THE FARM LOAN BOARD

President Wilson's selections for
the Federal Farm Loan Board, pro-
vided for by the rural credits act,
suggest purpose to widen the juris-
diction and extend the functions of
the board as fast as possible. The
belief is that Mr.. Herbert Quick will
be executive head of the body, as
Farm Loan Commissioner. If so, he
will bring to that position an earnest
desire to expand the scope of the act
into the wider field of individual
rural credits, which are not provided
for in the act as it now stands. In
such efforts he will undoubtedly
have the support Of other members
of the board; certainly of Captain
Smith and Jgixe Lobdell, who are,
like Mr.. Quick, authorities on the
general subject of rural finances.
Mr.. Quick is a mid-Western farm
product, student of rural problems,
and one of the country's most widely
known writer's on agricultural topics.
He was for long time editor of
Farm and Fireside, and his writings
on rural credits commanded the at
tention to him that brought about
his selection for this board. Captain
Smith is widely known as a thor
oughly practical farmer; one of the
country's acknowledged authorities
on the business problems of country
life; a man who in his own expert
ence has made a great business sue
cess of farming; specialist in get
ting more profits out Of the acre of
land than other people can get, and
in showing other people how to do
the same thing. He is one of the
men who have contributed most, by
both precept and example, to max
ing the new and better agriculture
possible, and to the betterment of
country life; and he understands, as
few men do, the larger problem of
rural credits, in its relations to pro-
viding capital for the landless man
as we'll as for the one who, by reason
Of owning land, is able to secure
credit in virtue of his landed hold
ings.
There are great opportunities for
advantage to the American farming
community through a proper devel-
opment of the rural credits program,
toward which the present legislation
is only a beginning. 1t is of the
utmost Importance that this larger
view of possibilities be understood
by the men responsible for the
inauguration of the loaning system
under the present act. The per-
sonnel of the board as appointed
justifies strong confidence that this
anticipation will be realized.

THE DEFENSE BUDGET

The appropriations for national
defense are now calculated at total
Of 1886, 100000. The measures are
not all law; but 1t is reasonably GER
tain that there will not be much
pruning in conference. The country
has not been shocked at the wicked
extravaganza" Of the thing. Rather
it has been gratified at SO much evil
dence that a Congress and an Ad-
ministration that too long refused to
recognize facts have risen to q
realization Of what they face.
The conferences might have
trimmed a hundred million or more
of the preparedness bills, if there
had been testimony from the country
that the country would like such
action. There has been no such tes-
timony. The country wants the pre-
paredness program to go through,
and that Is the chief reason why it
will 60 through.
