Wilson of the Bank Relations department of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, calls attention to one advantage enjoyed by the farmer who grows sugar beets to which notice is not often directed. This is the superiority of the beet crop to practically all others as an instrument of credit. At a time when all sorts of measures for improving the credit equipment of farmers, including direct government aid and various other forms of organized assistance, are under discussion, this is a consideration of particular importance. As explained by Mr. Wilson the Federal Reserve Bank can make no loans direct to farmers or business men, but it can and does rediscount certain classes of approved paper offered by it member' banks when such notes are properly secured and are in negotiable form. Livestock is recognized as a proper security, as are stocks of merchandise and crops of grain or other salable products when deposited in warehouse. The farmers special need, however, is to obtain funds or credit to aid him in making his crops. His expenses begin with the preparation of his fields and the purchase of seed. They continue during the period of cultivation and harvest. His returns are received only at the end of the season when his crops are sold. Local banks serving agricultural communities recognize this need and make very large aggregate loans to farmers on the security afforded by their property or by their reputations for probity and good management. Such paper, however, is not available for rediscount by the Federal Reserve Bank. The Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank, with which Mr. Wilson is connected, covers the district including the states of Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, and Kansas, as well as parts of three others. A great variety of crops are cultivated in this district but among them all, as he points out, the only one which is regarded as good security for rediscount while in the growing state is sugar beets. The reason for this is twofold. In the first place, practically all these crops except beets, including the two great staples wheat and corn, may be wiped out by the ravages of pests, by drouth, hail, or other unfavorable weather conditions. Sugar beets, however, are much less seriously affected by weather variations and practically never score a complete failure. In the second place, the price to be realized by other crops is uncertain; it may not be enough to pay the cost of seed and labor. In the case of sugar beets, however, the grower is assured a fixed minimum price for his crop. He holds a contract form a responsible company obligating the latter to the payment of a specified sum per ton directly following delivery of his crop to the factory and provision can be made for payment to run to the bank making the loan, or jointly to the bank and the grower if it is so desired. Tjjus the bank making a loan on a growing crop of sugar beets has security which is considered practically as substantial as the stocks of merchandise on the storekeepers shelves. As Mr. Wilson says, The fact that the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, through its branches accepts notes from its member banks based upon growing beet crop is a good reason for the members banks preferring this class of paper. It is also a good reason for the farmer selecting this crop as his primary FEBRUARY 1, 1924. association. Joseph Christensen Of Gunnison was unanimously chosen president and C. L.

Attend Pioneers Funeral The timber sale business during on the National Forests of the Intermountain district was extremely 11)23 satisfactoiy says District Forester, R. II. Rutledge of the U. S. Forest Service. Sales totaling 181,650 thousand board feet were made during This was the largest the year. amount of timber ever sold in one year since the organization of the Foiest Service, with the exception of 11)20, when the amount slightly exceeded two hundred million board feet. While the large amount sold in 11)20 was due to a single exceptionally large sale in western Wyoming, the amount sold this year indicates a moie normal growth in the lumber industry in this region as the sales are not greatly concentrated The widespread in any one place. Icvi lopment is indicated by the num-uof different forests making large sales. The Targhee National Forest with headquarters at St. Anthony, Idaho, is the leading forest with sales of approximately 66 nillion board feet. The Payette Na- ional Forest with headquarters at Emmett, Idaho, sold 18 million. The Boise National Forest with at Boise, Idaho, sold 30 million anil the Idaho National Forest with headquarters at McCall, Idaho, 11 million feet. The rest of the Forests show less remarkable sales for the year, although on none of them ould the timber sale business be classed as poor. These sales, some of wliiih will run ten years before the last of the timber is cut, will bring into the Government a revenue of about $151,000. Of this amount 25 per cent will go to the County in whiih the sales are made according to law in lieu of taxes on National Forest Lands in these counties. Approximately 40 million feet of timber were cut this year. This is not record breaking, as is has been exceeded three times during the last fifteen years. Nevertheless, it is considerably above the average. The lumber industry is looking forward to a period of expansion in this region, and it is to be expected that this amount will be increased to a very marked degree in the next few years. A number of timber sales are now being negotiated and it is believed that 1921 wil show no slump in the National Forest timber sale business in the region. cr head-juaite- rs A large number of Salina people went to Ephraim yesterday to attend the funeral of A.
