There ia an opportunity for some of the stable men of the county to establiah a credit association to work with the Intermedi ate Credit Bank and loan money to farmer« to purchase livestock. Thia may be the answer to the prayer of many farmers who have wished that aome way could be provided whereby they could In- creaae their stock while the price of wheat is so low. If the fears of many farmers are correct that many more acres wHI be cut for hay this year than previously, such an association through the distribution of livestock, could help the country to a great extent. The crop that was cut for hsy might easily bring more cash into the country than that part of it that was cut for grain. Plans like the one above are made by. the government as a part of the nation’s contribution to farm relief. It is one plan that could be used in this county, for we have the feed for stock here and a climate in which almost any kind of stock thrive. Some workable ideas will have to be put in operation before • conditions will greatly improve in the wheat growing counties. The government is trying different schemes to aid the producer of wheat. This credit association idea is another that comes from the government, but must have the aid of local men. Govern ment, like the Almighty, helps them that helps themselves. NOT FARMER'S DEPRESSION The expression “cussed and discussed’’ is very trite at this time but it is applicable to the wheat farmer and his problem as well as any other. Some economists criticise him for us ing too little modern machinery; local advisers and stockmen blame his troubles to too much machinery; some attack his market ar rangements; some his production methods; other» say he is going to the bow wows, and that the land in the next century or before will be farmed by corporations and that the fanner as we know him will become a laborer. It is easy to see at the outset that a large part of the advice given to the wheat growers is wrong and unless for the simple reason that it can not all be right. Those who prophesy that corporations will eventually own and farm the land are at present having much to say. They base their arguments on the fact that nearly every other business has teen industralized and on the statement that the individual fanner is inefficient in his production methods. It is freely stated that such Corporation farming could and would raise wheat for enough less than fifty cents per bushel to make a nice profit for the stockhold ers at the end of the year. Most of these assertions are made on the success of one or two ventures into this sort of farming or upon someones theory. The famous Campbell farm in Montana ia one of these. The land is leased from the government at a very low price. It is in a large block and is level enough to be adaptable to large scale farming and yet its success has not been as startling as it should have been ur^der these circumstances. Corporation farming may be the cureall for the farm situation, but • • Isn’t it the control of other industries by corporations that b largely to blame for the condition the country is in at present? Isn’t it true that the wheat farmer has had leas to do with depres sing the country’s finances than big business, corporation con. trolled? Would not the country’s future be more secure with in numerable small owners of property than with a few large com panies owning the tangible property and the remainder of the peo- pie working for them? Sure, and there is no need for the farmer to beginjto worry un- til the large farming operations are more of a success than they have been so far. TWO CORPORATIONS Along with other things that have been reduced in price dur- in^ this much talked of depression has been electric “juice. ” The company which sells this commodity in this vicinity did not protest the reduction in the price of their product which is considerably different than the attitude of another corporation that draws a Mrs. H.
