Richmond, Va., Feb. ll.-South ern farmers must pay more attention to "corn cribs and smoke houses" and reduce overproduction-of cotton and tobacco this year. Gov. W. P. G. Harding of the federal reserve board, speaking before probably the largest and most brilliant financial gathering which has met in Ricnmond ? in years, declared in an address to light in the Commonwealth club, vhich fairly radiated with optimism ?S to the future. Governor Harding, who is here as :he guest of John Skelton Williams, ?omptrollcr of the currency, told a ?fathering which represented every inancial institution in the city and included with two exceptions, the 'ederal reserve board, that/the peak >f inflation was past and that there v?s no reason to look to the future vith any other view than optimism. "I have great faith in the Ameri-j ?a? people when they assert them .elves," Governor Harding declared, ifter telilng his audience that the 'mental intoxication which the pub ic has been suffering is wearing off." Price fluctuations must be stabi ized, declared the speaker, and this s one of the many problems which till face the bankers of the coun ry. He told the bankers that each hould make up his mind that it Was tis individual business to help bring onditions back to normal. He ad rised all to pull together and restore he equilibrium of the country. At present a "buyers' market" ex sts, Governor Harding told his audi nce, the reverse of what has exist :d in the past few months.
