DISCUSS PUNS
TO MR
Extension of Credit
Unon Svstem of
Warehouse Receipts
Aim of Scheme to Be
Worked Out.
llrrntd Washington lluirnu
WASHINGTON, Juno 11. Fi
nancing of thn former along mod
urn and hdantlflo linen no that tin
may warehouse IiIh product and
borrow on tho warohouso receipt
will bo discussed at a conferonco
hero noxt Monday boforn Hocrotnry
of Agrlculturn Wallace and Hocro
tary of Commoreo Hoover. It -will
bo onn of tho most Important of
ltd kind over held In tlio Interest
of advancing agrlculluro to thn
namo flimnclal bail an manufactur
ing and mining.
Representative of varlouii farm
organization, elovntor and grain
dealers, Imuranco companion nnd
other association Interested hnv
been Invited to attend. '
Tho proposal I to provide a meth
od by which tho farmer may
be gives unlimited ntorage fa
cilities for hli grain and receive
a warehouse certificate In audi
form and under tuch condition!. t,bt
It would pas im an order for de
livery of tho grain.
Aim Am Many
It would thus greatly Increase hi
borrowing power and would relievo
him of the pressure of idling his
grain except at hi own option. It
would enablo him to haul hi grain
at thn time of thn groatcit farm
economy without being compelled
to o11 at that tlmo. It would ox
tend hi credit nrea fnr boyond hi
local bank. It -would plnco him In
tho namo position a to crod't n
I thn grain dealer.
Tho present system of local ele
vator nnd warehoused of small
capacity, relying upon Immediate
dlRpatch to largor capacity termin
al elevator, makes It ImposslMo
for tho local elevator to gho long
ntorago of grain In any .j-Jantlty,
Owing to thin nltuntlon. If tho farm
er wlihr to retain hi grain until
mora .favorable mnrkollng condi
tion ho muil hold It nt tho farm,
tbon ho must borrow monoy from
his local bank whero tho credit I n
porsonal ono and limited by tho
ability nnd consideration of 'ho
local bankor.
In turn tho ability of tho local
'''' bankor to extend credit I greatly
limited by his rolntlon to tho foil
crnl rcnorvo system. '
Plan In Outline
Tito proposal Is thorefore:
A That tho country elevator
should recclvo all grain offorod for
. Htorago and Innua n cortlflcnto a to
quantity, grado nnd quality, showing
on It faco tho rate of clmrgo for
warehousing, ntorago nnd Insur
ance ngalnRt flro nnd othor risks
II Thnt tho country olovntor
hhnuld Imvo thn right to ship grain
to tho natural tormlnnl olovntor nnd
upon presentation of tho ccrtlflcnto
dollvor grnln'of tho on mo or higher
grado at tho tormlnal with propor
reflection ot frolght charges. It tl
grnln had moved Into a terminal
elovator tho charges for frolght and
handling toguthor with accumulated
ntorago and Insurance would bo do
dnctod from tho salo valuo,
C That tho Btorago certificate
uhould bo safeguarded by a, method
of Insuranco by tho liability com
panies. D As there must bo an nbso
luto sottlomont between tho country
elovator and the farmer as to quan
tity, grado and quality, thera must
be somo ready method ot appoal In
caso of disagreement.
Appeal System Needed
This might be arranged by fann
er .and county elevator operator
