The money received irom uiu ?ui?
these bonds will then be reinvested the
same as the original capital stock and
the same operation can be repeated
until the amount of bonds issued by
the corporation is equal to ten times
the capital stock.
The bill provides that these bonds
shall be exempt from taxation to the
same extent and in the same'way that
the bonds issued by the War Finance
board, are now exempt.
In my judgment, the enactment of
the bill into law will result in a market
for American farm products at a
profit to the American farmer.
The Atnerican farmer is entitled to
the use of this much Federal money
because, in the operation of the grain
corporation there was a net profit of
60 or 70 million dollars, all of which
has been paid into the treasury of the
United States and every dollar of
which was contributed by the grain
growers of the country.
In addition lo this it is expected that
the corporation will operate on a safe
margin, and in doing this there probably
will result a profit in its operation.
The bill provides that the original
capital stock contributed by the government,
together with all profits
thereon,, shall, .when the, affairs of the
corporation are wound up, be paid in
to the treasury of the United Slates.

and the Shipping Board is directed to
utilize some of its ships that are not
in use for the purpose of carrying- the
products across the ocean at the cost
of operation.
It "is expected that purchasing corporations
will be formed in the various
countries of Europe where they are in
need ofl these products, particularly,
Poland, Czechoslovakia, Belgium and
Germany.
I have been assured by representatives
of foreign nations that there will
be no difficulty or delay in organizing
co-operative institutions, the obligations
of which in turn be guaranteed
by organizations of banks, and. in some
instances the guaranty will be further
indorsed by . the government under
which the organizations are formed.
It is intended that the agricultural
corporation organized under the bill,
will sell products to such foreign organizations,
on time, upon such obligations
thus guaranteed as are in the
judgment of the board of directors ample
security.
These securities will be held by the
corporation and on the strength of
them, the corporation will issue its debenture
bonds, at a rate of interest
that will enable them to be sold in this
country at par.

The bill, in effect, provides for a
middleman between the producer in
America and the 'consumer in Europe.
It follows the legislation of congress
in creating the .War Finance
corporation, under which the manufactured
products of America have
been sold in foreign mtrkets, and if
enacted, would do for American agriculture
what the War Finance corporation
did for American manufacturers
The corporation would deal only in !
farm products. It would have a capital
of $100,000,000 (double the original
suggestion)- subscribed by Lhe government
of the United States. The secretary
of agriculture would be chairman
of the corporation and the other
four members of the board of directors
would be appointed by the president
and confirmed by the senate.
1 The corporation would be empowered
to buy farm products from producers
and associations of producers,
and It is expected that It would work
through the farm organizations and
co-operation with them.

NORRIS HAS A WAY
Pian by Which Europe Can Buy
American Farm Products.
The bill which I have introduced is
intended to provide a method by which
farm products in Amierica can be sold
in foreign markets, writes Senator
George Norris, of Nebraska.
We are confronted, with a condition j
here to dispose of their products for a
price that will pay the actual cost of;
production. In Europe there are mil- j

VALLEY OF THE RUHR
Busiest Centre of European Industrial
Activity.
BASIS OF GERMAN WEALTH AND POWER
Many Mighty Cities Grouped Together.
In Smalt Compass?District Only
About Ten Miles Wide by Forty I
Miles Long?Home of the Krupp Gun
Works.
The Ruhr valley of western Germany
at the mouth of which Allied soldiers
have been encamped for several months
and the complete seizure of which by
France was barely averted by Germa
ny's eleventh hour acceptance ol tnei
Allied reparations ultimatum, is the!
subject of the following bulletin issued j
from the Washington, D. C.,(hcadquar- j
tors, of the National Geographic Soci- I
cty:
"The Ruhr river is an inconspicuous
stream, hardly more than a hundred
miles long, with little volume of walcr,
and navigable even with the aid of its
eleven locks for n distance of only 43
miles. But its valley and the rolling
country to the north for a few miles, to
which it has given its name, is a region
of concentrated Industrialism. There,
in a district roughly 40 by 10 miles, has
been developed the greatest coal production
in Europe. And with iron
ore available from the nearby former
'German Lorraine,' and Luxemburg,
there sprang up the industry of fnbrlca\lng
iron and steel which went fur- |
ther perhaps than any other activity I
toward building up the mighty German I
empire of 1913 and gave a literal sig
nificancc to Bismarck's ideal cf a coun- I
try of 'blood and iron.'
Railroads Show Ruhr's Importanco.
"One could pick out the oval of the
Ruhr region on a map of Germany by
its railroads. Germany's steel highways
form a relatively close net-work
over the entire country, but in the
Ruhr region the lines draw together
into a fine screen showing unmistakably
the hive of industry that this district
has come to be.
"The solar plexus of the Ruhr dis- !
trict is Essen, known far nnd wide as!
the home of great Krupp's gun and ar- |
morplate factories. In prominent places j
in the city stand statues to Bismarck
and Alfred Krupp?the man who laid
the foundations for Germany's powerful
fighting machine, and the man who
equipped it and became tremendously
wealthy in the process. Krupp really
made Essen almost as truly as the
TTrLed States Steel corporation made
Gary, Indiana. The toWn was founded |
in the Oth century, but as late as 18:14 1
it was little more than a village of 10.- j
50M inhabitants. Before the World war
it had grown to be a city of 300,000 and j.
of these nearly 50.000 were employed I
in the Krupp woiks. From 1014 to^
1918 when Germany was putting forth i
every effort to produce more and more I
war supplies, the population of Essen
had a war addition of 100,000 or more.
"With the development of Essen as a
steel and iron center hundreds of other
establishments joined the Krupps until
the environs of the city arc now a forest
of chimneys. Near Essen, too, arc
many coal pits.
Eig Cities Elbow One Another.
"But wrile Essen is the center of 'the
Ruhr,' it by no means monopolizes its
business. Big cities arc tliinek in this
area. Entering the reffion at Duisburg,

TO HELP COTTON GROWERS.
(Continued From rage One.)
Asia arc In pressing need of cotton
goods. The people of these countries
hayc lands, forests, mines and mills,
and an Industrious population, and a
great, basis of credit can be arranged
whereby the people of these countries
fan secure our cotton.
"Investigation brings to light th^
fact that American mills; particularly
In the north, have -only from 10 to
:!0 per cent, of the supply of raw cot
ton on Hand that tney naa on nanci ai
the same time last year. Ih addition
to this, the amount, of raw cotton with .
foreign mills is stnrtllngly short. As
an illustration, the Dominion Textile
company, of Montreal, Canada which
last year had $4,497,000 worth of cotton
on hand, has cut its stock down
to $357,000. Finished cotton goods in
like manner, have been startlingly
reduced from the shelves of the retailer
on up, as compared with the same
period of last year.
. "The request made by the cotton
conference for a rediscount rate exceeding
5 per cent, on commercial and
agricultural paper, and for renewal
of agricultural loans, socalled frozen
assets, until the markets can be opened,
and for more liberal extension of
credits, to ena '*; the producer to produce,
and the uggestion of the utilization
of the funds from cotton which
was seized during the War Between
the Sections, for the purpose mentioned,
has met with the approval of leading
congressmen and senators for
many sections of the nation, and
steps are now being taken for the enactment
of the necessary measures
that will make all of this effective.
"Leading- statesmen and* business
men from various sections of the nation
are actively behind this movement
for relieving the cotton producing
industry. They take the position
that cotton is the greatest national
product of America, and that
unless relief is speedily extended the
fearful loss on the 1920 crop of two
billions of dollars will seriously cripple
every line of industry and commerce
in the nation and greatly, reduced
production in all lines."
