SHEEP GROWERS SUFFER
 LOSSES FROM DOGS
North Stonington Farmers Aroused
 Over Nuisance.

Farmers in the north part of the town of StOningtOn and in the town of North StOningtOn are considerably aroused over their losses of sheep tIRst have been killed by dogs, CT, more pre- CiSely by a. dog, since it IS pretty Cer- tain that one dog has been doing most of the destruction among the sheep in the Williams district lately. It has become so serious a matte" that, unless the nuisaHAe is stopped practically every sheep in the north part Of the town will be cXterninated in a little while longer. The matter has been called to the attention of the seIeCtnen repeatedly, but they seem pOweTleSS to cope with the situation. It is not eX- aggeratiOn to state that the annual loss of sheep and poultry Wir3ed by dogs in the town of StOningtOn amounts to more than $1,OOO.
 James E. Lord has been called cut twice during the last few days to q J- praise the loss on two farms from this cause. The farm of Horace P. Miner in the TaugWank district wus visited by a dog the other night and all but one of a flock of fancy sheep, worth from $20 to $50 apiece, were killed Nr. Miner is on a, farm that he bought a while ago from Charles P. Williams, one Of the finest in the town. and the sheep were some sold to him by George w. Middleton of QuOketaug Hill. who bought them of James E. Lord, and they were splendid stock Mrs. Hattie K. Beckett, who conducts a farm in the northern part of the town, has been much interested in the raising of sheep for the last few years and has been successful in producing a fine strain. A dog the other day killed 10 out of a flock of 14 sheep, and it is only a month or so ago that Charles r. Moves lost nearly every sheep he owned from this same cause.
 It is probable that one dog has done all the damage in the three cases just cited. Different dogs kill in different ways, some by an attack at the face

President Wilson signing rural credits bill

Washington, July 21.-Here is what
a farmer who needs money can do
under the rural credits bill. which has
just been signed by President Wilson:
First, he must join what is to be
known as a National Farm Loan as
sociation, paying in So for one of it's
shares for each 800 he wishes to bor-
row. He has one vote share, but
not to exceed ten votes in all.
Next. he applies to the association
for the loan, giving his personal note
therefor, secured by a first mortgage
on his farm. If the association APP
proves the loan, it turns the note mort
gage to land bank. The land bank
sends the amount of the loan to the
association, which hands the money to
the farmer. No commission, broker
age or rake-off is charged the bor-
rover.
No single loan is to be for less than
500 or more than $4,000; nor for
less than five years or more than
forty years. The loan must not ex-
ceed 60 per cent and preferably should
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1916-07-21

not go beyond so per cent of the mar
ket value of the land covered by the
mortgage.
The borrower pays semi-annually
the interest on his note, plus an install
ment of the principal. He must not
be charged over per cent interest
Each National Farm Loan associa-
ton must have at least ten members,
and it cannot begin business with less
than $40 900 in loans applied for.
1t is illegal, under severe penalties,
for any officer, committeeman or
member to accept any commission, fee
or perquisite of any kind for granting
any loan. The only paid officer is a
secretary treasurer
Money can be borrowed by this sys-
stem in order to pay for agricultural
land, equipm ent.. fertilizers, live stock,
buildings and improvements, or to dis
charge a prior mortgage.
The land bank may charge the bor-
rover only 1 per cent more than the
rate it gets on its bonds. This margin
of one point is to cover expense and
profits.

Secretary MOhler Says.
Threshing Returns Indicate
Great Crop in State in 1916.
LOOK LIKE RECORD CORN CROP
0at Yield of 21.6 Bushels to
Acre Is Promised.
Second Alfalfa Crop Has Been
Cut and Saved.

Based on threshing returns from d
number of counties of the state. j. C.
Mohler secretary of the state board
of agriculture. today predicted that
the state yield of wheat may exceed
his June estimate of y0.000.000 bush
els. 1t is possible the yield may equal
or exceed the 1915 yield of $1,000. 900
bushels, with a far better quality of
grain.
With another big wheat yield as
sured. Kansas is now looking to a rec
ord corn crop, the Mohler report indi-
Gates. With a tremendous acreage
6. 39h, 900 acres the report shOwS-the
condition for the state indicates rs
per cent of a full yield. Conditions in
the northern counties are better than
in the southern half of the state.
The north counties are the heavy
corn growing counties of the state and
Jewell, with the greatest acreage of
the state, also checks in with the Sec
end highest showing, 8S per cent.
Record Corn Crop.
Following the promising outlook
for a record corn crop, Mohler's report
shows a condition which indicates an
oat yield of 21.6 bushels to the acre.
or a crop of 100000 bushels from
1,465,00O acres. The second alfalfa
crop is cut and Kansas has saved both
cuttings, according to the official re-
turns. The second crop yielded an
average of one and a fourth tons to
the acre from more than a million
acres grown in Kansas.
The July report does not make a
bushel estimate on wheat. 1t merely
predicts that the June estimate of
90,000,000 bushels may be exceeded.
Quality of grain this year is far bet
ter than in 1915, when the state pro-
duced $4,000, 900 bushels of wheat
The record for the state was 1S1 600 :
900 bushels in 1914.
