While sadcened that she is no more

The Question of Farming.
v. Right Use of RaroI Credit.

The advocates of a better system
of rural credit are often criticized
as if they were inviting farmers to
go into debt. That is altogether
to misunderstood the whole move
ment. The question at issue is not
whether the farmer shall borrow
money or not. 1t is rather wheth-
er he shall practice his highly i'm
portant calling in a sound and con-
servatiye business fashion, and
whether his character and profes
sional ability shall have the recog-
milton they deserve as substantial
business assets. Good farming
needs more than muscle and in
dustry; it requires intelligence,
character, and capital. The coop
erative movement abroad has help
ed to meet these needs. Ifa farm
er robs his land, or plants the
wrong crop, he lacks either intel
ligence or training. The coopera-
tive credit union brings the lack
home to him, and helps to remedy
the trouble. If he is lazy, dissi-
pated, or untrustworthy, his cred
it suffers; he must do better, or
torego the advantages that his
neighbors enjoy. If he lacks cap.
ital to do his work to advantage,
the cooperative credit union not
only helps him to get it at reason
able rates, but may exercise a
friendly supervision over his use
of it.
To the average American farm
er that may seem like a very un-
welcome condition to a loan. The
man who borrows in the expecta-
tion Of buying stock for his farm
wants to feel at liberty to change
his mind, and to spend the money
on a trip to New York if he
chooses. Cooperative credit says
that that is bad business, which
it cannot sanction. Money bor-
rowed from what is in a sense the
common fund must be productive
ly spent. If it be the proceeds of
a mortgage, it ought to. go into cap
ital account, for tie purchase of
land to be actually farIned, or for
permanent Improvements that will
incnsasethe pAedustss's II 4ad'sastU
Of the farm. IF it be the proceeds
of a shortstime loan, it must be
spent for some means necessary to
the making Of a crop, like the pur-
chase of machinery, or payment
of wages. In Farmers Bulletin
593, Prof. T. N. Carver, director
of the United States rural organ
ization service, has found five rules
for the right use of a loan by the
farmer:
1. Make sure that the purpose
for which the borrowed money is
to be used win produce return
greater than is needed to pay the
debt.
2. The contract should provide
for the repayment of the debt at
a time when the farmer is most
.likely to have money in hand.
8. The time the debt is to run
should bear a close relation to the
productive life of the improve
ment for which the money is bor-
|aro wed; that is, a loan for the pur-
kchase of a machine should never
sbe made for longer time than the
probable life of the machine itself.
4. Provision should be made i'll
THE long time loan for the gradual
reduction of the principal.
5. AS low rates. of interest as
possible should be secured.
4 We commend this little PAIN
Kphlet to all our readers who would
make their borrowing profitable
Instead of burdensome.-EX.

Thoughts From the
Aberdeen Examiner
(MAJ. s. A'JoNAs. Editor.)
England in the War.

England in the War.
England is perfectly willing that
her ''great battle for European
MANHOOD shall be fought by Bel
gians, Russians, Japs, Hindus,
Canadians and Australians, with
such assistance as the French may
be able to give her.-Memphis
News.Scimitar.
Our Memphis contemporary has
not kept up with the procession or
it would realize that England,
which is not strictly a military
nation but like the United States
depends upon the volunteer sys-
tenn for recruits has now at the
front and in camps OF. instruction
nearly half a million men, has call
ed for half a million more, and &C
cording to all dispatches is bat,
tling wherever the fight goes hard
est" In addition to that it is pro-
tecting and controlling the ocean
road ways of the world and has
driven the powerful German navy
to cover that but for it would in
cooperation with the Austrians
contingent have swept France and
Russia from the sea. More than
all, by it's powerful financial re-
sources it will be able, as in Napo-
leon's days, to, supply the sinews
of war to it's allies after the re-
sources of their antagonists are ex-
austed. But for the British navy
the costs of France and Russia
would be ravaged, and but for that
wonderful British army in Fronce,
the Kaiser like his grandfather
would probably again be debating
terms of indemnity and surrender
within the walls of Paris. Ger
many fully understands this, hence
it holds Great Britain responsible
for all the troubles it is encount-
ering and the German antagonism
to that nation is peculiarly bitter.
German.did not regard the issue
as doubtful until Great Britian de-
clared war as the protector Of the
itegrity and life of Belgium and
Holland.

1t is not hard to understand the
dire results of a crop failure among
the peasantry of the old world
whose holdings as tenants, at high
rental, amounts to from three to
ten acres, but here in this region
of land owners, large areas, low
rents and long producing seasons,
ii is ridiculous to talk of distress
as following a single mishap in
crop or price of staple. A con-
fession Of such a condition is an
admission of slovenly farming, and
we deny that much a state Of af-
fairs charaeterizes southern agri-
culture. Every landholder in
Mississippi can make a living and
every farm tenant gets a lining
whether he makes it or not.

1t is a great mistake to suppose
that the non cotton producing

staple. To them it means cheaper

people have put on mourning ii

west found itself with a three hun
dred million bushels surplus crop

but the great ranchers, and put.

half dollars a barrel to the cotton

As we have before remarked,
our people are the biggest produc-
ers and smallest consumers of cot
ton in the world, and yet we are
always calling upon the govern
ment to do something to advance
the demand for cotton and cotton
products, such efforts if made
should begin with a campaign in
the southern belt, to induce the
southern people to substitute cot
ton for woolen linen, silk and ramie
in their clothing.
