JTTre i?VT>WTyt MARVI.AKTV \\TDXF.SDaY. MARCH 14, 192P>. . Secretary Wallace Discusses Operation Of Farm Credit Act A delegation of senators and repre sentatives called upon Secretary of ■ Agriculture Wallace Saturday to dis cuss the operation of the new farm credit act. Following their visit the Secretary issued the following; "Wuestioug are beiug aßkedas to the y operation of the new credit law. v known as the Agriculture Credits Act e of 1923, and the relation between the e credit facilities provided in this act f and existing institutions, Bueh, for - example, as the War Finance Cor • poratlon and the Federal Warehouse . Act. e “The Agricultural Credits Act does ’. n °t any way interfere with the s functioning of the War Finance Cor j poration. The life of the War Fin . ance Corporation was extended to . February 29, 1924, for the very pur . pose of making sure that there should t be no restriction of credit facilities to . the farmer during the period required . build up thp machinery necessary under the Agricultural Credits Act . The War Finance Corporation has . ample funds and nothing has been done to limit its work. “Title I of the Agricultural Credits Act provides for the establishment of a Federal intermediate credit bank in each of the twelve Federal land bank i districts. These new banks will be managed by the directors and officers of the existing land banks. Immedi ately upon the passage of the act the Federal Farm Loan Board called to Washington the presidents of the land banks from the twelve districts and for a week they have been making plans to start the intermediate credit banks. Each has a capital of five mil lion dollars and therefore can begin loaning as quickly as the organization ” a n be .perfected. These Intermediate credit banks are authorized to dis count and purchase notes given to banks for agricultural and live stock purposes. Also they can make loans direct to co-operative associations on the basis of warehouse receipts or mortgages on live stock. “A local bank which has loaned money to its farmer customers for agricultural purposes and has taken their notes for the loans can discount these notes with the intermediate credit banks. It is not necessary that he notes so discounted should have back of them chattel mortgages or warehouse receipts. The intermedi ate hanks can give terms of credit ranging from six months to as much as three years. “The agricultural credit corpora- Gons authorized under Title II of the ' METHODISTS IN APPEAL FOR EVHUSDC DRIVE (By The Associated Tress.) CHICAGO, Mar. 14—“ The call to ■epentance has never been revoked.” ;ays the Board of Bishops of the .fethodlst Episcopal Church in anap eal for an intensive evangelistic ef ort on the part of all members of lie church, issued today by the Cotn nittee on Conservation and Advance hrough its corresponding secretary, )r. R. J. Wade, Chicago. “The unsaved multitudes are as 'estitute of the gospel and a personal iterest in the atonement of Jesus hrist as the far-off heathen for hose salvation we give and pray.” iys the appeal. “Shall not bishops, superinten 'ents, pastors, college presidents, cague leaders, Sunday school teach ers, laymen and all our loyal mem bers dedicate themselves to some defi dte form of soul-winning endeavor? “Shall we not now give ourselves vithout reserve to an intensive evan elietic effort? That will mean that tur pulpits shall flame with an evan gelistic passion; that our pews shall •atch the fire. It will mean that the nembers of our women’s missionary societies shall turn their extraordi lary organization talent and hound ess enthusiasm into the channels of personal evangelism. It will mean, hat for a season, all the forces of ‘he local church shall be focused tpon this one thing, and be fired by this one dominating purpose and pas sion. “Shall we not go in for a prayer ful, systematic, passionate, unyielding noveinent to arouse the church and he community to a sense of their spiritual need? Shall wo not pray vithout ceasing and labor with ac ual desperation for the mightiest re vival of religion which has ever come to our church? “That revival should start in thirty thousand Methodist Episcopal serv ices. “And it must not cease until its vializing power has been carried ev erywhere.” WOMEN MAY BECOME SEA CAPTAINS IN BRITAIN I (By The AmotlslmC Press.) LONDON. Mar. 13.—Women are ' digible for sea captains certificates. * is the ruling of the Board of Trade in reply to a question on the sub ' ject from the Imperial* Merchant Service Guild. The Board says it would not refuse to examine a can didate for a certificate of competency t on the ground of sex if the eondi r tions as to service and testimonials, i, laid down in their regulations, were complied with. t The question arose through the case p of a Miss Drummond, who recently - went to sea as au engineer, and the p Guild wished to have it made clear If - women could go further in the pro -1 fession. • i act are not government corporations f but are under i)overnment superri - si#u. The loans which they make will i probably lie based on paper which has - j ba <*k of it either chattel mortgages in the case of live stock or warehouse ? receipts in the case of farm products. . “The United States Warehouse Act t has an important relation to the new ; credit system. It provides a permis t sive system of licensing warehouse r men by the Secretary of Agriculture - ; At the present time there are 360 ? licensed cotton warehouses. 227 li { censed grain warehouses, 20 licensed i! wool warehouses, and 62 licensed to - bacco warehouses. The licensed - capacity for cotton is now sufficient to store at one time about one-fourth of > a normal cotton crop, and for wool about one-sixth of the annual crop I Originally the law limited licensed i warehouse commodities to cotton. [ wool* tobacco and grain. On Febru r ary 23 the law was so amended as to remove the limitations and under the ; present law the Secretary of Agricul ture can license a warehouse for the storage of any products which he con i aiders would constitute sound col lateral. Also he can license inspec tors and samplers of commodities stored in warehouses, as well as graders and weighers. Receipts issued by Federal licensed warehouses are accepted by banks and financial insti tutions everywhere as sound col lateral and there should be no diffi culty in making advantageous loans based on such collateral. Not only the intermediate credit banks and the agricultural credit corporations, hut other hanks as well, will no doubt be glad to handle such paper. “It will be seen from the foregoing that bankers in agricultural sections should be able to loan freely to farmers for productive purposes and for a longer term than heretofore, be cause they have assurance that they can readily discount farmers’ notes taken for such loans at the interniedi- j ate credit banks. Consequently I can j £ee no good r'eason why farmers who 1 are entitled to credit should not get l what they need. ■ “To get the full benefit of the pro visions for marketing credit farmers should see to it that the warehouses in which they expect to store their products on the way to market are li-1 censed under the Federal law. There should be a very large increase in the ( number of warehouses which handle grain and other farm products. Ample j credit can be secuyd on all farm products stored in Federal licensed warehouses. This makes it possible to market farm products in a more orderly way and to avoid flooding the market and depressing the price. “Full information concerning the Warehouse Act and the rules and regulations under which it is admin istered .can be had by anyone who will j write to the Department of Agricul- j ture at Washington.” MEASLES I may be followed by serious I I cold troubles; use nightly— Vi^KS ▼ Vapoßub Over 17 Million Jan Used Yearly WHY BUY ANY KIND of glasses merely because they are glasses?

SM ( POrLTRY POINTERS Never allows fowls to drink stag nant water. There is no danger, of getting the hen house too clean. An excitable hen will as a rule have excitable chicks. Duck eggs decay rapidly and should j be incubated while fresh. New blood not only infuses new j life, but insures good health. Plenty of charcoal and grit should be within the reach of every fowl and chick on your place. The early broiler or fry is the prof itable one; most good breeding birds are hatched early, too. More chicks are hatched during the last of April and in the “merry month of May" than at any other season. The most trouble among young chicks is continued dampness, wet and cold, along with filth or improper ; feediug. Don't wait for the hot weather to look out for insect pests. Take the matter in hand now so when summer comes it will not be difficult to keep the poultry houses free from vermin. ; —Farm Life.
