Bankers must meet this problem.
There must be a modification OF the
old attitude. Whether this should be
done through banking machinery or
through proper cooperative market

some method must be devised for re-

which forces him to dispose his
crop. either at the moment the harvest
Is completed. or while its movement
Is under way. as this has been too
often used as means for price de-,
probation. Methods also must. be
discovered for lowering the cost Of
