SUGGEST PLANS TO
RELIEVE FARMERS
Cooperation Of Bankers and
BIG Warehouses Urged by
Convention Speakers.

INDIANAPOLIS. Dec. s.-Concrete
suggestions for relief OF farmers from
lack of credit and depressed markets
IN the future were offered before the
annual convention OF American Farm
Bureau Federation by Gov. W. p. q.
Harding. OF the Federal Reserve
Board, and Asbury Lever. of the
Federal Farm Loan Board.
Governor Harding advocated CO.
operation among the farmers, mer-
chants and bankers by which farmers
obligations might mature over a per-
iod from October TO March. instead
OF at harvest time, which farmers
have claimed forced them to throw
their products on the market and
thus depress prices. Harding said
the extension OF maturity time would
permit "A gradual and orderly method
OF marketing. He added that no
banking system could provide FUNDS
to Withhold all staple crops from the
market without causing financial dis
aster.
Mr.. Lever suggested the establish
ment of warehouses throughout the
country of sufficient capacity to per-
NIT even distribution of farm pro-
ducts during the entire year as a
permanent safeguard against Dig de-
clines in prices. His plan included
sale by the Government of certih-
Gates issued against the warehouse
receipts. which he said would give
ready money to the farm producers.
Mr.. Lever also suggested the forma-
ton of foreign trade corporations,
under the Edge act, as Keller Tor
the farmers in their present financial
situation.
Among the delegates and visitors
to the convention are DR.. Thomas Il.
Symons, director of the extension
service, University of Maryland; d. G.
Harry, of Hartford county. president
of the Maryland Horticultural Society,
and f. p. Covill. of Hancock. who is
the official delegate from the Mary
