OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS RURAL CREDIT FOR MlN‘NESQTA. 'As told in detail on another page, Soath Dakota has demon- strated the feasibility of a state rural credit system. The need of such a system is too evident to admit of any argument what- ever. Financing agriculture is of equal importance with that of railroads and other bills of busimess; it is vital to_the develop- ment and prosperity of tbe countr_y. 5 The federal farm loan act was a spleridid and fimely piece £ legislation. While somewhat belated it is a move in the right direction. At present the federal land banks have sus- pended further loans, pending a tachnical decision as'to ghe legality*of certain phases of the act. Rut even when working in full force, it is impossible for the federal loan system*alone to meet the urgent needs of farmers for long-time credit.. The system, too, .is complicated ~with couasiderable /redl tape and European ideas. That farmers prefer.a simpler plan is shown by the fact that while the Federal Land’ bank of Omaha has loaned in South Dakota $8,193,250, the rural credit, board of that state, during this same‘time, has loaned $30,000,000.° There is need, therefore, of simplitying, reorganizing and broadening the scope of the federal system. But in addition there should be a well grganized state system in every state working in close co-operation with the Federal Land banks. ‘Furthermore, it-would,seem the part of wisdom to loan federal money tlrough State organizations direct to individual farmers with first mortgage as security. State rural credit systems are an inevitable need and in no state is such a system needed more than in Minnesota. Minnesbta is a big state, full of undeveloped possibilities. Mil- lions of acres remain uncleared, millions more undrained. When local banks, out of the bigness of their hearts, loan money for such enterprises, it is at 7 per cent or more and on'six months’ time. Mortgages are made for five years at the”outside. It is unfair as well as a short-sighted policy to leave the future development of the state in the\ hands of individual farmers, 100000 you realize what a 20 per cent discount off sincerity.

Allindustry is engaged in an-effort to stabitize prices upon a basis at which the public will resume pormal buying. This is"the éhief problem of ‘the hour and it is one which calls for wise handling, for a readjustment period_is usually attended with'perils.. The. great thing is to bring back ‘the nation to a state of balanced production where supply‘and demand will be moi® nornial and the emphasis given to certain industries from the war requipements will disappear. therefore that the defldtion process should not be hurried, that it should not force too radical a reduction in the price vf merch- ‘andise which retailers were forced to buy at war prices, gnd that it have regard for the peculiar problems of those industries which were unduly stimulated by war requirements. The re- adjustment so far has followed safe lines and while there has been some increase in the number of commercial failures, the situation on the whole has been properly safeguarded. These well under way, it behooves business men to do what, in their judgment, is Necessary to pht themselves in a strong financial position. One thing is certain, as this letter has indicated be- fore, the American people will not tolerate war prices in peace times. The country has had such a long period of mounting costs and price advances that a considerable portion of the community had begun to look upon these conditions as a matter of course, forgetting that they were really a war-time develop- enacted; -fThe Tarmers themselves should watch closely” the %, It is highly essentiall 'OVERHEARD BY EXCHANGE EDITOR . o Bl R & . ¢ \ 9 THE DAY OF SHORT CLOTHES. e % A woman may be W6th fashionable and egonomical th_is:fall.
