LOW RATES ADVOCATED
Joint Commission of Agriculture
Reports Recommendations for
Benefit of Country.
WASHINGTON. D. C, Dee. 14
Thirteen recommendations, IncludiTfg
legalisation of co-operative market
ing combinations, lowering of freight
rates on agricultural products and
establishment of agricultural at
taches In European capitals, are set
forth in a report of the Joint con
gressional commission of agricultural
inquiry(flled today In the senate.
The commission said provision
should be made for credit correspond
ing to the farmer's turnover and ho"v
ng maturity of from six months to
three years jyhlch would enable pay
ment to be made from the proceeds
ot his farm.
Hunk In Credits Recommended.
The present bsnklng system should
'ie adapted to enable It to furnish
such credit, the report said, adding
that a concrete proposal to carry out
this recommendation would be made
later.
Another recommendation is that
there should be a warehousing sys
tem which would provide a uniform
liability on the part of the warehouse
proprietor.
Among other recommendations are:
Extension of the statistical division
of the department of agriculture, par
ticularly along the lines of gathering
livestock statistics.
Trade Development Urged.
Development by trade associations
of more accurate, uniform and prao
tical grades of agricultural products
and standards of containers for them.
More adequate wholesale terminal
facilities, particularly for handling of
perishable foods at prlmajy markets
and a more' thorough organization of
the agencies and facilities of distri
bution of the large consuming centers
of the country.
The commission's final recommen
dation was for a renewal of "condi
tions of confidence."
Industrial, as wall as agricultural
prosperity, the report says, Is de
pendent upon a readjustment of prices
for commodities so that they will
represent a fair division of the eco
nomic rewards of industry, risk, man
agement and Investment of capital.
