No. 1 0 46TF EVERY country banker to tha United States would take care of the "T agriculture of his district and so regulate his loans aa to bo able to use the federal reserve system for the purpose for which it was created, there would not be the general complaint which is heard in some quarters." said a former producer and banker In that portion. Of his article recently printed in The Journal series of articles discussing "the'eredits for farmers. He sives specifications as to what he means in the following paragraphs from another portion of the same article. Hera they are: "At the time that the livestock industry of the Northwest was going through its recent severe contraction, a member of one of the bankers associations, in charge of agricultural work for his association endeavored to assist the banks and stockmen; in the livestock- sections by urging all banks within his state to purchase notes secured by livestock. Imagine, the surprise of those interested to aiding the livestock industry when, one of our so-called 'conservative old-time bankers, of his own volition, sent out a letter to other bankers In the district, advising them against purchasing notes secured by chattel mortgages oa livestock and narrating -tin unfor tunate experience which he once had with a note secured in this manner, which to him was sufficient grounds for condemning all financing to con nection with the livestock industry when It was carried on in this -way. This man was an isolated incidence, because there are a great many coun try bankers who, instead of investing their surplus funds, which they al ways invest in commercial paper, for the purpose of a secondary reserve Instead of investing these funds in notes secured by livestock, many of them purchased prime commercial; paper issued by tha big packers, the large rubber companies, or other industries. . t I do not advocate that all of their surplus funds should be invested in agricultural paper,' but I do claim, that a far greater per cent should be ko invested than 'is being invested at the present time. These country banks are directly dependent! upon the prosperity of the farmers of their com THE FEEDING OF THE SOUTH 7 (Consolidated Preea AaeocJatiua) Daily Editorial Direst. The public health service report of pellagra and "semi-is-mlne" in the south upon which President Harding; based his appeal to the Red Cross has stirred up surpnsea ana indignant comment in the columns of the southern newsDaDera. Writers in other sections either express a mild sympathy for the alleged afflic tion in the' south or criticize the "pride" or tnose who resent the charges of dig ease and starvation. - The Philadelphia Public Ledger (Ind.) is convinced that the south is short of food. "It has never fed itself, maybe never will." it declares. -In spite of the efforts of the United States department of agriculture extension workers, county farm agents and farm Journal editors, who have preached diversification for years, the south is a one-crop country. The Memphis Commercial Appeal (Dem.), on the other hand, denies the need of munlty for their own prosperity and success, and it seems a short-sighted "charity.' It says: -Were the situation policyyfor a. country bank to accumulate fund, from the agricultural re- XLtZr sources of its region and then to invest these funds in paper used to finance UT M ottered, but since the south itself industrial and commercial industries, especially when there is a crying ia without knowledge of such a situation need for investing; these funds in paper secured by wool, wheat or live- it cannot but feel that the president has sk.

