Senator Smiths address III full is as

NO nation ever went backward while

ing forward. The prosperity OF the
farm does not concern the farmer alone.
when the farmer prospers those en-
gagged in every other occupation prosper.
That the work of the farmer should be
successful and bring to him plenty and
happiness Is. therefore. of prime i'm
portance TO the entire country.
President washington fully realized
this truth. and declared that the profit
able cultivation OF the soil was a ma
ti0naI problem. and should be stimu-
lated BY national direction and assist
auce Nevertheless. il has remained for
legislators only in recent times to meet
The national responsibility and through
national legislation TO really act upon
the problems Of the farm.
About fifty years ago the Morrill, act,

LEGISLATION Met Needs of Farmers

banks, and loans of this character have
Decreased substantially since the adop
tics # the act. When the great stable
crops come upon the market the very
richness of their value at times de-
presses their market price, for they
may be more in quantity than the mar
ket is prepared normally to absorb
Under our new reserve bank system
ample funds can be secured at reason
able rates to carry staple crops and tC
prevent their forced sales. Thus the
farmers credit is broadened when he
becomes a merchant and facilities are
afforded to enable him to obtain from
his crop a legitimate return.
"In this connection ] call your atten-
tion to the act passed at the last
session of congress providing for the
establishment of licensed government
warehouses to facilitate the storage OF
form products and to better the market
facilities of the farmer.
THE grain grading act and the cotton
grading act have been passed to aid the
farmer in standardizing the value OF
his crops and to further facilitate the
sale by the farmer of the products OF
the soil at their real value.
81 come now to the federal farm loan
act. You will hear with reference tC
this measure from Congressman Moss
who has devoted a great amount of time
to it. / have been deeply interested
in it. though not so exclusively as he
1t is estimated that mortgages to the
amount OF four billions of dollars
are carried by our farmers.

at is proposed by this measure tc
facilitate long time loans at low rates
of interest with amortization features
that the farmer at a reasonable cost
may pay for the use of money which
he borrows to buy or improve his land
paying off the principal as we'll as the
interest annually.
"I have no doubt this measure will
greatly reduce the cost to the farmer
of the loans he now carries and of loans
that il may be necessary for him to
carry in the future. 1t will facilitate
the improvement of the farms of the
country, 1t will aid the tenant farmer
to acquire and own his own land. II
will overcome the difficulties which
have depressed in the market the value
of the farmers paper when secured by
a mortgage on his land.
81 have given you briefly a history
of some of the recent federal legisla-
tion which especially concerns the
farmer May 1 not justly claim that
your representatives in congress have
at last taken steps to broaden the OPP
portunity of the farmer, to give him
a better chance to succeed, and have
put into some practical form the views
of our first president, than whom there
has never been a greater, when he de-
clared that the profitable cultivation OF
the soil was a national problem, and
should receive national direction and
assistance"
