WHAT THE WILSON ADMINISTRATION HAS DONE FOR THE
FARMER
In no equal Njiace of time in tlie history of tin- world Iwts one
tenth as mueli been nccompli.slicil in a legislative and udmini.sli ative
way for the benefit, of the farmer as has licit done din ing the Wilson
ndmiiMstration. A simple review of its record demonstrates beyond
tjuestion the fact.
Financial and Commercial
The Kural Credits law, inaugurated and enacted by the Wilson
lulministration, affords to the farmers of the country eijiial facilities
in the matter of borrow itig money as are afforded to other business
men. Not only will they be able to borrow money as readily as oth
ers, but on the same terms, and the lowering of the interest rates and
the cutting out of commissions and expenses which result from this
law, will annually save hundreds of millions of dollars to the farmers
of the nation. This taw alone merits for the Wilson administration
the cordial support ami approval of all farmers and farm owners.
This sentence from President Wilson's speech of acceptance
states only an accomplished fact:
"For the farmers of the country we have virtually created com
mercial credit, by means of the Federal Reserve law and the Rural
Credit law. They now have the same standing as other business men
in the money market."
The Federal Reserve act helped a great deal the farmer, along
with all other business men, by making a markei for hundreds of mil
lions of dollars worth of farm mortgages and negotiable paper based
on live stock. Further, it will be recalled how promptly the secretary
of the treasury in this administration furnished all the money needed
and at a low rate, to move the crops to market.
The Wilson shipping or merchant marine law means not only as
sured transportation to foreign countries, free from foreign control or
interference, but lower rates of freight to the farmer for the tremen
dous tonnage of agricultural products he ships to nations abroad.
In the revision of the tariff in the Wilson administration very
careful attention was given to the needs ami rights of the farmer and
his special interests cared for. On the free list are placed agricul
tural tools, implements and machinery and animals imported for
breeding purposes, while the tariff was lowered on other articles he
has to purchase.
A division of Markets and Rural Organization has been created
to study and disseminate information to the farmers as to tin best
methods of transportation, storage, marketing and distribution of ag
ricultural products. How often have farmers seen their products
rotting in cellars or barns, or used in unprofitable ways, when there
was a crying need in many places for these very thinvs; or have seen
some markets glutted until fruits rotted in warehouses or commission
houses, or sold for less than storage charges or even were given away,
when at theVame time other .markets were in want of those very pro
ducts? Such mistakes, such waste, such loss need never occur again.
Information of the needs of the various markets are at the farmer's
'Command, as well as instructions as to standards, transportation, and
storage.
Stock (not livestock) brokers, dealt i s in grain and cotton, meat
products and other commodities (after they have left the farmer's
hands) have long had daily information of market conditions and
quotations. The Wilson administration puts the fanner on a par with
them. Another instance of Democratic "equal rights to all."
The (Jrain Standard law insures uniformity in the grading of
grain, and affords a great protection to the grain growers. The Cot
ton Futures law goes far to protect the cotton growers from the dis
iionc! practices of cotton exchanges and manipulations of the mar
ket. The Warehouse act makes possible the issuance to and use by
the farmer of negotiable warehouse receipts, thus enabling him to
hold his grain for a favorable market, and yet, in the meantime, have
the use of the greater proportion of its value.
' The appropriations for eradication of the cattle tick were dou
bled; that for hog cholera serum quadrupled. Four ami a half mil
lion dollars were spent to fight the foot and mouth disease. The to
tal agricultural appropriations were increased fifty per cent.
Qood Roads
The national encouragement to
building of good roads, whereby
the several stales for road building,
administration to the farmer's very gate. And this is but a step in
a great movement.
Transportation is of vital importance to the farmer. The load
of grain or potatoes or tobacco or bale of cotton is worth to the farm
er its value at the market less the cost of getting it there, including
the cost of hauling to the railroad station from the farm. This is the
dollar and cent value of good roads. Hut an even irrcater value is the
facilities they afford for the better education, the easier access to
church and school, the bettering and increasing of the social life of
the farmer, his wife, his boys and gills.
The Commission on Kural Life in America (and due credit is
willingly given the liepuhlicans for this preliminary survey), in its
report, laid special stress on good roads, largely in view of their effect
on the social life of the country districts. The report was made to
the Republican presidt lit and congress in 1!H)!(. It was received; it
was filed; it was published. All action on the matters it dealt with
has been bv the Wilson administration.
Vocational Education
The Kural Life Commission laid great stress also on ihe need for
vocational education for the farmer's boys and girls. The Smith
Hughes Hill will put a vocational course of training in every high
school in the country. It is au extension and an elaboration of the
system by which the national government now aids each state in the
maintenance of its agricultural colleges ami experiment stations.
Agricultural Extension Act
Last in the list but not the least in importance is the Agricultural
Kxtension act which provides for co-operative agricultural extension
work between the agricultural colleges and experiment stations of the
several states and the federal department of agriculture. It is back
ed by an appropriation of !r8,6(X),000, ami will place two agricultural
experts in every county in the nation. It will be of immeasurable
benefit to agriculture and agriculturists.
Thus again the Wilson administration showed its true estimate
of the value of the farmer to the commonwealth, and paid him the at
tention that is his due.
Conclusion
The Wilson administration challenges comparison with its pre
decessors. Let the farmers of the nation fairly and justly compare
their conditions now, the prices they are receiving for their cattle and
agricultural products, with those of 1912 or other years. Let them
compare the legislation in their behalf of ihe Wilson administration
with that of any other. Let them consider the assured improved
prospect ahead of fhem under laws passed by the Wilson administra
tion in their financial, their business and social life.
