PRESTON „ ,. • President, American Bankers Association NO class of people has been more diligent in trying ta understand the agricultural problem than the bankers of this country. The agricultural problem is a real problem and demands the best thought of everyone. This country cannot continue along happy lines with only sections of the country prosperous. Prosperity must be passed around if anybody is long to enjoy it. This question cannot be solved by the farmers alone, but the majority opinion is that there is no legislative remedy for agriculture. It is an economic question pure and simple and must be worked out accordingly. A few years ago it was contended that agriculture did not have sufficient credit facilities. That proposition was often made a political question. I do not presume there are many who will question the fact that agriculture now has ample credit facilities. J Mixing Farms and Factories It is a fact that no community and no state has ever become great purely from agriculture. It is not to the interest of New York and other great centers to see the small communities and the agricultural sections losing their wealth and importance. In the end it will T R~ PRESTON react upon them to their disadvantage.# There seems to me a real remedy for these small communities and also (or agriculture. This remedy, which ii the mixing of industry with agriculture, is now being applied in many localities with satisfactory results. Industry and agriculture are better balahced in Ohio, North Carolina and Pennsylvania than in any other states of the Union, and In these states there is no serious agricultural problem and we hear little complaint from the farmers. This mixing of Industry ins examples from my own state te prove this proposition, and 1 mention these because I am more familiar with conditions there than elsewhere. Twelve years ago Kingsport, Tennessee. had a population of abont on* thousand. Great industries like S large camera company, a big oemeat plant and a number of other industries were located there partly threugh the influence of an outstanding New York business man In a little mors Mixing Industry With Agriculture Means Prosperity for Rural Districts awl agriculture is called by mm decentralization of industry. I would not suggest that manufacturing institutions move from the cities to the small villages, but I do think it would be better for this country for future industries to be placed In these small villages rather than to be further congested In the great centers. ThiB would in part also be a solution of our labor problem. The bringing of industries to small villages increases the market for agricultural products, gives employment to surplus labor, elevates the standards of living, increases public revenue, reduces taxes and vastly Increases educational facilities. Two Striking Examples 1 believe 1 can give you two strikthan twelve years these have brought the population of that city us to seventeen thousand. Just a few mile* away, at Eiizabethton, they are building a great rayon plant, the first unit to cost $5,000,000. The population ot stjhat^ttHFif is now two thousand, but it is estimated that this will be multiplied by Ave In less than two years. It is stated that the total Investment in manufacturing industry in that community within a period of Ave years will probably reach $50,000,000. The balancing of industry and agrlculture will solve most of our so-called agricultural problems and we will not need such political measures as will in my opinion, do harm if enacted to the very class they pretend to benefit 1INGWOOD Personals Mrs. John M.
