Buyino on Credit.

European credit is now at the great
est discount ever known in this coun-
try. A cash credit of four dollars and
eighty-seven cents in London is worth
only four dollars and seventy-eight
cents in New York. and by paying
down the equivalent of five francs and
seventeen centimes in New York you
can get a cash credit of five francs
and forty-three centimes in Paris
though a foreign-exchange expert, ac-
customed to figure with the point of
fine needle. would shudder at these
rough approximations.
Berlin exchange is nearer par, be-
cause Germany is buying little from
US; but London and Paris are deeply
in debt to us on current account. be-
cause England and France are buying
great quantities OF American goods.
though selling us comparatively little.
Actually they cannot pay the bill.
We must sell them the goods on
credit in one form or another.
The four dollars and eighty-seven
cents and the five francs and forty
three centimes are cash in London
and Paris. available at par TO meet
any sort OF obligation. to buy any sort
OF goods. or-in London at least-im-
mediately convertible into gold. You
could pay four hundred and sepenty-
eight dollars in New York for a piece
of paper. mail il to London. have il
changed into four hundred and eighty
seven dollars in gold and the gold sent
back to New York. On a large scale
the operation would yield a handsome
profit. Yet nobody is doing it. be-
cause the comparatively few persons
who are in a position TO carry out
such transactions on a large scale
realize that to drain London of gold
would cause disorders there that
would react on us.
II is essentially Just the situation
that country merchant faces when
a farmer who is a good customer and
solvent cannot. for the time being.
pay hts bill The merchant may sue
him and attach his horse: but, as he
believes the farmer is good" the best
policy is to extend the credit-Satur-

BEET SUGAR MEN
DISCUSS SEED SUPPLY

The problem of finding sufficient
sugar beet seed to supply the United
States was taken up at the annual
convention of the United States Beet
Sugar association in the Brown hotel,
Denver, Tuesday afternoon. Managers
and executive officers Of nearly all
large beet sugar concerns of the Un-
tied States were assembled there to
work out the solution that has been
forced upon them because of the war
in Europe. America has obtained the
greater part OF its beet seed from
Germany.
According to Truman G. Palmer of
Chicago, secretary of the association.
this country is not suited to the grow
ing Of that seed and the only hope of
a supply is Russia. from which place
II is hoped that shipments can be
made, although no arrangements have
as yet been made to get 1t from there.
Mr.. Palmer stated that man expert
ments have been made in different
parts OF this country to produce that
seed, but all have proved almost total
failures. Germany. up to the time the
war broke out, was one of the largest
producers and exporters of the seed.
but since all exports from Germany
have been cut off. the supply of beet
sugar seed is curtailed.
In a report of investigations recent
ly made in Cuba relative to the sugar
industry Of that island. Secretary Pal
mer stated that Cuba is alone capable
of producing enough sugar to supply
the entire world and recommended
tina, sfenn be made to promote and in
creasc<ite production OF that commod-
fly on a greater scale.
Cuba has a population OF more than
100000 people" said Secretary Pal
mer. yet only a small portion of the
country is under scientific cultivation.
Comparatively few OF its inhabitants
occupy themselves with any line OF
work and II is question whether
sufficient labor could be had 10 pro
duce the maximum amount from the
island.

concerned. could see no reason why
Cuba should not become one of the

duct and very few disadvantages. II

Marking up the value Of the same

Lo.nins Money to the Farmers.

While congress has backed up on
the rural credit proposition and the
president has stuffed II In his per-
plexities over militant matters. It may
be that the legislatures OF the various
states will have to take up this great
question and solve II for themselves.
Two or three states have already done
this and the Wisconsin plan seems to
be working all right. The Wisconsin
act authorizes the incorporation of
credit associations for loaning money
to farmers on longtime mortgage
credit. Such companies may be form
ed by not fewer than fifteen adult
freeholders OF the state. The capital

Wealth of the Nation.

A recent census report puts national
wealth In 1912 at hundred and eighty

paper. then. the accretion OF national
wealth in eight years amounted to
eighty billion dollars, or almost as
much as the total accumulation OF
wealth from the settlement OF the
country up to 1900. To put It in an
other way, national wealth accumu-
lated in the last eight years at the
rate OF ten billion dollars a year.
whereas from 1890 to 1900 1t accumu-
lated at the rate of only two and a
third billion dollars n year.

standing bonds are twenty times the
capital and surplus. Among other
provisions all mortgages on agricul-
tural lands shall contain provisions
for soil conservation and for the
semi-annual or annual reduction of
the principal. The payments are on
the amortization plan, and are not
less than one per cent of the original
amount per annum in addition to the
interest
The association is to conduct the
business out Of an income not to ex-
ceed one per cent interest payments
on loans However the importance
of this restriction is greatly lessened
by the fact that no provision Of the
law prevents the charging Of interest
rates higher than that received on the
bonds plus one per cent for expenses.
The first purposes of these associa-
tions is to give greater currency to
funds available for farm loans. Much
money is seeking investment and is
wanted on land mortgage security.
1t is the expectation that the bonds
issued by these associations will find
sale in the more populous and wealthy
centers and thus furnish money for
places where it is needed.
The bonds have several advantages
over mortgages as marketable securi-
ties The denominations of the bonds
is as convenient as possible and the
purchaser may buy any number of
hundred dollar bonds he wants. Mort
cages of course may be large or small
but they are not on hand in limitless
pose of them about as they come in.
Hence the amount taken by a given
purchaser must be made up from the
miscellaneous denominations avail
able at a given time. A large COM
pany has less trouble with details
of this kind than has a small outfit
Another advantage of the bonds over
the mortgages as salable securities is
the fact that they run for longer per
iods OF time The fact that they are
not payable at frequently recurring
times does not render them undesir-
able even to the person who may want
the money before the bonds mature,
since. assuming that they become de-
sirable they can be resold at any time.
The bonds will be more desirable as
investments because they are backed
by a company of stability. thus elm
mating the danger involved in pur-
chasing a mortgage that the mort
gagor may prove to be slow in paying
and unbusinesslike. The California
people are going to vote on this prop
osition in the fall, and had our legis-
lature done its duty We might have
had the scheme working by this time.
