interesting and practical features
The first day of the short course
special attention was given to hog
raising, hog judging and hog chol.
era control. The second days lee.
lures were on beef production, beef
judging and tuberculin tests in dairy
and beef cattle. On this day and ths
day previous the consideration Of ir'
rigation problems and the demon.
stration Of irrigation devices had d
part in the program. Wednesday was
day Of great interest to the wool
growers. Sheep farming and sheep
Judging were the subjects of two Of
the most important lectures given
In addition 10 these the topics in
cluded in the lectures were marketing
farm products, crop management for
dry ranches and milk testing.
Thursday special attention was
given to dairying. Home dairying,
judging dairy cows and silo construc-
ton and use were among the lectur $
given.
The Farmers congress was the best
session held in the five years his
tory of the association. The attend
ance totaled 100.
Probably the most important ad-
dress given was by President Gordon
Jones, of the United States National
bank of Denver. His subject was,
Easier Money for the Farmer, and
the National Currency Bill" Mr..
Jones recently returned from Europe
where he served as member of Il
commission from the United States
sent to investigate the cooperative
banks of France, Germany, Denmark
and other foreign countries.
MIR. Jones said the time had come
when the banks must make the farm
ers a lower rate of interest. The
success Of the farmer meant the sue
cess of the banker. If the former
fails, the latter cannot prosper. He
favors the incorporation of small
banks through the rural districts, al
to have a central bank and have 9
part in its control.
The farmers were exceedingly in
terested in Mr. Jones' investigation il
foreign countries and he was called
upon to answer dozens Of questions
regarding it.
Mr.. Snyder believes that the da,
of interest burdened farmers in COLI
RADIO is about at an end.
Among the resolutions adopted
were those asking the Legislature t.
give the state institutions more lib
eral supprot and ones demanding tn
state school land funds be made avail
able for farm loans.
