PAGE SIX BETTER CONDITIONS \ DEMANDED BY PEOPLE: < ( Those Living in Country Form- 1 ing Backbone of the 1 Nation i < CREDIT UNIONS BETTER CONDITIONS Much That Has Been Accom plished During the Last ? Few Years. Calling attention to the things v/hich have been done during the last few years the improvement of agriculture and the betterment of rural life, David F. Houston, Secretary of Agriculture, in his annual report for 1919, expresses the op; 11 ion that among the other steps which should bo taken are following: (1) The building up, primarily un- j dor State law, of a system cf person- j al credit unions, especially for the j l-onofit of farmers whose financial status and scale of operations make it difficult for them to secure accommodations through the ordinary channels. (2) Expansion of existing facilities and activities for aiding farmi rs in marketing, including especially the extension of the market news and food products inspection services, an 1 the assignment of trained market specialists to each State, in cooperation with the State authorities, to stimulate cooperative enterprises and to make helpful suecresticns as to! plans and methods. (3) Continuation of the present policy of Federal participation in road building, through the appropriation if the financial condition of the Nation permits it, of $100,000,000 for at least each of the four years beginning with the fiscal year 1922, to be expended under the terms of existing legislation. (4) The regulation and control of stockyards and packing houses. (5) Federal legislation further to protect consumers against misbrand- | ed, adulterated, and worthless feeds entering into interstate commerce. (0) Similar legislation dealing with fertilizers. (7) Increased support by States for 1 rural schools and more definite dircc- I tion of their instruction along lines J related to rural problems and conditions. (8) The requisite legislation for the improvement of the sanitary conditions in rural districts and for the building up of the needed hospital and medical facilities. Need for Broad Rural Survey. "Present conditions, and particularly present states of mind," says the Secretary, "indicate the need of a fresh, broad survey of rural life, of its special problems, and of its relationships. Tt should be viewed as a whole. A comprehensive flexible program should be developed for the guidance of the different agencies, each of which has its peculiar functions and responsibilities.

V BBBBMBrnMiMiM ' * Nation as a whole needs a fuller appreciation of its basis industry and a more definite sense of direction of its efforts to foster it. Many agencies are now following more or less welltie fined, helpful plans of their own devising, but these are at best piecemeal, and there is confusion of leadership and objectives. A program made by any one element would be partial and unsatifactory. We should have a meeting of minds of all those directly concerned, of farmers, of agricultural leaders, and of business men. "The President has already indicated his intention to call a conferenc2 at which there will be not only a generous representation of farmers but also of agricultural agencies and organizations and of business interests which have an intimate relation to tarm problems. 1 believe that because of changed conditions here and elsewhere, of existing uncertainties, and of disturbed states of mind this conference should be called at the earliest possible date. It may be that as one outcome of it the creation of a rural life commission, with a temporary or a permanent status, will be determined to be in the public interest. Certainly, the best means of fostering our basic industry can not tco frequently receive definite consideration by the best minds of the Nation." Achievements in Agriculture. The past five or six years, Mr. Houston says, have been especially fruitful of legislation and administrative action in matters looking to the improvement of production an ! distribution. He cites definitely the t'ol 1 <>wing ; chievemcnts: (1) The Bureau of Markets, oxcelling in the character and extent of its activities any other similar existing organization. (2) The cooperative agricultural extension act, the object of which is to disseminate information among the farmers, mainly through trained pgents. As has been indicated, there is now expended annually from Federal, State, and local sources more than $14,000,000 for work contemplated by this act. .(3) The cotton-futures act, with 1 A ? A 1 * amendments, unaer tne provisions or which standards for cotton have been established, the operations of the futui es exchanges supervised, and the sale of cotton put on a firmer basis. (4) The grain-standards act, which aims to bring about uniformity in the grading of grain, enables the farmer to obtain a fairer price for his product and afford him a financial incentive to raise better grades of grain.

It has conduced to the establishment of more effective highway machinery in each State and strongly influenced the development of good raad building along right lines. It will stimulate larger production and better mar keting, promote a fuller and more attractive rural life, add greatly to ihe convenience and economic welfare of all the people, and strengthen the national foundations. (7) The Federal reserve act, which authorized national banks to lend money on farm mortgages and recognized the peculiar needs of the farm ci givivng his paper a period of maturity of six months. (8) The Federal farm loan act, which created a banking system reaching intimately into the rural districts and operating on terms suited to the farmer's needs. It is attract ing more capital into agricultural operations, bringing about a reduction of interest to farmers, and placing upon the market mortgages which ore safe investments for private funds. (9)The vocational education act, which, among other things, provides for cooperation with the States in training t.onrhf?r? nf inrriMilfuro nnd in giving agricultural instruction to pupils in secondary schools.
