associations In Europe. What we
should do is to try to comprehend
the principles employed and seek to
adapt them to American ideals. Gus
toms, and governmental methods
What is wanted is some method by
which young men who wish to be-
come farmers may offer evidence OF
ability, thrift, and character There
is wanted some guarantee that the
money will be used for productive
purposes and sufficient supervision
to determine that the money will be
wisely expended.
What is needed Is some basis on
which educated Woodworking, hon
est young men between the ages Of
twenty-one and thirty may obtain a
reasonable capital with which to
make a home in the open country.
What is needed is some method Of re-
placing the opportunity which for

Act.

except for integrity. They borrow
money at three per cent and loan II
out to themselves at about four per
cent, for productive purposes only
and subject to a supervision by COM
mittee Of the association. The two
features that characterize these
credit associations are unlimited la
bility and supervision. Each member
is liable for the debts Of the associa-
ton; and a committee Of the associa-
ton determines whether the pro-
posed borrower wishes to borrow for
productive purposes, sees to it that
he purchases wisely, and that he pro-
ceeds properly with the animal or the
thing purchased with the borrowed
money. For example, If it is pro-
posed to buy COW, the committee
determines whether he needs a COW,
then sees that he makes good pur-
chase and then that he cares for the
COW properly
1t is my opinion that If we are to
inaugurate successful system of
farm credit we should try to forget

tai needed to get the best results.
Every generation is going to find 1t
more difficult to till the soil properly,
unless some workable method OF
financing the land can be found.
Shortly before his death. while tes-
tifying before a congressional COM
mittee, J. Pierpont Morgan startled
his countrymen by announcing that
he considered character to be the
chief security. He said he had
loaned as high as a million dollars
to single man on this security
alone. When the various systems OF
European cooperative banks or credit
associations are analysed they are
found to be all based upon few
common features, namely, character,
supervision, and helpfulness. Wall
lace and Wilson state it thus:
"These are found mainly among
the poorest Of the poor, in sections
where it would be hard to find an
who could be entitled to
credit at any bank. They are simply

tion. No person can teach in the
public school without teachers GER
tificate. No physician or pharmacist
may practice his profession unless he
shows certain technical knowledge.
No man can occupy the pulpit without
demonstrating his fitness.
Suppose a young man could pass
an examination in agriculture, sup
pose he could present evidence Of
practical farm experience, suppose he
had actually earned and saved
given amount Of money, suppose he
had a reputation for honesty and
good habits, why should not the State
lend him money on terms similar to
those on which the State now keeps
six million dollars on deposit In
banks, or why should not the United
States loan it's postal deposits on
terms similar to those on which it
now loans it to saving banks.
Senator Fletcher, referring to credit
associations, in Moody's Magazine
says:
This is the first advantage brought
by such associations inter-
est rates. Each year the farmer is
IeQulIeu " pay ueSlueS Tic Interest,"
a certain percentage towards reduc-
ing the principal of the loan. The
payments Of the mortgagors now are
generally the same each year. a
| larger portion of the sum going to-
| wards principal and a smaller towards
| interest as the principal is gradually
| reduceds For instance, it is figured
that farmer having loan at 4.3
per cent and paying each year 6.56
per cent would wipe out the loan in
| twenty-five years. This practice,
called amortization, is Of the greatest
value to farmers, for it makes their
! payments on principal consistent with
their income expended on agricultural
improvements So long as the farmer
meets these annual payments the
! mortgage will not be foreclosed. Also,
the interest rate can never be raised
during the life Of the loan.
Thus we see that such a system
reduces interest rates, makes the de-
| mands upon the farmer consistent
with his income, eliminates commits
sions, protects him from foreclosure
and from an advance of interest
rates. 1t changes mortgage from
a burdensome debt to an advan-
tageous form Of credit-an invest
ment"
The postal deposits are loaned to
saving banks at two per cent. The
State loans its surplus at two per
cent. Suppose a young man, having
saved one thousand dollars, could &C

PROTECTING THE TREES FROM PEAR PsYLLA
BY H. E. HODGKISS

habits of the insect showed that the
pear psylla passes the winter as an
adult or fly" and that it deposits its
eggs in the spring within a short
period after it's emergence from
alternating quarters. The psylla
was observed to winter on various
fruit trees such as apple, cherry,
plum, and peach, but, the largest
number of the ''fies" sought hiberna-
ton in the rough bark of pear trees.
During the spring, as a result of
constantly increasing temperatures
and the daily effectiveness of sun
light, a few hours of time proved
sufficient to induce great activity
among the adults. 1t was not uncom-
mon to see them fly or jump directly
after emergence from their winter
retreats.
If moderate temperatures prevailed
eggs were largely deposited within g
few days after the emergence of the
alternating adults in the spring.
Oviposition continued for several
weeks, especially If the weather was
variable, but usually most of the eggs
were deposited before the last OF
April. Some ova were laid on foliage,
but it appeared that these normally
are comparatively few in numbers
and result in little or no serious in
festation of the foliage.
The practice Of clean culture and
the removal and destruction of the
rough bark left the flies with few
opportunities Of escape from appli-
cations of contact mixtures Miscible
oils, nicotine preparations and soapy
solutions were effective sprays against
the psylla adults. Homemade OIL
emulsions were less satisfactory
which may have been owing to vary
ing percentages of oil in the mixtures,
caused by imperfectly prepared emul-
sions
