II. He says:
In becoming practically the sole il.
suer Of currency, the government has
assumed the duty of supplying the
needs of the public for a circulating
medium.
To suppose, then, that the govern
ment shall "supply the needs of the
public for q circulating medium" is not
new thing. That responsibility has
already been assumed. The only new
feature proposed is, that the ''circulat-
ing medium" shall be supplied
to the "publ:c" at cost, and not,
as now, largely through banks and
loan agencies which charge six to ten
times as much for the part they per-
form as the government can afford to
supply 1t for through its own agencies
specially provided.
Nor is itproposed to interfere in any
manner either directly or indirectly
with any existing Investment or con.
tract. Obligations of contracts are sa-
cred and must be respected. Congress

the whole matter il in the hands of

But by what means shall the needed
amount Of money be obtained by the

to 20 inches in height, then it will take
care of itself till cutting time. When
ready to cut, and right here is one OF
the great mistakes; have never seen
a crop cut too green, and much is over
ripe, brush is red tipped and is from
$50 to $40 damaged per ton. As soon
as it is we'll headed out, and the blow
is Oft half the seed, go to cutting.
Now is the time you have to hurry.
Cut and seed, and seed it clean, as fast
a. you can. Spread 10 shed to dry
not over two inches thick on racks.
1t will cure out in four or five days 60
you can pile is inches, leaving a space
Of few inches between the tiers. AS
soon as dry bulk down; let it remain
week or ten days as it will go through
a sweat In this time.
: Now it is ready to bale. When bal.
ing have q good long table for keeping
the butts Of brush even by holking
loosely in your AIMS and churning it
on the table. Don't make any bale
over 275 to 800 pounds. Use none but
No. 8 wire and bale as tight as can be
done. When baling you can advertise
your business by putting your card,
with post office address, in each bale,
and you will soon be known by a large
number of manufacturers who
would write you for broom corn in
future years. Let our county get a
reputation for handling this crop with
care aud ueatness and You will find
there il money In the business, and
plenty of buyers in the field, aud our
crop ali cold before those further
north are done cutting.
Yours Respectfully,
