Department Of Commerce Shows Vast
Gain in Wealth Under Wilson,
Munitions Business Is but One
Per Cent. of Total.

In answer to the cry of Republican
politicians, that the unprecedented
prosperity that has come to America
under the administration of President
Wilson is due to the European war
orders, comes a statement from
Charles NJ Schwab, head of the
Bethlehem Steel Company, himself
Republican, that refutes the charge.
at is mistake to imagine that the
major portion of our business is war
order business" says Mr.. Schwab, In
q signed article in the October number
of System. "Even casual inspection
of the great volume of exports will
demonstrate that the bulk Is drawn
from the ordinary course of business.
II is also found that, at present
prices, domestic business is as profit.
able as foreign muntion business"
No one can doubt the capability of
Mr.. Schwab to judge the business stu
alton, nor can one gainsay the recent
figures issued by the Department of
Commerce In this report, it Is stated
that, during the first eight months
of the present fiscal year, the exports
of the United States showed a trade
balance in favor of this country of
81, 73O,OOO,OOO.

Former High-Interest Agencies
Rush to Reduce Rates to
the Farmers.
BIGGER LOANS AT LESS COST
May Borrow Half of Land Value
at Less Than Five Per Cent
Effect Already Being Felt
Strongly.

The effect Of the new rural credit
law, passed by the Democratic Admin
istration, already is being felt in lower
interest rates, although the land banks
have not yet been organized. Testi-
mony to this effect is being given at
the hearings held by the Federal Farm
Loan Board in various western cities.
AT the hearings in Nebraska, numer-
GUS farmers stated that interest rates
in the demonstrating section Of that
State already have been reduced from
one to two per cent. by the prospec-
tive competition of the thirty to forty
year loans that the land banks soon
will be making.
The average loan that an insurance
company or other loan agency would
make on 640-acre "Kinkaid" claim
was $1,000. The commission deducted
from this left the farmer $3.50. He
paid interest at from to 10 per cent.
for five years on $1,000, making his
average net interest rate from II to
ID per cent.
This now is stopped by the coming
competition of the new rural credits
law. Loan agents are rushing into
Nebraska to make five-year loans at
lower rates, to foreStall the operation
of the new law.
Lodge Protecting Banks.
This may account for the attack
made on the Democratic rural credit
measure by Senator Lodge, at Bever-
ly, Mass, on Sept. %, when he stated
that money could be borrowed on bet
ter terms from regular agencies than
under the rural credit act.
Mr.. Lodge declares that this act will
endanger the present National and
cooperative banks and tend to break
them down, according to the report of
his speech in the Boston Globe.
The farmers of the West, who have
suffered exorbitant interest rates for
years, are not worrying about the
banks. Their testimony before the
Farm Loan Board showed that they
are enthusiastic over the new law, and
ready to help put it in successful op.
GRAFTON.
Benefits to Farmers.
The new farm loan act provides
means by which farmers can form CO.
operative or joint stock associations
and borrow from the regional Federal
Farm Loan Bank on the security Of
their land. Ten farmers can form one
of these associations. They can bor-
row up to so per cent. of the value of
their land, for a period running up to
forty years.
The loan is repayable in small an
nual installments, or can be paid in
full at any time. The estimated in
terest rate is per cent. The farmer
who borrows will share in the profits
of the business, thereby reducing his
interest rate to still lower figure.
The Democratic National Commit
tee has issued from it's headquarters,
at No. 80 East Forty-second street,
New York, a pamphlet for free distri-
button fully explaining the rural
credits law. 1t may be obtained from
your Democratic State or County
Committee.

Trade Balance $4,000, 900, 900.

Predictions are made that the trade
balance for the entire year will ex-
coed the unprecedented figure Of ST.
5OO,OO0,000. The value of the exports
for the eight months was $3,435, $780,
PIP, an increase Of $1,205, 1882, 100 over
the same period last year.
Another financial authority, too,
has spoken-Charles Hayden, of Bos-
ton. He estimates that American
securities held abroad have been re-
duced from $6OOO,OOO,OOO, before the
war, to $1,OOO,OOO,OOO at the present
time. Coincidentally, the United States
has become a creditor of foreign ma
lions, for the first time in history, to
the extent of 81 ,5OO,O00,0OO. Under Will
son, therefore, we have wiped out
$6000,000,00O of foreign Indebtedness,
and are a creditor to the amount of
$5OOOOO,OOO.
Mr.. Hayden calls attention to the
fact that this always was debtor
nation under Republican rule.
All Glasses Prosperous.
And so, from all sections of the
country, from all kinds and classes
Of business, from the merchant, the
manufacturer the farmer, the work
ingman, come reports of unparalleled
prosperity. The Chamber Of Com
merce of the United States, in an
official report, declares that basic
stocks are rising, that railroad earn
ings are abnormally high Indicating
the great movement of commOdities),
and that the national prosperity will
continue.
Not temporary prosperity, due to
the war, is this that is filling the
Golfers of the nation. 1t has a sound
basis for permanency, made certain
by the laws enacted under the Wilson
Administration. The President him
self, in his recent speech at Balti-
more, emphasized the value to the
country of the Tariff Commission, the
Trade Commission, the Federal Re-
serve Board and the shipping bill.
These enactments not only will slim
ulate the productiveness of the coun-
try, but will safeguard it's output and
provide means of conveying it to all

Thirteen Reasons Why Industry
Shuns Havre de Grace.

