, THE COUNTRY DOCTOR f
?
Mecklenburg county, N. C., wh'iclt *
4
includes the city of Charlotte, is now, ^
without a single doctor outside the ^
cities and towns. There are four coun- s
ties in Massachusetts now without fi
.
fiy doctors. o
There are several explanations for ^
this. One is changed living condi
tions, including the building of good
. ii > i
roads and the use of automobiles and cj
telephones. A physician may live in tl
a city or town, keep a telephone and cl
^ ~{t
: -; an automobile, and visit his patients 15
for miles around.
' p<
But the real reason, perhaps, is C[
that the country doctor, as people ti
used to know him, is passing. This is m
'
a day of. specialization, with physi- cc
cians as well as with everybody else.
The general practitioner will soon be
' m
a thing of the past In his stead there
will be specialists in nervous diseases,
I" stomach diseases, eye, ear and nose
diseases, and so on. Indeed, we have to
-?
^ almost reached that point nojv. TJ
? . r The physician who is not a special*
ist in some particular disease must ^
be at least a diagnostician. He can
-' tell you what is the matter with you, us
c *
and tell what specialist to consult, sy.
;VThe doctor who used to treat all dis- T*
eases, and with fair success and, if
need be, furnish all the * medicines ^
f, * needed, will soon be known to the ne
world no more. fo

Herbert Hoover, in a speech in

Boston the other day, gave utterance ^
some plain truths which must ap- wo

evel* political persuasion. He dis- pu'
cussed the industrial and financial
situation of the world in general and is
in this, country in particular at some js
length, and wound up with the fol- or

best cure for all depression is courage '^ai
and appl'ed intelligence and the re- cGx
turn to the primary virtues of hard, fe*
conscientious toil and economy in mv

thit the vast majority of our re6
whole nation is making an effort ****
again in these directions, equaled qu:
only by that of 1918. While our re- '
cover? may be slower than some .may di*
expect, nothing can prevent the pro^_ it \
perity of a country where the peo- ore
pie have enlightenment, the wish to the
work, the wish to produce, and the wh
wish to do right by their neighbors, bot

we must be inspired by the knowl- or
edge that we ire increasing and defending

make our nation great." wo'
This is about the most statesman- ^Te
like utterance that we have read in
some time. It is inspirational. ^e

SEES NEED FOR NEW
FARM CREDIT PLAN
Anderson of - Congerssional Commission,
Favors Permanent
Agency.
Washington, Sept. 2.?Permanent
agencies should be established
to provide ^ credit, running from six
months to three years, for farmers'
poduction and marketing purposes to
fill the gap between short and long
credits furnished by existing banking
systems, Chairman Anderson of the
Congressional commission? investigating
agricultural conditions declared
today in a statement. There is "immediate,
imperative and conclusive
necessity of setting ui> permanent
r * *
nachinery," he said. .
Tfhe. proposed credit, the statement
(aid, must be of such character as toj
:onform to the'^ fanners' turnover'
rtd of sufficient flexibility to meethe
varied requirement of different
o&fities and different commodities,
it. Anderson contended the credit
hould be extended "for a time sufcient
to enable payment to be made
iit of the earnings of the farm,
rithout frequent renewals which add
> the expense of the borrower in
ees and commissions.
Declaring that machinery o{ suffi- ,
ient scope can be established only (
irough . federal legislation, the ,
laimnan held that once established, {
should be self-sustaining, and i
lould require no government sup- i
>rt except possible for the initial j
ipital required to put it in opera- (
on. A system established by such (
achinery, he continued, " must'be t
rmprehensively enough to meet the ^
>quirement8 not only of the large (
rmer, borrower, but the small far- t
er borrower with limited assets. 4
. > ' ; t. 1
'There aire two essentials of such r
credit machine,* the statement a
id. "The first essential is an agency $
deal directly with the farmers. (
iese agencies should be sufficient- t
numerous to ipeet the , requireents
of every locality, of every j
mmodity of every farmer. Two i;
encies now exist which might be
ed as the point of contact of the
stem with the farmer borrower.
iese agencies are the commercial
nks (State and National,) and the rm
loan associations as now estaib- |
hed under the farm loan act. A' |
w agency might be created in the f
rm of cooperative credit aesocia- f
in, built upon lines similar to the f
rm loan associations. r
The second essential is an agency r
lich can convert a large number of r
all ofoligatons of the farmers into p
art-time debentures or other ?
sdit obligations, which can (be sold ?
the investing pu/blic. In other
irds, it is necessary to* have an
ency through which the investing ?
blic can be reached. I
"The character o^'btfth agencies
largely dependent upon whether it 1
proposed to have the debentures ?
securities absorbed by the de- |
jit pool, represented by the de- [
?ts of the national and State J
nks, and the liquid assets of the f
intry, or by the investment pool, F
>resenting the credit, ordinarily f
ested in long time securities. s
"There is, in my judgment, no ?
ison why both pools cannot (be twn
upon for the proper credit re- ;
irements of the farmer.
'In setting up thie agency to deal I
m
?uy wnn tne larmer borrower, j J
is desirable to use the primary J
dit.agencies already existing.and I
re would seem to Ibe no reason I
y it should not ibe possible to use I
;h the commercial ibanks (State |
i national! and the farm loan as- J
iations. J
'In like manner, in order to set |
the agency to distribute farm J
dit to the investing public, wheth- v
IT) fVio ?" 1 "
vuv ukviiu vi txic origins I ODIi- H
;ion or in the form of debentures jf
other securities, it may be pos- 9
le to use (both the farm loan banks "I
1 the federal reserve banks." Jj
Dn completion of its Inquiry, the ?|
amission, Mr. Anderson predicted, U
uld be alble to recommend to Con- U
ss "a definite concrete plan," |
ich, he added, would "compliment |
credit facilities now offered J
ough the farm loan and the feder- jj
reserve systems," and "would jj

st comprehensive and flexible |
