loan DIRECT TO FARMERS.
Kansas Bankers Help Until Crops Can
BE DISMISSED OF

Kansas bankers, in the banks out
side of the large cities, have loaned 80
per cent of the money which they
have out. direct to farmers, to assist
the farmers in carrying on until they
can dispose of their crops at reason
able price, in the opinion of J. r. Bur-
row, president of the. Central National
bank of Topeka.
Mr.. Burrow wrote a letter to J. c.
Mohler, secretary of the state board
OF agriculture protesting strongly
against the statement of Secretary of
Agriculture Meredith that the bankers.
by refusing to loan money to farmers,
were forcing them tp sell their prod
ucts at less than the cost of produce
ton.
"The plain statement Of Mr. More
dith to the effect that the bankers
were discriminating against the farm
ers is misleading so far as Kansas is
concerned" Mr.. Burrows letter stated
',Phe bankers of Kansas almost with :
cut exception are doing their best to
help the farmeTS'
Mr.. Bufrow Believes that It would
be a very unfortunate thing for bust
ness generally if the farmers were not
protected. One of the least desirable
things which could happen would be a
severe reduction in the prices of farm
products ahead of the general drop in
prices Such a reduction would be
more disastrous than all the prefiteer-
ing which has been practieed in the
past Mr. Burrow believes.
