FARMERS ARE INVITED
TO LOAN BOARD MEETING
Hearing to Be Held in Federal
Building at Macon on
October 81
Especial Dispatch to The Journal.)

WASHINGTON. d. c., Oct ia
hearing of great Importance to the far
mers and farm organizations of Georgia
will be held at Macon on. October q
by the federal farm loan board.
This hearing is for the purpose of
getting information to guide the board
in determining the boundaries of the
twelve federal land bank districts into
which the country is to be divided for
the administration of the new rural
credits law, known as the federal farm
loan act. The session will be held in
the federal building at Macon.
The members of the federal farm loan
board who will conduct this hearing
are William G. McAdoo, secretary of the
treasury; George w. Norris, farm loan
commissioner, Herbert Quick, Captain
w. s. A. Smith and Charles E. Lob
dell.
The board has issued an invitation 20
all farmers and farm organizations of
Georgia to attend this hearing to get
information about the operation Of the
farm loan act, and to furnish the board
with information about the farm loan
needs of the state. 1t has also asked
interested cities to present their claims
for the location of one of the twelve
federal land banks.
Farmers will be asked to give infor-
nation regarding the prevailing rates OF
interest on first mortgage loans; the diff
ficulty of getting extensions, the rate OF
commissions charges, the development
of farms as affected by credit, farm
tenantry as affected by the ability of
tenants to borrow, and any other fact
that will give the board an understand
ing of the farm needs of the state.
The new federal farm loan act pro-
TVa he "a nT
tive farmer to borrow money on long
stime mortgages at actual cost. The
government provides the machinery Or
assembling capital to be loaned to farm
owners or prospective farm owners. The
loans may run up to SO per cent of
the value of the land used as security
and 20 per cent of the value of the i'm
provements. The loans will be made at
a low rate Of interest not yet deter
mined, but it will be less than per
cent. Provision is made for the bor-
rover to pay off the debt, interest, and
principal through periods of from five
to forty years, at his own option.
The legislation is expected to prove
a great boon to those sections Of the
country where farm development has
been retarded because of high interest
rates, and it is predicted that it will
tend to make agricultural prosperity
permanent and uniform, stabilize and
equalize interest rates, and greatly i'm
prove the condition of the farmer.
The nationwide interest in the pro-
visions of the bill is indicated by the
fact that more than 100000 inquiries
have come to the treasury department
for information about it. Secretary
McAdoo predicts that the banks will be
established and ready to make loans
early in 1917.

BRITISH CAPTURE
TEUTON FOR EACH
YARD OF FRONT
Frederick Palmer Describes
Attack in Which British
Completed Capture of
SChWarben eRdodbt
BY FREDERICK PALMER.
Correspondents of the Associated Press
With the British Army in France.)
(COnUripbt 1915 nv he


BRITISH FRONT IN FRANCE, Sun
day, Oct. 15.-(Via London, Oct. 49,
In completing the capture of Schwaben
redoubt on the ridge about Thiepval,
the British took a prisoner for every
yard of front. or ESQ for a front of less
than 500 yards; not to mention the num-
Der killed by the artillery preparation
and in hand-to-hand fighting before the
survivors surrendered.
The Germans manning the trench and
those in reserve dugouts could hardly
have been crowded into one line back of
the parapet. This gives an idea of the
Importance the Germanssattached to that
last bit of high ground along their old
trench line south of the Ancre on the
Thiepval ridge, which their desperate
resistance characterized as the most
precious two-acre plot in all France.
After the British got the first half of
the redoubt the Germans made repeated
counter attacks to recover possession of
it and for the last week there had been
no cessation of the fighting. Now the
British look down all along the valley to
Grande Court and IT is impossible, APP
parently, for the Germans to maintain
batteries in that area.
STICK TO THEIR TRENCHES.
Between the new British positions and
the river along the old front line forti-
fications German infantry, commanded
by British guns from two sides, still stick
to their maze of trenches, going and
coming like woodchucks through their
underground galleries A German pris-
oner reports that in this neighborhood
there is a record size dugout capable of
holding $500 men.
"They do hate to leave their happy
homes, which they have been two years
building" said a British soldier.
The big garrisons which the Germans
maintain for the most part keep to their
dugouts, rushing out when there is any
recess in the shell fire to try to repair
the damage done. When they are OBJ
served the British guns let loose on
them Finally, when nothing but wreck
age of trenches remains and only the
dugouts are intact British infantry
charges to gain another section of
ground.
In taking the remaining uncaptured
portion of stuff redoubt, in the same re-
gion the British took 100 prisoners
with a loss of thirty-flve men.
Along the center of the battle line
the British have made some attacks in
the last week, though not in great
strength. They succeeded in some places
and failed in others against the heavy
German resistance. on the whole, IT
was the quietest week since the begin
ming of the grand offensive.

