Rear Corn’s THE COFFEE COUNTY PROGRESS, DPI GLAS. GEORGIA Industrial Farming In Europe of Budapest, Hungary. 1 went through one of these mammoth estab lishments, four stories high, and which covered an entire block, every thing from clothing, household uten sils and groceries to every variety of farming implements was in stock. The farmers in a village will club their orders together and pay spot cash for everything bought. Nothing is charged, but the cash must accom pany each order. In like manner these co-operative buying societies own and operate their own mills for grinding and mixing of stock food, and mixing plants for the manufac ture of their commercial fertilizers. Indeed, these European farmers have learned to manage and operate their own business, and I am glad to say they have had the powerful sup port and co-operation of their governments. Nations Best Asset. The governments of every European country which our commission visited took the broad position that the s rongest foundation upon which any great nation could be built was one which was supported by a progres sive, happy and contented agricul tural population. From this stand point the governments of the best agricultural countries of Europe have far the past half century given every possible co-operation and assis tance to the development of their agricultural industry. In thi6 con nection it can be said that, while f< r eign farmers secure their borrowed capital at 4 per cent per annum, the average rate of interest on commer cial loans for the same countries is from 5 to 6 per cent. We have just the reverse of that condition in this country, only worse. While our commercial and industrial loans are from 5 to 6 per cent, the average rate of interest charged American farmers is from 8 to 10 per cent. The European farmers are also largely in the majority in the mem bership of their legislature or par liaments, while out of 420 members of the American congress there are only eight 8 bona fide farmers. From trie facts presented in this ; limited article there is hut one con clusion to he drawn, and that is, A ! merican agriculture must be indus ; trialized. It must be placed in a po sition where it can recieve that im petus which active working capital in ample quantity gives to every oth er line of successful endeavor. 1. D.
