WILLURGE CREDITS FOR STOCK RAISERS Coolidge Agricultural Com- mission Views This as ' Outstanding Emergency. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. Liberal and long-term Government credits to the cattlemen of the West and Southwest will be recommended by President Coolidge's Agricultural Commission when {t reassembles in Washington, January 5. The plight of the cattle-breeders on the ranges is regarded by the commission as the outstanding emergency in the Ameri- can agricultural situation. Under the ausplces of the Federal Farm Loan Bureau, the commission will recom- mend that relief advances at low rates and repayable on easy condi- tions, be forthwith placed at the dis- posal of the cattle industry. A few days ago President Coolidge gave indication of his interest In that particular branch of agriculture by appointing Albert Calvin Willlams of Texas to the Farm Loan Bureau. Mr. Willlams i3 the former president of a live stock loan company at Fort Worth, and is especially experfenced in making loans on cattle. Tt is vrobable that relief measures to be arged by the A ltural Commie- sion month will be largely di- rected b Willia They will be worked beforehand in consulta- tlon with the presidents of the twelve reglonal Federal and intermedi- ate credit banks at Springfield, Mass.; Raitimore, Colu; S. C.; Louisville New Orieans, St. Louts, St. Paul, Omaha, Wichita, Houston, Berkeley and Spokane. Incidenta 11 mat- ters of finance affecting agriculture will be considered Sole Emergency Measare. Help for the cattlemen who are scattered throughout the rural West with the exception of the wheat and corn belts will be the only emer- gency measure declared by the Pres- ident’s commission to be of vital and fmmediate importance.
