CROP INSURANCE
OREGON SENATOR INTRODUCES
BILL TO AID FARMERS
HAS WIDE SCOPE

Washington, D. Can investigation
sof government crop insurance fol
farmers is proposed in a bill offered
in the senate today by Senator Nc
Nary of Oregon. The bill was intro
duced at the behest of farmers anG
agricultural champions from all parts
of the west.
In a speech explaining his bill Sen
sator McNary declared that this cong
ress had done more than any of its
predecessors to better the condition
of the farmer, but that much more
awaited to be done.
To-day I offered concurrent reso
dution providing for the appointment
OF joint congressional committee
consisting of three members of each
house to Investigate the subje.. OF
crop insurance bureau, rOther ag-
ency," he said "This important sub
ject has never been given the atten-
tion it merits and propose that cong
ress make thorough and accurate
survey touching upon all the elements
involveld in such a considerable un-
.dertaking.
Must Stabilize Crop Production
"There is no industry subject to as
many vicissitudes and hazards as
farming. A years toll and crop in
vestment may be destroyed in a night
This threatening possibility is one Ct
the reasons that drive farmers to the
already overcOngested cities, result
ing in a condition both uneconomie
and fraught with social evils. The
farmers economic status is directly
dependent on nature and legislation
that tends to stabilize his crop produc-
ton and minimize his losses is
worthy of the most studious investf-
cation by the congress.
Excessive heat or rain NAV ruin
his planted fields. His gardens or
orchards may suffer from the fyosts,
the lack Of heat or drought His
growing grain or fruit may be injured
by plant diseases or sdffer damage
by winds, storms or hail.
ssThe plan proposed by the resolu-
tion contemplates a study of all
forms of crop insurance and he in
clusion in a general legislative bill
of all forms of losses against which
insurance may be practicable.
Farmers Carry Own Fire Risk
For many years the farmers have
carried their fire risk. Indeed, there
are over 1000 mutual fire insurance
companies in the country today ac-
lively, prosperously and soundly en-
gagged in fire insurance. fhe total
amount of insurance which they now
have in force exceeds $8,000,0O0.
"Insurance contracts against loss
of grain by hail are issued in soma
sof the northern states and have
worked to the benefit Of the grain
growers A certain amount OF fire
insurance has also been written on
standing grain in some states IN the
west. This form of insurance is
most common where the wheat is
left standing until thoroughly ripe
and dry and then cut and threshed
in single process.
sI realize it is not practicable to
enact legislation that justifies the ia-
-suance of an insurance policy cover
ing all the hazards to which crops
are subject, but in my Judgment a
number of serious hazards may be
included in policy if legislation OF
this character can be worked out.
Money made in the fat years would
assist in carrying the farmer over
during the lean years."

However in other departments of the

Effects of Stock Dividends

from their extreme low of the early
summer.
Effects of Stock Dividends
So far the splitting up of capital
accounts as an argument for higher
prices has been rather overdone, In the
same way that five months ago spec
ulative Wall street 1t was about the
effect of steel merger. The multipn-
cation of share units does not add to
the selling values of stocks unless 1t
entails a larger return to the stock
holder. This was perceived in a spe-
cial manner when following the 400 per
cent stock dividend by Standard Oil
of New Jersey the shares fell a sheer
20 points.
All that really happens In such a case
is that the capital increases indicate
prosperity of the company, calling at
%|ention to the large surplus and the
advance in earning power. To direct
public notice to these facts il worth.
from a temporary speculative stand
point. so points il the market, as it
was with Standard Oil.
These stock dividend announcements
really owe their influence upon the Sc
curity dealing to the fact that they
remind the public Of the Importance
OF assets represented DF pTOIlL anu
loss SURPRISES as an ultimate determi-
nant of values.
New Low for German Marks
The new low record for the German
mark is no surprise in view of the
frightful expansion still going on. Dur
ing September the reichsbank note
mounted sc billion marks. So far in
October events the increase has been
outdone. The way things are going
now the addition to the German paper
note issue for the current month will
scarcely fall short of 100,000,O 100000
marks.
This is not by any means all the
story. Despite the fact that the reichs-
bank has sought to curtail new borrow
ing by raising it's discount rate from
five to eight per cent, it's private dis
counts at the close of September stood
30 billion marks against 21A billions
at the close of August, only a little
over 5000, 900 at the close IF July.
This shows how shrinkage in values of
currency has inflated the demand for
credit. At the same time the gov
eminent has largely increased it's Dor
rowings, in spite of the relief afforded
by the ~postponement Of the remaining
cash re%paration payments for 1922.

New York, Oct. 14.-The important
features in the financial situation OF
the week were the success Of the new
$500, 900 government loan, the
continued ease in the money market
despite the heavy demands of the
crop moving season, the new recapitu-
lation plans with accompanying stock
dividends announced by several OF
the large industrial corporations and
the fresh collapse in the German
mark. How far the government fl
nancing, with the prospect of a good
deal more of it during the next six
months, is responsible for the check
to the investment market and how far
this is due to the feeling that money
rates have seen their low, is a ques-
ton. But at all events bond prices
have definitely stopped going up and
the disposition of large investing in
situations and wealthy capitalists gen.
orally is rather to sell than to buy.
buy.
Discriminating Stock Market
In the stock market the situation
is quite different. Speculative cliques
do not so much care whether they
pay 4 per cent or 6 per cent for their
that their credit supply will not be
cut down. With ample credit the
main question affecting speculative OPP
erations in company earnings now and
for the future. Between individual
companies there are wide differences
of opinion. The majority are max
ing normal pre-war profits, a number
are feeling the effects of severe com
petition and are operating with only
small balances to the good, and a few
are unusually speculative.
The stock market, taking cogniz-
ance of these differences, is not NOV
ing as a unit but is discriminating
carefully between the stock industrials
and corporations that are doing well
and those that. are not. In speak
irregularities have to be taken into
consideration. In most lines there is
Improvement as compared with the
spring and summer and seemingly a
gradual tendency toward further re-
covery. In other lines the position is
less satisfactory and the outlook more
uncertain.
Borrowings Increase
The advance Of over $50, 900, 900 in
borrowings form the reserve banks
is the largest increase that has oc-
Cured in any week this year. 1t re-
fleets three distinct operations; first,
the financing of subscriptions to the
new government loan; second. the fill
fling of the normal demands in the ag-
riculturaI sections, and third, the
handling of the larger credit require
I ments required by the recent rise in
Wall street prices.
Reserve ratio of the Federal Re
serve bank as a whole is now down
to five per cent from what it was two
months ago, but the expansion in re-
discounts and note circulation is quite
unimportant when measured by the
huge total of the inflationary period
of two years ago. On other words.
the money market is two-thirds of the
way through the trying period of the
crop movement-a period which in the
past has involved great strain. high
money premiums and frequent stock
market collapses-and vet money rates
are only up one-half to one percent
