ANCIENT FARM PLAN

States the solution of the problem Of
farm finance might be found in an en-
largement of the operations Of exist
ing banks. Sig. Martelli, president OF
the Savings bank of Florence, de-
scribed a practice common with banks
about Florence whereby the farmer
gives a mortgage to a bank and re-
ceiyes in return an open account for
certain amount of credit. Thus a
farmer who considers that he needs
a credit of $4,000 to operate his farm
gives a mortgage for that amount to
the bank. AS he needs the money
he draws on the bank. He pays in
terest only on the amount on which he
borrows.
For the longtime loans Of the farm
ers the savings banks are allowed to
invest up to 80 per cent. of their de-
posits in farm mortgages. These mort
cages are of two classes-for periods
up to ten years and for periods Of
from 10 to 80 years.
The shorter-term mortgage loans are
sum, as in the United States, but
the longerterm loans are repaid by
amortization-that is, small annual
payments made upon the principal Of
the loan. The banks are only per-
mitted to charge borrowers one-half
per cent more than they are required
to pay depositors. At the present
time the prevalent rate is five per
cent, though generally it Is four per

Nature can do this, and does do it in
the plants and in the animals, and in
our human bodies.
Although this fact has long been
known the process was regarded as
something very mysterious, and as a
vital act which could not be initiated
by man.
But man can now make synthetic in
digo and whole line of brilliant artifi-
cial dyes far more varied than nature
ever dreamed of making. And ne can
make artificial sugar, although it is at
present dear.
This is only the beginning of the
new synthetic chemistry. 1t will not

NITRATE FROM GAS.
But there are now two chemical pro
cesses in commercial operation which
promise very we'll, and only recently a
German professor has discovered a
way of making nitrate from the waste
gas from furnaces and blast furnaces.
He explOdes the gas with mixture OF
air just as in ordinary automobile
engine.
All this has come within the last ten
years. Any day may see a new pro-
cess which will priduce nitrate for a
few dollars per ton.
Cheap nitrate and cheap sugar will
almost surely mean cheap artificial
meat.
+ At present only about 20 per cent
of the human race has reached any

More than two-thirds of the earth's
population is still stepped in the dens-

is often due to borers or the scale

which has not hem detected or sus-
pected, but which injuries might have
been prevented if the facts had been
known in time. More sudden losses
are caused by overwhelming attacks
of leaf-eating insects, which, although
conspicuous, are not dealt with be-
cause proper measures of procedure
are not known.
But, of late years, great work has
been accomplished along this line
through proper experiments and OBJ
servations. Careful examinations are
being made of the affected trees and
shrubs and the life history of the
insects causing the injuries is being
studied deeply. This is in order that
authorities in control of parks, boule-
wards and streets, and owners of
lawns and other private premises may
become posted Oh the habits and char
acteristics Of the pests, and know
how to combat them.
Take, for instance, the elm tree.
The spraying of large elms is, of
course, difficult and expensive oper-
alton, and the canker,worms, WHICH
cause great injury to these trees, are
less susceptible to arsenical poisons
than many other. insects. A cheau
and efficient method of projecting the
tree is the preparation of adhesive
preparations, for trapping the insects
which creep up or down the trunks

/ When the elm caterpillars are full
grown they leave the tree to, pupate
in the earth, and the female moth
emerging, being wholly without wings
can only reach the tree to lay her
eggs by climbing up the trunk. II

a sticky band impossible by her or
