FARMERS 10 MEET

iaanent character aud should b
of such nature as to close tb
books on this subject for man,
years to come.
| | have been greatly impressed
| by the fact that the greatest US
that has been made Of govern
inent credit agencies in aid o
the farmer have been made thr,
cooperative marketing associa
tons and that the credits W,
have made have been entirely sat
sifactory, both to the farmers
thru their organizations, and K
the government.
Extensive as IS the membership
i'll these organizations at thi.
time. | am convinced that the co.
operative marketing movement is
still III its infancy, and it is
sweeping the nation SO rapidly
that the best possible way to IA
cilitate and handlte rural credits
Tor the purpose of orderly mar
keting of crons will very evident
ly be thru the co-operatives.
This being the case, it comes
to me that the voice of the CO
operative marketing associations,
as business organizations of the
farmers for the specific purpose
of marketing their products,
should be heard on this question.
Since the best way to benefit the
farmer in helping to finance the
distribution of his products is
thru the, cooperative, it comes to
me that those engaged in franz
ing rural credits . legislation
should give the greatest attention
70 the desires of those erganizal
tons in this matter, an .n!pluf-t
/, | fulrthermoTe; 1T seems to 81 me
that it might be a good plan for
The leaders of, the cooperative
marketing movement to get to-
eetl1er in a national conference,
the matter of rural cred
t legislation and work out col
ectively, for the information OF
congress, the consensus of opin-
on in this matter.
Convened in Washington at an
,arly date, such a gathering
you'd, | am sure, be oloked upon
With great favor and keen inter
st by all members of Congress
nd government officials who
ave the interest of the farmer.
nd therefore OF, the. country at !
cart.
Cordially yours,
