incur the risk of immobilizing its

machinery is inadequate in certain

always be buffer" between the
borrower and the federal reserve
bank. 1t is as such that the federal
land banks, as above recommended,
may be developed to render a distinct
national service.
Two.-The independence OF the fed

a court of supreme standing, must be
able to act from an entirely judicial

For Formers
Wired The President
Communication of Western
Minnesota Bankers Sent
Out At Ortonville i

Ortonville, Mimi, January 16.-De-
claring dire calamity has befallen
the agricultural interests Of the
country" a delegate convention OF
Western Minnesota bankers and
farmers here late Saturday sent a
1000 word telegram of appeal to
President Harding, emphasizing the
necessity for financial assistance to
the farmer.
The telegram expresses the belief
that official Washington and Eastern
business interests are unaware of this
calamity" 1t details the .predica-
ment of the farmers, particularly the
grain growers of the northwest
The meeting was held to OBTAIN d.
rect aid for the farmers through the
Far Finance corporation, The leie.
gram to the President follows in
part:
"We believe that official circles
at Washington and the business men
of the large cities are not fully aware
of the dire calamity that has be-
fallen the agricultural interests OF
the nations and especially the Grain
growing districts Of the Northwest
and of the great need for immediate
and direct relief by the government
through the War Finance corpora
ton. .ts - Fl, eS tE.G
I'VE believe that the government
should extend direct relief to the
farmers of the nation and in prac-
tical and simple manner.
I'VE approve Of the plan OF financ-
ing farmers, proposed by A. b.
Kaercher of Ortonyille, Mimi, en-
bodied in a cooperative association
Of producers, through which govern
ment money could be loaned
I'VE believe farmers and business
men of each county, who personally
know the character and standing Of
the farmers, are better able to pass
on the security offered by the farm
er than agricultural or other com
mittees in, distant cities, who have
no knowledge of these things, and,
therefore, believe such cooperative
agricultural corporations should be
permitted to deal directly with the
War Finance corporation and that
the approval and guaranty Of securi-
ties offered by such county units
should be accepted by the War FL
nance corporation"
