er needs better prices Tor his crops
and livestock, rather than easier ways
to borrow money. That is true. but
these friends do not seem to under
stand that prices of crops and live
stock are directly influenced by credit
facilities.
"In the past, farmers have been
obliged to finance their productive en-
terprises by borrowing money for
short terms. When times are good
they have no difficulty in renewing
these loans, but in periods of finan-
cial distress too many farmers have
found themselves under the necessity
of pushing their crops or their live
stock on the market, not infrequently
before the latter is fully fitted for
market, in order to pay notes which
they had expected to be able to re-
new, thus at times flooding the mar
ket and seriously depressing prices.
Under a system of intermediate cred
its, administered with reference to the
farmers seasonal requirements, they
The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1923-07-11

should be able to market both their
crops and livestock in a more order
ly fashion and this in itself will be q
potent influence in keeping the prices
more stable and reasonable.
Il thoroughly agree that what is
needed is fair prices; and l very we'll
know that the farmer wants to get
out Of debt rather than to get fur
Their into debt. But it is my opin-
ion that both these ends will be much
mere quickly accomplished through
this new system of agricultural
credits. ~~0

gress does not by any means meas
IRE the attention congress has given
during the past two years to the needs
Of agriculture. People who have not

Of WHAT HAS Been Done FOR farmer
takes Issue With Those Who Believe Too Mach Attention Has
Been Paid to Agricultural Interests by Republican Congress
and This administrations Serving the Farmer All Other
Interests Are Served.

At Hutchinson, Kansas, the heart &C
americas wheat belt, President Hard
ing made an accounting to the agricul-
tural interests of the United States OF
two years of Republican administra-
ton. In doing so, he said:
If the recital of this long list of
accomplishments in the farmers te-
half have seemed to suggest that
Washington has been devoting itself
with a special and perhaps a partial
assiduity to the agricultural interests
1 shall reply that the farmer has re-
celved nothing more than was COM
ing to him; nothing more than he
needed; nothing more than was good
for him, and nothing that was not
also good for all of our national inter
ests, bound up as they are in the ma

nished by the new agricultural credit
act. The president analysed this act
in detail, following which he said:
"There is thus created at last a
complete farm credit system which,
drawing together the aggregated re-
sponsibility of the greatest single in
dustry in the land, and of livestock,
warehOused and growing crops, all
kinds Of agricultural equipment; and,
finally, by the character and high re-
sponsibility of the men and women
who constitute the great agricultural
community, will be capable of fur
nishing the American farmers, for the
first time In the history of agricult-
r in any country, adequate invest
ment and working capital on terms as
favorable as those accorded to COM
merce and industry.
"Many people have been inclined to
be skeptical of benefits which might
follow the enactment of legislation to
give the farmer a better system of
credit. They have SAT- that the farm
