publicans. introduced by Republicans
and passed by Republican majorities.
One Of the immediate and urgent
needs Of the farming communities was
credit to tide them over their imme.
date crisis. In order to furnish this
credit the Republican Congress amend.
ed the War Finance Corporation Act
so as to enable that organization to
have a revolving fund OF 81. 200, O00,.
900 to be used exclusively in making
loans to livestock and agricultural in.
terests. Since that body began func.
tioning under its newly acquired pow
ers it has been loaning money to the
agricultural and livestock interests of
the United States at a rate in excess
of $1,000. 900 a day.
One Of the earliest acts of this Con.
gress vas the appropriation of $4,000.
900 to be used in the purchase of seed
for the drought-stricken farmers of the
northwest. Since that time legislation
and appropriations have been made to
assist drousht-stricken farmers in
other sections of the country, and also
10 retrieve lne settlers upon TeClands
ton and irrigation projects.
Still another act of this Congress
was the increase Of the available zap
, ital of the Farm Loan Banks in tho
sum Of s25. 900 900. giving the Farm
Loan Banks a total revolving fund OF
$50. OOO, 900. This bill was written by
Republicans, introduced by Republi-
cans and passed by Republican major.
tiles in both branches of Congress.
Modern methods in the commercial
world have demonstrated the neces-
sity Of the farmers being permitted to
sell his crops under a cooperative sys-
tenn. and that this might be done legal.
ly and without interference or irrita-
ton, the present Congress enacted the
Cooperative Marketing Bill. This is
another bill written by Republicans.

gress by Republicans and passed ~

ling grazing produces the best re-
suits not only from a standpoint OF
utilization OF the Forest range, but
also from the standpoint Of securing
