PEANUT HONORED
BY RESERVE BANK
LOANS PERMITTED ON PRODUCT
WILL ENCOURAGE FARMERS.
GRAIN ALSO FOSTERED.

The development in the South of
peanut and grain raising, especially
in the trail of the boil weevil, is one
of the steps being taken by the Fed
eral Reserve Bank at Atlanta it is
shown in a discussion of the institu-
tons work, occasioned by the visit
of Chairman W. P. G. Harding. The
reserve bank not only is lending mon
ey on cotton, but on peanuts and
peanut hay stored in authorized
warehouses and on grain in elevators.
The oil makes an excellent substi-
tute for olive oil and similar prod
ucts. The residue, mixed with mo-
lasses to form a properly balanced
ration, makes a fine stock food.
Member banks of this federal re-
serve district" said J. A. McCord,
governor of the Atlanta bank, "are
permitted to make loans on peanuts
stored where negotiable receipts can
be provided.
"The bank is encouraging grain
growing in Georgia and Florida and
elsewhere in the district by urging
owners of cotton warehouses to build
small grain elevators near by and I'M
der the same management. This pro-
vides work for the cotton warehouse
force when the cotton season is over.
Farmers are more likely to plant corn
when a proper place for storage and
protection is offered and where they
can raise funds on it through their
home banks. These banks, in turn,
obtain funds from the Federal Re
serve Bank. In Florida, where the
weevil has been a great foe of corn
stored in cribs, the elevator manage
ment is treating it by process that
destroys the weevil and brings the
corn up to export qualifications"
The new "trade acceptances" now
used by the member banks of the
federal reserve district enable these
banks to lend more money to one IN
dividual or firm than under the or
binary system. They have been IN.
dorsed by the National Association OF
Credit Men and are now being widely
used.

lowing men who formerly represented
this state in the United States SEN
ate: James Gum, Josiah Tattnall,
VIM. B. Bulloch, Thos. w. Cobb, and
Alfred Cuthbert?
Have all these distinguished Geor-

photograph, tin-type or other coun-
terfeit presentment of themselves? A
citizen of Washington who is making
a collection of photographs of the
1,057 men who have represented their
states in the senate has been unable
to obtain portraits of the above nam
ed Georgians. Requests of historical
societies and libraries in the state,
with an offer to pay from $40 to SIS
apiece for the pictures, have failed
to produce them.
1t is said there are no portraits of
Gum, Tattnall and Cuthbert extant,
nor has he been able to obtain any of
Bulloch and Cobb.
The collection for which these por-
traits is desired will combine under
one cover pictures of all the men who
have served in the United States sem
ate, the vice presidents and presidents
pro tempore of the senate.

Ell PASO, Texas.-Snow, with a
mixture of rain and hail, fell thick
and heavy over three Georgia troop
camps here today.

Members of both artillery and cav
airy branches ran their double-blan-
keted horses around in circles to pre-
vent the dumb beasts from freezing
while tied to the picket lines.

Washington.-Arm ordnance ex-
perts are at work on designs for huge
field howitzers as large or larger than
the German 42-centimeter guns which
wrecked Belgian and French forts
early in the war. They will be at
least 16-inch caliber, with a range
of IL to Is miles, hurting a projectile
weighing more than a ton and carry
ing a huge amount of high explo-
sive.
In addition to placing several of
these mammoth weapons along the
coast line for mobile defense against
naval attacks, army officials now are
considering the creation of a special
regiment, equipped with six of the
howitzers, to work as a unit of the
mobile army. The problem confront
ing the designers in that regard is to
distribute the enormous weight of the
gun and carriage in such a way that
it can be moved over and good road.
