The bankers of Texas should assist
the coming Of rural credits. and they
would ii they understood the princi-
pies and results, Let mr state first what
credits do not mean. They 10 not mean
credit without security. nor for the
purchase Of foods. clothing and the
like. They do mean credit on security
FOR Snch term as agriculture requires
for productive purposes only. Rural
credit will institute the first system Of
credit Tor greater production. South
ern farmers could not learn to prop
crly employ credit because they have
never had a system 10 employ. Our far
mcrs are not given credit, they are
merely grubstaked while they grow,
gather and market cotton.
AT first the banks of Europe fought
rural credits. But now they approve
them. They told me that rural credits
have tapped an entirely new source
of deposits. yielding In Germany alone
over one billion dollars. Rural credits
do not affect commercial interest rates.
The effect of rural credits il Ia in
crease the agricultural output. In Sax.
ony rural credits have increased the
average farm net yield per acre from
$500 10 $500 Suppose we should dou-

credits enables the farmer 10 borrow
money on long time Ia buy 4 home. and
on five years time to drain terrace
and improve his farm on three years

for the purchase of u seeds and
feed. all Of which are usually bought

The result is farmers improve their
farms. provide needed farm animals
and machinery and use more

FOWLER FURNISHES FUN.

There is always fun when Fowler
of Illinois gets the floor in the house
for a speech. Members from most
any state are likely to bait" him in
order to draw out the fiery backwoods
oratory which he usually unloads, but
he is apparently the only one who does
not realize that they are only having
fun with him. He is always In dead
earnest and apparently suffers mental
divergent strabismus where Joke is
yisualized by every one else.
Fowler was making a speech the
other day in favor of the free distribu-
ton of farm and garden seeds, a
speech obviously for home consump-
ton" In the Twenty-fourth Illinois dis
trict. Il am exceedingly glad to know

rupted to inquire If Fowler would
