Lower interest. lower freights and
lower taxes are three main needs OF
the farmers. John NJ. Flanagan de-
clared yesterday on returning TO
Omaha from a tour Of Nebraska. Mr..
Flanagan. who is a former member
Of the Nebraska Bankers association,
il now serving as head OF the War
Finance Agency at Helena. Mont.
There is a more conservative atti-
tuds among the. western farmers
now" he said a Today trip through
Nebraska has shown me that the land
situation. which Is popularity supposed
10 be demoralized. has never been
bad. The Nebraska farmers are alb
sorbing the declines. There are few
chattei marriages. foreclosures and
only the normal land foreclosures.
Interest payments are prompt. and
country treasurers say taxes are be-
ing paid in good order. I look for a
good year in 1924.
''The War Finance corporation,
which lent $4,000. 900 in Nebraska,
has now only $500 900 out. Farmers
generally regard II as remarkable
institution-there has never been a
lawsuit or n mortgage foreclosure un'
der war finance loans, and liquida'
tion has been orderly but not forced.
Mr.. Flanagan expressed the belief
that corn and wheat prices should be
higher. and said that the proposed
tariff increase on imported wheat is
receiving strong support. In Mon
tana the lumber and mining indus
tries are normal. but wheat growers
have made no money for several
years. High freight rates and the
cost Of production have caused the
downfall OF wheat growers" he said.
