 State Banks.
FARMER IS NOT AIDED

Washington, Aug. 24.-Charging tha more than $10O,0OO deposited by the federal government last year with the banks of Oklahoma, ostensibly to aid the producers in moving their crops, was applied to a big land speculation, little of the money reach- ing the cotton growers, H. s. Mobley. president of the Arkansas Farmers union, created sensation this morn ing in the conference of government officials with representatives Of the producers, financiers and manufactur- CTS of cotton.
 MT. Mobley then called upon State Treasurer Rolfe of Arkansas. who was present, to substantiate his dec laration that cotton producers of that vicinity received but small benefit from the government deposit of funds for the crop movement.
 William G. McAdoo, secretary of the treasury, called upon MT. Mobley for the name of the Oklahoma bank involved in the alleged land specula- tion with crop moving funds. Mir, Mobley promised to identify this in- stitution and to substantiate his charge.
 State Banks Nearest Farmers. MT. Mobley, following the introduc- tory remarks of Secretary McAdoo. was first to address the conference and he pleaded for government aid in the present cotton crisis that will reach the producer and not be divert ed to the advantage of spectators and interests capable of self-protec- ton.
 He proposed that the government fix the value of cotton bonds and the average price of middling over per l iod of five years and declare this 3 basis for bank loans of emergency

The pro- ducers can be benefited. he urged, on- ly through the state banks with cot ton as acceptable collateral under satisfactory regulation.
 "Acceptaance of warehouse receipts to make cotton collateral for loans. would bar the greater part of the cot ton produced from being collateral for loans," he asserted, "because the South is not at this time provided with dependable warehouses.

It is in their in terest II plead for consideration of their special needs. &. 5 q ask for the acceptance of prop erly safeguarded warehouse receipts, as proposed by the secretary of the treasury as collateral for loans and the extension of the privilege of emergency currency to state banks that are found solvent under tine same conditions as to national banks so that they may discount cotton for the farmer at a reasonable interest"
 Arkansas We'll Represented.
 Secretary McAdoo presided over the conference, which was attended by 300 representatives of producing, fi- nancing and manufacturing cotton in- terests, from enarly every state in the union. Secretary Houston of the az, ricultural department, Postmaster General Burleson and all members of the federal reserve board were pres ent.
