adjusting the carburetor, swallow
tail coats, as we'll as the length OF a
pillow line or how to wrap up the
grass with a sweep.
In this bunch are men VINO are
broad enough to see with both eyes
at the same time, and to view a
subject without turning on the S'oe
like a sun fish.
They have argued some like this
that a farmer with a farm is a Nigh
~ valuable thing for a community.
BIZ. that a farmer with a farm, and
not enough capital to run 1t is IKE
a iddle without a string.
They have been thinking. They
figure that the community is interest
ed in having a farmer farm his farm
il he has a farm, and that 1t IS the
business Of the community to see
that the mills are operated.
If a farmer has a farm. and a
desire to work it, and no capital,
these Sand Hill fellows think he
should have capital so his establish
have Matched up a plan to get capital
for him.
Every season come to PinehurSt a
lot of people who bring with them
impedimenta in the shape Of sur
plus money that burdens them. The
Sand Hill farmers are trying to in
terest some Of hat surperfuous
money in the farms Of this country,
and they are not doing any graft
game, or begging stunt. They have
worked out a strictly legitimate and
logical proposition. The association
has investigated the producing power
of some Of the farms Of this section.
The capital invested has been ascer-
tanned, the character Of the farmer,
- ~-1r &C a- h0-4c4 - hut oo q "
Industrious man, as an aggressive
hustler, as a worker, as a sensible
manager, and every other thing that
| goes to make an investment good or
bad. They have ciphered out the
| likelihood of the farmer making good
if he can command capital. They have
considered how fast he can pay back
q loan.
The Associations Desire.
With all the facts that any mar
could need, and a lot more to make
up a good commercial rating, the as
ISOLATION goes before the electric
pocketbooks Of those who come from
the land of Golden Fleeces, and thu
desire is to establish between tn
people Of burdensome wealth, and tn
people Of productive ability those Ger
tain relations hat will be beneficial
for both.
These men of the association hav
been weighing out many measure
for providing credit for the farmer
Of the neighborhood who would b
really benefited by credit. They hav
gone over the ground in a systemati
way. 1t is not the intention to max
, it asy for a farmer to borrow none
just he is a farmer or want
l to borrow. They nave considered
the case of the farmer who is SO sit
. uated that If he has a larger capita
l he can make that capital prOftabl
TO him and to the capital.
These association farmers hav
!. : started with the proper perspective
. They take farming as an industr.
z They realize that capital is necessaT

= they propose to help the farm to cap
: tai just as any other industry is pre-
" vided with capital.
!. A committee Of men thorough
familiar with business 'has been al
pointed, and this committee has Ell
= couraged applications for capital. TT
= applications have been investigate
A number of them have been recon
mended to men of means as wise il
yeStmentS.
n Now, what is to be the result Of til
" project is not yet apparent. 1t is II
expectation hat capital and busine
will be brought together. If h fir
10 experiment is not a success anCth
will be undertaken.

Z, IS the aim of a trust company, r

l. concern Will ultimately have a capt.
is Of $500, 600, which it is the intenti
us to employ as far as possible in finan
xe ing farm operations and in developi
is local business propositions Of a
sort. The project that the trust col
1T pany is likely to work out is not fu
n defined, as the intention is to be rea
as to meet the growing recurrence
gs rather than to create them. The {
sire is to be able to fal
schemes, and to take them as til
offer.
