FARMERS'-BANKERY BUSINESS
CONFERENCE AT WATERLOO,
NOVEMBER 10TH.

Farmers Bankers conferences are
being held in different parts of the
state, at Waterloo, November 18th. The
officers of the Bankers Association
have realized for some time the un-
precendented tightness of money and
made an unusual demand on capital,
affecting every line Of business but
brought most telling effect upon
Iowa's chief business that of farm
ing and marketing her products.
The farmer has never passed thru
time when credit was more restrict
ed than it has been. There are many
problem, those Of the farmer as a
livestock feeder and shipper, wool
growers and others that may be dis

cost. Quotations on corn are hardly
up to fifty per cent below cost. This
means ruin to many an industrious
family.
It was to be expected that there
should be a settling back of prices
to a more stable basis but price mani
pulation by oyer-selling the market
thru pure gamblin practices is not
looked upon by the farmer as good
business policy. Dat should not sell
below Coo and corn below $1.00. These
prices would mean loss to the pro-
Queer but the farmer is not adverse
to accepting a fair share Of the loss
to get finance md condition back to
normal.
Some say the supply and demand
are responsible for the present con-
dition. For the week ending October
23rd Chicago hay receipts were 10000
against 100000 the previous week and
155, 900 a year ago. Yet the decline
in hogs was $2.65 cwt. This indicates
that the big packers are In a position
to make prices.
Can't Be Worse.
We are urging this section with
ont due recognition Of the many OBJ
stacles that tend to upset the plan.
We are certain that the banks Of
Iowa do not have the funds to enable
them to hold their grain. We believe,
however. that there will be something
humanely possible to help their farm
er customers.
We ask every landlord to extend
time of rental payments to enable
the renter to hold his crop. We ask
every land owner to hold his crop
and urge every one to refrain from
purchasing but absolute necessities.
With everyone doing his or her part
this temporary period OF demoraliza-
ton will recover itself.
This country is solvent and there
is no need of any class or clique
endeavoring to force financial ruin on
the producer Of the necessities Of life
simply because unsettled conditions
give them the opportunity.
We do not mean to hold food from
the people, merely to save the farmer
from financial ruin, until the country
needs his produce, (Which 1t does not
want at presently will enable the pro-
Queer as well as the consumer to live.
After all, there is no evidence that
the consumer has profiteered upon
the billions the farmers have lost.
We are confronted by influx Of
wheat from Canada for which they
can get thirty cent more than at home.
I repeat the experience of citizen
from Iowa coming from Canada and
DESTROYS Of bringing an automobile
over the boundary, was informed the
duty was thirty per cent of the cost
which was $1500.00. In order to pro-
tect American Auto Mfg. this man
must pay $3.50 to bring used car in
to the states while all the wheat can
be brought in from Canada in direct
competition with the American Farm
ers. Is there any sense Of justice in
this arrangement?
We are young as an organization
but there are many places in the
economics of finance and industry that
are detrimental to farmers that we
shall attempt to make this Govern
ment and the financial and industrial
interests recognize.

LARGE CROWD AT TRACTOR DEM.
ONSTRATION.

ONSTRATlON.
The tractor demonstration scheduled
for Friday afternoon was postponed
until Saturday afternoon on account
of the rain. There was nice crowd
out, tractors all there, ground laid out
and everything in readiness, but due
to the sudden shower the crowd was
compelled to leave. 1t was called off
and completed Saturday which proved
to be very successful: There were as
many people out, or, more, than the
day before, and much interest shown.
It was really interesting to see how
these machines turned over the dirt.
They all made good showing and
were very close on the work done,
time and cost.
The judges were, J. 8. Jones, Walter
Hitler and e. w. Cook. and these men
took plenty of time and close consi-
deration before making their decision.
They judged on straightness Of furrow,
covering of trash, turning of furrow
and finishing up land. All work done
six inches deep.
We give here the judges grades on
the work done, time and cost per acre,
kind Of fuel and number OF plows
drawn. One of the tractors had little
hard luck, taking it longer to finish
which might happen in any demo1stra-
ton, and should not go against the
tractor altogether.

Keep Stuff at Home!" is Cunning
hams plea.
Corn and Oats do not. get half of
their cost. Food gamblers create situa-
ton to ruin nations farmer.
Smashing the hog market during the
week or SO has occupied the attention
of the market manipulators. A Chi
cago paper came out with the state
ment from a big packer saying that
the hog market had to come down with
the price OF corn. II this packer has
been correctly reported, and the break
In the market indicates he was, it
would indicate that the price mani
pulation is wholly In the hands Of the
gamblers and that they have decided
that the farmers corn and oats shall
remain at the present day ruinous
price. Everyone knows that he is not
getting near cost Of production for his
products.
Ruin for Tenant.
The heavy break in prices will spell
financial ruin to the tenant farmer
and half OF the farmers in Iowa are
tenants. You can see the serious re-
suits that will follow.
Another class Of farmer, known as
farm owners, are in worse financial
straits than the renter. They have
made small initial payment, assumed
heavy obligations to be met by the re-
turns from the land. He is in worse
shape than the renter.
Others Hit.
Another class of farm owners are
spectators who have purchased on
the small payment down, hoping to
unload at profit, but are without a
buyer due to the tightening OF money
stopping land transactions. We are
so much concerned as they who took
a gamblers chance and will probably
survive II they lose on their venture.
The independent land owner has no
cause for worry, and is most indiffer-s
ent to the whole situation.
Prices Below Cost.
Actual figures secured by the Fed
Grafton for 1920 crop show the cost
OF production for producing wheat

FARM BUREAU PLANS WORK FOR
1921.

The meeting OF the Farm Bureau
officers co-operators and their wives
Tuesday, October 26th, was we'll at
tended. This meeting represented
some Of the best and far sighted
farmers in the county and the read
ines in which both men and
women made suggestions for the plan
OF work to be taken up in their town
ship the coming year showed how
much in earnest they were as to the
county and country in general. They
are not going to forget, but see to II
that these things go through.
All the sixteen townships were rep
resented except Richland. A plan was
laid out for each township by the
members present on the things they
want done in their community. Some
of the things that are wanted are
soil tests, better roads, orchard prun-
ing and spraying, club work. poultry
culling, social centers, better market
ing, testing for tuberculosis, elimina-
ton of weeds and insects, hot lun-
ches in school, soy beans and alfalfa
This gives us something to work to-
ward and these things will be worked
out in the townships wanting them
1t is necessary to work in commune
ties and townships because different
parts of the county are more in need
OF a particular thing. BY forming
spraying rings or soil experiments
in groups we can accomplish so much
more. This is a heavy program. and
every member will have to help out,
and make his wants known. Don't
wait to be asked what ought to be
done, for this is no one man or few
men organization. This is for every
one.
