Baruch's Plan for the Farmers

NJ.
Baruch 10 organize S2,5O0,0OO
farmers finance corporation in South
Carolina in an effort to aid the tobacco
growers of that State in marketing their
crops would seem to be sound and prac-
teal. Mr.. Barudh is himself native
Southerner. and despite the fact that his
chief activities have been concerned with
big business affairs of the East he has
never faltered in his love for the South nor
lost interest in its problems. His ability
as capable tnancier has received sub
stantlal recognition, as attestcd by the nu-
merous positions of large trust some Of
them public, which lie has held during an
unusually successful career
His plan. briefly stated follows: A
financing corporation would be created with
S2,500,00o in subscribed stock for the pur-
pose OF extending loans to the farmers of
South Carolina on short-term notes. these
notes to be secured by warehouse receipts
for products stored pending a favorable
market Against these notes. maturing at
diherent dates, the corporation would issue
bearer certificates. in which the general
public could invest cash in 800, $500 and
$1,000 denominations With regard to the
soundness of these investments, Nr. Baruch
explains: There could be no safer invest
ment than these bearer certificates, pro-
tected by the cash resources of the cor
poration, plus the farmers individual Sc
curity' in the form of the warehouse re-
ceipts on the products covered by them"
Students of the marketing situation in
the agricultural States are well aware that
the failure OF just rewards to the farmers
for their toll grows ont of conditions which
force them 20 unload their products on the
market at unfair profits when prices are
depressed by the heavy movement conse-
he nf flpir
into ready money to meet obligations in
Cured in crop production. With their
products established in storage as security
for loans from farmers financing cor
poration, such as is proposed. they would
be tided over the period of market depres-
sion and be placed in favorable position
TO sell when active demand should stimu-
late prices TO profitable level.
While the original. capital OF the cor
poration would be created by Investments
in its stocks by large holders of ready
money throughout the country, the secnri-
tics Investment markets generally bear
testimony To the fact that there is much
liquid capital in the South, in small sums,
seeking these Investments. With this new
avenue for investment i'll such local secur-
ties Of approved value opened up, much OF
this capital would find Il profitable field of
investment, and therefore contribute 10 the
development and prosperity of the sections
from which ii would be drawn, instead OF
helping development in sections where less
needed.
What applies to the need Tor financing
the tobacco crop would be equally appl-
cable TO the extension OF the plan to other
crops III I'll the agricultural States. 1t
would beget AN era OF cooperative market
ing and in its possibilities of extension
would seem to merit the support OF farmers
generally.
