THE FARMER'S NEW POSITION By WALTER W. HEAD. First Vice-Prenldent American Bankers Association The farmer today Is more than a tiller of the soil. He is a business man. Raising crops la only a part of

his business, if he Is a real up-to-date Twentieth Century farmer. Problems of marketing, distribution and financing are equally important. The complexity of our modern economic organization makes it necessary for the farmer to

understand and assist in solving these problems if he is to succeed. In this new role —as a business man —the farmer steadily has advanced to a better position. There was a time when the farmer was dependent wholly upon private marketing agencies, whose interest aas not always identical with his own, whose greed for profits sometimes out matched consideration of the farmer's need. Today there are many great co-operative marketing organizations that handle a large part of the farmer’s crop and win for him more liberal treatment from the private agencies which still handle the bulk of his production. Today the farmer also has his own co operative agencies of credit. If not satisfied with the terms upon which his local capitalist is willing to advance money upon a land mor’gage, the farmer can go directly to the Federal Land Bank, which, by reason of tax-exemption and other advantages incidental to its governmental character, can loan money at a rock-bot-tom rate of interest. In addition, the federal government has established another group of banks which permit the local bankers —by rediscount privileges —to extend the farmer credit for his current operations on a more favorable basis than ever before. If he thinks his local bank Is not sufficiently responsive to his need, this same legislation enables him to join with other farmers in a cooperative marketing association and arrange for credit direct from the government banks. New Credit Facilities For years it has been the farmer's complaint—with considerable justification —that he, alone of all producers, has been forced to market his crop on the buyer’s terms because of his inability to use his products, in storage. as a basis for credit. Today the agricultural credits act authorizes the acceptance of warehouse receipts, on non-perishable agricultural products, as collateral for loans, the sanfte as in the case of sugar or other commodities of commerce. These developments have relieved the farmer from what seemed to be persecution by short-sighted, tlghfisted, grasping grain dealers, landlords and bankers —for there were some bankers who were guilty of this very thing, who thought of the farmer principally as a weak and ignorant opponent in a game whose only stake was the collection of a high rate of Interest. The farmer's suspicion of the banker arose because of misunderstanding. because he judged bankers as a class by the derelictions of a few. Today, with these sources of govern-ment-controlled credit available at his call, the farmer cannot charge or even suspect that the bankers are conspiring to do him harm. As the real farmer has taken advantage of these opportunities, he has made himself a business man. Like other successful business men. he is equipped with credit to finance his operations, he is able to make use of labor-saving machinery, he Is able to barter with buyers of his products as their equal. COMPULSORY THRIFT In Kansas a group of power and telephone companies Is trying a compulsory thrift plan, which affects about 1,200 employees and applies to every member of the organization from the president to the humblest day laborer. The plan requires that each shall save and invest monthly at least 10 per cent of his Income. Every month each employee must make a report to the general office of how much he has saved, and In what he has Invested it. The investment 1 must be approved by a committee competent to advise. Government se- , cudties, savings bank accounts, build- j ing and loan stock, payment on a home, even payments on furniture are I allowed. If debts have been incurred, these must be listed and payments may be arranged on them, but no more are to be assumed. The idea is to make the employee live within his means and also lay aside something in a definite form. Reports for the first nine months show that about 13 per cent of the wages have been saved, no single employee falling below 10 per cent. This amounts to over SIOO,OOO. Failure to report or to save brings dismissal, but in only two instances among the l,2Cv employees was such action needed. Budget books afe distributed and their use explained as a helpful method in establishing a working scale of living that will allow for thrift.

MARKETS-STOCKS Daily Report of Local and Foreign Markets Grain Review Chicago. Aug. 16—Grain prices were fractionally higher at the opening on the Chicago Board of Trade todav. Unfavorable crop news and strong cables created a bullish sentiment in wheat trading at the outset. On the bulge, however, some realizing was met. The prevalence of coal weather over the greater part of the Canadian northwest is expected to further retard plant growth especially in districts where fields are not yet ripe. Rece'pts 370 cars. Higher Liverpool spot prices and unfavorable weahter brought advances in corn. R. O. Cromwell, wiring from the best corn district in owa. declared the crop in that area needs six weeks to mature.
