BANKERS MEET
WITH KANSAS
FARMERS
Better Farm Management
Urged by Head of
Association.
BY Cosmopolitan News Service.

MANHATTAN, Kansas, Feb. T.
Offering as the fundamental solu-
ton of agricultural difficulties the
management methods to farming,
Walter w. Head, president of the
American b a n k ers Association,
opened a conference of bankers and
farmers here today.
Agriculture differs from most
industries in its need for efficient
management" said Mr.. Head. "a
thousand capable managers might
direct the constituent parts of an
Industry employing an amount of
capital equal to that employed in
farming, with q product of equal
value. But. in the case of farm
Ing, with more than ten million
people employed, there must be

agers, each managing his own in.
Vestment-his own farm. The sue
cess of the industry depends upon
the ability Of innumerable man
ayers.
/ Economic Marketing.
"In addition to economical pro-
duction. the farmers prosperity de-
pends as well upon economical mar.
keting. 1t involves the raising of
products marketable as to quality
and as to quantity.
Ability to barter and trade, to
toresee probable future develop
ments, to finance the movement or
the storage Of a crop, courage to
take the action dictated by sound
Judgment, are merely a few Of the
naf 1fcff ne
The problems Of agriculture basic
ally are the same as Of business
generally. Intelligence, foresight,
courage, cooperation with and CO.
operation OF other business inter-
ests-these will bring satisfactory
results in agriculture, as in alf
other lines of business.
In the last few years there has
been change. Progressive farm
ers have realized the need for
adopting as their own some of the
principles which have been sue
cessful in other business activities.
The great, agric industry has
undergone and is undergoing a
transformation.
1--WE have heard much recently
about the plight OF the wheat
S'AAAASA' A14AO"AGCD VIC ILdN0 061EU
much about the fact that wheat,
agricultural output Of America, and
after all. is only part Of the
agricultural output of America
that it alone is but one of many
factors which, together, determine
the degree of agricultural pros
perity. Such consolation does not
recognize the fact that, to some
farmers-to many farmers-wheat
Is the one crop upon which their
prosperity depends.
Answer to Problem.
"Diversification is advocated as
the answer to this problem. The
fact is inescapably true that diversi.
fication relieves the damaging re-
suits Of a one-crop failure, either
makes the farmer Independent of
outside assistance or, where outside
loans are required. makes their
early payment easy. Bankers are
rating a farmers credit by diversi.
fication more than by the amount
of land he owns. Bankers do not
want to acquire farms by the fore
closure route. Bankers want their
loans repaid, because repayment
reflects the creation of new wealth
in the community and consequent
increased prosperity for everyone

notion OF remaining upon the
defensive indefinitely, of being fore
cd to fight a perpetual charge of
conspiracy.
Their attitude has real justif1ca-
ton in the fact that during a period
when the construction industries
have been enjoying a mild boom,
when demand for cement has been
keen, the earnings of the eastern
producers have on the average
never exceeded 1870 on the invested
capital, as returned for purposes of
the excess profits tax, whereas the
entire group of manufacturing cor
poratons reporting to the Bureau
of Internal Revenue for the lean
year 1921 show average profits on
invested capital of 1890, and con-
struction companies for the same
year show profits exceeding 1867.
The American consuming public
stands to gain, not to lose, by the
concurrence in every industry of
stable prices and moderate profits.
