WASHINGTON. May ia bill Gre
afing an agricultural foreign trade IL
nancing corporation with capital stock
of S1GOOO. 900 will be introduced In the
senate within the next few days by Sen
ator Norris of Nebraska.
The corporation will be designed to
finance the sale of surplus crops abroad,
INST as the McIuEh corporation, recently
foroed in New York, will care for for
eign sales of industrial material. Carr
yrooman, former assistant secretary. OF
agriculture who has done a great deal
of work on the bin. says that the idea
has been enthusiastically received by
members of congress, bankers and gov
eminent officials.
CAPITAL for the corporation would be
advanced by the government from the
nrofts of the United States Grain corpo-
ration. and there would be an AUTHORIZE
ton under the bill to issue and sell de
bentures M to S500,00O,00O. Loans
would he granted to farmers on long term
credits. so that their crops could be sent
to foreign markets. The farmers in turn
world be reuhired to purchase from the
cornoration capital stock to the amount
Of 10 per cent of the value of their eX-
ports. .,..--,.
said Mr. Vrooman. the farmers would
own the business and the government
would have got the money lent from the
grain corporation funds to start the ag-
ricnIturaI financing corporation.

tI,are is surplus of 100000 bales of
cotton. 4OO.OO6.0O0 bushels Of corn and
23O O00.O 900 bushels of oats. Prices have
gone down below the cost of production.
MANY farmers will be bankrupt by the
end of the wear if the condition contin-
ucs. To-day the market is stagnatcd, and
there is a loss Of more than SJ0,0O00Oo
every week. An agricultural financing
corporation would solve this situation
and the market would start upward.
There would not be a cent Of cost
to the taxpayers. for the money to start
the corporation is already available IN
the profits from the grain corporation
The idea If aiding the farmers to finance
the crops for foreign sale is not a new
one. for it has already been applied in the
industrial field. and in the cotton market.
But the idea of q foreign finance corpo-
ration organized to handle solely farm
products is new"
