FOR RESERVE BOARD
Gov. Harding to Make Personal
Trip to Middle West and
Southwest.

WASHINGTON. April 2S.-Governor
Harding OF the Federal Reserve Board
announced to-day that he would begin
next week a personal survey OF the farm
credit situation in the middle West and
Southwest to learn at first hand tho
problems OF the country bankers and
trade organizations. Mr.. Harding will
start Monday to visit the Chicago Fed
eral Reserve district Returning here
the middle OF May for the meeting OF
the Federal Reserve governors. he will
60 later to Kansas City. Topeka, Nash
vile, Oklahoma City and other localities.
The real crux OF tho farmers prob
lem, In the view OF Mr. Harding, Is the
foreign situation. The farmers, he said.
must have a market for their commod-
tiles, as they can not 20 on indefinitely
on credit without selling their crops. He
thought the reduction OF the rediscount
rate by the Bank OF England might aid
American farmers by making possible a
more liberal market for grain and cot
ton. not only In Great Brltan- but In
other European countries.
Inequalities In price readjustment be-
tween the wholesalers md retailers and
the transportation situation also were
described by Mr. Harding as contribut-
ing causes to tho present agricultural
that q resumption OF building would re.
suit In general easing OF expenses.
including high rents. which would react
to the benefit of the farmers.
The Federal Reserve Board Gov. Har-
ding said. has no specific plan outlined.
Reserve banks cannot make direct loans
TO farmers. but can only rediscount
loans Of member banks.
Reports to the board, Mr.. Harding
continued indicate that next years
American cotton crop will he within 75
per cent. or this years total. although
at the end OF the cotton year, July /.
there viii probably be surplus of
(. 900. 600 bales. or nearly 4 worlds SUP.
rly in present conditions. Therefore. he
added. bankers naturally are cautious In
loans on farm paper. although
there will likely be sufficient advances
to care for immediate needs Of farmers
In planting crops.
