On the subject OF rural credits and
the progress that has been made in
the financing OF farms, he says:
THE recent three-day rural credit
conference held at the national CAPT

couraging sign OF the hold that this
great subject is beginning to take on
those most vitality interested, viz: the
American farmers. AS long as better
facilities for farm credit were only oc-
cupying the minds OF theorists and
politicians the achievement Of the OBJ
Ject aimed at was problematical, but
now that the great farm organiZa-
tions are beginning To consider the
subject seriously, success is bound To
come. The conference was attended
by members of the Farmers Union
as well as the grange, by editors of
the great farm periodicals and by
public and private men who have

and he has served four years longer.
Neither has Commissioner Straight OF
Montcalm any opposition and he has
served twice as long. Many OF the
Commissioners OF Schools OF the state
have served a longer time.
The first two years OF service for a
new person in the office would amount
TO very little for the benefit OF the
schools. because knowing the individ-
uai worth OF each teacher and the
particular conditions OF each district
counts for 80 much in effective super
vision.
The most important work connected
with the office is the supervisory work
among the schools. knowing how TO
make daily programs under various
conditions, courses OF study for in
dividuai schools, adjusting mistakes
in a tactful way where pupils are
pursuing the wrong work, etc.
No office in the gift OF the people is
OF more importance for the welfare OF
the citizens OF the county. Ii needs
a person especially fitted for the work
and one who has a natural aptitude
for the particular duties OF the office.
We have just that kind OF person
holding the office now The people OF
this county have the welfare Of the
schools at heart and they are not GO

the qualifications of other candidates

products are fed. building OF silos,
draining his sour lands. paying for

The money required TO buy seeds
and fertilizers comes back to the farm
er after his crops are harvested and
sold; that Is. within a year; and the
money invested for instance. in the
purchase OF cows and the raising OF
calves In two or three years. Sixty
or ninety day credit Is worth little TO
the average farmer. because his credit
will not reproduce itself in such short
periods OF time. Again. the credit de-
mands Of the average farmer, espec-
tally the tenant farmer. are so small in
amount that they are attractive TO the
commercial banks. Hence the high
interest rates which now prevail for
productive farm credit. While such
demands are small In amount, taken
individually. yet when taken In the ag-
gregate they amount TO billions an
nually.
Owing to the conditions surround
ing it, agriculture in America has re-
named aloof from, or has resisted the
universal influences which have sway
scattered In the country; by nature
they are more independent and indi-
vidualistic than jewellers In the cities
but above all, their long hours of la
Dor and the conservative ideas inner
ent in the ownership of land, have
prevented them from realizing the inn
portance and advantages of carrying
on their calling in more business like

"Sir Thomas Plunkett, one OF the
leaders Of the movement in Great Brit
ian, and more particularly in Ireland.
for the betterment OF agricultural, has
pointed out that England has fostered
her industries and commerce to the
detriment OF her agriculture, and as
result her cities have drawn unduiy
from the country. developing enor-
mously, while the country has stood
still. In America, the same thing has
been taking place; aggravated further
by the fact that American farmers
have been damaging the land through
urskilful farming. whereas in England
the farming is better than in the Unit
ed States. On the Continent OF Eur
ope on the other hand. the interests OF
agriculture have been placed In the
foreground. In Germany, for exam
pie. from poorer | nd on an average
than our own, more than twice as
much wheat per acre Is grown than in
this country.
The Germans use no secret process
in doing this. The way is open TO all,
but IL means more fertilizer better
seed and more diligent GUILTY alton. In
other words, more money must be put
~, ana more " orktng capital
must be used, or it is hopeless to ex-

capital is necessary, then the farmer
must become a business man, learning
to what extent it is safe for him TO
borrow, and on what conditions the

loans must be made so as TO bring
