SIGNED BY THIRTY BANKERS
The 1920 Crop Has Been Produced
With Labor and Other Expenses at
the Highest Peak, and Many
Farmers viii Lose.

Jennings, La go At a meeting in
Crowley Of the bankers Of Southwest
Louisiana who are vitality interested
in the rice industry, an agreement was
signed by about thirty bankers which
means that they will lend every as
sistanCe possible In financing and car
ryiug maturing paper of farmers and
planters now held by these institu-
tiUns so that the rice will be mar
keted in an orderly way and in Il
manner that will result in as small a
loss as possible to the rice grower.
The situation with reference to the

been so serious as to warrant the pro

In some way, reimburse them for the
actual expense put out on the present
crop. The 1920 rice crop has been
produced with labor and other eX
ponses at the highest peak and many
farmers at the present price will not
be able to pay expenses.
The agreement entered into by
institutions Is as follows;
"First-The recent drop in prices OF
eli staple commodities has carried rice
with it to a point far below the cost
of production to the average farmer.
"Second-The 1920 rice crop has
been financed and in another week
