THE BEE: HERRICK TALKS OF RURAL CREDITS| Ambassador Says Farmers Must Build Co-Operative Buying and Selling System. CITES EXPERIENCE OF EUROPE HOT SPRINGS, Va., July 14.—In an address on “The Need of Rural| Credits” before the National Fertil- izer association convention here to- day Myron T. Herrick, former am- bassador to France, urged as a rem- edy for whatever trouble exists in rural communities the establishment of co-operative measures. He as- serted that not one of the successful systems In operation in this country or in Europe owed its existence to the intervention of the government and that agricultural progress was not keeping pace with the expansion of industry and population. A co- operative system, to be successful, according to Mr. Herrick, must be built up by the farmers themselves without assistance. Mr. Herrick began his address by de- claring that the American farmers, hav- ing avalled themselves of information and experience had become the most capable In the world, but that in spite of this agricultural progress here is not keeping pace with the expansion of in- dustry and the growth of population. Organised Buying and Sellinm. | “The causes of these shortcomings,” he continued, “are manifold. The want of | good roads Is one and the absence of | soclal pleasures is another cause. But the greatest of all s, in my opinion, the lack of organized selling and purchasing power. “Organized selling and purchasing power s best attained through co-opera- tion. Co-operative organization of farm- ers was so remarkably successful from its start over fifty years ago In Germany that bankers, benefits “Co-operation must be built up by the farmers themselves by starting at the &rass roots and depending on their own resources and efforts, first assembled and combined in basic units or local co-op- erative banks of credit socletfes. “A rural co-operative bank takes the place to some extent of the country etore. It posesses general banking pow- ers, byt delimits its area, restricts its operations to agricultural projects, con- fines its credit facilities to members n.nd! borrows, it possible, only from or through the system to which it belongs. Thus it devetes its resources exclusively to the agricultural good of its tmmediate neighborhood and—provided laws are properly drawn—it is protected from speculative ventures and from becoming excessively a debtor to the outside world. It may be either a joint stock company or a pure asociation like a savings bank. Works for Benefit of All. “The rural co-operative bank works for the individual good through the com- mon good of its members. The main use of the funds is to buy farm supplies in bulk at wholesale to retall to members at a lower price, or on better terms than they could obtain for themselves if each were standing alene. “Tho rurai co-operative bank exacts fair interest for its loans or credit; also it exacts adecuate prices and compensa- tion for the supplies it sells and the ser- vice it renders. merchants, statesmen and | students soon acknowledged its wonderful | LAUNEN, OTHER INVVENT()R'S | Fertilizer Famine is MAY SERVE NATION Facing U. 8.
