USE OF GOLD FUND
WITHOUT INTEREST
sECRET TARY MADOO's PLAN
Big Sum to be Loaned on Cotton al
6 Per Cent-Plan Devised For
Relief of Situation Caused
BY Allies Action.

Washington, D. c., August 3d.
Treasury officials tonight made pub
lie an announcement by Secretary
McAdoo that, in view of the action
of the allies in putting cotton on the
contraband list, he would if 1t became
necessary, deposit $3O.OO0,OOO or more
in gold in the Federal reserve banks
at Atlanta, Dallas and Richmond for
the purpose of enabling the reserve
banks to rediscount loans on cotton
secured by warehouse receipts made
by national banks belonging to the
federal reserve system.
The gold would be deposited tenn
porarily. at least. without interest
charges. 1t was explained that if it.
appeared that the object could be ac-
complished with greater efficiency
thereby, the deposits would be made
directly with national banks agree
ing to lend the money on cotton at a
rate not to exceed per cent.
Secretary McAdoo authorized the
announcement from the summer home
at North Haven, Me. 1t came at the
close of day of speculation in Off
cial circles as to the nature of steps
which the entente powers have indi-
Gated they will take, to uphold the
cotton market in the face of their
contraband order.
"In the exercise of the discretion
given to him by law" read the treas
ury statement, Secretary McAdoo
said that the government will for the
time being charge no interest on
these deposits in fedreal reserve
banks; that such action is justified
by the unusual situation respecting
cotton caused by the European war;
that he considers it his duty to use
every available means in his power
to help the cotton producer of the
south in the circumstances; that it is
a matter of economic Importance to
the entire nation that those who
have produced the cotton crop shall
have fair opportunity to dispose of
1t gradually and in an orderly man.
ner so they may not be forced,
through inability to market their cot
ton gradually. to sell 1t at sacrifice
prices.
1.-THE secretary said that one of his
chief objects was to create basis for
such enlarged credit in the south that
the banks will have ample resources
to extend to producers such accom-
modations that they will be able to
carry cotton in warehouses for a
reasonable length of time until it can.
be marketed advantageously. In Or
der to accomplish this. he said that
the national and state banks which
are members of the federal reserve
system should make loans on ware
house receipts for insured cotton at
low rates of interest; that the banks
can well afford to carry cotton for
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1915-08-26

producers at six per cent, especially
IL they are able to rediscount cotton
paper at the federal reserve banks
at a much lower rate than six per
cent; that the credit resources of the
banks of the country are greater
than ever before in our history and
that there is no reason why the
banks should not, in cooperation
with the merchants of the south,
help the cotton producers with loans
at low rates in the present peculiar
situation.
"The federal reserve board, the sec
retary said, had a right to determine
the rate of interest which the feder-
al reserve banks can charge member
banks on notes or loans secured by
insured warehouse cotton and redis-
counted with federal reserve banks.
He has been unable to consult his
colleagues of the federal reserve
board on account of his absence from
Washington, but feels confident of
their cooperation in every reasona-
BILE way.
"Mr. McAdoo said, however, that
should it appear that the object in
view could be accomplished with
greater efficiency to the cotton pro-
ducers, the merchants and the banks
of the south by depositing govern
ment funds in the national banks di-
rect instead of in the federal reserve
banks, he would take that course and
make deposits in such national banks
as would give him the assurance that
the money so deposited or the credit
based thereon would be loaned on
cotton insured or warehoused and at
a rate of interest not to exceed six
per cent.
"The secretary declared be believ-
ed that there was no occasion for
alarm about the future of cotton and
that if the bankers and merchants
would cooperate with each other
and with the cotton producers of the
south in spirit of patriotism and
mutual regard for each others well
fare the situation would be handled
with happy results to all concerned.
He expressed the earnest hope that
this would be done"

A meeting was held IN LOreau-
Vile, La on Sunday, Feb 18th,
in the interest of Agriculture
there were some three hundred III
including the ladies.
Mr.. John Wallet called the NEE
ing to order and explained that
the object was to make the Lo-
reauvllle High School an Agrlcul
tural School, after which, he intro
duced as the first speaker, Prof.
P. l.. Gu,lbeaux, of Baton Rouge,
La, State Inspector of Agrlcul-
tural School work. Prof. Gull
beaux in his address explained
the value and necessity of having
an agricultural school in every
community and parish and told at
some length how the enterPrisiDg
people of Loreauville should pro
coed in order to procure the
school. During the course of his
talk he stated that out of forty
four Agricultural Schools in the
State, North Louisiana had thirty.
two. That the state wished to es
tablish some twenty three more
of these schools, in the southern
part of the state, and Loreauvllle
had been put on the list as a loca
ton as one of these schools prOvid
ed, the people would donate the
necessary twenty three acres for
it's establishment. The state
would give and maintain the az
ricaltural department and provide
the teacher that the children
could be taught farming along
scientific lines Which insures to
the community in which these
children live, successful farmers.
The next speaker introduced,
was Mr. e } Oarstens who spoke
on the necessity of Rotation.
He handled his subject in a
splendid manner and told what he
had accomplished on one acre OF
land and impressed upon his lis
teners, that what he had been able
to do, others could do also.
Mr.. Wallet next introduced the
Hon. Edwin Broussard whose
talk was on Investigation that II
was an absolute necessity IN order
to be successful farmer
That, to depend on the one croT
system meant, that the farme
would never have the bank &C
count that he ought.
His advice was, raise cotton
sugar cane, rice.
Successful farming means Re
