Governor Wellborn used In his ar

statement from the report OF the
joint commission on agricultural in
quiry. He was careful, however, not
tcN mention the following criticism
of the reserve boards deflation pol
icies taken from the report to Con-
gress of that same joint agricultural
commission, composed OF senators
and representatives of both political
parties. which / particularly COM
mend to your study:
The debacle of prices in 1920 and
1921 reduced the farmer to a condi-
ton worse than he has suffered un-
der for 30 years. =. Farmers are
having the greatest difficulty in pay
ing the debts incurred in producing
the crops of 1920 and in securing
credit necessary for new production.
The commission believes that these
difficulties are due in measure to
the credit restrictions and limitations
OF the past IS months, and in part to
the fact that the banking machinery
of the country Is not adequately
adapted to the farmers require
ments. The commission is Of the
opinion that more liberal policy
could have been adopted in the lat
ter part of 1920 and In the early
part of 1921. and that the adoption
of such a policy would have served to
arrest in part the tide of deflation.

losses incident thereto"

Governor Wellborn boasts in his ar
ticle which you quote of how Eek
tremely liberal" the Atlanta Reserve
bank had been "in extending credits
to our member banks!" And he unc-
tiously adds; 80 far as the farmers
were concerned we at no time denied
them credit"
Prices whitening Away
Please note, that while the Atlanta
Reserve bank was contracting its
loans and discounts during that fate
full period when the farmers and
business men were imploring addi-
tional credits, from $3.50, 100000 in
october, 1920, to less than $4,000. 900
on January 20, 1922. prices of repre-
sentative agricultural products were
whitening away. Corn at Chicago
which averaged in September. 1920,
s1.29 per bushel, averaged for the
month q January. 1929. only ~ cents
per bushel. Wheat at Chicago which
averaged in September. 1920, s2.4e
per bushel. averaged for the month of
January, 1922, only s1.19 per bushel.
and cotton which, in July, 1920, had
averaged 1914 cents and in September,
1920. had averaged ~ cents a pound,
had declined by June, 1921, to IL
cents pound, and even under the
influence of a 40 per cent reduction
In the crop, had averaged In January,
1922, only about 16 cents a pound.
Hides. which in September, 1920. were
quoted at 28 cents a pound averaged
in January, last, 16 cents a pound.
and hogs quoted in September, 1920,
at SIT a hundred pounds, had de-
clined to an average in January. 1922.
of sS.16 a hundred pounds.
Governor Wellborn claims that the
Reserve Bank of Atlanta greatly in
creased its loans to member banks
between January 1, 1920" and Jan
uary, l, 1921" but he carefully re-
Trains from disclosing the fact that a
large part OF that increase took place
between January. 1920, and end of
May, 1920, and that while during
those five months loans were In
creased the prices of agricultural
commodities were either stabilized or
were advancing.
The figures which have given you
prove. indisputably. that from octo-
Der. 1920, when the cries for help
were loud, and ] might say heart
breaking. up to the end of January,
1922. the deflation and contraction by
the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta
| was persistent, heartless, grinding
and relentless, and these figures are
from the official records themselves.
Governor Wellborn also beasts
that
These borrowings" (from the At
lanta Reserve bank) were almost
entirely for agricultural purposes"
That statement Is not supported
by the facts. While some of the
money loaned by the Atlanta Reserve
bank to the big banks in the cities
on short time paper was doubtless
used directly or indirectly for agri-
cultural purposes, the official re-
ports of the Federal Reserve bank of
Atlanta show the total loans made
on so-called Agricultural" and live
stock" paper from October, 1920 to
January, 1922, were as follows:
Loans on Agricultural" and live
stock" paper held by the Federal Re-
serve bank of Atlanta at the end
of each month, from October. 1920.
to January, 1922. as officially re-
ported by the reserve board in the
federal reserve bulletin.

From the above table 1t appears
that the maximum amount loaned by
the Atlanta Reserve bank during this
period on AGRICULTURAL and live
stock" paper In that entire district
was only about $18,000,000, and the
total sum loaned on this character
of paper In three great agricultural
states and parts of three others, IL
appears, never amounted at any
time to as much as the Federal Re-
serve board authorized the Federal
Reserve bank of New York to spend
in a gorgeous banking temple in
New York city. The amount so ap-
propriated by the board for that
one banking palace, amounted to con-
siderably more than twenty million
dollars 100000. o00).

A Newspaper OF Their Own
The mass meeting was filled with
sentiment, pep, and much active work
was done. For actual plans for rails
ing the money were unfolded and
discussed.
The women are to edit a regular
newspapers special edition all their
own. This is to be a part of the Bir-
mingham Post, Wednesday, Novem-
Der /.
There will be serious section, a
comic corner, and a special space set
apart for an agony column"
The women will make their money
from gathering advertisements, and
from want ads.
They will also charge for space in
their funny section, demanding from
a man who wants to advertise: "Or,
Geraldine, my heart is broken. Come
to the bridge at midnight IL you want
to. see me commit suicide" a price
commensurate with the favor done
the man by letting the whole public
realize his great agony, and be SYM
pathetic.
The women, who are determined to
make the money, have already gone
to work getting their committee
members, and making UP lists of
workers they will ask to assist them.

SCHOOL BELL RINGS SEPTEMBER Attn
Indications Point To One OF The
Greatest Years In History
OF The School

The local high school opens Monday
morning September 4th at nine
O'Clock. There will be a short pro-
gram for announcements, enrolment
and for getting acquainted with the
new teachers. Tuesday school will
start in earnest according to the regu-
lar schedule.

one of the best years that Bookings
high school has ever had. Workmen
have been busy cleaning up and CIV
ing the floors new coats of paint and
varnish so that the students will find
the building in an inviting condition.
The new athletic coach, Mr.. Nickel
make preparations for a big year in
football. There is plenty of material
in school for the best team Brookings
has ever had, and a good many of the

bate will start right away. A special
coach has been hired to take care of
%forensics and dramatics and judging
from the work our debaters did last
year, several of whom will be back
this year, We can expect great things
in debate.
The new manual training teacher
and the new music teacher are both
especially prepared to take care of
their respective lines of work.
Parents should make it a point to
talk over the courses of study with
their children who intend to enroll in
high school. The superintendent and
principal will be glad to talk the
course Of study over with parents if
they will call at the office. The va

CLUBS AT A FAIR

A practical demonstration of the
work done by the boys and girls of
South Dakota who are members Of
the baby beef and baby pork clubs, in
the raising of fat stock for the market
will be a feature at the State fair this
year. The demonstration will be
given in the form of a sale of fat live
stock which has been raised and fitted
for the market by the boys and girls
under the supervision of local club
leaders working in cooperation with
p. J. Scarbro, specialist in charge Of
boys and girls extension methods at
State college.
The livestock industry is growing
very rapidly in the state and along
with this growth comes the call for
improved methods for the feeding and
m .Ns3,ement of fat stock in order that
they may be put on the market at the
least possible expense. 1t is these
methods that the boys and girls will
demonstrate.
The sale will take place at the boys
and girls headquarters on the fair
ground Friday morning. September 10.
One OF the best a~uctioneers In the
state has been secured as crier for the
sale and 1t is expected that buyers
from all the commission houses In the
territory will be present.
