Show TWO DRAWBACKS IN FARMING Want of Good Roads and Absence o1 Social Pleasure Big Handicaps Farmers Must Co-operate. That American farmers must co-op erate in order to get the rural credil they need is the belief of Myron T Herrick. former ambassador to France and Ohio financier. In order for a co operative system to be successful, ac cording to Mr. Uerrlck, the farmers must build it up themselves for theii own vital needs. Mr. Herriclc gavt the principal address before the Na tional Fertilizer association conven tion at Hot Springs, Va., a few day; ago, his subject being "The Need o: Rural Credits." Outside assistance to the farmei will not do, Mr. Herrick says. Tht want of good roads and the 'absence of social pleasure are the two chie: dra vbacksto the farming business ai the present time, outside the lack ol organization selling -and marketing through co-operation, which overshad ows all other troubles of the farrier "The runrl o-operativo bank works for the individup' good through the common good of its members. Tht bank's grand object is to assemble tb( individufil resources of its members and organize and strengthen their pur chasing and selling power." |
