Father of American Rural Credits, Another, Leading Republican, to Join President’s Standard. David Lubin, founder of the Inter national Institute of Agriculture and father pf the rural credits movement in America, has joined the list pf prominent Republicans openly advocat ing the re-election of President Wil son. Within a fortnight Thomas A. Edison. Luther Burbank and Henry Ford, all Republicans and men of in ternational fame, have done the same. David Lubin is a wealthy California farmer. His Interest in securing a square deal for the farmer led him to make research abroad, and out of his efforts grew the International Institute of Agriculture at Rome. This instltu tlon does for the staples- of agriculture of the world what the American cham ber of commerce does for the products of the American manufacturer.

ODELL, Editor of the Nebraska Farm Mesaslna Do» you know that your postofflee Is now an employment bureau? That is one of the new tilings Uncle Sam has started during the présent administra tion. Secretary. Wilson of the depart ment of,labor has tackled the task of bringing: the jobless man and the-man- lésai job_together,landinow^evsry_poBt--Z gancy of ths Unitsd_8tatss— employment. servi oo. The postmaster Is equipped with blanks for listing ap plications for labor or for employment and is instructed to help get the worker and the job In contact. While this may appear to be princi pally. in the interest of the worker, It is really... one of, the -numerous- far 9 reaching things, started for -the benefit of .tho farmer >by the administration of President Wileon. The increasing scarcity of farm labor has become a problem to the farmer, especially In the wheat growing and fruit growing sections. This labor, which is of a seasonal charactèr, necessarily must be performed largely- by itinerant workers. Some agency which will meet this demand and relieve the laborer of the. graft of ( employment agencies Is necessary. Uncle Sam: has started it. A single illustration will show how the system works: In thé Willamette valley of Oregon thousands, of temporary workers are needed in hop picking time. On Aug. 20 the Oregon Journal of Portland printed a news article about the new government employment agency, stat ing that 600 families could obtain im mediate employment In' the hop yards by-applying at the Portland division of the federal employment'service. This is another item added to the mass of accumulating evidence which shows that the Wilson administration has tried to give both labor and the farmer a Bquare deal. For the first time in history this administration has placed the needs of rural districts squarely before congress as of equal importance with the Interests of the financial centers. And why not? Financial centers would not amount to much without the nine billion dollar- crop of the Ameri can farmer. But, the Interests of the farmer have not always been so prom inently and favorably considered by congress as they have during the last three_year8,.The_record_of^Democratlc^ claims for farmer support is a record of accomplishment It reads like this in the passage of laws and adminis trative acts: What Has Bssn Dons For tho Farmer. CURRENCY REFORM.-The fed eral reserve act. under .which the farm- Sr’s paper is given special’ consideration, • including permission to national banks to loan on the security of farm lands. RURAL CREDITS.—An epoch mak ing legislative measure which will re lieve the farmer of the Incubus of the short time, loan at extortionate Interest; This measure alone, when in f u l l force, will save the «farmers of the United States one hilndred and fifty million dollars .annually in interest charges. GOOD ROADS.—Seventy-five million dollars made available for the develop, ment of roads from the farm to the market, under conditions which will prevent wasteful use of the money. AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION. - The passage of the Smith-Lever act brings to every American farm, through the joint co-operation of the federal government and the states, the help of these agencies In solving the business problems of the farmer. COTTON FUTURES ACT.-Deals a death blow to gambling in this great staple. UNITED STATES WAREHOUSE ACT. -Enables owners of stored prod ucts to obtain loans on warehouse re ceipts more nearly approximating the full value of the product ~~G~KATN~STANDARDS.—A law en- acted last August authorizes the sec retary of agriculture to establish offi cial grain standards. This law is work ing. Ths farmer who hss bssn robbsd through jugglsd grain grsdas for yaara will .apprsci^ta its valus. CROP MOVING.—The surplus funds of~the treasury-department have been placed directly In the banks of' the south and .west to aid in moving crops during the customary season of money shortage, .
