GOING SOME

There was 441,525 pounds of to-
bacco sold on Maysville market. last
week, Of which 12O,1O5 pounds was
sold at the Home Warehouse. The
market average was $685.. The
average at the Home was 1890, or rs
cents higher than the market. Had
all the tobacco sold, brought as much
as that sold through the Home, II
would have meant $4S,219 more money
in the pockets of the sellers. This is
certainly fine record for the Home
and proves that our home boys know
how to sell tobacco. SO far, they lead
in pounds sold and prices obtained. 2t

Mr. Koehler has an old barn and two

L. here that his pigs are raised until
pasturage time. He rents slightly over
two acres OF ground tust east Of town
and here turns his hogs out just as
soon ~ the blue grass II heavy enough
to offer more feeding.
The barn In town has been converted
into = hog house by the simple means
OF building a false wall inside and fill-
ing the six inches Of space between It
and the outer wall with char and
screenings. This makes an excellent
insulation and as the litter pens are

fire.
"A glass side has been installed on the
south side of the Earn SO that the sun
light Is caught during the day and
heating Is not necessary. Even in the
very coolest weather OF February and
March the barn Is warm and Koehler's
pigs have never suffered from the cold.
AS soon as possible, the young pigs
are allowed to get out Into the open air
in the dots to the south OF the barn.
These lots are planted In rape Just as
early as possible after the pigs are
moved to the larger field: e:5. css town
This field Is divided and equipped SO as
to provide separate fields for the gifts
and the boars and feeding pens for

Mr.. Koehler has built his own feeding
troughs after design which he Il able

troughs are divided 80 that each hog
has q place for his snout without being
crowded by or providing his neighbor.
The same idea IL carried out In his

and provides room for FIVE hogs on each

COLLECTIVE BORROWING. .
Farmers Cooperate in Establishing
Improved Relations with Banks.

Farmers Cooperate ~ aEStAphsH'nO
Improved Relations with Banks.
What cooperation among farmers
can do to improve their borrowing ca
pacity at banks IS thus described IN
bulletin No. 400, Factors Affecting In
terest Rates and Other Charges on
Short Time Farm + Loans recently
published by the department:
SIN some partx Of tire country where
Farmers, IL they obtained loans at AT
as individuals. were compelled 70" pay
very high rates of interest, plans have
been tried out under which groups OF
farmers have been able collectively TO
establish improved relations with
banks. In several localities OF the
central western and Rocky Mountain
regions farmers have formed temper
ary agreements under which they act
collectively as guaranty associations
for approved loans of members. The
added security from these associations
has enabled members to obtain loans
at reduced rates Of interest. Another
plan. illustrated by what has been done
in a Texas community, involves tenn
porary agreement between group OK
farmers and bank. but differs from
the plan previously mentioned in mat
the added security consists OF re-
serve fund left with the banker. Eacn
borrower allows the bank to retain
per cent Of his loan for reserve FUND,
which is held as a guaranty Tor all the
loans made under the agreement and
Is returned to the farmers at the ter
minat!on OF the agreement.
Under another plan. which has been
employed IN several communities OF
the Northwest group OF business,
men agree to deposit sum OF money
with bank and guarantee the loans
given to farmers for some specific and
approved purpose. In all such cases
farmers have been able to obtain
credit on more favorable terms than
usual
Tn a number OF localities In this
country groups Of farmers have or
ganized cooperative credit associations
or credit unions. Usually each credit
union makes definite arrangements
with some bank by which the latter
acts 3. e. depnsitary ana furnishes
loans on specified terms. Thus one Of
the unions in North Carolina receives
9 per cent interest from its bank on
deposits subject to check and per
cent on savings accounts left on de-
post three months or longer and pays
5 per cent interest on its loans from
the bank. The credit union in turn
pays its own members I per cent on
their savings accounts and furnishes
them loans at per cent Such a
credit union not only accustoms its
members to the use Of check and saw
ings accounts but also enables the
members to obtain loans for approved
productive purposes on better. terms
than they could obtain elsewhere"
