It was, simply giLt-edge7 so much was required, the claims' being carried as hook accounts hv th Inasmuch as the accounts were to run tor only six months, the fire Hollars premium on the cash price of the cot ton seed meal represents an interest charge to the farmer of The tmoortanf mtfinfi 1 . un, didnt the farmer borrow' the triftniv at the local bank, instead of the merr cirant, and get the service for 7 or, 8 per cent instead of the 28 per cent ? Now, .1 am not savins that ihU In justice can be eliminated hv the nnnr. ganized farmers, as individuals, but the organized farmers have the pow er, if properly directed; forget what they ask for from country banks, and save 20 per cent on trannartmnc rf this kind. And let me say in this con nection tnat no rural credits bill that will be passed bv .Conr. will rect the discrimination and injustice that I have referred to It must come through intelligent orffanired artivitv among farmers themselves. As commercial banks are nov a. ganized, however, it will strong fight to get much recognition, and, at best, it cannot prove to be a permanent and satisfactorv solution. A better, solution will be, to organize our own rural credit unions, under the law which the Farmers' Union had en acted byjhe last Legislature. Already several of these local credit anions have been organized in different sec tions of the state. Under this svstem agricultural capital is used for acrri. culture instead of turning it over to commercial banks to be used by spec ulators and -time merchants as it is now so lanarelv used It is n wpII. known fact that a large per cent of farmers who acquire a little surplus money do not know what to do with it, so they turn it over to the comrner- - . ..... cial interests at 4 per cent interest when it should be used bv other farm ers at 6 ner cent. Oranizine- ttAh nnions is a step toward agncuHnral muepenoence. Farmers will nver be able to take conrolete control of . . . - tneir busmess until.they learn how to use their own surplus capital for the benefit of. agriculture. There are enough deposits from farmers in com mercial banks to Iareelv meet the needs of agriculture .if it can be nsed m the business' of agriculture. And under credit unions farmers who have a surplus will get more 'interest while tnose who are borrowers will get it for a lower i rate of interest, whereas they now pay from 8 per cent up, and then have to take the pittance which commercial banks let them have after time merchants, manufacturers, and speculators have been supplied. in taking charcre of our own caoital we are going that far towards talcing charge of our own business, and the quicker we organize our credit un- ions the better it will be for our busi ness. - 1. 7.