Ouler is near the south slope of Mount Adams, whose summit is leas than 1Z miles distant. Perry, the stage driver, haa been on this run many years and knows every man. woman and child along his route, to say nothing of the dogs, by their first names. Huauns was our first atop on our northbound Journey, lt la located by the banks of the turbulent White Salmon river. A tourist camp, with stoves, tables and sanitary convenience, haa been estab lished on the banks of the river. ' e There are more upgrades than down on the road to Guler. for the -elevation at White Salmon, on the bluffs 300 feet above the Columbia, ls 99 feet while at Guler. 23 miles distant, the elevation ls 2006 feet. At Husum the road divides. the western one being the road to'Trout- lake, while the right hand road goes tq Glen wood, a prosperous farming com munity having a population of about 100. It is the trading center for the dairying and hay producing country thereabout. a a . . a The road te Troutlake follows the course of the White. Salmon river, which in many places Is exceedingly pictur esque. For untold ages the sea-seeking water .baa cut Its way through the rock till in places the river looks like a Streak of shimmering silver at the bottom ot a knife cut In the black rock walla In numerable springs fed from the snow, clad alopes of Mount Adams are 'the sources of small streams which, falling from the tops of the. rocky banks ot the river in milk-white spray, present vivid contrast to the masses of delicate Nile-green' maidenhair fern growing ia the crevioea of the fire-formed rocks that rise abruptly from the river's edge. About six miles to the southward of Troutlake, Perry stopped the stage and said. "While the engine is cooling we will walk a hundred yards or so to see the Periodical springs. A short walk through tha heavy forest growth brought us te a hillock from the base of which gushed a stream a foot deep and several feet acroea. For several hundred yards additional streams made their way from the solid rock, merging their waters to form a large stream, ice-cold and crystal clear. "No one knows what makes this stream flow for days and weeks and then suddenly step and then as sud denly start op again," said Perry. "Some people think there ls a vast un derground reservoir that when , It be comes full siphons out till all the water is gone, and then the stream stops till the reservoir agaiq becomes full." - - 4 - :. Emerging from the" yellow pise forest we come to a fertile and beautiful val ley where emerald-green fields of corn, wheat, timothy and oats showed how rich the valley sou Is. -That field oi oats will run upward of 100 bushels to tha acre." said Perry, aa he pointed to a field of heavy-headed oeta. "This val ley has an abundance of water for irri gation, as you can see by- the numerous ditches we have crossed or passed, so alfalfa, fruit and berries make big crops. Lou of hay means cows, as you can tell by the milk cans In front of many of the farm houses." a a a In many of the fields I noticed disin tegrating heaps of earth. Some were red. some whlta aa chalk, others yellow, and some black as lava Pointing to them. I asked Perry: "Where do those hummocks of earth come from?" With wave ot his hand Perry indicated Mount Adams, and responded: "There used to be a peak where now there ls a deep crater full of water called Goose Whan the lava flowed over this country that mountain was Indulging In fireworks and shooting these chunks of earth eft Into space aa though lt was a blooming Roman candle. They lit all over the valley. If there were any peo ple here then I'll bet they did some lively dodging. Most ; of the hummocks are composed of what looks like burnt rocks and clinkera." ( aaa We stopped at Troutlake postoffice to deliver and receive the mail and to take on a let of individual mail sacks, for the stage driver la the rural mail car rier alao and delivers mall to 50 or 60 ranchers between White Salmon and Guler. s - Five miles farther on we drew up at C J. Reynolds' hotel at Guler. and 1 dis embarked. Around the hotel are grouped a score or so of tents, and during the summer there abides here a Little Port land, for many of the campers hail from Oregon s metropolla Chris Guler. for whom Guler 1 named. took me in his Dodge all over the val ley as well as to the Lava Caves. We provided ourselves with pitch pine kind lings and. climbing down a ladder 40 feet in lengthy explored the cave. It is a tortuous tunnel large enougn lor- a train to utilize. The bottom of the tun nel is very rough, being formed of wavea of lava that have cooled aa they flowed. If you can imagine- the sea on a windy day when" the waves are choppy sud denly cooling, you will have. a very good idea ot the floor of fha tunnel. The aides -aad roofi, are equally rough. The tunnel can be traversed about . three fourths of a mile. It was undoubtedly formed by a molten stream ef lava Cow ing from -the) aide of Mount Adams. As it flowed onward the- top cooled and formed a thick crust; while the molten Interior flowed on. leaving the hollow core, which during untold centuries has been buried by volcanic dust till now it forma a subterranean chamber? ' The lava Caves are about two miles from Galer. the Ice Caves six miles and Goose lake ltjmilea. Indian Race ; Track and Red Mountain are favorite places foe hikers and tour lata On top l Red mountain, which la about 6000 feet In height, the govern ment maintains a lookout station to watch for forest fires and notify head quarters so they can be effectively .and quickly handled. Fishing, hunting, hiking, mountain climbing, picking huckleberries and taaxet nuts and touring the valley by motor keep the - summer . visiters busv and happy. - - ' Th matn are Dlannlna to lease the cannery at South Bend to harvest the crop. i ..
