FARM FINANCING ID COME BEFORE
 NATIONAL FARLEY
Wallace Charges Certain Loan Companies With Talk ing Advantage of the
 PIanters--Has Data
By Associated Prsss

Washington, January 20.--Farm financing came prominently to the front today with the announcement by Secretary Wallace that he would lay before the national agricultural conference next week charges that certain companies loaning money on farm mortgages were taking advan- tage of the present crisis to charge "extortionate" interest rates.
 At the same time the agricultural department made public informat tion Lit had gathered for possible use of the conference showing that the banks of the United States had out standing approximately s3,s6e,ss1 ,415 personal and collateral loans to farmers and s1,447.4S2.926 in farm mortgage loans at the end of 1920. 'In all lines of business" the sec- retary declared in a statement, I've find predatory individuals who seek opportunities to take advantage of the misfortunes of others. We ex- pcct that from men of a certain type, but it Is a real shock to note that the same sort of thing is being done now by some insurance companies and farm mortgage loan companies or whom we nave a TlBnt to expect higher code of ethics"
 Extortionate Interest
 These charges, he added, did not aIply to all companies making loans to farmers, for some. he added, were doing the right thing and helping the farmers all they could in the present situation. Others. however. Mir. Wallace asserted emphatically, "are taking. advantage of the farm CTS distress to heartlesly extort a rate of interest and terms of loan which cannot be justified
 Charles s. Barrett, president Of tho national board of farm organiza- tions and president of the National Farmers union, also issued state ment in which he declared that the government had ditched" the farm CTS because through the federal re- serve board and other agencies 1t all lowed a ruinous artificial deflation to bring agriculture to it's present deplorable straights."
 Real success for the conference Mir. Barrett asserted, would be pos sible only if a plan is evolved through which speedy aid will pc given the farmers so that they can continue as producers of food ana clothing material for this country and for large part of the world

the government had sued 1t for re-
covery of $2,4OS,267-4.
The suit represents the govern

ment officers.
