SENDING OUT LETTERS
Plan is ono to Furnish Help
to Farmers Needing
Credit.

Letters are being sent to Iowa farm
ers from the newly organized Iowa
Farm Credit Corporation asking them
to subscribe for some portion of the
stock of this corporation. No person
will be permitted to subscribe in eX-
cess of $4,000 of the stock. 1t is the
desire that the subscriptions will av-
erage around about $1,000 per stock
holder.
The letter states that the sooner the
stock is subscribed the sooner can the
corporation begin its active assistance
to the Iowa farmer who needs credit.
Every Iowa farmer is expected to do
his full share in taking as much Of the
stock as he can. 1t already has had
wonderful support from the Iowa far
mer and the Iowa banker. The plan
is complete, practical and constructive.
1t is Il permanent institution devoted
entirely to betterins agricultural i'll
tereSts.
l.. V. Carter of Lawn HILL repre-
sentative to the legislature from Har-
din county. is one of the directors OF
the corporation. The authorized cap
ital stock is $J.OOO,O00 The letters
are signed by l.. a. Andrew, Of OF
tumwa, president.
The Letter.
The appeal to the farmers contained
in the letter is as follows:
"Can you live on present farm
prices? Agriculture will fail unless
the prices of farm crops arc restored
to a paying basis and if agriculture
fails the whole industrial structure
will fall. Our whole problem is one of
marketing. and our chief marketing
problem is one of finance. The Iowa
Farm Credit Corporation is planned to
help the Iowa farmer solve his mars
keting finance problem. We have been
planning and thinking for months. Now
we are ready. With this letter there
is sent to you. direct from the office
of the corporation. a pamphlet of full
explanation, telling what it is, why it
was organized. how it will operate anu
how it will benefit the farmers of this
state. for whom it is primarily or
ganized to serve. We want you to read
carefully all of the enclosed particu-
l.rs nf thiS rrpnt pOrpOan ion which
marks an epoch in the farming interest
of this state. This is the first real large
plan of farm financing
which has ever been submitted to an
Iowa farmer by 'home folks This
CORPORATION is the Outgrowth of most
distressing situation which has affected
all of Iowa and all farming OF the
middle west. No explanation need be
gone into about that. You are aware OF
what the collapse of farm prices has
meant to the Iowa farmer, what the
curtailment of marketing has meant to
him. and the problems which he has
been forced to solve through the re-
Sulting credit strinsency. These are
questions which have hit the Iowa
farmer and banker alike"
Stock in the corporation sells for
$40 per share The sum of SD cash
must be applied as an initial payment
per share on the purchase price.

WANT TECHNICAL PEACE JULY 4.
Congress Expected to Press Action on
Peace Resolution.

WASHINGTON. June 27-To have
the United States technically at peace by
July appears to be the aim of Republi-
can leaders in congress in charge of the
Knox and Porter peace resolutions.
Senator Lodge. chairman of the sem
ate and house conferees on the resOlu-
tlons. returned last night from AIassa-
chusetts prepared to renew negotiations
early this week, probably on Tuesday.
An early agreement on the differences
between the senate and house resolutions
Is predicted by the Republican confer
ees, who are expected to reach COM
promise basis before calling in the Dem
ocTatic conferees for formal action. The
compromise most widely discussed would
mold a part of each of the Knox and Por-
ter resolutions into Il new conferees'
draft. taking the Porter plan for declar-
ing Il state of peace instead of repeating
the war resolution. as proposed by the
Knox resolution. 1t is believed that the
conferees viii adopt the Knox reServa-
tions aS to American property rights and
other features of the Knox plan.
