BANKS SHOULD BE COMMENDED

Various agricultural organiza-
tions and certain politicians who
would buy votes with vain prom
ises. regardless of consequences, have
been accusing the banks of the
nation of refusing to finance the
farmers in holding their crops, and
therby forcing great loss on the
agricultural interests.
As a matter of fact, the banks in
every locality have financed the far
mers long past the time when many
crops should have been sold. Banks
have crippled their own resources
in extending these loans month af-
ter month, and in many localities
refusal of farmers to sell crops has
caused a serious condition in bank
ing circles.
The Federal Reserve Bank Will
not re-discount wheat paper, and a
local bank has no resource open but
to insist on payment. Any far
minded man can see that bank
which is the guardian of thousands
of individual deposits has no right
to speculate on any crop and ex-
tend loans for on indefinite period
while the producer holds for a hign
price which may never come. The
banks are not TO blame for present
market conditions, and they are to
be commended for carrying the load
to the extent they have, while at
the same time protecting the inter
ests of depositors
