Secured Concession
Before excavation was started sev-
ersl months ago, Lord Carnarvon, an
eminent British archeologist, secured
q concession from the newly estab-
lished Egyptian government.
Carnarvon, il seems, agreed that anv
tomb which contained a royal mummy
entered by robbers should remain the
property of the Egyptian government
Then Carnarvon and Howard Car

thirty-three years in Egyptian re

But pressure may be brought to
bear by the British government to
cause Egyptian officials to modify
their stand. In that case, some of
Tutankhamen's treasures may find
their way into American museums.

material was finely ground before

The owner of the farm had pre-
viously sold his wheat "in the dirt"
at his local elevator and had received
nothing for the foreign material in
the grain. Moreover he had been
compelled to use high-prised oats and
other grains for feed for his live
stock. By cleaning his grain and
grinding the dockage IN 1921, he OBJ
tanned fairly good feed at practically
no cost.
Another inducement to clean grain
on the farm is that clean grain will
usually bring a higher price in the
market than grain which contains
dockage," Mr.. Black says.

FINANCIAL and BUSINESS SURVEY

The operation of the federal re-
serve system accordingly has made
available for the farmer customers of
member banks a vast reservoir d
credit previously non-existent or b.
yond their reach. The fact that most
of the state banks have not become
members Of the system, from choice
or because of lack of qualification, has
greatly restricted the proportion of
the aggregate agricultural bank loans
which may be discounted by federal
reserve banks. Moreover the range
of maturity of eligible agricultural
paper is regarded in many quarters
as too narrow.
The needs of farmers for long!
term loans have not been overlooked.
The federal farm loan act of 1915
provided for the establishment of y
regional federal land banks. Loans
running for not more than 40 years
and not less than five years are MADE
OF the security Of first mortgages on
farm land through national farm loan
associations of ten or more farmers
each, or through specified agents. The
maximum loan to an individual is
$4,000, and the maximum interest
which may be charged on loans is 6
per cent, but in no case is the rate to
exceed by more thais I per cent the
rate paid on the last issue of bonds
for raising funds to be loaned.
Besides, the federal land banks, the
act permits the establishment of joint
stock land banks and authorizes them
to lend directly to borrowers on farm
mortgage security and to issue farm
loan bonds. The number of these
banks, 81 in November, 1922, was
more than doubled in the last year.
The War Finance Corporation, a
government institution, has rendered
considerable financial aid to the bust
ness of farming. Its powers were
broadened by the Agricultural Credits
Act Of August, 1921. 1t was author
lied not only to finance the carrying
of agricultural products until thew
could be exported or sold for export
in an orderly manner but to make adj

poses; that is, for purposes connect

of livestock.

1t is the opinion not only of farm
ers but of competent students Of NAV
keting problems, that in the distribu-
ton of farm products there is an ex-
cessive duplication of middlemen, with
a .tendecy to depress unduly prices
paid the producehs and to raise the
costs to consumers. Also successive
percentage increases in freight rates
have brought about a relationship be-
tween the rates on raw commodities
and those on finished products which,
many farmers believe, represents dis
proportionately heavy costs of a
keting their products.
But with or without additional ai1s
to orderly marketing, and apart from
the question of relative freight rates,
there are important problems IF
credit with reference both TO the pro-
duction and the marketing of agri-
cultural products, states the current
issue of the Guaranty News, published
by the Guaranty Trust Company Of
New York.
The kinds of credit which farmers
seek are various, the Survey says.
Many of their needs can be met by
short-term loans for periods of not
more than six or nine months. Much
of this borrowing meets the ordinary
requirements Of commercial banking.
On the other hand, there is a large
field for lOng-term borrowing of the
investment kind. intermediate be-
tween these are credit needs whose
periods range from about one to three
years. Each of these classes of cred
it demands has all along been met in
some degree by one or another ageu-
cy, but often at unnecessarily high
cost to the borrowers, which a better
Indignation of the credit machinery
might obviate.
The first practical effect of the
discussion of rural credit problems IN
the period between the panic of 1907
and the outbreak of the World War,
in the form of legislation to provide
new credit facilities for farmers on
a national scale, came with the pas
sage of the federal reserve act In
1913. The law made agricultural pa
per, that is, notes, drafts and bills OF
exchange, drawn or issued for agri-
cultural purposes or based on live
stock, with a maturity not exceeding
six months, eligible for discount by
federal reserve banks, subject to the
further definition of the character OF
such eligible paper by the federal re-
serve board. Other eligible paper was
restricted to a maturity of not exceed
ing 80 days. Thus. the law specific
ally recognized the difference be-
tween acceptable maturities for ag-
r~icultural paper on the one hand and
industrial ane commercial paper on
tie other.
