Helping the Farmer

Bernard Baruch late chairman of the war industries
board student of economics who has international
recognition has outlined remedies designed aeorae the
condition Of farmers at the request of the Kansas state
board Of agriculture Briefly, they
L. Creation of adequate modern storage facilities under
public supervision
Certfcation of farm products as to grade and amount
by licensed graders and weghers
Use of certificates issued by the graders and weghers
the basis of sales and purchases well the basis of
financing
A. Reservation Of fair share Of the credits of the bank
and financial institutions during certain period for crop
movement.
Collection and distribution to farmers of all market in
formation through trained experts by the agricultural de-
parment This information to be of the kind and character
in the possession of buyers and of farmers
products.
b. Creation OF new of credit for the farmer
namely the private investor by establishment of financing
to make loans warehouse receipts.
Whatever benefits the farmer benefits indirectly the
consumer The farmer at the present time finds his crop
partially cut off from it's normal market and trade routes
limited He is unable to finance himself unless he willing
sell products below production cost In this predicamen
he becomes easy prey for the specuator who deliberately
forces prices down until crop control secured and then
raises to the producer.
Baruchs suggestions wise the key of the situation
being sufficient storage warehouses and elevators at con-
venent points to the peak load in distribution If
private capital lacking for construction the warehouses
should be built by the district state but in either case
should be under state federal supervision for grading and
the basis Of sale The crops thus stored be-
come collateral for loans
With some such constructive program together with the
Kenyon bill to destroy grain gambling in futures, and the
benefits OF cooperative marketing associations most of he
disadvantages of the farmer will be eliminated and the
producer placed in position to market advanageously

Paddy's Little Joke

The gristmill where Farmer
Green had his wheat ground into
flour stood nsar a mill-pond.
Now, Farmer Gresn always sup
posed that the pond was there so
that the miller would have water
to turn his mill But Paddy Mus
krat thought that the pond had
been put there in order to give
him and his neighbors a pleasant
place in which to live.
His house was dug out of the
bank of the pond. But you migi
have walked right over it without
knowing it was there. Paddy
reached it through a long tunnel,
the door of which was hidden by
the water. And there he lived
with his wife. They liked their
home. And so long as Paddy did
as his wife wanted hi INTO do,
they were quite happy and never
had quarrel
Sometimes Paddy Muskart stay
ed away from home more than
Mrs Paddy liked. You see. he
was very fond of swimming, In
fact that was why he was called
Paddy, because he had begun to
paddle in the water when he was
so young that he was hardly more
than a little. round ball.
To be sure, Mrs. Paddy was
fine swimmer herself. But she
used to say that her husband
ought to have been a fish, for he
never seemed to get enough swim
ming to satisfy him, He had
Hay, in summer, of spending
good deal of time right where
big willow flung its shadow upon
he water And he might have
oeen seen there often, swimming
'ound and round in a circle and
rying to catch his tail.
Mrs. Paddy used to tell him that
le was too old for sHch foolish
ess. But it was a game he liked. I
md he never grew tired Of 1t. !

The Greek Plebiscite

The pebscte in Greece having resulted in an almost un-
animcus vote for Constantine the allied nations will probably
let seldetemnaton have its way and permit the kaser
brothernaw to reascend the throne, desired by the
Greeks.
The mistake the Allied nations made in interfering the
affairs of other nations exampfed in Russia should
be repeated in Greece it likely to be for the Allies have
learned their lesson But the result of the restoration will
probably be the withdrawal of financial assistance by Great
Britain and France
In all probability Greece will be left to shift for herself
and hold the territorial acquisitions secured by Venzeos and
Allied cooperation best she 1t be expected
that the Allied nations will show any great enthusiasm over
the return of who did all in his power to accom-
psh their defeat the great war; nor the Greeks e
pect future favors from those who they desert
