outline Of government Farm



The Federal farm loan act, pop
ularly called the Rural Credits
Law" was signed by President
Wilson and became a law ON July
|17.
The act provides for the erea-
ton of - federal land banks and
permits the establishment of any
number of joint-stoek land banks
for the purpose of making loans
at a reasonable rate of interest,
for long periods of time, ON farm
lands
A Federal Farm Loan Board
has complete control over these
banks.
Twelve federal land banks are
provided, one in each of II dis
tricts into which the country will
be divided. These banks are EN-
powered to lend on first mortgage
eS ON farm lands in amounts of
800 to $4,000 for approved pur-
poses. The loans are to be made
through farm loan associations
and agents. No loan may be made
for more than so per cent of the
value of the land mortgaged and
20 per cent of the value of the
permanent improvements upon it,
National farm loan associations
local organizations composed
exclusively of bOrrowers-are au-
thorized. These associations must
be stockholders in the land banks
in proportion to the amount their
members wish to borrow. Even
tually all stock in the Federal
land banks will be owned exclu-
sively by these associations
A reasonable interest rate is es-
tablished. The act prohibits the
Federal land banks from eharg-
ing more than six per cent on any
or requiring fees not
approved by the Farm Loan
Board.
The borrowers viii share in the
net profits of the bank because
they are stockholders. 1t is con-
templated that ultimately the bor-
rOwers viii be the only stOekhold-
ers.
Long-term loans are provided |
by authorizing mortgages for per-
iOds Of from 5 up to 40 years.
Small annual or semiannual

persuaded by experience that this
can be most effectively accom-
plished by giving the farmers
cheaper money with which to
make these improvements and de-
yelopments, and in order to do
this would favor the state taxi

Of interest and suggest loaning
state money to farmers and school

made required feature Of all
mortgages.
Joint-stock land banks are au-
thorized. They are corporations
for carrying on the business of
blending ON farm mortgage secur-
/ ity and issuing farm loan bonds.
They are to be under the super
vision of the Farm Loan Board,
but the government viii not in
vest i'm them. Subject to geogra-
phieal limitations and subject to
the so and 20 per cent limitations,
these banks can lend to an indi-
vidual any amount they wish, and
for any purpose. They can not
charge am interest rate exceeding
6 per cent, and such rate must not
exceed by more than l per cent
the interest they have paid ON
their last issue of bonds. Their
mortgages, however. must provide
for amortization payments. These
banks are prohibited from eharg-
ing, under any pretext, fees or
commissions other than those au-
thOrized by the act.
The act specifically defines the
purposes for which loans may be
obtained. These are:
(a) TO provide for the purchase
of land for agricultural uses.
(b) To provide for the purchase
of equipment, fertilizers, and live
stock necessary for the proper and
reasonable operation of the mort
gagged farm; the term ''equip-
ment' to be defined by the Fed
eral Farm Loan Board.
(c) To provide buildings and
for the Improvement of farm
lands; the term Improvement"
to be defined by the Federal Farm
Loan Board.
(d) To liquidate indebtedness
of the owner of the land mort
gagged, existing at the time of the
of the first national
farm loan association established |
in or for the county in which the !
land mOrtgaged is situated, or in
debtedness subsequently incurred |

ed in this section.

one per cent was paid by the APP
plieants. Clearly it is ease Of
slipping Huston $3.50 and leaving
the treasury short that amount.
And this is not all. In face of the
fact that the $3.50 was remitted
Mr.. Barker is authority for the
statement that Huston as matter
of fact put in a bin to the state
for something like $50 for exam
lining these lands and that he
persuaded him to withdraw it. "
. The Signal concludes by point
ing out Bankers ineffieiency, if
he is guilty of no greater offense,
and "in the interest of the school
children of the state and the far
mers who should get the loans in
stead of giving them to political
crooks" ne should be relegated to
private life.
The Nezperce herald. (Nezperce, Idaho) 1900-1957, 1916-08-03

