The first ONE PRIME NEED ~y IS GOOD CREDIT For All of the Farmers of This Great Country of Ours POINTS OUT FIELD FOR FINANCIAL AID / Agriculture Offers Safe Rci turns in the Long Run as - Time Has Proved. Agricultural credit properly ap*p!?cd is the soundest credit, and yet -* agricultural credit has received the least thought of financiers, said Clarence Ou; ley, Assistant Secretarv of Agriculture in welcoming to its conference in Washington February 2(5 the agricultural committee cf * the American Hankers' Association. No greater public service, he said, can be rendered to the United States and to the general welfare of all the people than mastery of the problem arid leadership in work toward supplying the prime need of farmers. "For my part, and I am sure for the other officers of the Department of Agriculture, I assure you that you are not only welcome, but we are grateful for your .coming." said Mr. Ousley. "The Department of Agriculture not only endeavors to dir.. seminafce information, hut it seeks ii.formation, and especially it seeks counsel in order that it may wisely discharge its great responsibilities. While we hope to give you something, we hope also to receive much. Agricglture Recognized. "ft is significant of a new state- of mind among financiers that representatives of the American Bankers' Association and of the several State associations should meet in Washing ton in order to get into more inti* irate touch witli the Department of Agriculture. It signifies first, that agriculture is a fundamental thing which concerns everybody. Second, that it deserves in the common interest the best thought of the wisest mcTv'in all vocations.

A i : i iariy, uio systematic una ceonoinicni financial accommodation which has worked out for nearly every othet br.aincss, but which is sadly lacking in the agricultural business'." "Somehow those engaged in farming have in large part neglected the business side of their business. It almost seems sometimes that the talent and the taste for production, foi tilling the soil, and caring for animals arc incompatible with the faculties which make for business success. This is not to say that there are no successful farmers* for there are many, nor that agriculture is not an inviting business, for it never offered such attractive opportunities to the man who is content to acquire a competence as distinguished from ti e man whose greed is never satisfied. "On the other hand, there seems I i to be a notion among those not engaged in agriculture, but who are fed and clothed by its products, that the farmer is under a moral obligation to produce so abundantly that his products will be cheap. Indeed, much of the patronizing attitude which many people nowadays a; oumc toward agriculture is inspired by no nobler motive than the desire to reduce the cost of living, half of the impulse of the urban cry o? 'Back lo the farm!' is nothing less than a selfish albeit, and unconsciously selfish, desire to encourage other people to engage in the hard work and to endure the isolation of country life in order that urban dwellers may live sumptuously at small expense. I have reason to know* that lb* members of this group enter!,, n r.c such foolish notions. You have given concrete evidence of your appieciation of the practical problem of agriculture by the substantial aid you have rendered, and you arc hero now to gather information that will enable you to render further aid. 1 shall not anticipate the lectures you aic to hear irom responsiole oilicers and experts of the department concerning the several undertakings of importance for the year 19J9. I wish only to emphasize an oustanding fact which has strangely escaped the observation of most financiers. Farming Returns Sure. "On the average of years agriculture is the surest basis of credit.

I "For these reasons, 1 hold that < aqriciiltu ill credit properly applied i ; the soundest credit, and yet agric ltura! e *edit has received the least ; thought of financiers. I trust this is rt sufficient basis for the suggestion that agricultural credit offers an at- ; tractive fold for constructive thinking and acting by experts of finance, and that money wisely invested in agricultural credit will be safely and profitably returned. "I am speaking now of operating credit, which is the credit furnished b\ the bank, as distinguished from irvestment credit. In many communities which draw their principal support from agriculture, the man who deals in the farmer's products or sells the farmer his supplies enjoys a cheaper rate of interest and more generous accomodations than the producer enjoys. In many such I communities the farmer's operating ! credit is furnished by the merchant. Thus, in agriculture tlie fundamentai j business of producing the material All foods are flavc palatable.

If agriculture is, as I affirm, a sound i >r\r?is of credit, then the honest and ndustrioiu; producer should receive I generous accommodation. 1 "The disadvantage which the far- ; ner .suffers is not, I am sure, the esult of purposeful discrimination, mt it is none the less discrimination, md it produces in many instances a i 'celing of despair which disheartens effort to practice better business ncthods. Encouraging Ownership. "While our new system of land iredit is affording much relief to hose who have farm property to imrcov? ar.d those who have some capiat with which to buy, it should be .mdc rstood that the great class of tenant producers arc without property or capital. Their need is operat- j ag credit in order that they may produce economically, and in order that they may acquire something with .vh'ch to purchase farms. If we are to help the la vdlcss to acquire land ye- inn 't prov'dc a better system of operating agricultural credit for the intelligent and the industrious who, in many parts r f the best farming regions of the United Stat?s, despair :>/ ownership becau.te of the hard con ditions which T hnvn /!? ?./ IKcl Ac every boy is a potential man and will bo a strong man or a weak man accordingly as ho ir, nurtured, so every tenant is a potential owner and he will become a substantial success or a derelict accordingly as opportunities arc provided. "The only hope of a reinforced and abundant agriculture is a profitable I agriculture which young men will seek as they seek other vocations that promise substantial reward, and as the day of cheap land has passed the prime necessity of multiplying farm home ownership is financial accomodation and sound business practice for worthy young men In order that they may acquire the initial capital for farm purchases. There is no greater public service tnat can be rendered to the United States and to the general welfare of all the people than the mastery of this problem and the leadership in this activity." o Barnwell County farmers have nil drrivl t.r> r*nf 11V n1.1? 1 ,0v <- v< J. i i?. i v;o i i v/i 11 mi'ir 1018 cotton acreage. \ , \ \ p ||||k i>wr li ^ ; Nose ^ : Knows" i >red to make them tobaccos are treated or the same reason.