A good deal has been said in the
very recent past as to the difficulty
Of inducing manufacturing enter
prises to locate at Havre de Grace.
The Mayor of that pretty little city
has himself deplored in strong
language his failure to bring in
dustry to see the advantages of
Havre de Grace as a center.
There are just 13 reasons why
industry does not care to locate at
Havre de Grace. A reference to
he newspapers Of Hartford county
for the second week in May will
disclose these reasons, each one of
which was granted a license to sell
liquor in Havre de Grace for the

Cost OF Milk Production.

A large and enthusiastic audience
greeted Mr.. F. A. Carroll, Agent in
Dairying in Delaware for the Wash
ington Government, when he and Mr..
Lintner of the Experimental Station
attended the meet of the Farmers
and Dairymen's Association, at Elk
ton, and Mr.. Carroll gave an address
on cost of milk production. Mr..
Carroll showed figures collected in
New York, Missouri, New Jersey
and several of the New England
states as well as the work done by
the Boston Chamber of Commerce,
just what the average overhead
charges in these places were and that
the cost of feed was comparatively
small part of the cost of quart of
milk. Mr.. Carroll is we'll fitted for
such talks as for several years he
was engaged in testing milk for COW
testing associations and in gathering
statistics of the cost of milk. He
then explained the principles of COW
testing associations and the import
ance in these days of high cost of
labor and feed, of the farmer know
ing just what his cost was, otherwise
he might be going behind every
month. Probably the most instruc-
tive part of his address was that
devoted to the lowering of cost of
production by the increase of pro-
duction per year. by keeping better
COWS and better judgment in feeding.
In all cases the above results are
obtained from well managed low
testing association.

ARE WE TO HAVE A SUMMER
LESS YEAR?
Pennsylvania German Weather
Prophets Refer to 1916 and
Say History Repeats Itself
Every 100 Years.
Every 100 Years.


Pennsylvania German weather
sharps figure that 1916 will be a
summerless year, the same as 1916,
just 100 years ago. According to
these old-time weather sages,, the
theory is that history repeates itself
every 100 years. That the year
1916 was without a summer is a
matter of history, and is recalled by
many old people, to whom the rec
ord of the remarkable phenomenon
was handed down by their parents.
Ice formed every month of the
year 1916, there we're heavy falls
of snow in midsummer" and the
grain, fruit and vegetable crops
almost a, complete failure. In fact,
there were no fruit and garden
truck, and the cereal crops were so
slim that farmers were able to
thresh only half bushel of wheat
per hundred Shocks. instead of
eleven bushels, which was the aver
age yield in those days.
1t is reported that one morning
the farmers found their wheat,
which had just come to head, cover
ed with an inch of snow, and, fear
ing that the grain would be frozen,
many of them took long ropes,
which they stretched across the
fields, and walking along, scraped
the snow off the wheat heads.
Other farmers waited until the snow
melted, and tradition says they
threshed more grain than their
neighbors who removed the snow,
the latter protecting the best heads
from a cold spell that came along
about that time.
Old-time weather prophets say
that the year 1915 will be summer
less, and point to the fact that ice
formed in every one of the four
months so far this year, and that
vegetation is more than month
backward in it's development.

Farmers Day AT Maryland Agri-
cultural College,

The Maryland farmer who visits
his State College of Agriculture on
May 80 next will be well repaid for
his expenditure in time and energy
provided he goes for the purpose OF
finding out definitely what is being
done at the institution along tn
lines in which he is particularly
interested and makes known his
interests. His good wife will most
assuredly enjoy day away from
the work of the farm home if she
not only has the pleasure of the
trip but can take home with her as
well some helpful thought or idea
that will tend to Tighten her work
or make her labor more effective.
The presence of both will be an
undoubted source of encouragement
and enlightenment to the special
lists who are employed to do them
service. The men and women en-
ployed in connection with the work
of the Institution will undoubtedly
do more effective work during the
coming year in proportion to the
opportunity they have for talking
to the farmer and farm woman re-
garding the problems which are
fresh in their minds and expert
ence. Neither should we forget
the effect on the farm boy and girl,
for they are the ones to whom the
greatest benefits of properly en-
dowed and administered State Col
lege of Agriculture will come.
They have the opportunity to
grow up knowing of its work and
the various ways in which they
can cooperate with it in the
upbuilding of their neighborhoods.
Their opportunity of opportunities
is this chance to visit the College
and come to an understanding OF
its work and its teaching which
would impress on them more than
any one thing the opportunity for
agriculture in Maryland, and the
dignity of the calling when they
are getting their first ideas OF what
they would like to be and do.
Farmers Day at their State Col
lege of Agriculture should be the
great get together day for the agli
cultural interests of the State; the
day when the farmer, the farm
woman, the country boy and girl,
and everyone interested in better
farming, better living, and a great
or Maryland, should find his or her
way to the Institution that is going
to be the great leading agency OF
the State for agricultural progress.
