TO STOP luxurious
RATES To FARMERS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-The full
force of the administration is being
exerted to stop the pernicious prac-
tice of some banks loaning money to
agricultural and livestock interests
at usurious rates. For some time
criticisms of the War Finance Cor
poration and the Federal Reserve
banks have been reaching the ears of
the authorities at Washington. This
criticism has been to the effect that
the rates of interest on money advan-
ced by the War Finance Corporation
and money borrowed from Federal
Reserve banks was so high that if
was preventing the agricultural sect
ions of the country from obtaining
money badly needed to tide them over
the crisis. Criticisms were also re-
celved to the effect that there was
so much red tape and delay in con-
nection with the financing of agricul-
turai intereste that it rendered such
financing useless.
The authorities at Washington
know that these criticisms were un-
just and not founded on fact. 1t has
occn inspected for some time that
cde source of these misleading reports
were those banks which wished to
protiteer at the expense of the agri-
cultural interests. The matter came
to a focus when Secretary Fall of the
Department of the Interior returned
from an extensive trip through the
West and Southwest and brought in
formation of a concrete character
that livestock interests have been
compelled to pay e~xhorbitant rates
for loans out of funds which had been
advanced to banks by the War FL
nance Corporation and, in addition,
had been compelled to pay commits
slons in order to obtain the loans.
The information which Secretary
Fall placed in the hands of the admin
istration, plus the information which
had been obtained by Investigating
criticisms above mentioned, determin-
ed the administration to take decisive
action to stop such practices. 1t is
known that these practices are not
general among banks, for, on the
whole, the banking institutions of the
country have c~ooperated to the full
est extent with the Wan Finance Cor
pOration, the Federal Reserve system,
Farm Loan banks and other federal
agencies in an effort to tide over the
agricultural crisis. The banking in
t~erests, as a whole, are as severe in
their denunciation of the practices of
some of their number as are the gov
eminent officials.
The financial agencies of the adj
ministration want it made plain to
the farmers and livestock interests

\ 4WPACKING

Some Is Montana establish
ments, employing about 400 hands,
are given over to the business of
slaughtering and meat packing.
The value of their annual out
put in 1921 was in the neighbor-
hood of So, 900, 900, a decline in an
nual production value of about
S 1,750,000 from the year 1919, due
to the general decline in prices of
food stuffs.
The largest meat packing plants
are located in Billings, Butte and
Great Falls, the two former being
Government-inspected establish
ments, which allows them to avail
themselves of a considerable in
terstate business. Important ship
ments are regularly made from
these plants to Idaho, Washing
ton, Wyoming and the Dakotas.
The largest of these plants when
operating at capacity butchers
$4,000 head Of stock per year.
According to the United States
Department of Commerce, the
chief gain in the meat packing in
dustry Of the State during recent
years has been shown in The item
of cured pork. In 1909 the value
of this commodity represented
only 1.6 per cent of the total value
Of products in 1914, it was AZ per
cent while in 1919 it amounted TO
IL per cent of the total.
The meat packing plants Of
Montana, operating under normal
conditions, receive annually and
turn into finished food products
about $4,000 head of cattle, 5000
calves, $1,000 sheep and about
$1,000 hogs.

nual output amounts 10 II, 00O,O 0O

ton and lamb, 4,75O,0 900 pounds of
fresh pork, 2,450,000 pounds of
picked or cured pork, and about
100000 pounds each of sausage,
lard and tallow.
On the authority of the Govern
ment Meat Inspector, it is esti-
mated that So per cent of all the
meat consumed in Montana is
Government inspected. Incident
ally this indicates in a general way
the volume of business done by the
plants at Billings and Butte, in
proportion to the State total. The
other 35 per cent Of the Montana
consumption is supplied by local
plants or private butchering.
The Importance Of Montana's
packing plants to the livestock
industry of the State has not been
fully realized. In 1920 our stock
growers shipped to market over
100000 beef cattle and nearly
100000 sheep and lambs, most Of
this huge total paying heavy
freight charges for a long, ener
waiting journey to st. Paul, Chi
cago, Omaha, Kansas City, Spo-
kane, Portland or Seattle. If the
local stockman or small farmer
were to condition his stock for di-
rect sale at all seasons of the year
to the local packing plant, he
would not only realize a larger net
return but the community would
be benefited in getting a steady
supply at a fair price.
The meat packing plants in the
larger centers utilize electric en-
ergy, most Of which is supplied by
The Montana Power Company.
For this service the Company re-
ceived in 1920 the sum Of $10,-
578.16. Of this amount $2,153.6 8
was paid IN State, County and
CITY taxes.
