In States

Chicago.--A successor TO the Farm,
trs Finance corporation. the 500. 0.000,-
600 fiscal subsidiary of the United
States Grain Growers. Inc. on an ever
greater scale Ia under consideration by
the United States Grain Growers. Inc,
who are the directors OF the finance
corporation, II was announced.
The information came from ]. NJ
Mehie. assistant to President Gustaf-
son Of the United States Grain Grow
ers, Inc. and from President J. r..
Howard OF the American Farm Bureau
federation. The letter brought the
United States Grain Growers, Inc. or
ganixed TO pool and market the farm
ers grain. into existence last spring
Mr., Mehle said that letters had been
sent to the directors for their opinion
on certain changes. but that all had
not yet replied. He said that n state
ment would be made public In few
days Mr.. Howard stated that he un-
derstood the replies already received
Indicated that new aud enlarged H.
nance corporation would be attempted
The Farmers Finance corporation was
Incorporated In Delaware but encoun-
tered opposite from the securities COM
missions Of Indiana, Minnesota and
other states, largely, II was said. be-
cause OF the concentration of power In
the board Of directors.
''The fact OF the matter Is that we
sought at this time to finance only
grain. where as In the long run cotton,
tobacco. livestock and other farm pro-
ducts must be financed" said Presi-
dent Howard. "Ohlo and Iowa have
already arranged for state financing
corporations. while Nebraska and Min
nesota farmers are considering similar
action. Assuming that other states
will follow In line. there would seem
to be need for sort Of national clear
Ing house for them and sentiment
seems to be that this should be broad
enough to care for I'll needs OF the
cooperative movement. instead of
grain alone. The board of directors
would represent all lines OF agricnl.
ture. instead Of grain alone as Mt pres
