Out All Is Not Rosy in Middlewest J MARK Washington D C Jan The only comment in the nature of partial excuse made by any ington authority In reply to the tion oE Iowa farmers is to call at- tention to the banking situation in that state It is claimed that as much of Iowa's trouble is caused by a wrong banking situation within the state as by temporary low prices of corn The point is made rather bl that Iowa should be able to con- trol and remedy its banking whereas Washington cannot control the price corn or at least claims it cannot do so under sound principles The total number in Iowa is given by the treasury here as of which only just about or 327 are national banks The 327 national banks are controlled from Washington while the state banks are controlled by the state Iowa Too Many

field is says that a temporary dron in the price ot corn not to have embarrassed anybody if the Iowa farmer were as well served by his banks as other in- are served by their banks Mistaken Policy According to this authority the real trouble goes back to a en policy pursued by Iowa farmers under the urging of their local bankers last year The average Iowa corn crop is bushels Normally about of it is fed to hogs and only put on the ket for cash In 1924 the corn crop was very els Under that condition because of inadequate corn to feed the hogs the bankers urged the ers to sell off their hogs Then this year came an immense corn crop of bushels Because the hogs had been sold off the Iowa er was compelled to sell an un- usually high percentage of his corn crop for cash with a depresses price for corn as the result The author of this argument says that such crises need not occur if Iowa had as wise and far-sighted ing leadership for its main try as manufacturing communities have for their industries Waking Vp This argument is given for what it is worth because tho source of it has competent experience authority Undoubtedly it does not explain everything The bank failures are not confined to the corn belt In the west as a whole there are ures ot others at the rate of more than 10 a week Aside from hank failures there are other conditions which are at last beginning to im-
