Head Moline Company Discusses
Business Conditions Efficiency
Great Need OF Times Is Word.
Especial to The Argus. }

Geneseo, March 2o.-William
Butterworth, president OF the Deere
company of Moline, addressed the
meeting of the Geneseo community
farm bureau at the high school last
night on the subject, Business
Conditions and the Outlook for
1922.
! The session was called to order
| by Harvey Lewis, president of
the bureau, who introduced the
speaker.
Referring to the conference in
New York attended by railroad Of
ficials, representatives of farm or
CARNATIONS, manufacturers and
government officials, which result
ed in the 10 per cent reduction on
railroad freight rates on farm pro-
duce, Mr.. Butterworth stated that
it marked an epoch in the business
history of America. This gather
ing was distinguished by the eff
fort of all present to accomplish
something of vital Importance in
connecting business conditions and
farm interests, which ultimately
acted beneficially upon the whole
nation.
The speaker said that he could
not differentiate betWeen.the manu-
facturer and farmer, as he felt that
their interests were identical. He
contended that the nations pro-
gress was retarded by excessive
transportation costs of both freight
and passenger traffic and the ex-
traordinary high cost of coal. Re
lief by fair, equitable reductions
are imperative" stated Mr.. Butter
worth
With urban population increas-
ing and rural population decreas-
ing farming methods must be sci,
entitically improved to obtain great
er returns per acre. With the Eur
opean markets unable to buy our
farm proGucts satisfactorily credits
must be extended to them as well
as additional demands of consump-
ton created in this country"
'sReacting from the excessively
high prices during and Immediate
ly after the World war, we encoun-
tered period of downward price
trend. We are now" stated Mr..
Butterworth, facing signs of the
times which indicate that we have
touched bottom and are going up
ward in the value of farm prod |
ucts."
DR.. w. E. Taylor, head of the /
farm experiments department of |
the Deere company, spoke very |
forcefully upon the predominant
value of the farm and its products |
as the basis of the nations wealth. |
DIR TaVlOr referred IN the tbraa
forces which have been utilized by
the American farmer to make this
country the storehouse Of the
world. This trinity consists of
capital, labor and invention.
The greatest needs in farming
today to attain its greatest success,
is increased efficiency of the farm
er. his land. and the increased eff
fciency of feed for his livestock"
