THE FARM LOAN BANK.

The last decade has witnessed
a notable charge in the relations
between the Department OF
Agriculture and the Individual
farmer, says tt e Baltimore News.
Time was when the Governments
advice gratis was regarded as
officiousness. Moreover, the ad-
vice, while gratis, was usually to
be had only on specific appllea-
ton for it, or else furnished in
the form of technical and wholly
impersonal scientific pamphlets
the subjects of which might or
might not hit your own special
problem.
But little by little both the
Government and the farmer
have learned. The ground is on
ly scratched as yet, speaking
from the standpoint of highly
developed pattern alism; but, new
ertheless, astonishing progress
has been made, on the one hand,
toward being practically helpful
and on the other toward appre-
citation and confidence.
We may deduce from it the
promise of similar success for
the rural credit system. In the
West, where farming is distinctly
commercial and on a correspon-
dinghy well-deveioped business
basis, success may come quickly.
In the East, the region OF small
farms and not over much agrl-
cultural fine nee, we hardly be-
lieve it will reach its height with
out consic.. cradle preliminary ed
ucation.
This city is, of course, to be
congratulated over its selection
as~one of the Farm Bank CEN
tiers. AS the system grows,
Baltimore ought to be drawn
more and more closely in touch
with the agricultural field CEN
tered.here. And yet Maryland,
Pennsylvania, Delaware, Virgil
MIA, West Virginia and the Dis
trict of Columbia do not compose
a district of exalted agricultural
possibilities. Its farms are old
and we'll established. 1t is fairly
thickly populated, with good
borrowing facilities already. The
farmer in it has not much dltfl-
Guilty today in placing a mortgage
on unincumbered property on
reasonably satisfactory terms.
He can do it without consulting
his neighbors and certainly with
out waiting until nine or more OF
his neighbors feel impelled to
Join with him as borrowing club
all &C uted by motives which will
stand the scrutiny of a board
whose duty it is to pass upon the
purposes for which loans are
made.
The farmer will not be able to
borrow from the Land Bank
simply to buy a Ford. This is
one of the things to be remem-
bered. But he can do so to build
barns, buy reapers or fertilizer
or fences or even new land, pro-
vided, apparently, that there
are nine or more other farmers
in his community equally ambiti-
GUS and forward with schemes of
Improvement.
This association" idea is the
basis of the system. That its
development requires consider
able educational effort goes with
out saying. 1t is very satisfac-
tory to have one of the banks To-
Gated here; but to get full profit
from it means missionary work;
and if success finally comes, it
will be marked less in increased
financial transactions or closer re-
lations between the city and rur-
al communities than in wholes ale
improvement in agricultural con-
ditions, from housings to crops,
throughout the district.

Washington, July 15.-President
Wilson Friday came to the support OF
the administration food control bill as
originally submitted to Congress.
In response to a request from Sen
ate leaders for assistance in solving
the difiiculties standing in the way of
action there, the President sent to
Democratic Leader Martin a, personal
letter recommending the general pur-
pose OF the original bill for govern
ment control of foods, feeds and fuels
only.
He wrote that he believed unneces-
sary the extension Of government con-
troll as proposed in amendments at
tached In Congress TO steel, iron, cop
per. cotton, wool. leather and other
products.
The substitute bill drawn by Sena-
tor Gore was opposed by the Presi-
dent as an ecasculation Of the admin
istration legislation. He wrote that he
deplored the delay on the bill and con-
sidered promp: fral disposition OF the
