Henry Ford
HENRY FORD was 35 years getting ready for the
new price on the Fordson. He started as a farm boy,
planning to get rid of the drudgery, long hours and low
money return that has always faced the farmer.
He wanted to furnish you with a tractor that would not
only do your work better and faster, but at lower costs
—and the 170,000 Fordsona now in use have proved that
he has accomplished these things.
What you get in the Fordson for $395 f. o. b. Detroit is
the greatest farm power unit ever offered.
Let us show you how a Fordson will cut farm costs,
increase your bank account and take the doudgery out of
farm work. Write, phone or calk

ity for science to perfect an insect

other speaker at tonight’s session.
D. B. Bradner Speaks.
“The government has perfected a*
great number of new poison gases
since the war,” Mr. Bradner said,
“and the Edgewood arsenal in Mary

Program, Based On Casper
Bill, To Be Taken Up For
Passage In House Saturday,
Republican Leaders Say.
BEGAN FINAL DRAFTING
OF MEASURE YESTERDAY
Declares Leaders Will Insist
Bill Embody Salient Fea
tures of Capper and Len
root-Anrlerson Bills.
Washington. Feb., 20—\ compre
hensive agricultural credits program,
based on the Capper bill passed h>
the senate, will be reported by the
banking committee probably on
Thursday and taken up for passage
in the house Saturday under plans
disclosed today by republican lead
ers.
The final drafting of the measure
was begun today in the ■committee.
Meanwhile, Representative Dowell,
republican. lowa, presented to Chair
man Towner of tlie majority con- >
ferenee. bis petition for a parts
meeting for tomorrow night for the
purpose of speeding up consideration
of the legislation. Ghairman Towner
returned the petition, explaining that
it lacked the required number of
signatures and stated that in any .
event he would not issue a call for
tomorrow as there was not suffi
cient time to notify all members.
Will Present Petition
Representative Dowell announced,
later that he had obtained tlie re
quired number of signatures and
would present the petition again to
Mr. Towner with a request for a
conference Friday night if the
credits legislation had not been re
ported by that lime. Me declared
the farm bloc members would in
sist on a bill embodying the salient
features of both the Gappcr bill
and the Lcnroot-Anderson measure
also passed by the senate.
Meantime the bouse today passed
and sent to the senate another farm
aid measure. It was the Strong bill
liberalizing the federal farm loan
system increasing from SIO,OOO to
$16,000 the maximum?; of loans to '
borrowers with an additional provi
sion for loans up to $25,000 in ex
ceptional eases and subject to the
approval of tlic federal farm loan
board. j
Secretary Mellon presented his
views on the two measures in a let
ter sent today to Ghairman MacFad
den of the hanking committee. He
endorsed the. Gappcr bill, which
would authorize the formation under
federal charter of agricultural credit
corporations and make agricultural
paper eligible for rediscount at fede
ral reserve banks. Agricultural pa
per would be defined as the “obliga
tion” of co-operative marketing as
sociations.
The treasury secretary declared
the financial provision of the Len
root-Anderson bill to be dangerous”
,on the whole and its administrative
provision to be unworkable but
recommended that certain of its
features he incorporated in the flap
per bill. These included authority for
the rediscount corporations to make
loans direct to co-operative market
ing associations on warehouse re
ceipts security and the making of
paper factors, based on agricultural
products in their raw state, eligible
7 for rediscount at federal reserve
banks. Mr. Mellon also endorsed
the provision for repeal of the
amendment to the federal reserve
act authorizing progressive redis
count rates.
Outlines Preference
Outlining his preference for the
Capper bill Mr. Mellon said the Len
root-Andcrson measure attempted to
create a separate and independent
rediscount system for agriculture.
The Lenroot-Anderson bill, the
secretary said, was faulty in its
larger outlines of policy. He added
that the farmer had “suffered in
the past from unsound banking ly
stems.”
