BANKER-FARMER
COOPERATION
Many Conferences and Practical
Measures Are Bettering
Farm Situation From
Ground lip.

The merits of intermediate and
longtime agricultural credit now
available. organization and co-opera-
ton of producers for balanced pro
duction, and orderly marketing are
the chief topics of discussion at many
banker.farmer conferences being held
in various parts of the country with
the assistance of the American Bank
ers Association.
At a Texas Agricultural College
meeting representatives of agricul'
tural and livestock associations
agreed that there is no such thing as
over-production, and that every in
crease in production should raise the
standard of living higher. They saw
need for the organization of producers
for balanced production and orderly
marketing to relieve the stress in
agriculture, with credit provided OF
sufficient time to cover farm and
ranch turnover.
Legislation Not Wanted
Further legislative action was not
considered appropriate. In fact. there
was actual opposition to further gov
eminent action to assist in economic
adjustment, everyone there being in
complete accord that conditions were
propitious as far as existing institu-
tons were concerned to raise the
farmer and stockman to a proper
economic place in the business world.
The establishment of the Inter
mediate Credit Bank was declared to
be the last step in the provision of
necessary agencies of credit, while
sufficient opportunity for cooperation
exists in present organizations.
The Agricultural Commission OF the
American Bankers Association was
described as a mean Of cooperation
between bankers and farmers and its
work explained in bringing bankers

velop increased helpfslness.

Mr.. Stuart then showed how the

made low. 1t is 5 cents per kilo.
vat hour for the first 80 kilowatt
hours, and 3 cents per kilowatt hour
for the excess.
Under these rates it develops that
the farmer who seeks TO secure electric
energy solely for electric lights and
nothing else has necessarily and un.
avoidably taken on an expensive propo.
sition. But, if he uses electric energy
FOR various other purposes, so that his
total consumption increases, and
thereby the benefit resulting from the
electric energy on his farm also pre-
sumably increases, it becomes worth
while. The reason for this was shown
by an imaginary case. worked out
by Mr.. Stuart.
Cost Per Kilowatt Hour Decreases
1t assumed that a farmer used 90
kilowatt hours per month, at the
energy rate established for the Red
Wing line. This would cost him the
fixed charge of $3.50 plus 81 for the
energy. a total of $3.50. or 1915 cents
per kflowatt hour. But II he used so
kilowatt hours per month. his total
bill would amount to only 50. or Is
