Lie has a' invited the governors of all the '?rm states to a conference on this BePari subject when they meet in De- Prl8ni cember in their annual meeting dent i He claims that the farmers of Ne8 01 the United States are operating 'ow ^ on borrowed capital nearly ^ie ^ equal to their products. By a co-operative system the farmer 8^10w would save half the interest he ^ecoi: is now paying on this borrowed ^rora money. The plan is practiced ^onp: 1 in Europe and the money is let out at small interest, thus ena- t',e bling the farmer to Becure best '^le ^ methods of raising his crops.

What the farmers need is not r^8^n2 so much credit, but the ability a ver to live without it. In former of a'r days farmers were the money len ^ .I | ders of the country. Then there ne was no cry of high priced food. at a'^ What we need today is the inde- ltfl pendent farmer who makes his ^ own supplies and is never trou- 80,1 " bled by debts hanging over him. v?'ca Just at the close of the war wa8 hundreds of farmers lived hard, ^irovv some of them lor weeks had no neafl. meat of consequenca in their homes. They pull"d through 1',e (' and were getting on linelv till ^rom a 1 the lien law and easy credit wom fV A came and then they began to go 0 lC ' backward. w A negro ol that period was '^^'e asked by a white friend how he ^p?ln was getting on in the world. His evetl reply was : '-Boss, I'se doing monstrous well. I'se now living on a lien I dun give on next t',e 81 year's crop." more Hundreds of small white tar- l'c'e8 mers went down during that nse 1' lien period and lost their farms even , and homes. Easy credit was bad lor them and it is bad for ' any people. Men or corpora- ^eing tiony which lend money are going to have ample security and Wo demand the pay to the last cent. The hope ol the farmer is to get on a cash baeis and then Wood high-priced food will not trouble Cham him.
