Bankers of the United States are wide awake to the importance of working out of a more liberal platform for agricultural and livestock financing. Already preliminary steps hare been taken nnd a nity of action assured which experienced economists predict are the foun dation stones to an era of unprecedented national prosperity. Summed up, the American farmer played a stellar role in the annual eeaveation of the American Bankers' Association, held here this year and attended by 10,900 of its members. First, Eugene Meyer, Jr., Managing- Di rector of the War Finance Corporation, put the issue squarely up to the bankers in his address, "Financing Agriculture." Then followed the prin cipal fight of the convention over the branch bank issue. Here again agricul ture came to the fore, as it was the small town banker, the farmers' banker, opposed to the branch bank idea of the city bankers. Farmers and the stock raisers may expect to see these developments: Loag termed financing which will permit a gradual marketing of crops. In ther words, loans which can be rediscounted or extended to permit Dom ing of crops until a favorable market is offered. A supervision of live stock loan companies in line with that exercised ever State and National Banks. Mast Market Our Products Slowly The need for a more gradual mar keting of agriculture products through longer termed financing as presetted to the National Bankers' Association by Eugene Meyer, Jr., received their closest attention. "Unquestionably," said Mr. Meyer, "it would have been advantageous, even . under pre-war conditions, to market our products- more gradually. Under present conditions it is more than a matter of advantage it is an absolute -necessity. "Paper, based upon the security of non-perishable commodities," Mr. Meyer stated, "should be made eligi ble for rediscount for the length of time necessary to market a season's product before the next harvest. The view seems to prevail in some quar ters that paper, in order to be liquid, must have a maturity of sixty to ninety days. But a sharp distinction should be drawn between short-time bank paper and the question of the liquidity of the security that under lies bank paper, long or short. "Long-time paper may be more liquid as to security than short-time paper. During the past year it was clearly shown that commercial paper depends for its liquidity on the or derly buying of the manufactured goods, and that this orderly buying, in turn, depends largely upon a pur chasing power baaed upon the orderly marketing of our basic agricultural products. Crop Loans Most Desirable "Indeed, if our late experience es tablished any definite differentiation between the liquidity of commercial paper and of paper based upon staple, non-perishable agricultural contnodi ties, properly warehoused, it estab lished that fact that the latter ia de cidedly more liquid under adverse conditions than the former. At no time were such commodities so en- tirely unmarketable as were certain lines of manufactured products upon which the so-called liquid commercial paper was based. "While it is important," continued Mr, Meyer, "to safeguard the Fed era Reserve System by proper re strictions regarding eligible paper, it is equally important to safeguard business and agriculture by avoiding discrimination against paper which may properly be considered as eligi ble. Branch Banks Weaken Farm Loans The strongest point scored by the state bankers as opposed to the Na tional branch bank idea, was the claim that branch banks, if extended to small towns and agricultural dis tricts, would be manned by outsiders unfamiliar with local conditions, thus making loans in many instances un sound and weakening our whole finan cial structure. The Branch Bank idea was voted down as detrimental to the beat interests of the nation. !0U have been walking in the sunny fields of prosperity. Life seems secure.

Birds just off the range and plac ed in confined quarters, as they are during the winter, should be carefully watched, for they art likely to devel op the habit of picking each other's feathers. The new feathers have blood at the base which gives them the taste of blood and causes this habit to develop. The best remedy is to keep the birds busy and hungry work ing for feed, which will keep away this depraved appetite. Raw bones with a little meat left on them, plac ed where the pullets can get to them, will help. Care should be excerised to keep the bones from getting stale by providing fresh ones from day to day. 0. A. C. Exp. station. Garden Tract Needs Shift.

No man can assume to be, the law in the exercise of bis rights. No man has, liberty except the liberty that is guaranteed to him by law while he is within the confines of. absolute obe dience to law. When he steps beyond the confines of law he causes to have rights except the right of a fair and impartial trial by an impartial jury. We , seem to have forgotten , the Constitution and have entered upon S policy of abuse of the rights guar anteed to -us-under the Constitution. The Constitution guarantees to us the right of free speech, That means the right of appeal, -of petition, of protest, of trial, and of constructive amendment to the Constitution ac cording to the rules of law. No gov ernment, civil or military, can deny us the right to petition, to plead, or to protest. This provision of the Constitution is abased today. The term, "Free Speech" is interpreted to mean un bridled license to talk. There is a vast difference between speech and talk. There is a vast dif ference between petition and un guarded, treasonable, and blasphe mous utterances. We do not need any more free speech. We need fair argument, honest statements, and truthful utterances. The Constitution guarantees to us a free press. That means the right I to own and to publish the news if published accurately, truthfully and fairly. It means a press beyond the dic tation of any power be it political, military, or financial. We need under that right a fair press, an honest press, a truthful press, an accurate press, an unbiased press, and a press that recognizes that the reportorial and news columns belong to the pub lic in which utterances be fairly, accurately, and truthfully reported. The Constitution guarantees to us the right of amending the Constitu tion. But it must be amended accord ing to the Constitution's rule for amending it. The Constitution must be respect ed, obeyed and followed if this gov ernment is to stand. Jl.
