cabinet which took from Lork Kitche-

of war. Lloyd-George was given the
place of minister of munitions in the
new cabinet, with the result that the

Northcliffe was denounced by every
Briton who was too stupid to see that
high explosives must be provided the
army. In the face of condemnation
he stuck to his course, and drove the
government to action. His sagacity

money available on good farm loans any where in the United States at low interest rates, cutting out commissions and fees.
 The federal reserve board is given gem eral control over the system. The loans are confined to first mortgages and first liens on farm lands The executive of- ficer Is called the national farm loan com missioner.
 The local units arc called national farm loan associations, with authority to make loans on farm lands within a specified district. They are to receive a charter from the national farm loan commissioner. Their sole function is to make farm loans not exceeding siooo, to any person. and not exceeding 50 per cent of the appraised value of the property. They will not be allowed to receive deposits subject to check or to loan money on anything but first mortgages
 Each farm loan association will be re- quired to contribute not less than 10 per cent of it's capital stock to the capital of the federal land banks, of which there will be one for each federal reserve dis trict.
 The farm loan associations may redis- count their loans with the land banks Tor the districts, thus obtaining new funds to loan to borrowers in their particular localities. They may proceed to making loans and assigning them to the federal land banks for cash until they have loaned 20 times the amount of their capi- tai

The Rural Credits Measure

By United States Senator Henry F. Hol
 lis, Co-Author of the Hollis-Bulkley
 Rural Credits Bill.
 I now have reason to believe that the Hollis-Bulkley rural credits bill will be passed at this session of Congress. Con ferences have recently been held at the White House and at the capitol to con- sider the pressing need for this legisla- ton. and at these conferences the gen eral plan which Representative BullSley and propose has been approved.
 This bill is in no sense a partisan measure. It is the joint work of demo- crats and republicans. and its main features have the substantially unani- tees of the House and Senate. It is a fair compromise of the various views of students of rural credits problem.
 There are two main schools of thought on this subject-the radical and con servative. The radical would have the federal government borrow money on its bonds and make loans directly to the farmer at per cent or even less This is the extreme of so-called government aid. The conservatives would provide byStcBl Oi idnu pduhS, OTlISiu6 tHt farmer and the investor together for their mutual profit and advantage. but provid- ing no government aid.
 The tendency to abandon agriculture and seek the larger centers of population has become a national menace In this country and in Europe. It increases the cost of living and causes a one sided de- velopment. Most civilized nations are al- ready offering direct aid and other in- ducements to persuade people back to the land. The subcommittees on rural credits of Congress believe that the United States can well afford the mod crate encouragement provided by this bill.
 Speaking generally. the pending rural credits bill follows the lines of the fed- eral reserve act, and it is intended to supplement that measure. The federal reserve act was enacted for the particu- lar benefit of commercial banks, and for the better handling and greater ease of short-time loans. It was intended to sat- isfy commercial needs. The pending bill Is for the benefit of farmers. so that they may work with better and more effec- tive instrumentalties in their vacations; longtime loans. with small yearly pay ments, at a low rate of interest
 Farm mortgage loans in the United States aggregate over 5000. 600. The farmers are paying monthly for the use of this vast sum from 5 per cent to 9 per cent. Largely in guise of commissions, lawyers fees and renewal feess It is the object Of the rural credits bill to make

The Regional Banks

By William Ingle. Federal Agent of the
 Fifth District Regional Bank at Rich
 mond
 On the morning of November 16, 1914 the Secretary of the Treasury formally declared the federal reserve act to be in effect, and coincident with the an- nouncement 12 federal reserve banks in as many districts as laid out in the country, opened for business.
 In it's conduct the several banks, as indeed the federal reserve board in Washington, and through it the act itself have been subjected to criticism, much of which suggests that those responsible for it possibly not only held an improper conception of the purpose of the law, but were unappreciative of it's benefits al- ready experienced. These were none the less real for the reason that apparently in many cases they have not been recog nized
 It is evident that there existed in many quarters an impression that the moment the reserve banks were established their first purpose would be to use their re- sources in making loans to their members at rates materially lower than those which had been prevailing since August f. and thus as matter of competition bring about a general reduction in the price of money. When therefore the federal board approved only minimum rate of per cent to be announced by the several reserve banks, many wondered why it was that the law was enacted.
 Furthermore, in following not only the letter but the intent of the law the board in defining the several classes of paper to be acceptable under discount with the reserve bank, formulated certain regula- tions which have been criticized as be- ing impractical and as demanding the unattainable. In so far as these regula- tions imposed conditions which for the present could not be met, they have been amended, although it is appreciated that In the presence of what should universally be held to be a proper and usual record of credit information of the borrowing customers of a bank, it would work no hardship to supply reserve bank with pertinent facts bearing upon the value of paper offered for discount
 While. therefore, the date January 15, after which specific credit information was to be attached to offered papers. has been postponed to an indefinite date in the future it will probably be found to be true that the board has not in definitely yielded it's purpose to establish a countrywide bureau of credit informa- ton, not only for use of the reserve banks. but for the benefit of their members most of whom until now have been without credit files or information worthy the name
 Superficially considered, situation in which high discount rates on paper which with it's attendant information, 1t was claimed could not be furnished, did not

Bright for South

By Fairfax Harrison, President of the Southern Railway.
 Because of it's effect on the market l Tor cotton, the European war has greatly disturbed business conditions in the south
 However, the agricultural and indus- trial progress of the south, which has been one or the most noteworthy fea- lures of the economic history of the united States for some years past, has been only temporarily retarded. The world must have cotton. The demand
 both for export and for American miiis
 Is increasing, and there has been a sub stantial advance in price since the low
 point when the depression was at it's
 worst. With a larger movement of cot
 ton there will come increased demand for merchandise of all kinds in the south and a general revival of business.
 Southern farmers are meeting the situa- ton confronting them by planning to re- duce the acreage of cotton planted in 1915 and tc devote the land thus reeas ased From cotton to other crops and to live stock. The statistics of the United States department of agriculture and reports of the agricultural agents of the Southern Railway company show substantial in- oreases in the acreage planted in fall grains in every southern state and the prospects are that larger acreage of corn will be planted in the spring. With a smaller crop of cotton, southern farm CTS will be assured of better price for the crop of 1914 which must be carried over and, with larger production of Grain they will profit from the inevi- table European demand, resulting from the withdrawal of millions of men and draft animals from agriculture in the countries which are at war
 Southern manufacturing is based on the solid economic ground of the con version of southern raw materials into articles for consumption and there is no part of the United States in which manufacturers are better situated to take advantage of the increased opportunities for export business brought about by the disarrangement of the foreign trade of Europe. This is especially true with reference to the markets of the south end Central American countries. and the reports of the South American agent of the Southern Railway company show that many southern manufacturers fully realize the opportunities in those coun- tries and are taking intelligent steps to secure share of their trade
 While it may be sometime before a normal condition of southern prosperity shall be restored, believe that, taking into consideration all existing conditions and tendencies, we may look forward to gradual improvement throughout the year 1915.
