The ag ricultural and financial representa tives of the heart of the corn belt met here today with Secretary Jar dine of the department of agricul ture and other government offi cials to discuss ways and means or enabling the farmers to cash In their record breaking corn cron of this year by a process of orderly marketing. Government machinery to expand credit facilities so that the farmer might hold or feed his corn In stead of sacrificing it at 50 cents a bushel, was set in motion. Coolldgo Sends Greeting President Coolldge sent his greet ings to the conference and ex pressed through Secretary Jardine "the hope and expectation that out of the conference will come con structive help." Tho Iowa bankers, business men and farm leaders adopted resolu tions 'reaffirming their faith in the richest arrlcultural state in the union (Iowa), again normal in .business and its banks stronger than ever before In cash resources and liquid assets. Capital Stock S250.000 Two national agricultural credit corporations, to be located at Fort Dodge and Des Moines, Iowa, with capital stock of $250,000 each .were organized and granted char ters and the stock all subscribed at tho meeting. These two banks, I under the federal Intermediate .credit will be able to take farm paper up to $5,000,000 with corn In tho crib or livestock In tho feed ing pens as collateral. Tho. organization of the two agr icultural credit corporations, It .was emphasized by the Iowa bank ers, was not to bo taken as a re flection of depression in Iowa, but merely to handle "the turnover of agriculture" along the lines of metropolitan business and help the farmer realize the utmost on his Jieavy corn crop, either as cash grain or as feed for livestock to be .marketed later. Fifty Ccntfl Too Law . The report to Secretary Jardine jot the investigation of the Iowa situation by A. C. Williams of the farm loan board and N. A. Olsen of the bureau of agriculture econ omics, concluded with the state ment that the "federal intermedi ate crop bank (of Omaha) is pre pared to accept farm storage cer tificates of grain as collateral to notes of solvent farmers, following Hie plan of tho Iowa corn crib credit act. "We are here," said Secretary Jardine, In opening the conference, "to devise methods to enable the farmer to market his corn In or derly fashion. Fifty cents a bushel for corn is too low. Between now and the next crop some one Is go ing to get better prices for this year's corn crop and it should be the farmer." 7lr The Associated Freas) AUSTIN. Texas, Doc. 1. The center of the Texas political high way liquor controversy today grav- tated slightly toward i em pie. xus. where the personality of chief interest. Governor Miriam orguson, went on a visit, leavlnir her husband to face a turbulent situation in the capital, while courts ground out highway judg ments and received the financial fruits of Attorney General Moody's first highway victory. The high spots in the situation were these: Mrs. Ferguson suddenly left the capital for her former home In Temple, where she planted some rose bushes and did some Christ mas shopping. Jamefl E. FergUHon. the gov ernor's husband- stated that the governor had made no formal an nouncement of her stand on the demand for a special session made by 50 members ot the legislature, v The Travis county district court entered Judgment, against th. American Road company, which the attorney general sued for ex cess profits on highway contracts. The court, in entering the judg ment, said that 30 cents a square yard for topping highway was an -unreasonable price. This was the contract price awarded by the highway commission. The American Road company presented a check for $286,025 to the clerk of the court as partial satisfaction of the judgment. Can celed claims will constitute the re mainder of the judgment. Amon G. Carter, publisher of the Fort worth Star-Telegram, de clined to accede to the governor's demand for his resignation from the board of regents of West Texas Technological school, charg ing that the demand was "a smoke Bcreen to divert attention from the highway revelations. BILL PROVIDES CASTLE FORMER KAISER MAY BECOME PRIVATE CITIZEN FnMEUROPE Locarno Security Pacts Are Signed By Nations at London Gathering CROWD GIVES WELCOME Delegates of Six Nations ; Affix Signatures HOPE FOR RUSSIA HELD Dlaarmamcnt Conference Declared Likely In Near Future to Help Relieve Excessive Mill- I tary Burdens (By- The Associated Press) BERLIN, Dec. 1. Should WIU liam Hohenzollern return to Ger many as a private citizen he prob ably will find a beautiful castle set aside for him at Homburg-Van-Der-Hoehe, near Frankfort. This is one of the interesting pro visions of the bill which the Prus sian finance ministry has framed for introduction into the diet for final settlement tof the Hohenaol lern family's claims. This bill, which the Hphenzol lerns already have agreed to ac cept, provides for a cash payment ot 30,000,000 marks (about J7, .150,000) and the restoration of three palaces and other property of the erstwhile ruling house. One clause of the bill provides that the state place the castle and park of Homburg at the disposal of the former kaiser as a residence for himself and his wife during their life time. The Homburg castle Is regarded as one of the most artistically ar ranged castles in Germany. Under the Prussian . govern ment's bill, the former crown prince Frederick William will re tain only his estate at Oels, in Silesia, with the valuable lands at tached. But for him, his wife, children and grandchildren, the state proposes to set aside Cecll ienhof castle, near Potsdam. The state would retain the title to both .Homburg and CeciUenhof. HIGHER RATES OPPOSED FARM ORGANIZATIONS GO ON RECORD AT HEARING (Ry The Associated Press) . ST. PAUL, Dec. 1. Representa tives of various farm organizations went on record today as "not be ing against railroads" but against any Increase in freight rates which would further Jeopardize the finan cial standing ot the agricultural in dustry. This stand was taken at a hearing before an Interstate comr merce commission examiner on the application ot 74 western railroads for increased freight rates. W. 1 Stockton of Clarkston, Montnnn. said that a higher rate on freight would bo an additional load on tho farmors and that even though tho farmers of his state are not against railroads, they should nt least share In the benofits ot tho Industrial prosperity. He said that farmers are worse off now than they were In 1S20 and ns argument said that many dis tricts in Montana are tody entirely ucpopuintca. Decause of agricultur al failure STATE COMMITTEE NAMED RAIL CONDITION TOLD PANAMA CANAL BLAMED FOR ROAD'S FAILURE (By The Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Dec. 1. H. E. Byram, former president and pow a receiver of the Chicago, Mil waukee and St. Paul railroad, to day gave his account of the road's financial disaster to tho interstate commerce commission. A major cause of the railroad's failure early this year to meet Its obligations, he said, lay In Panama canal competition with transcon tinental railroads, with a cessation of business expansion in the Northwest, which affected all railroads in the territory, a con tributory factor. Ho defended the railroad's busi ness policies prior to the received chip on every point raised during critical qucstloninlng by J. J. Hickey, chief of the commission's bureau of investigation.