GOVERNORS sTAFFs NOT
ARMY MEMBERS, IS RULING
Colonies and Aides on Personal
Stats Cannot Wear u, S,
Uniforms

Colonies and aides-de-camp on the
personal stats Of the several governors
Of the United States are not a part Of
the state national guard organizations
and are barred from wearing the uni
forms or any part of the uniforms IF
the United States army, navy or ma
rine corps, according to dispatches re-
ceived in Atlanta today from Washing
ton, telling of a recent ruling of the
war department.
This ruling. it is stated, comes as the
result of inquiries from certain states
asking the status of the members Of
the governors staff regarding it's rela-
ton to the national guard.
The ruling states specifically, the
Washington dispatch says, that no
member of the governors staff shall
wear any part of the uniform of the
United States army. the United States
navy or the United States marine corps,
which means that the handsome braided
full dress uniforms owned now by mem
bers of the governors staff in Georgia,
and once worn by them, can not be used
now for wear on any occasion.
In the office of Adjutant General J..
Van Holt Nash, it was tated that the
communication from. Washington was
in the hands of Governor Harris and
that any information concerning the
ruling would have to come from the ex-
ecutiva Offices
Newspaper men, however, were de-
MED an audience by the governor. who
sent word to them through mis- private
secretary. +. r. Jones, that he would no
longer receive representatives OF the
press in their official capacity. The de-
cision, Mr.. Jones said, was general.
1t is possible that the governor, at a
later date, may comment on the matter
through Mr.. Jones.

submission was ordered by a vote of 145,130 to Al, Al. However, the Thirty-first legislature, in 1909, re- fused to submit the amendment. In 1910 submission was again placed oh the primary ballot and again was ordered, this time by a vote of 159, ,406 to 131 ,324 The Thirty second legislature, in 1911, submitted the amendment, and on July p, 1911, the amendment was defeated by vote of 231 ,O96 to 237,393.
 In 1914 the question of submission was placed on the primary ballot once more, but the voters refused to order the legislature to submit the amend ment by vote of 179,217 to 156,534.
 It has been proved in the past that some members of the legislature do not consider primary instructions as binding upon them, particularly if they happen to represent districts that cast a majority of votes against the uSIIiduu. IL lS lllticlOIc Dy no means certain that even should the statewide submission proposition be carried in the primary next Saturday it will have smooth sailing in the leg islature.
 The Anti-Saloon league, which IS directing the "dry" campaign, fully recognizes the importance of electing a majority of the members of the state senate and house, who are pladged to support the proposed statewide pro- hibition amendment to the constitu- tion. To this end they have placed an avowed "dry" candidate in the field in nearly every state senatorial and rep resentative district.
 The Anti-Saloon league is making extensive campaign use of the: evi dence that was obtained by Attorney General Looney in the prosecution of the cases against the Texas breweries.

LESS WHEAT, MORE CORN.

Authentic figures issued by Wash ington indicate that the wheat crop -tlis year will be less than last year. The total crop is to be in the neigh borhood of 76O,OOO,OOO bushels, which is 251 ,00o,000 bushels less than 1915. The winter wheat crop is to be 4S9,- O00,O0O bushels, compared with 655,- OO0,OOO bushels last year. Spring wheat this year is 27O,OOO,OOO bushels, compared with 356, ,OOO, ,OO0 last year.
 The corn crop this year is to be g. S66,0O0,8 bushels, compared with g. S14,OO0,0O0 last year.
 Wheat production in Kansas, Ne braska, the Dakotas and the southwest has increased, but is less elsewhere.
 The probabilities are that the price of wheat will continue high.

A LESSON FROM TOBACCO.

A few years ago tobacco producers were completely at the mercy of the American and Imperial tobacco com panies. This combination of buyers and manufacturers set the price of to- bacco and didn't care cent whether or not it was reasonable.
 Frequently the price set was below the cost of production on the planta- tions, and after a few seasons of this, the growers organized.
 Conditions were placed on living basis very quickly, as the tobacco trust was unable to get tobacco without paying the living price fixed by the organization, which virtually was na- tion-wide. And the consumers of to- bacco didn't pay cent more for It. either, it merely being case of the tobacco trust making less profit
 Dissention, however, has greatly weakened the power of the planters organization. It will give the trust a new opening unless checked.
 Planters and farmers organizations still have this to learn-that in order to get permanent results in better marketing and reasonable prices, it Is necessary to elect or appoint compe- tent officials to run" the organiza- tions and stick by their decisions. Any thing else leads to loss and discourage ment.
