CITIES SELECTED FOR
 FARM LOAN BANKS.
Springfield Has Been Chosen for Dis trict No. 1, Comprising New Eng land, New York and New Jersey.


 Washington, Dec. 27.-Twelve cities in which are to be located the federal farm loan banks were announced to- day by the farm loan board and it is expected that within sixty days the new system will be in operation, ready to make the loans for which applica- tions already are pouring in from ev- cry section of the country. The cities where the banks will be set up are:

 To Open Subscription Books.
 Stock subscription books of the banks will be opened within the next ten days, probably about Jan. 9 to remain open for thirty days. It is ex- pected, however, that the government will have to supply most of the S9,000,- 900 capital under that section of the law which empowers the secretary of the treasury to make up the unsub- scribed stock. Temporary Directors to Be Named. Temporary directors, five to each bank will be named, probably within the next three weeks, by the board As soon as the banks have been or ganized and borrowers have subscribed to $200,O00 of the stock of each bank, the temporary directors will surrender their authority to boards of nine di- rectors each, six of whom will be named by the farmer borrowers and three by the farm loan board. The permanent directors will serve three years and receive per diem compen- sation, as in the case of federal re- serve bank directors. Borrower Must Subscribe to Stock Each borrower must subscribe to stock in the bank from which he bor- rcws to the extent of 5 per cent of his loan and the original subscribers to the capital stock are required to sur render their holdings as they may be needed to meet this situation. In designating locations for the banks, the board was guided chiefly by the needs of rural sections. This has resulted in placing only two of the twelve banks in New England and middle Atlantic states. the chief cen ters of population. Three go to the south, five to the farming states of the middle west and west, and two to the Pacific coast.

Halls Catarrh Cure is taken intarnally and acts through the blood. Halls Catarrh Cure was prescribed by one of the best physicians i'll this coun 7 try for years. It is composed of soma of the best tonics known, combined with some of the best blood purifiers.

THE FERTILIZER SITUATION.
Unusually Complex This Year and Orders Should Be Placed Early.

A very unsettled condition prevails
 in the wholesale market on "chemi-
 cals." Manufacturers are buying on-
 ly for their immediate needs In
 small lots, such materials as nitrate
 of soda, sulphate of ammonia, tank
 age blood, cyanamid, cottonseed meal
 acid phosphate and bone are all high
 Acid phosphate seems to be slightly
 lower than last year but cottonseed is
 30 per cent. higher. Nitrogen in nj
 trate of soda and sulphate of ammon-
 ia is about 23 cents per pound and 22
 cents in S-9 tankage. In mixed goods
 nitrogen is about 23 cents. These values are based on cash quotations, carload lots. No firm will hold quota
 tions open on unmixed goods, indi-
 eating the instability of prices. Those
 in close touch with conditions seem to feel that plant food can be pur- chased cheaper in mixed goods than in unmixed. This is probably true when the cost of mixing is considered The safest procedure would be to get quotations from several sources both mixed and unmiXed goods and make the comparisons.
 If present conditions continue we
 may be able eventually to supply our needs. Several firms are offering as high as 4 per cent potash goods Some offered this goods earlier but are SOiU out now, the Ma1n6 growers having contracted for the entire sup ply.
 Our results so far on corn indicate
 that potash pays at normal prices. This, however, is on the Gloucester
 sandy 1oam on the station farm. On
 heavier soils the results might differ. We very seriously question the advis-
 ability of paying $5 g. unit for potash to be used on the common field crops. Where large aplications of potash have been made in previous years,
 as on tobacco land, it does not seem wise to use much if any potash this year

One of the funniest speeches il

is made by Rodney Martin, the rich
mans son. Rodney having been co.
creed into entering a business career
decides to launch a big advertising
campaign which is not approved by
his sire.
In an effort to convince him Rod
ney says:
"oh! You don't believe in adver-
tising. | guess you do.
What makes you go to the the
ater?
Don't tell me, I'll tell you.
TITS something you've been told

And What you've been told, the

"95 per cent of the public are
sheep and all you've got to do is TO
start them right and they'll fall over
