Prosperity Cannot Be Decreed

Assistant Secretary OF Agriculture.

One Of the important problems in agriculture
which should speedily be worked out is the
question of personal credit. a thorough in :
Nestgation VIII show that farmers class
hettei than any other class OF purchasers.
Yet, as rule. farmers pay higher rate Of
interest for operating credit. and have greater
difficulty In obtaining credit than merchants
or others This is due in part to the fact that
the farmer perhaps does not pay promptly
because his ability to pay depends upon both
the seasons and the markets.
The average farmer pays in the long run, he
rarely ever takes advantage Of the bankruptcy
laws, but 1t is promptness in paying well az
and cheap credit.
To the end OF both marketing and credit
the necessary agency of success or relief is
cooperation We have spent great dea! OF

in securing eeisiation permitting co-opera ton
done both by the Federal government and the
state governments, hut after all the way TO
cooperate is tn cooperate.
However complete and perfect the statutes OF
accommodation may be. there can be- no etec-
tive cooperation unless farmers work together
in the spirit of cooperation The best way 10
develop that spirit is to make beginnings in
small groups for simple transactions.
There Is scarcely peighborh>od In the
United States in which there abundant

The Whispering Leaves.

The Whispering leaves have told me
That time is like a wind that blows
And withers beauty with kiss,
And strews the petals OF the rose.
The whispering leaves are very young
But they have talked with rocks and
trees
And all the friends they live among
Are shrewd and ancient friends lika
these.
So I'll remember what they saw.
And now and then on summer evas
When am tired I'll steal away
And listen to the whispering leaves.
