Sea serpents are scarce off the Georgia
coast, and that blessed Commonwealth is
short on summer attractions wherewith to
lure the tourist. Hence the story from
Macon that citizen found an old live hen
at the bottom Of a we'll, where she had been
for nine months, and that twenty-scven eggs
were in the nest. The clucker had thrived
on worms and bugs all the while Of her in
cumbency. Twenty-seven eggs in nine
months-ahout 270 days--is nothing to brag
OF as an attraction. All things considered
which includes the hen, the discovery is a
warning TO travellers to order their meals in
some other town than Macon.

There is truth in this, although the objec-
tons made may not be final. In the mean
time, Massachusetts, has authorized by special
statute the organization Of land banks" and
the first of these banks is now being formed
In essentials, they plan TO help the farmer to
help himself.
The real remedy for the present situation
lies in actual cooperation of the farmers, one
with another. By combining even slender
individual resources, when the number of in
divduals is large, adequate funds may be
obtained to furnish the sort and amount of
credit the farmer desires terms adapted
to his economic status.
Such cooperative land banks would pos
sess the cooperative ideal which is service
rather than profit. Long-term loans on
farm property usually are unattractive to
city banks save on conditions the farmer
finds exceedingly onerous. He obtains CAPT.
tai for needed improvements and extensions
in his business only at q cost that is nearly
prohibitive. The city bank, which can lend
most Of its funds for short periods or on call
with readily convertible security. sees no rea-
son why II should make loans on farm prop
erty for three or five years. The co-opera-
tive association, on the other hand, does not
seek large profits, and is content with security
which is ample, even if not particularly fluid
We see no reason to fear that the farmers
of Virginia, as Of the rest Of the country will
not como ultimately to provide themselves
with this enormous business asset. They
should have, of course, such legislative and
administrative aid as the States can supply
Land banks thus organized and adapted in
each case to the community's special needs
hold out far more promise Of success than a
countrywide system, applying rigdly every
where and under all conditions.

Farmers and Rural Credits

were pointed out on Wednesday by Myron T
Herrick. former ambassador to France, ant
a banker and business man of distinction ant
clear vision Mr.. Herrck spoke at Ho
Springs to the convention of the Nationa
Fertilizer Association. He said:
Government aid is tho rock against
which the rural-credts movement has
been dashed. Particularly is this the
case with land credits. The bills which
have received the most attention in
Congress provide for State aid, tax ex-
empttons and special privilege to such
pronounced degree that IL any of them
become law it would set farmers
apart rs a class by themselves to be
pampcrcd and spoon-fcd at public eX-
pense, and as consequence 1t would
bring down upon them the enmity OF all
other classes.
