TELLS OF FORTY

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. co. A dra-

CumbbrsomA and Costly
The Rural Creaits act is

bersome. It establishes a gov
erning body of five members
(at $4,000 each) a number of
districts and separate subgovern
ing bodies for each Gall at high
salaries; an army of counsel,
land appraisers, experts, secre-
taries, and others-tor what pur-

can prove they are immediately
going to own land can get it's
To get these s'bene-
fits" they have to turn around
and pay back five per cent Of
the money they borrow for

Bankers Still To Rule
But anyone else can buy this
stock also, and with it ptartici-
pate in the management of the
Rural Credits Banks. Thus any
banker can bay this stock and
continue to rude the destines Of
the farmers, ais bankers do now.
The difference is, that direct
dealings between farmer and
banker are superseded by a
roundabout way that will cost
q lot of more money, but bring
no atom of Improvement. The
law lets the Rural Credits HANKS
have government money at three
per cent, but the farmers can
borrow it from the Rural Credits

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Increased Demurrage Rates

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 If you can give space in your paper for the following explanation as 10 the cause of increased demurrage rate' am sure 1t will be of value to the public:
 Our home roads are finding it very dir- f;cu,t to furnish shippers in Alabama with empty equipment for loaoins ali classes of commodities, by reason or cars being held under load in many cases covering periods of several weeks.
 The car shortage existing at the pres ent time throughout the country ana which is being severely felt in the south' is caused, to a great extent, by failure of consienees to unload the cars at des- tination. also by reason of shippers at point of origin loading cars and failing to give prompt shipping instructions
 The usual conditions brought about by the war in Europe have made 1t ex- tremely difficult to procure vessels for moving export freight. For this reason, loaded cars are held at ports and at points of origin waiting for ship room in which to export.
 The situation became so acute as to cause the interstate commerce commits sion to investigate and take such steps as would hasten the loading and unload ing of cars so that distribution of empty cars could be made to waiting shippers.
 The American Railway association Representing the carriers) realizing that 1t would be necessary for shippers and consignees to provide facilities so that cars could be unloaded within reason able time, recommended an increased de- murrage rate, after conferring with the National Traffic league Representing shippers and consignees). This petition was presented to the interstate commerce commission and that body promptly au- thorized filing of demurrage tariffs. ef- fective on one days notice.

CITY BEAUTIFUL
 HINTS FOR SPRING
Garden Don'ts

Don't build up great fire in the stove or furnace if you discover that your plants have been nipped by frost, think ing to save them by ''thawing them out. D Heat at such a time is the very thing needed to complete the misfortune. Put them at once in a room where the tenn perature can be kept just little above the frost point, and shower them thor oughly with cold water. This will ex- tract the frost from them so gradually that it will be possible to save many of them unless they are badly frozen. Keep them in cool room for three or four days. It may be necessary to cut away most, or all, of the branches of some of them. Unless the degree of cold to which they were subjected was sufficient to freeze the soI in the pots. many of them will throw up new shoots from their roots after a little: therefore, don't throw out plant that has been obliged to part with all it's top until it has been siven a chance to make a new start in life
 Don't plant them out in the garden beds, thinking thereby to save your self the work of caring for them during the summer and of benefiting them at the same time Of course they will take care of themselves there, and very likely make a much more luxuriant growth than they would in pots, but when fall comes and you have to lift and repot them you will find that more hard work is required of you than you would have expended on them throughout the summer if you had kept them in pots. As for the benefit to the plants, where will 1t come in? They will have made such a, rampant growth of roots that most of them will have to be sacrificed in reducing the earth con- taining them to the size of the pots you put them into, and this at the very time when the poor plants ought to be at their best in order to successfully with stand the unfavorable condition result ing from the change from outdoor to indoors Plants treated in this manner receive a check that they seldom fully recover from during the entire winter. Instead of saving yourself work and do- ing kindness to your plant you have done just the contrary.

force until June 15, 1s16 have been filed by the carriers and demurrage charges will be applied as follows:
 Forty-eight hours free time from the first a. m. after notice will be allowed, after which demurrage rate of H per day or fraction of a day will be collected for the succeeding three days, thereafter a demurrage charge of g will be collected of each day of fraction of day that a car is held under load.
 It will be noticed that the increased demurrage charge does not commence until car has been held five days.
 Shippers and consignees have very gen. erally approved the increased demurrage, believing that considerable relief will be obtained by reason of its enforcement Yours truly.