There is no more fearless and
independent newspaper in the
state than the Weiser Signal,
which is republican in politics but
independent republican neverthe-
less. The signal has been uneom-
promisingly opposed to State Au-
ditor Huston and others for their
misdeeds and last week it took up
the cudgel against Secretary of
the State Barker. 1t also digs IN
to Governor Alexander, but feels
that as the governor is in the OPP
posite party it is up to that party
to deal with him. But this repub-
lican paper is not backward in
saying what it thinks about Sec
rotary Barker, and why 1t thinks
Barker is a big load for the party
to attempt to carry in the coming
election.
The Signal article is only a lit
tie more of cumulative criticism
of the republican state officials
from republican sources. The de-
sire in the republican party to do
some house cleaning on its own ae-
count is gathering force.
The Signal takes Mr.. Barker to
task as follows:
"a step in the right direction
was taken last week when the re-
publican state committee repu-
dated the acts of Fred Huston,
state auditor, but did we go as far
as we should havef Was Fred
Huston the only person guilty of
wrongdoingg The Signal thinks
not, and we believe we voice the
of thousands of voters
of the state when we publicly |
make this statement. Huston and
Peterson are retiring from public
life, and what they do or say does
not count at this time except as
cumulative evidence, but this pa
per has had their number for
long time, and the people win |
breath a sigh of relief when "dust
to dust" is spoken of their politi-
cal careers.
s'Then we have one and only
one republican state official ask
ink for reelection who has been a
of the state land board
and whose conduct in office is a
matter of particular concern, and
he is George R. Barker.
Mr.. Barker claims that he was
deceived and that Fred Huston
and George Day put it over" on
him. Is this true, and if true does
{ materially change the situationg

party almost faced humiliation

during the term of Mr. Barker and
the question for us to decide is
whether he has measured up 10
the requirements and exigeneies
of the occasion.
Miss Mccoy has made the
statement that the greatest of all
the evils OF the land department
has been the lease evil. 1t is claim
FED that very ordinary country
newspaper man has made thOus-
lands of dollars off of state land
| leases. A short time ago the agi-
tation of this subject became so
great that in order to make some
kind of showing the land board
made a ruling that "where the
lease money had not been paid
within a certain time" the leases
should be cancelled. This midi
Gated that the lease had been
made in time payments and the
parties were allowed to dispose
of them at profit (SOme say IA
bulous) before payment was made
to the state. After the time for
the cancellation OF these leases
had expired this same newspaper
man, better known as Lloyd
Adams, came to Boise and de-
manded the reinstatement of his |
leases saying that he had dispOs-
ed of them and made a couple of
thousand dollars in the deal. In
the secretary of the
state got busy and fixed matters
up so Adams could get his rake
off.
s'There is the Huston "dnm-
my" loan. Mr. Huston says he
is entirely to blame and Mr.. Bark
er says, Erred put one over on
u.s." Do the facts bear out his
contention? OF course Huston is
going out of office and he can af-
ford to assume the responsibility
Gas o. V. Allen did when he found
he must go to the penitentiary
any way), but the facts are that
a mortgage ON the Huston land
had been forclOsed and the re-
demptiOn, period about expired.
In order to save himself he decided /
the land to other parties and ten
days before the application for the
loan was filed with the land board !,
to the state of Idaho |
were filed of record in the county
where the land was located. Did /
Huston have an understanding /
that the loan would be granted?
Would you file a mortgage ten
days before you applied for a loan
if YOU did not know that you were
going to get the money!
sThis is not all. Applicants for
state loans are required to depo-
sit one per cent of the amount of
money asked for to pay the ex-
1enses of examining the land. In
.he case of the dummy" loans
his amount was not required. Did i
hey donate this amount to the
,arties they did not know, and 1
hus discriminate in favor of ]
trangersf Hardly. They say {
huston stated that he had examin-
d the land at ''his own expense"
md the state was out nothing. j
he state was out but little in ex-
mining some other lands yet the !

NOT BsET TO FERTILIzE
CORN IN THE HILL

Farmers will be tempted this spring
more than ever before to fertilize corn
in the hill because Of the high prices
of fertilizer caused by the European
war, but this practice is false econ
Omy, according to Director G. Z.
Thorne of the Ohio Experiment Sta
ton. In the May Monthly Bulletin he
explains that while a spoonful of fer
tilizer applied in the hill may give the
corn good start, spreading ferti-
hzer over all the ground will be profit
able in the long run.
Since the roots of the plant extend
Q several feet around It, the ferti-
II can be utilized better by the
pt If spread over all the feeding
spce. A spoonful put in the hill
cae used by only few roots close

paroots can no more perform their
fulfice around a single spoon of
terzer than can a swarm of bees
I'LL cir hive from one clover bios
sonven though that blossom stood
in inexhaustible fountain of nee
tar.
I, again, corn cannot use all the
plinOod, and following crops will
msk,est use of the fertilizer when

Dangers of Draft

Drafts feel best wnen we are hot
and perspiring, just then they are
most dangerous and the result is
Neuralgia, Stiff Neck, Sore Muscles
or sometimes an attack of rheuma-
tism. In such cases apply Sloan's
Liniment. It stimulates circulation
to the sore and painful part. The
blood flows freely and in a short
time the stiffness and pain leaves.
Those suffering from Neuralgia or
Neuralgia Headache will find one or
