COMMERCE BODY
SEEKING RELIEF
FOR AGRICULTURE
Further Freight Reductions
Nav Follow Cut on Grain
and Hay.

The clouds which have hung heavy
over agricultural industry are thin
ming. Successive measures passed in
congress nave brOugh relief or the
promise of it, Now the Interstate
Commerce commission, recognizing
that agriculture has suffered unduly
in the process Of defiatiOn and that
rates on grain and hay are out of
proportion TO rates on other COM
modities. has ordered a reduction OF
about 10 percent in freight rates on
these products carried by western
roads. other reductions may follow
with a view TO balancing costs and
assisting in the general recovery OF
business.
The new rates take effect not later
than November 20. The farmers will
not get the full benefit of this re-
vision as a large part of this years
crop has left the growers hands
The middleman will profit, as usual.
Next season both winter and spring
wheat will move at the new rates,
or at lower rates. Quite possibly the
change will produce a larger move
ment Of hay this fall and winter than
would otherwise have occurred.
Senator Capper, presumably back
ed by the agricultural bloc in the
senate, is determined 10 repeal the
six per cent guarantee clause in the
transportation act and to restore to
state commissions authority over
intra.-state traffic before allowing
passage OF the railroad funding bill.
The six per cent clause does not
make provisions for times of extreme
depression when even high rates fail
TO produce the necessary revenue,
yet a further raise In rates would
defeat ito own end by reducing the
amount of traffic Seemingly IL is
unfair that any industry should en-
JOY especial favor. as do the rail-
roads. In seasons of poor business,
when most concerns are losing
money. Yet the six per cent guar
antee" concerns rates merely ana
cannot guarantee returns. Ii is an
unfair rule that doesn't work both
ways. and II the government assumes
10 restrict railroad revenues TO six
per cent when other corporations
are earning vastly more. it must In
fairness keep faith by doing its best
to maintain the rate when times are
hard. No one viii deny the justice
OF this proposition. however much
he suffers by reason Of high freight
rates.
Government regulation OF trans
portation rates is accepted as legiti-
mate and necessary. The present
situation puts the rate-making body
IN a quandery Congress may think
best to abandon the arbitrary six
per cent rate and permit the rail-
roads 10 recoup their losses when
times are good without mulcting the
public I'm so doing.

Federal ReSerUe Ruling Help
To Farm Credit, Wallace Says

instead OF the agent OF the members
In the sale or the tobacco. the rul-
ing would have been otherwise. and
the drafts would have been classed
as commercial paper. and as such
would only have been eligible for
rediscount with a maturity not in
excess Of 90 days.
Before any association accepts any
drafts. Secretary Wallace pointed
out, II sh ouid consult the local bank
ers and obtain their opinion as TO
the percentage of the market value
OF the products delivered for which
these drafts should be accepted. 1T
is only natural" he said, that II the
drafts are drawn for a conservative
percentage OF the value Of the pro-
ducts which the farmer has deliver
ed 10 the association, that the bank
ers, and even subsequent holders,
will regard the drafts as a much
safer investment than II the drafts
represent a high percentage. This
IS especially true during the present
time when market values are so un-
certain. Either notes. drafts. or bills
OF exchange. it should be remember
ed. drawn or issued by farmers for
purposes and secured
by federal warehouse receipts for
readily marketable staples are eligi-
bic for rediscount under the six
months rule"
Department specialists in farm
finance believe that the method en-
ployed by the tobacco growers as
would be found of value
by other cooperative associations.
{ especially when used in connection
with receipts for agricultural prod
uts Issued By warehouses licensed
under the Federal Warehouse Act.
There is a growing tendency on the
part Of bankers throughout the
county TO require federal warehouse
receipts when making loans based
on agricultural products.

they have, and are doing in the in
terest OF agriculture throughout the
state
These annual conferences have
heen held since the organiza ton of
county farm bureau work, but the
agents themselves did not have
either an active part or voice in the
problems and discussions which
came before the meetings. How
ever, the old order was changed this
year by placing on the list of speak
ers several agents who recounted
numerous difficulties which they en-
cOuntered in their work and how
they had been overcome. The dis
custom of these essentially local mat
ters injected an altogether different
angle and profitable source Of infor-
nation which had been lacking in
the past. BY this system Of inter-
change of ideas and expressions of
opinion several new agricultural and
livestock methods were developed.
The innovation from the old Gus
tom of loading the conference pro
gram with a long list of speakers
from outside points who were not
either conversant or in touch with
state conditions proved positively re-
freshing. BY opening the meeting to
the agents and recognizing them as
the best authorities covering condi-
tons in their respective counties,
the discussions did not grow stale, 8"
az frequently is the case when
speakers cannot hold the interest of
an audience in the absence of sym
pathy with the subject. 1t was par
ticularly pleasing that this element
was lacking at the Lafayette con-
ference. II was obvious reason that
each agent was interested IN what
his co-worker along similar lines was

Fulton SUM-

Everything is ready now for re-
moving the cancer spot on the Gala
way roadside Auxvasse hills which
have been a barrier at times almost
separating the north part of the coun-
ty from their county seat. Last fall
the project to remove this barrier
was started and then it was believed
that it could be done for $4,000, but
estimates made by the county and
state highway commission found that
this would not be enough, and that
it would take $4,000 to make the
required changes and improvements.
The plan is to build a heavy steel
bridge with concrete floor that will
be $50 feet long and eighteen feet
wide over the creek, reduce the grade
of the hills m each side to a five
per cent grade and gravel the road
for a half mile on each side Of the
bridge. With the money in hand the
big part of the job is accomplished
and If is hoped to get the task finish
ed this season.
