German Trade With

Germany was the chief customer in
Great Britain's wool trade during
1921, according to the National Bank
of Commerce in New York. Total Ger
man imports of all commodities from
Great Britain, however, were lower
during that year than in 1920, and
British consumption of German goods
declined nearly one-third, the bank
says in the June number of its maga-
zine, Commerce Monthly.
Imports of German goods into
Great Britain during 1921 were valued
at 820, ,550,000, nearly a third less
than the total of &3O,252, 900 in the

pending legislation which pro-
vides for the erection of extensive new
machinery for agricultural finance
should be regarded critically. 1t is
certain that it will merit passage only
il and when a careful examination re-
vcals that it will indeed cure certain
existing ills which present machinery
cannot cure. The ned for encouraging
the granting of certain types of agri-
cultural credits with maturity of
from six months to three years seems
well established. The proposal of the
Joint Commission or Agriculture to
extend the activities of the farm loan
system to achieve this result has
found favor quite generally. This and
other proposals will doubtless receive
consideration when congress has
cleared it's docket of the tariff and
soldiers bonus. For this reason those
who have at heart the best interest
of our rural communities should form
an intelligent opinion as to the best
method of improving credit facilities
