EPOCHAL MEETING
Of AGRICULTURAL!
INTERESTS IS HELD
Georgia Delegates Say Great
Things Were Accomplish
ed at 'Most Constructive"
of All Farmer Sessions :

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-Perma-
nent organization Of the national
council of Farmers Cooperative
Marketing associations was author.
lied Saturday in closing session here
of a three-day conference of repre-
sentatives of farmers associations.
The purpose of the council will be
to handle common problems of CO.
operative marketing bodies, without
conflicting with other associations,
and acting as their mouth-piece.
Modification of present agricul-
tural loan systems to give farmers
nine months credit paper, instead
of six months, and to increase to
$4,000 the maximum basis of loans
from farm land banks, was recon.
mended in resolutions unanimously
adopted. Amendment of the federal
reserve law to meet the special re-
quirements of farm credits and to
permit the financing of farmers and
their cooperative societies, also was
favored.
The general policy for the council
was laid down, favoring the local
banker as the primary reliance OF
the farmer for production and mar
keting credits.
Erection of a farm credits depart
ment in federal land banks with
capital sufficient to issue farm credit
to the maximum of six hundred mil
lion dollars, was another project in,
dorsed. This department would dis,
count or purchase agricultural pa,
per and make loans to cooperative
marketing associations and to agri-
cultural cooperative credit associa-
tons. None OF the farm relief meas
ures now pending was Endorsed by
name, but the house and senate
banking and currency committees
were requested to incorporate the
conference recommendations in one
rural credits BILL along with accept
liable features of the nine farm credits
bills already before congress.
The conference, in it's formal dec
laration of policy, held that the co,
operative associations should ask
nothing from the federal govern.
ment other than enactment of legis-
lation to permit farmers and their
organizations the same access to the
federal credits systems that all other
industries now possess.
The interstate commerce commits
sion was requested by the confer
ence to institute hearings for the
purpose of opening the question y
revision of freight rates, with the
view to possible lessening the bur-
dens borne by shippers of primary
commodities.
Sounding the gavel for adjourn
ment, Carl Williams, of Oklahoma,
president of the American Cotton
Growers exchange, declared the
conference to have been the most i'm
portant move in American history
for the betterment Of the farmer.
Not only will agriculture benefit, he
declared but the consumers of farm
produce everywhere will share in the
reforms expected to come from the

Obstacles in
Way of us.
Colonization
ny AMATEUR ECONOMIST

Mr.. Dye In his letter to The
Star February IL assures us that
necessity will supply the needed
men TO carry our commerce and
industries into the South Ameri-
can countries. wish that
could believe that II was as sam
pie as that: I cannot forget that
We were unable to build up a
merchant marine before the war.
also that We are unable TO build
up dye industry. Everyone
admitted that We should have
these activities for the proiec-
ton OF the nation. yet In spite
OF a great amount OF talk these
Industries did not develop.
II IL were possible 10 take a
cargo OF goods to Peru and sell
II at a profit, business would
soon be booming. but II Is not
profitable to do this.
II Seattle capitalists knew a
man whom they were confident
could take their money and with
IL build a railroad in Peru that
would be profitable TO them. IL
would take no time to raise the
) money. but they do not know
such a man. therefore they will
buy a bond issued by some South
American city or state. where
the risk II not so great.
Now I certainly believe that
we do have the best engineers
In the world in the United
States, but they have not had
the special training necessary 70
inspire the necessary confidence
In capital. and Furthermore, I do
not know OF any great number
Of them who are in a position TO
receive this training.
As Mr.. Dye explained in this
letter, the problem OF South
American development is not
one only OF building the rail-
road: this would be the smallest
part of the project. 1t would
be necessary to carry out n colo
nization scheme at the same time.
IL there is any one thing that
American capital IL afraid Of II

The English have been in this
