Corn Belt Body
; To Bring Relief
! To This Section
Committee With Hesdquar
! ter at Chicago Expected
; To Solve Fanners Dif
ficulties at Once.
Do You Want a Prize?
Futahlishmcnt of the corn belt ad
, isory committee, composed of eight
prominent business men 01 ine coun
try, with headquarter at CJiicago, at
announced Friday by directors of the
War Finance corporation at asnm
ion. will have immediate effect relieve
ing the financial distress and solving
the difficulties of farmers and stock
men in thl territory, in the opinion
of F. W. Thomas, regional chairman
of the agricultural loan agency of the
War finance corporation.
The function of the committee will
he to obtain the co-operation of bank
insr institutions of the region to
finance the marketing and warchous
ing of corn for feeding purposes,
"Years ago, when there was a tern
oorarr laree surplus, cribbing corn
was successfully undertaken in car
rying over the surplus until a stabil
ized market was established," Mr,
Thomas said yesterday.
Problem I( Distribution,
"It now is belie'ved that ways may
be found by which a considerable part
of the large surplus on hand may b
afelv stored and financed on
sound business basi, until it can be
marketed or utilized with benefit to
the farmers in the corn belt as well
as to the entire nation. Preservation
of the surplus v against the time of
diminished production is in line with
a sound economic and financial policy.
i "The great problem of today is
distribution, which relates not only to
transportation, but also to financing,
We have had bumper crops for the
last two years, which has resulted in
over-production, while our distribu
tion has been curtailed greatly, due to
the diminished demand abroad for
our products."
"State Warehouse Bill"
By enacting the tPstate warehouse
bill the last legislature made it pos
sible for any farmer, by making ap
plication to the county clerk and pay'
ing a fee of 50 cents, to enroll as i
state warehouse. After the farmer has
gathered his grain he may then, upon
.the payment of an inspection fee of
$5, have the grain graded and meas
ured and obtain a warehouse receipt
which may be pledged as collateral
to a bank or elsewhere.
"The safeguards afforded on such
a warehouse receipt are much greater
than on a chattel mortgage, Mr.
Thomas said. "This is because more
severe penalties are imposed for il
legally withdrawing grain that is un
der protection of this state warehouse
receipt.
Governor McKlevie recently eon
fefred with Eugene Meyer, managing
director, and Mr. Thomas, concern
ing the matter of making substantial
advances on such warehouse receipts,
and was informed that it would be
entirely satisfactory as collateral to
the War Finance corporation.
; Grain Marketed on Hoof.
"It is generally conceded that the
most satisfactory and profitable
method of marketing grain is "on the
hoof," Mr. Thomas said. "In times
of financial stress to the farmer hogs
always have pulled us out of our
difficulties, and there is great confi
dence expressed that they will again
pull us out of the present stringency."
In commenting on freight rates.
Mr. J. nomas gam:
"While the present reduction in
freight rates will help somewhat, the
reduction has not been as great as
anticipated an3 further cuts should
b expected."

C. of C. Budget for
Next Year to Be
Boosted $39,000
Readjustment Plan of Com
missioner Larson Calls for
Equalization of Sub
scriptions of Members.
The Chamber of Commerce will
seek to raise $J,000 over last year i
budget to care for the 1922 program
of the organization tinder the new
readjustment plan adopted by the
chamber, it was stated yesterday by
J. David Larson, commissioner.
The increase is necessary, n.
Larson declared, because the financei
of each separate bureau of the
chamber will be centralized in one
fund. In other words, the Chamber
ftf ('nmnirrrn nroncr will take care
of the assessments and collections of
funds for the bureau ot publicity,
traffic bureau, dues and other ac
counts in one campaign.
Aimed at "Backslider."
Heretofore, members of the cham
ber have been receiving monthly bills
for various bureaus of the chamber.
Under Mr. Larson's readjustment
plan, one subscription from a mem
ber will satisfy assessments to all
bureaus.
The new centralization plan also
is aimed at the "backslider" who has
not been doing his share in the fi
nancial support and activities of the
organization, it was stated.
Equalize Subscriptions.
"It will equalize subscriptions," Mr.
Larson said. "Some business men
are supporting the chamber more
than they should while others are
lending proper aid. Under the re
adjustment plan, the executive com
mittee will know what each mem
ber is able to do."
Though the chamber will not elimi
nate any bureaus or establish others,
Mr. Larson said, the agricultural bu
reau under the direction of Carl R.
Gray will be strengthened in rela
tionship between city and country.
It was not stated when the drive ior
