4 DRIFT TO CITY FROM FARM IS LAID TO WOMEN Lack of Modern Conveniences Blamed by* Federal Loan Board Official. TALKS BEFORE BANKERS It Is the farmer’s daughter, not his son, who is causing the drift from the farm to the city. This was the declaration of Asbury F. Lever, member of the Federal Farm Loan board, former congressman and author of the Lever food and fuel control act, in a speech to correspondents of the Fletcher Joint Stock Land bank at a dinner at the Claypool hotel last night. “While tfiaking a trip in my own state of South Carolina one day I noticed that in eighteen oat of twenty instances the farm pump was located with reference to convenience to the horse trough in stead of the kitchen,” he said. “I am told that a survey made by Cornell uni versity discloses the same thing in New York state. “The board of agriculture sent out questionnaires to a great number of farmers’ wives, asking what they most desired on the farm. The answers in 99% per cent of the cases was ‘running water,’ ’• Mr. Lever continued. MODERN CONVENIENCES * NEEDED ON FARM. "And there will not be any great back-to-the-farm movement until the farmers and the families of the farmers have the modern conveniences that peo ple have in the cities,” he ad^pd. **We have been thinking too long of the farmer’s earnings in the terms qf wages. This can not go on. Farming is a great profession, requiring education, ability and a large investment. The boys and girls of today, who are being edu cated at agricultural colleges, who are thinking in modern terms, will not permit this to continue. And I think it ought not to continue.” Former Congressman Lever spoke of the results obtained by the operation of the federal farm loan banks and the fed eral joint stock land banks, provided for under the farm loan act. Through these instruments the farmer ean negotiate long-term loaqs. of thirty four and forty-year periods, paying off the loan by annual payments. Already, he declared, the results are gratifying. Farmers are able to extend their opera tions, to make improvements and to plan a business campaign years ahead. FAVORS TWO BANKING SYSTEMS. The federal farm loan banks, he ex plained, are operated on co-operative plan and the joint stock land banks are operated on a non-co-operative plan. Both have their advantages and both 6bould be retained, he said. Evans Woollen, head of the Fletcher Savings and Trust Company and the Fletcher Joint Stock Land bank, said that there now is being made an effort to legislate out of existence the joint stock land, hanks. The Fletcher institu tion, he said, has ioaned nearly $5,000,000 to farmers in Indiana in the two and one-half years it has been in operation. Mr. Woollen.said he believed the joint stock bank had contributed to the devel opment of the agricultural resources of Indiana. If the joint stock banks are legislated out of existence the bankers will continue to function in other ways, he said, and told the eorrespondejit-ooun try bankers who were present that they, who are closer* to the farmer than any one, and the farmer should determine if they wished the system retained. William B. Schlltges, treasurer qf the joint stock bank, presided at a round table discussion of various phases of the -tiuslness. Hits Store Keeper, and Runs With Shoes What it takes to get a pair of shoes a husky colored man had today, accord ing to a report to Patrolman Everson by Solomon Sapirie, who owns a shoe store at 829 Indiana avenue. Sapirie, who was the only person in the store-when the ne gro entered, was struck over the head, he said. While Sapirie was counting stars the thief departed with a pair of good shoes. Roy Brazeau, Your Wife is 111 in Ohio An effort is being made today to lo cate Roy Brazeau, 25, in Indianapolis to notify him of the serious illness of his wife, who is in a hospital in Elyria, O. Brazeau was supposed to reach In dianapolis from Cairo. 111., early today. Police officers met the trains, but failed to nod Brazeau.
