Certified reports ffoh 11S members
Of the Boys, Corn Clubs show an aver.
age yield OF 6S.S bushels OF shelled
corn, at q cost Of thirty-ffye cents per
apushel Twelve boys produced more
than 100 bushels and two boys pro-
drced 132 btshels each. The cost per
bustei was greatly reduced as the
Yields increased, the 100 bushel crops
costing twenty-four cents per bustel,
and the 1913 bushel yields being Sc
cured, at the low cost o. sixteen cents
per bushel.
Careful records Of costs and profits
were kept and 1t was found that the
twelve bodybuilding acres required
about 10S hours worl, to produce each
acre The profits average $77.92. This
means an. actual return Of about 81 10
for each ten hour day spent in grow
Ing the corn crop.
One OF the most intresting points
brought out in the 1914 contest was
the fact that In practically every coun-
5ty where work was conducted in 1918,
the winners that year took either first
or second prize this year. This is ex-
cellent testimony OF the practical
knowledge of corn growing that the
club boys obtain in one seasons work.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1s.-Mayor
John P. Mitchell, GothaM's youthful
chief executive, is one Of the best fox
.trotters in the dance zone the dis
trict between the Circle and Twenty
Third street.
His Honor attended a ball at the
Waldorf the other night and showed
that he could not only fox-trot but
could sone step, tango and make.
He never fails TO attend a function
where dancing is INDUCED in and the
experts say that he and Mrs. Mitchell
are better by far than some of the
recognized professionals.
The mayors dancing abilities do
not denote any lack of dignity. The
day after he took office a chance ac-
quaintance got in to see him and
tried to wax jocular over civic affairs
in general and the may crafty job in
particular He left the Office Inn

Last winter the banking and
currency commitfeen Of the sen
ate and house % Representatives
each appointed a subcommittee
10 prepare legislation on agri-
cultural land mortgage credit.
The two subcommittee worked
Jointly. and the product OF their
labors was bill introduced last
May In the ser ate and in the
house which provides for the In
corporation OF local cooperative
agricultural loan associations un-
Ger federal charter throughout the
united States Zach OF these pro-
posed associations would make
long time LOANS TO its members

all its capital had been loaned.
II would sell mortgages to
one OF IL land banks which would
be established. each to cover a
territory app roximately co-exten-
slNe with one OF he IL federal re-
serve districts.
Government aid TO agricultural
loans has Teen given by almost
every couut try in the civilized
world except our own. In this
country rIral credit legislation
mas been advocated by all poli'i-
car partbes. and the desirability
OF making better provision for the
hnancial needs OF the farmer il
generally conceded. To meet the
situaueIn adequately II is neces-
sary ~ provide two distinct forms
OF ere dit-lOng term credit based
on no ortgages. for the acquisition
or u ornament improvement OF the
lanf. and short term, or personal
credit. to finance the operation OF
inc farm. Each OF these classea
OF credit presents a distinct prob
lsm. and all students OF the ques-
uon are agreed that the two kinds
bi credit should be handled by two
uisunct classes OF institutions.
50 Tar as short term personal
credit is concerned, there Ia no
doubt but that. when the federal
reserve act gets into full opera
ton IL will afford some relief TO
the situation. There is some diff
terence OF opinion as TO whether
further legislation is needed. but
II Will apparently be found neces-
sary. after longer experience with
the present law. TO supplement
It's provisions in order 10 satisfy
the needs OF agriculture.
In the meantime. serious efforts
are being made to solve the agrf-
cultural land mortgage problem.
Today this country has no sys-
TEN or long term rtgages. very
lew agricultural mortgages are be
ing made for a period longer than
hve years. The agricultural land
mortgage problem involves some
thing more than a mere attempt
TO reduce the rate OF interest
charged to the farmer. Il means
the establishment OF a system
which will make land credit more
easily available for terms OF from
I'VE TO IS years. and permit the
repayment OF loans on the amorti-
zation plan.
