Chicks Need Sun

To remain healthy and vigorous both
fowls and chicks must be protected

deprive the stock of sunlight would

Mature birds soon degenerate away

when grown with little sunlight But
no fowl can thrive when long exposed

be shade at least I'm the heat Of the
day.
Dense and complete shade is to be
avoided. Air and sunshine in modera-
ton are important factors In the
growth and thrift Of stock.
Natural shade is desirable, and fruit
trees are particularly good. since they

Shade can be furnished artificially In

by driving three foot stakes I'm the

made of wire netting or laths covered
with hay OF straw.

more dangerous TO fowls than during
molting season
Not only must there be partial shade

II prospective borrower has no
money with which to pay for his asso-

Of that stock as part Of the loan on

Under this plan, then. every borrower
must be stakeholder In his local asso-

holder I'm an association Is liable for
the acts of that association up to twice
the amount Of his stock.
How Loans Are Obtained.
A member Of a national farm loan as
ISOLATION before obtaining a loan must
first fill out an application blank sup
piled to the loan association by the
federal farm loan board. This applica-
ton blank and other necessary papers
will then be referred to loan commit
tee OF the association. which must ap-
praise the property offered as security.
Such application as is approved by the
loan committee Is then forwarded to
the federal land bank and must be In
vestigated and reported on by a sal
aried appraiser Of the bank before the
loan is granted. This appraiser is re-
quired to investigate the solvency and
character Of the prospective borrower
as well as the value Of his land. When
a loan is granted the amount Is for
warded to the borrower through the
loan association.
The act specifically defines the pur-
poses for which loans may be obtained.
