CONVERTING FIRST LIBERTY
LOAN BONDS
Right of Conversion

BY the terms of their bonds, which
are contracts with the United States,
holders of bonds of the First Liberty
Loan (and of interim certificates
therefore,l have the right to convert
such bonds Cor certifcates) at par
into an equal par amount of bonds
bearing a higher rate of interest,
should the United States before the
termination of the present war issue
any bonds bearing higher rate of in
terest. This right of conversion is to
be exercised within such period and
under such rules and regulations as
may be made by the Secretary of the
Treasury.
Secretary McAdoo has prescribed
the terms and conditions governing
the conversion of three and one-hlaf
per cent, bonds of the First Liberty
Loan in to four per cent. bonds. The
official regulations constitute Treas
ury Department Circular No. 90
Liberty Loan Circular No. 81 which
the Treasury Department viii send on
request TO any bondholder or any citi-
zen.
Bonds of the First Liberty Loan
may be converted into four per cent
convertible gold bonds of 1924.
the terms of which will be identical
with the bonds of the Second Liberty
Loan, except that they will have the
same dates for payment of interest,
the same date of maturity of princi-
pal and the same terms of redemption
as the bonds of the First Liberty
Loan.
The inconvenience of adjusting in
terest upon conversion viii be avoid
| ed If the holders of bonds of the First
! Liberty Loan, who desire to convert,
| effect such conversion either as of
November 8, and up to and including
November IS, 1917, or by rendering
their holdings otter November Is,
and on CT before December Is, 1917.

cember Is, 1917, will necessitate pay

Wheat, Cattle and Bankers


Wheat and cattle on the Fort Hays
Experiment attracted much interest
and favorable comment from the
northwest Kansas Bankers Associa-
ton which met at Hays, November
18th.
Most of the Stations wheat has
come up we'll in site of the dry fall.
Its good termination and early
growth was due mainly to July ploW-
ing and careful work later on the
seeded.
A new type of disk lister drill was
tried out this fall on part of each
field This drill plants the rows a
foot apart and twice as deep as the
ordinary drill. 1t is hoped that this
drill will prove valuable for use
where there is danger of soil blow
ing and where the surface soil is
dry but has moisture available be-
meath it for terminating the wheat.
Several years of careful testing on
a large scale, will, however, be neces-
sary before any conclusions can be
stated.
The Stations cattle came in of
pacture in good shape and plans are
now being made for the winters
feeding experiments. The test on de-
vlOpment of eighty breeding heifers
will be continued on the same plan
as last winters experiment. With
the sheep, hogs and buffalo, the Sta
ton showed HOG head of livestock
to the visiting bankers.
The three reel moving picture film
showing all the activities of the Fort
Hays Experiment Station is still IN
demand It is available for the use
of organizations without expense
other than the express charges.

hvered until November 10, 1917.
Bonds of the First Liberty Loan
which are not converted in the exer-

Iege will still have the right, if any
bonds should later be issued by the
United States Government during
the war bearing a higher rate OF in
terest, to convert their bonds into
bonds bearing such higher rate of in
terest. Failure to exercise the con-
version privilege within six months
from November Is, 1917, effects only
the present conversion privilege and
not any later privilege of conversion
which may arise.
