FARMERS INTEREsTEp
IN COMING Of THE
FEDERAL LOAN BOARD

Washington, October 16.-A
hearing OF great Importance to
the farmers and farm organiza-
ton of Georgia will be held at
Macon on October 81 by the Fed
eral 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 ru-
raj credits law, known as the Fed
eral Farm Loan act. The session
will be held in the federal build
ing at Macon.
The members Of the Federal
Farm Loan board who will CON
duct this hearing are William G..
McAdoo, secretary OF the treas
ury George w. Norris, farm loan
commissioner; Herbert Quick,
Captain w. S. A. Smith, and
Charles Z. Lobdell.
The board has issued an invita-
ton to all farmers and farm or
CARNATIONS 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 locat-
ing of one of the twelve federal
land banks.
Farmers will be asked to give
information regarding the pre-
vailing rates of interest on first
mortgage loans; the difficulty OF
getting extensions; the rate OF
commissions charged; the devel-
opment of farms as affected by
credit; farm tenantry as affected
by the ability of tenants to Dor
row; and any other fact that will
give the board an understanding
of the farm needs of the state.
The new Federal Farm Loan
act provides a way for the farmer
or prospective farmer to borrow
money on longtime mortgages at
actual cost. The government
provides the machinery for as
sembling 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 improve
ments. The loans will be made
at a low rate of interest not yet
determined, but it will be less
than 6 per cent. Provision is
made for the borrower to pay eff
the debt, interest and principal,
through periods or from five to
forty years, at his own option.
The legislation is expected to
prove a great boon to those sec
tons of the country where farm
development have been retarded
because of high interest rates,
and it is predicted that it will
tend to make agricultural pros
perity permanent and uniform,
stabilized and equalize interest
rates, and greatly improve the
condition of the farmer.
The nationwide interest in the
provisions of the bill is indicated
by the fact that more than 1OO,-
600 inquiries have come to the
treasury department for informa-
ton about it. Secretary McAdoo
predicts that the banks will be es-
tablished and ready to make loans
early in 1917.

 From the testimony of the claimant it is found that she married Peter Plante in Taftville, ten years ago last September but that they had been living apart for the last five and a half years and that at the time Of the separation an agreement had been en- tered into whereby the decedent had promised to pay B weekly for the support of his son. Asa, until he be came of age, and that he should also pay for his clothing and any medical of the boys illness.

Float Eaten by Worms

The float which has performed use full service for the swimmers at Ocean beach, for SO many, many years, will soon be no more. It broke adrift from it's moorings recently and foated ashore on the beach. Then it was discovered that the logs of which 1t is mainly composed are almost com- salt water worms and the wonder is that the float has held together so long. It has been doing duty now about 20 years. The boards covering the surface will be removed and the balance disposed of as frewood. Next year the park commissioners will have to provide a new float.
