RURAL CREDIT PLAN
MISSES VITAL SPOT.
H. g. Wallace Declares It Fails
to Give Aid to the
Farmer.
BOARD GOES TO SIOUX CITY


Des Moines, Ia, Aug. 2s.-(Special
Telegram )--"Iowa will never be sat-
ished with the proposed rural credit
system as it now stands said H. c.
Wallace when called before the farm
loan board hearing at federal build
ing this afternoon. "The law does
not reach the spot" .....
Iowa will never be satisfied until
the law is amended to give credit to
the man who needs it. By that I
mean the tenant who rents and can
not afford to buy farm. 1t is out OF
the question for a young man with
out considerable capital to buy an
Iowa farm and pay for It at-the pies
ent,time.s Net oae, u,anin. ave cansdo
It, and possibly not one man in ten.s
Give the tenant workin gcapital.
That is Iowa's need. The present
law cannot beenfit people in the corn
and clover belt, only that 1t will
slightly reduce interest"
Mr.. Wallace was accorded closest
attention by four members OF the
board and was asked for suggestions
as to changes or amendments in pres
ent law. ..l I
