The corn crop as estimated by the state depart­ ment . of agriculture- approximated 160,000,000 bushels and was worth about $64,000,000, while the state wheat crop’ of 28,000,000 bushels was sold for approximately $28,000,000. but the fruTts pf this great fortune practically were lost when a sum of money equivalent to the corn and wheat crop receipts was -"weened" from farmers by . a horde of wily salesmen, who staged the greatest worthless investment orgy ever per­ petrated in Ohio. Protection Offered, The city man also was duped, but the farmer felt, his losses more be­ cause his revenue'was.’ curtailed to a greater extent through a drop in the price .of agricultural products. Al­ though somewhat late, steps are be­ ing taken to-protect the investor to a greater extent than the protection offered by the state blue sky depart­ ment, Ohio's blue sky law probably has hindered the swindlers many times, but it has not stopped their work. In a number of Ohio cities commissions are being organised to combat the sales programs’ o f those who sell worthless stocks. Protec­ tion now also la being offered the farmer by the Ohio .Farm Bureau Federation, which has established an excellent department for Investigat­ ing Investment schemes. But perhaps the best facilities for investment in­ vestigation Is offered by the building, loan and savings institutions in Ohio, There are more than 700 such institu­ tions in the state, with representation practically In .every county. Because of easy accessibility they form an ideal agency for the dissemination o f news regarding stock selling schemes. Should Seek Safety, 1Many thousands o f dollars, were saved Ohio farmers by these institu­ tions last year. Of the thousands of dollars placed bn deposit with them not & single dollar was lost. Quite a contrast to the experience o f those WhO invested their savings in worth­ less securities. On the other hand building, and loan ’ institutions ren­ dered/first aid to X2,0Q0 farmers, with loans o f approximately $50,000,000.,- "Tha farmer will make monoy in the long run by being content vith a fair rate o f interest apd secm.ng absolute protection, for* his principal," according to James A, Devine, secre­ tary of the Ohio Building Association League. Devine declared that too many peo­ ple did not think o f their local finan­ cial institutions until they wanted to borrow money. He suggested that farmers keep their savings in their local financial institutions, especially such institutions that catered to home financing, so that when they needed money their needs could he filled. "If the farmer as well, as the city man will do this for a year, at the end of that time financial condi­ tion! will be very much better," * ’ That much o f the financial distress among Ohio farmers is due to squan­ dering of savings piled up during the war in worthless investments is De- vine> contention. He said that Ohio farmers "have been victims for the last two years of a systematic cam­ paign of extortion which has' almost wipeq, out their reserve funds. Many Are Victimized, ■ / ‘There are millions’ o f dollars worth of bad stocks tucked away in the 560,060 rural homes In Ohio," ac­ cording to Devine, who stated "'that funds are still being withdrawn from savings istitutions for the purpose of speculation." Devine said that recent disclosures of financial swindles lit New York and Chicago were "tame" as compared to the orgy that has been staged in 6hfo. He declared that much of the stock that Is being sold in Ohio Is not worth the price of the paper off which the stock is printed. "Stock selling concerns go into a community, select someone o f standing In the community as their sales representative and this indi­ vidual then proceeds to victimize his friends and relatives. In many cases the salesman believes the stock he is selling Is good, having been victim­ ised himself" Financiers all over the state are busy urging the public to investigate before they .invest. There Is no en­ deavor, according to these individ­ uals, to interfere with honest promo­ tion efforts, -hor to stifle new Indus­ tries, but all feel that drastio steps should be taken to stop the general pilfering of the public.
