MARKETING IS
GR0W|NCFAS
Banks Now Recognize This
Method as Good Business,
Says Eugene Meyer.
BY Universal Service.

Cooperative marketing assoch-
tions OF farmers and livestock grow-
ers are having great influence In
meeting the changing conditions OH
export trade produced by the world
war, in the opinion Of Eugene Meyer
director OF the War Finance Corpora
tion Of the Treasury.
Where Europe formerly bought
wheat, cotton and other farm prod
ucts a year in advance, at the time
when the crops were being marketed
buyers abroad are now coming Into
the market on hand.to-mouth bahs
from month to month. The depreci-
ated and unsettled state OF foreien
exchange makes II impossible Tor
buyers to anticipate conditions six
months in advance and they are
afraid to take chances.
Double In Number.
Through the cooperative market
ing associations, the crops instead OF
being dumped on the market in BULK
at the harvest time, later to fall into
the hands Of spectators to reap the
profits when there Is demand. arc
now being marketed gradually to
meet the demand and give the farmer
a fair return for his products.
The War Finance Corporation this
year, Mr.. Meyer stated, Is making
advances to cooperative organfza
tions representing three-quarters OF
a million producers. Last year there
were four wheat and four cotton as
sociatiOns. This year there were eight
Of each. One tobacco association mas
approximately $1,000 members. Live
stock, rice and other farm products
are being marketed through such as.
sciations in various sections of the
country.
The banks Of the country. in the
opinion of Director Meyer. have
come to recognize the cooperative
marketing as sound business
policy and are lending their aid In
making cash advances to financ"
the crop holding movements and
assisting the association in organiz-
ing and managing their financial
and accounting departments.
Are Paying Debts.
With the supports given by the
banks locally Director Meyer does
not expect the War Loan office to
be called on for any large amounts
of cash, though loans running high
into the millions have been ap-
proved II they should be found
necessary for these associations.
Director Meyer. who returned
from three weeks trip through
the West and Southwest, declared
that agricultural and general bust
ness conditions were much i'm
proved over n year ago. except In
drought sections OF the Southwest.
The farmers are showing a de-
termination TO get out Of debt and
are doing il to considerable ex-
tent, he said This is shown in the
repayment OF agricultural advances
OF twelve to fifteen millions Of dol.
