Production in
Danger Is Warning
INADEQUATE CREDIT, UNFAIR
DEFLATION, HIGH FREIGHTS
DECLARED RUNNING FARMERS. ]

Congress must act immediately te
give farmers relief from high freight
rates, inadequate credit, foreign com.
petition and inefficient marketing il
it expects to restore nationwide pros
perity. That is the warning sent te
Washington today by the Minnesota
Farm Bureau federation. It accom-
panied detailed summary of the agri-
cultural problems of the state, sup
ported by evidence of specific injuries
suffered by the producers as result
of present economic conditions.
The Minnesota federation also out
lined specific remedies, urging speedy
legislative action to put them into eff
feet. The complete statement with its
supporting evidence was presented to
all members of the joint congressional
!. committee, under Representative
Sydney Anderson, which is investigat-
ing agricultural conditions.
Five recommendations were laid be-
fore congress by the Minnesota fed
Grafton, as follows:
Finance.
Credit facilities must be adjusted
to the needs of agricultural production
and financing. The 80 to 80 day loan
suited to ordinary commercial and in
dustrial enterprises is not equally ad-
apted to the needs of agriculture; it
puts the farmer under a serious fin
ancial handicap as compared to the
manufacturer and merchant.
Transportation.
Railroad freight rates must be re-
duced to a level that will restore the
movement of the necessities of life
before the farmers purchasing power
can be restored or the consumer can
be benefited by the decline in the orr
ginal selling price Of farm products.
Foreign Competition.
American agriculture cannot prosp-
er unless it is accorded the same tariff
American industry. So long as the
farmer is compelled to buy on pro-
Ntected market, he must be allowed to
sell on a protected market, Or be re-
duced by competition with foreign
peasants and pens to a condition dis
astrous and unthinkable.
Marketing.
Cooperation of the producers in
distributing their products is entitled
to a fair trial in open competition
with the existing system, and congress
should enact necessary clarifying leg
: Station to guarantee the right of the
: producer and the consumer to this
trial.
Taxation.
The farmers of Minnesota are vir-
tually unanimous in opposition to the
enactment of a general sales tax, a
tax on land holding, and repeal Of the
excess profits tax.
Commerce and industry are so de-
pendent on the farmers normal pur-
chasing power" the statement said
''that restoration of that purchasing
power is absolutely essential to bring
the whole economic fabric Of the Unit
ed States back to normalcy."

Commander Evangeline Booth, head
of the Salvation Army in the United
States, says that the country is fac
ing the worst winter industrially, it
has known in fifteen years. In New
York City alone, she declared yester-
day, 1--WE are receiving an average Of
800 registered applications week for
regular employment That is less
than one-third of the actual number
applying, because we do not register
the transient or unskilled men; nor
does it include the hundreds who come
to us daily for food and lodging. OF
the applicants for work today thirty
four were really professional men
whose credentials entitle them to good
paying positions"

SAYS
CROPS NEEDED
OVER COUNTRY
Minneapolis Man Thinks Farm
ers Show Inclination to
Improve Methods.


Until the country has experienced
two or three successful crop seasons,
there il no hope for complete return
to prosperity. in the opinion Of L. =.
AfacGregor. rice president of the
Northwestern National bank of Mlnne-
apolis, who arrived in Great Falls Sat
urday. The shifting Of indebtedness.
such as accomplished through relief
measures, does not produce a solid
state Of business and affords only
temporary improvement, he declared.
DiversiflcatIon Needed
.Basically the country has improv-
ed" Mr.. MacGregor asserted. for now
we can discern signs that the people
are really 1settling down for hard and
consistent work. There seems to be
change in sentiment among the farm
ers, one which will bring them to the
adoption of proper methods of farm
ing. It is lack of these methods that
is largely responsible for crop failures:
The country needs more diversified
farming and / believe this is becoming
more and more realized by the agri-
cultural class"
Mr.. MacGregor said he looked for
earlier improvement of conditions in
Montana than in the older states be-
cause Of the fact that this state has
not been in the grip Of a land boom.
Lands in states farther east are being
held for such high prices that there is
bound to be a collapse that will seri-
ously retard the progress of those
states, he said.
Must Grow Crops
In the financial centers Of the ma
ton, according to Mr.. MacGregor, there
has been a marked liquidation of debts,
but in the rural communities fewer
obligations have been satisfied. He de-
clared that these sections will not be-
come financially sound until good crops
are grown, despite the relief being Of
fered by the war finance corporation.
