Why Farmers Pay High Rates OF
Interest

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside the national farm paper pub
ished at Springfield, Ohio, Judson C.
Welliver, the Washington correspond
ent of that publication, writes an in
.eresting article in which he shows
low farmers have to pay high rates Of
interest in this country because they
have no system of collective credits
such as has been developed for the
benefit of farmers in certain foreign
Countries. The substitution of COM
nunity credit for individual credit is
What always reduces rates of interest
Cities borrow their money at lower
rates of interest than individuals
because they act as community. Fol
owing is an axtract from Mr.. Wei
liver's article showing the rates OF
interest farmers pay in this country al
he present time:
Recently the Department of Agri-
.ulture Investigated jntsrest rates pai6
by farmers all over the country. L
vas found, through statements made
oy several thousand banks in answer
TO questions, that on all loans to farm,
srs, secured and unsecured, the aver.
.ge rates run from trifle under si,
per cent in most of New England
New York, Pennsylvania and New Jer.
sey, up to 1857 per cent in Oklahoma
1857 in New Mexico, 10.15 in Arizona
1913 in Montana, 1910 in North Da
,Sota, 9.97 in Texas, 9.48 in Soutl
Dakota, 9.9S in Georgia, $50 il
Florida, 6.23 in Ohio, CAT in Indiana
6.31 in Illinois, 68S in Michigan, 624
n Wisconsin, 793 in Minnesota, 7.2l
N Iowa, 1928 in Missouri, 6.S6 in Ken
lucky, 8.28 in Louisiana, 9.67 il
Arkansas, 9.37 in Wyoming, 9.24 ir
Colorado, S.61 in Utah, 9.O3 in Nevada
9.92 in Idaho, 500 in Washington, S.32
in Oregon and 7.44sin California.
Broadly, banks accommodate theil
interest rate with reference to the
average balance the borrower may be
expected to carry in the bank. A busi-
ness man borrows $4,000 for ninety
days. It's experience with that man
iustifies the bank in expecting that his
laily balances throughout that ninety
lay period will average $4,000; there.
ore it shades the rate Of interest tt
him. But a farmer borrowing none,
S likely to take the entire amoun;
lway in his wallet, and to maintain 9
mighty unimportant balance during
the period the loan has to run; then
he will sell bunch Of hogs, cattle OF
bin of wheat, and with the proceeds
cay the loan. Because of such condi-
Ions, the farmer must of necessity pay
higher rates for his money because, ii
night be said, he uses it harder"

WOMAN'S COLUMN
much easier when she becomes a
houSekeeper

much easier when she becomes a
housekeeper.
In teaching child to be orderly a
read old-fashioned housekeeper used
to say: "Do not make work and you
will not have to do" and when the
little daughter had grown to woman
hood and had home of her own to
care for she said the compliment be-
longed to her mother when friend
remarked, "You keep your house the
incest with the least amount of work
of any one / ever saw" When she
was sewing she had way of drop
ping every thread and clipping in a
drawer of the machine, so there was
no litter on the floor to be swept or
picked up afterward; when she fin
ished cutting bread, she gathered up
the crumbs at once; it took but a
moment and there was no danger of
their being brushed on the floor She
saved both time and money when she
went shopping by having list pre-
pared beforehand with the exact
amount of each article that she want
ed to purchase, so that she would
not buy either too much or too little
and waste what was left over or have
to return for more, and by having a
pencil and tablet hanging in the kit
chen and writing the name of the ar
ticle as soon as she found she was
out of it there was never any delay
and the carpet sweeper was never put
away half filled with lint and dust to
fall out at the most unexpected time
upon a nicely swept carpet.
These are but a few of one busy
woman's time-savers, but they prove
her practical method Of saving work
by not making it.
Imperial Valley press., 1913-12-20
The Question of Saving Time

One of the best means of saving
time is to cultivate the habit of beng
orderly, says writer in the Christian
Science Monitor. Every article that
/ is threwn down hurriedly must be
picked up sooner or later and put In
its proper place; if it had been taken
care of at first, it would not have
required the second handling. A busy
housewife often speaks of the orderly
habits which were taught by her moth
er, and, although she thought when
she was a child that it was hard al
ways to have to remember to hang
her hat in the closet when she came
in from play instead of throwing it on
the nearest chair, she rejoices now
that she was taught the value of be-
ing orderly and was not allowed to be
careless in her use of time any more
than she was with the clothes she
wore, or the money she was given
to spend. She says that today the
habit has become so thoroughly root
ed that it is far easier for her to
put away her wraps in their place
when she comes in than to throw
them down and be constantly remind
ed by the disorderly appearance OF
the room that she must pick them up.
If for any reason she has not hung
them in their place at once upon COM
ing in, she is sure to do so at the
first opportunity, so that she will not
have TO think of them again. If the
child is taught to pick up her play
things instead of leaving them for
some older person to do, it may be
made a part of the play so that it
will not be hardship and later the
habit formed will help to make work

How to Catch a Wimpuss.

Editor Message: / notice that
a short time since reader of the
Message desired to know some
thing about the Wimpuss. l
would refer the party to Gold
smiths Animated Nature, Vol.
;, page 191, for description of
the bird. A friend Of mine wrote
me a letter once explaining the
usual method of catching a vim
puss which I give below:
a wimpuss grows about as big
as hooglebug, but it has a long
tail like collywop and has wings
IKE a bearcat. 1t lives in the top
OF high trees, whence it flies down
to attack defenseless travellers.
However, no harm is to be feared
from a wimpuss if you know
what to do when you see one
coming. 1t is folly to shoot at
them, for a'wimpuss catches bull
lets IN its teeth and eats them.
The only way to do when a VIM
Pnss comes at you is to take a
small piece of cheese, either
Adam or Swiss, and tack it Sc
curely on a waterfall. The vim.
puSs makes a swoop at the cheese
and gets mixed up with the
waterfall and gets his feet wet
1t makes a wimpuss mad as all
getout when he gets his feet wet
ana so he hunts around for a nice
piece OF grass to dry them on
Inc minute the wimpuss light
on the grass the hunter rushes a
nm and ties his tail in double
Dow-knot. When a wimpuss ha
ms tail tied in double bow-kno
ne is gone, because when he file
ne always ducks his head unde
MS body to see who is followin
Hlm' and in doing this he gets hi
mead caught in the double bow
