10 HOLD HEARING
IE SEPT. 4
SPOKANE, Wn.. Aug. 31. On Sep
tember 4 the federal form loan board
will hold hearings In Spokane, to de
termine upon the creation of a farm
loan district to serve the northwest
and to decide at which point one of
the 12 farm loan banks shall he lo
cated to servo this territory. The
hoard will hold its meotlngs In the
federal building beginning at 10 in
the morning.
ijAs this is the only hearing the
hoard will hold In the Inland Empire
or in the states of Washington and
Idaho it will be one of exceptional
importance to tho farmers of the
northwest. The hoard will undoubt
edly be mare interested in hearing
from tho farmers than from any one
elso as tho rural credit law creating
these banks was passed for the bene
fit of all farmers and tho banks are
really the farmers' banks. Farmers
from all points in Washington, Idaho,
Montana and Oregon will gather in
Spokane on September t to present
their case personally to the board.
One of the most vital points to be
considered by the board is tho for
mation of the district. Undoubtedly
strong pressure will bo brought to
bear to attach the northwest to Cali
fornia and locate a bank in Califor-j
nla or to attach the northwest to the'
Bakotas and Minnesota and locate a
bank In one of these states. Whether
a homogeneous district comprising
the northwest is formed and whether
the hank Is located at some central
point that will adequately serve the
farmers of the five northwestern
states will depnd very largely upon
the interest taken by the farmers in
presenting their own case to the
board.
The members of the farm loan
board comprise men who are the
leaders in finance and especially in
farm finance. They are: William G.
McAdoo, secretary of the treasury;
George W. Morris, farm loan com
missioner; Herbert Quick, Capt. W. S.
A. Smith and Charles E. I.obdell.
it happens that September 4, the
date the farm loan hoard will hold
its Spokane hearing. Is also the op
ening ay of the Spokane Interstate
fair. There will be a full program of
racing and other big events, so that
the farmers attending the hearings
of the board will he able also to at
tend the fair while In the city. Sec
retary McAdoo and his entire board
will attend the fair In a body.

To the Editor:
This Is the first lettpr tho writer
has been able to send you since his
return from Europe owing to attend
ing the Apple com'entton at Niagara
Falls. The general concensus of opin
ion of Niagara Falls with regard to
the apple situation is that the upple
shippers are making n great, mistake
in view of the slzo of the crop.
It is true that the price of. $1.2 3
for Jonathans and Jl.f.0 for Spit,
have made a profit even to sellers,
here; but it is the policy wo are crit
icising and not that phase of whether
profit or loss were realized. A high
er price on apples throws a demand
toward a cheaper fruit. Therefore
the sale of apples will be less liberal
than would be the case if a lower
level of prices had been named and
the writer Is strongly of the opin
ion that the policies will later on
bring about reaction of an unfortu
nate character.
One feature that will help tho west
ern boxed apple Is the information
that was generally stated to be the
fact at Niagara Fulls that the crop
or western New, York slate apples
this year Is of rather poor quality.
This being so, naturally the buying
trade for best qualities is running
, toward the west.
On the other hand the difficulties
of exporting apples are likely to prove
very great. As already Indicated to
you In a letter sent by the writer
from tho steamer the allied govern
ments stipulate to the steamship com
panies exactly what they should carry
in tonnage. The stipulation genorally
covers almost the entire hold space.
There there has been great difficul
ty already in getting space for ex
ports. 11 lull ltntes to Europe.
While It Is true the rates have been
announced at 12.00 for barrels and
cents for boxes we understand
that In order to obtain space ship,-
pers have already offered a prem
ium on tho space and have paid as
much as $2.7'i for barrels to Liver
pool and S3 cents for .freight on
boxes. At the convention one ex
porter prophesied that it would not
be surprising to him If at the helghth
of the season as much us $1.."0 and
$4. SO on barrels would be asked by
tho steamship companies.
Under these conditions the relieve
lug of the markets by exporting is
problematical and unless the markets
are relioved to a considerable extent
undoubtedly western and eastern ap
ples will be cheap during the season
and possibly unprofitable to growers.
Then too the attitude or the allied
governments on the question of ap
ples getting through to Germany Is
exceedingly serious. More so than
any one can appreciate except he who
has been in England and knows the
situation.
Taking all these details into con
sideration, tho writer's advice to ap
ple growers is not to place too high
a price on their production but to
sell it at such a price as will enable
a free distribution throughout the
United States and the maintaining
of a market that will tend toward a
liberal consumption on the part of
the public.

FAMINE FEAR
DIES IN NEW YORK
X KW YORK, Aug. 111. Although
the progressive freight enihni'go de
clared by the railroads will not be
come operative until tonight, Ihe pros
pective railroad strike already is
causing widespread inconvenience
through New York and New Kngiund.
Every branch of business depending
on rail I ransporlation is making
plan's to offset so far as possible the
threatened loss of transportation fa
cilities. After the first thrill of apprehen
sion fears of a food famine have
somewhat abated. Railroad nien
and provision dealers say that if a
strike is called the residents of big
cities in the east may have to go with
out some of their favorite dishes, but
lhat no one need go hungry.
