How many investments have you made

Who of us has not at some time or other
bought some stock or other security that
now carries no value?
There will always be money lost in

Arthur Capper, famous "Farmer
Senator," ma do. (he following state
ment recently for publication:
"It was argued when prices were
rising that rail rates might he based
on 'all the traffic will bear.' If that
was correct, why then are rail rates
on farm products now based on 'more
than the traffic will bear?' If 'all
the traffic will bear' was just,' how
can the railroads have the face to try
to continue 'more than the traffic
will bear?' For example, when vhei:t
was at the $2.00 level a rati! of 20 f
cents say, on a bushel of wheat we 8 !
only 10 per cent. But now with $1 j
wheat that same rate absorbs 20 per
cent of the sale price; excessive and
far too much. Farmers cannot mar
ket wheat on the margin existing
freight rates require. The grower has
no voice in the terminal market for
wheat which is 50 per cent and more
below the war level. Cost of produc
ing wheat is not more than 15 per
cent under the war figure. In 1912
and 1913, before the war, country
elevators averaged 5 cents a bushe;
margin. That was increased uniil in
1821 it reached 13 cents a bushel.
Add to high railroad rates, high ele
vator charges, uncertainly of the rai
nier in obtaining cars and you pu,
on the bread grower a handicap thai
is fast becoming intolerable."

CROP LOU PUN

more and more American farmers
would be forced from their hinds,
until by the lime the state credit or
ganisations were ready to function
there would be mighty few farmers
for them to extend credit to."
Partly as a result of Mr. Jewett's
appearance before the senate bank
ing committee, it appears likely that
the national co-operative conference
will broaden its rural credits recom
mendations to include the establish
ment of regional banks, and possibly
credits on growing crops as well.
JcwcU System Preferable
The representatives of the wheat
growers' associations have announced
to tho conference that while they will
not oppose the federal reserve board
plan outlined by Mr. S.ipiio, if it be
comes the conference choice, they
will nevertheless continue to advocate;
the broader system outlined by Mr.
.lewett. The co-operative conference

conference yesterday, Eugene Meyer

(which would provide farm limincifig

which does not meet llui approval of
the wheat growers' officers. Herbert
