@. E. Prater, Jr., Delegate
toImportant Conference
of "Markets and Farm
Credits, Gives Compre-
hensive Report,

So many of my friends ha' o inquired
what the Conference of Markets and
Farm Credits attempted TO do aud why
it was so called, that am prompted TO
give short sketch covering the more
important features. In short, this was
the third annual conference and each
State was supposed to have a represent
ative of each special rural interest there
IL. 1t was my pleasure and duty to ire
present the horticultural and Associated
Marketing interests of Michigan.
Its object Is co devise means whereby
the actual grower and consumer may be
brought closer together and eliminate
the apparent unnecessary waste that Is
prevalent under present methods of mar
keting.
From every point of the globe We hear
the cry of hard times and the high cost
ofllviug, while as matter of fact and
record the actual producer is now max.
ing less chan three and one half per cent
on his investment after allowing hin a
wage much under the average wage OF
the average city employee.
AS near as can he computed the actual
producer only receives trlhe over forty
eight per cent of the price paid by the
ultimate consumer under present con-
ditions and the Government fully
realizes that this difference is mainly
made up of three items, transportation
legitimate profit, speculative profit.
The cost Of transportation may be ma
terially lessened by means OF marketing
whereby the producers products 60. di
rectly to various consuming centers, in
stead of passing the larger distributing
centers whereby extra shipments, or re
shipments are necessitated together witt
material handling profit by the dis trib
utor.
The margin now necessary to consti
tute a legitimate profit would be greatly
lessened by federal law fully standard
izing grades, weights and measures of eact
of the several products to be marketed
IN the United States or offered for ex
port to foreign countries, this same Law
to apply To Interstate movements anC
intra state movements alike, thereby es
tablishlng confidence and dependabilit,
under Government inspection both t
the shipper ard buyer. Under preseu
conditions the element of risk is so grea
that an abnormal margin must be de
manded or the operator is soon out o
business The expense of adjustment 0
differences and RESALE of rel cted good
is so great that compared with the ex
pense of official inspection ut point o
loading, the money saving woulo make
heavy aggregate, to say nothing of th
business gained by the depeOjab bilit,
thus assured and the benefits to be de
rived from better farming methods made

EFFORT MADE TO BRING GROWER
AND CONSUMER CLOSER TOGETHER
would grade sufficiently high to warrar

would grade sufficiently high to warrant
a profit 10 the producer.
Speculative profits would be greatly
lessened by dependable and available
system OF rural credits. This in some
sections is overcome by credit associa-
tions, at present mainly operating in
grains and other storable articles which
Of themselves become general securities
to bonds which are hoated around by
these ass sociations at very nominal rate
of interest occasioned by the absolute
security of the bonds and the certainty
of their being paid promptly at maturity
This enables rentsrs and farmers who
are sh ort of funds at tax time or when
interest or payments are due on property,
to obtain sufficient funds 10 meet re-
quirements Of present needs, still hold
ing their products past the speculative
period when operators are taking advant-
age of the farmers immediate need OF
money ahd forcing an abnormally low
price. This is also caused by the farm
ers immediate need OF funds placing so
much of given product on the mar
ket in a short time that the natural
law Of supply and demand becomes at.an
unbalanced ratio and the mao who has
money to carry the product till time
of lower supplies has an open field OF
almost certain abnormal profit.
Credit Associations IN other lines
where the nature OF the product is such
that it cannot be used as security oD the
bonds are being established and man
are now in operation and reporting very
satisfactory results, where by the indi-
vidual real estate holdings of the several
members Of the association are bonded
to the corporation in security Of the cor
poration bond.
Usually under this method the individ-
ual bond is given for a sum not exceed
| ing 50% Of the unincumbered cash valu.
alton of the property it covers. to the
earning record Of the property and its
ability of relieving said bond is seriously
taken into consideration and many times
a much lower bonding value is given.
The owner OF this property may at any
time secure a corporation hond for the
amount Of his individual bond for such
a length Of time as bis needs may require
and thus with the backing of the abso-
lutte security of the corporation bond
obtain the needed money at very nom.

he has to pay under present conditions.

Governmental Control of Market.
and Credits.
During the meeting there was much
information given and much disc ussior
along the topic of governmental control
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1915-12-10

of product who uses a closed package
or one that does not plainly display to
view its contents, and such package con-
tains a lower quality covered from view
with an apparent view of deceivng not
only the Inspector but the buyer.
This system assures ia udicious distri
button with no over or under supplied
markets, absolute dependabiity in the
product and perfect safety in sale and
collection. Under this system it has
been demonstrated that the producer
receives nearly 6O% Of the ultimate price
paid by the consumer
The System of Rural Credits
Is worked ouL 10 much the same way.
Each farm is valued at cash valuation
based largely on its earning capacity !;
each township is grouped by itself and
an authorized bonding value placed on 1t
as whole; this township is bonded for
this amount TO the official county credit
agent. Hhe county is bonded for the
aggregate amount of its several town
ships TO the state bureau of farm credits.
Thus the state becomes secured a0d re-

! bond secured by an individual farmer
to the amount Of not over 80 of the
unincumbered cash valuation of his
holdings and the buyer of said bond
not only has the Individual security of
the particular farm on which his bond
is given, but has the additional security
of the guarantee OF said bond by the
state in which it is located.
There is no foreclosure necessary un
der this arrangement. Where default is
made in payment of bond The property
is sold by the state, the bond satisfied
at its face without procedure expense
and the owner OF the equity paid what
ever the property brings over and above
the obligation. In redemption he has
that any other citizen has. He must
merely remember that he must keep his
Indebtedness below the so Z mark or ask
his personal friends to assist him in a.
nancing his operations.
Gao it be wondered at, that with this
security German individual farm bonds
have preference over railroad or mu-
oOuuc, duu Luo c/2 hbo -
farm bonds sell at premium
Under present conditions our farmer

given and there is no wonder that we

boys to the cities who now realize that
some better conditions must be made
for the farmer il 10 the next generation
we have contente3, God loving people
to supply the eats.
This sketch is given from memory as
nearly correct as it Is possible for me to
convey the general statement OF this
most important meeting. | believe
every statement TO be correct as given
at the meeting and hope our reader:
will leave no stone unturned in thei
efforts to further this interest which II

economic problems that present coud,.
