FARMERS NOT JOINTLY LIABLE
New Federal Farm Loan System
Avoids Several and Joint
Liability

II should be distinctly under
stood by the farmer who takes ad-
vantage of the new federal farm loan
system, that his liability Hereunder
is strictly limited. He does not in
cur any joint or several liability.
The best authority on this subject,
President Herbert Myrick Of Orange
Judd Company, says in Southern
Farming Of Atlanta:
For each 500 you wish to bor-
row thru the new system, Brother
Farmer, you invest $500 in the
shares OF your own local co-opera-
tive farm mortgage society. II is
what the new law calls national
farm loan association Only you and
other farmers who borrow through
il are members OF il, or can vote in
il. No member may have more than
20 votes, so il is cooperative.
should your national farm loan
association fail or suffer any loss,
the most you could be called upon
TO pay would be another $500 on
each share.
your farm itself is liable only for
the amount of the mortgage there
on. Neither you personally nor your
land is bound up by any Joint and
several obligation.

In the present epidemic OF infantile

Curiously enough. the disease. like
most others OF the brain and spinal

themselves, but OF the blood vessels
supplying them. So that what really

HOW TO BORROW
From the New Federal Farm Loan
system

The period OF discussion is closed,
so far as the federal farm loan act
is concerned. Now that il is about
To become a law by President Will
sons signature, the time is here to
make the best possible use Of ii. As
Orange Judd Southern Farming truly
says:
The new system must be an ev-
olution. II needs the sympathetic
cooperation Of farm borrowers, in
vestors in farm loan bonds, bankers
and brokers. and the press. II Is
based upon sound principles.
Farmers should be quick TO organ
ize TO make the most and best use OF
the new federal farm loan system.
What they have 10 do is simple,
practical, businesslike-easy enough
when you know how.
Indeed, by the blank forms fur
nished free on request by that Allan
Ia periodical. it is easy for people
everywhere TO express their views
as TO the states they want in their
federal land bank district and the
city therein which should be the
location Of the federal land bank.
Farmers who wish 10 borrow
money under the new federal system
may we'll copy or cut out the follow
ing form, add TO IL their signatures
and full postofflce address, and state
the amount Of money they want TO
borrow on first farm mortgage. Then
mail the signed document 10 the ad-
dress stated, and the matter will be
placed before the federal farm
loan board as soon as appointed.
How to Start Il
We, the undersigned, wish 10
avail ourselves Of the opportunities
offered us by the federal farm loan
act. We join in asking Orange Judd
Southern Farming OF Atlanta, Ga,
TO assist us (free) 10 form a natioAal
farm loan association with strictly
limited liability, as soon as the new
system gets into operation.

readjustment is Of great value to the
whole community. for such action In
time becomes corrective of the changed
condition from which It sprang. Let
US assume. for instance. that there Is
a community engaged largely In live
stock production aud that through some
cause feed prices advance to such a
point that there is more money In sell
ing the raw product than in feeding.
Under such conditions a large number
Of farseeing farmers viii quickly cur

feed prices and to increase the price

SWEET CLOVER

qualities which other legumes do
not In content Of feeding nutri-
ments, both in the green state and as
hay. il may be considered the equal
of alfalfa. Objection is frequently
voiced against IL by those who have
not had experience, and IL Is con-
demned by them with the charge
that cows will not eat IL. There is
no logical basis for this charge be-
cause experience proves that all
live stock will eat sweet clover in
both the green state and in the hay,
with much avidity, after they have
acquired a taste for il. II is true
that il has a bitter taste due to the
cumarin which il contains, and
animals that are we'll fed refuse to
eat il at first.
Instead Of this characteristic
being all together objectionable, 1t
has been found to be a point in
favor of sweet clover when used for
grazing purposes. IL has been
learned that cattle are much less
liable 10 bloat on sweet clover than
on any other form of legume. In
fact. so few have been the cases OF
bloat that have occurred from pas
turing this legume that there are
many who claim that the cumarin
eliminates all danger from this
source. The few exceptions to this
rule denote, however, that some
care should be taken in pasturing
valuable cattle on sweet clover
when il is wet and the cattle &C
customed TO it, because bloat caused
by it is within the range Of posi-
bility.
II is true that cattle must acquire
an appetite for sweet clover. This,
however. is not sufficient cause for
condemning it for food stuff, for
the same charge may be made
against many other feeds. The
steer brought from the range re-
fuses to eat corn when it is first
placed before him, and very often
a week or ten days is required to
teach him that corn is palatable and
useful. This is no reason for claim
ing that corn is not valuable feed
for range cattle, but il is quite as
reasonable as the claim that sweet
clover is not useful for feeding cows.
In the spring sweet clover comes
on and grows vigorously before any
other crop. II is ready for grazing
so early that animals hungry for
fresh green food may be turned on
il before any other fresh succulence
is available. When this is done,
most cows will learn to eat 1t at
once and increase in flow accord
ingly. After cows Craze a few days
upon il, one will note that major
ity of them prefer it TO any other
grass.
Sweet clover is especially VAL
liable for grazing purposes in
the hot, dry spells Of summer.
Being drought resistant in charac-
ter, the sweet clover grows lux
uriantly, even when severe droughts
appear and when all other pastures
are dry and worthless, the sweet
clover provides an abundance OF
food, if it has been properly cared
for earlier in the season.
In conclusion it may be said that
the chief value of sweet clover is
that il adapts itself readily to many
soils that refuse to grow any other
legumes, and. by growing it there,
the soil undergOes the most excel
lent preparation that can be pro-
vided for making il suitable to grow
other legumes later.
