A Government Scheme IN Rus
sia that Satisfies the Farmers.

n 6OVtrnfutut ochouiN Nv ihUs-
sia that Satisfies the Farmers.
Consul General Crawford, al
st. Petersburg, has transmitted
to the Department of State a re.
port upen the details and work
ings of a system now in practice
in Russia Resembling certain
plans incorporated in the plat
form of the Farmers Alliance
Of this country Of making ad
vances on farmers grain stored
in warehouses or delivered to
officials of railways Of the coun-
try. The salient points of the
system, briefly stated, are as
follows:
The advance on grain may be
made by any railway company
on account of the Imperial
Bank of Russia, authorized by
the ministry of finance. They
must not exceed go per cent. OF
the value of the grain at the
nearnest market place, except
i'm cases of loans for six weeks
or less, when 80 per cent. ad-
vance may be obtained, The
usual interest is 6 per cent.
payable in advance, with fur
ther small charges on account
of a sinking fund aud commits
sions to railroads.
The loans range from six
months to one year, and, if not
repaid at their expiration, the
grain is sold by the railroad
company at auction. Grain
may also be sold in danger of
deterioration or if it is feared
that the value will not cover
the loan and expenses of stor-
age. The railroad companies
bear the entire responsibility for
the loans by the bank and are
required to meet their liabilities
within seven days of settlement
of a loan or auction sale OF
grain. In calculating the per-
centage of advance the cost oi
transportation to the point oi
destination is charged as part
of the loan. No distinction is
made between farmers anC
middlemen in making advances
the loan being made only OF
the grain.
In conclusion, the Consu
General says:
This scheme went into effec
on June 1926, 1883, and at tn,
present day it is generally ad
opted throughout the country
and business is carried on un'
der it on a very large scale.
should also add that the schem,
gives great satisfaction to tn,
farmers, many of whom de
clares that it has been an es
sential feature of successful
farming in Russia.-Washing

1T Is a fact that in general
the greatest naturalisGs have
been SLOW TO learn from BOOKS
fhey learn from things, not
from books. Darwin was very
slow. At eight years old he
knew little Of printed lessons,
out had a notable COLLECTION al
shells, plants, coins and miner
ais. IL may comfort some pa
rents to remember that I'm hts
childhood Darwin was i great
liar, that is to say a liar in the
line of boasting of what wonder
ful things he could do by his
experimenting. his imagina
ton was 50 powerful that h,
seemed not always to know tht
difference between what wa
really true and what he imagin
ed TO be true. Not all youthful
liars make Darwins however.

that the increase in the length
of our day, produced by
tidal action, has nearly the

which results from the con-

secular cooling, and that the
two compensating effects keep
the length of the sideral day
