MEN OF CHESTERFIELD COUNTY!
Self-Sustaining Farmers Will
Have Preferment In Farm Loans

T. d. II. Won EnSleKen, president
of the Columbia land bank, said yes
terday that he had read with much
interest the proclamation issued by
Gov. Beckett, of North Carolina to
the people of his State, setting aside
April as planting Day."

nation made by Gov. Beckett, and
as a matter of information to the
farming population of the States of
North Carolina, South Carolina, Geor-
gia and Florida, wish to point out at
this time" Mr.. Won Engelken said,
"that one of the principal factors
that will be taken into consideration
by the board of directors Of this bank
in passing upon applications for loans
to be made through the federal land

or not the applying farmer is suffi-

throughout the year for food and
feeds and other necessary expenses.
What this bank will be principally
interested in in making it's ,loans
will be in each case to ascertain how
much net revenue the borrowing
farmer will have left to him out of
his crop earnings from which he can
repay his loan.
"In the four States which this bank
will serve there is at the present time
no reasonable excuse that can be of
fered by any farmer for not supply
himself and his family and his live
stock from his own farm with all the
food necessary for the entire year
Throughout the greater portion Of
the year kitchen garden will sup
ply the family with fresh vegetables
For the balance of the year small
canning plant will make any surplus
available. The city man to-day con-

day, evidence to that effect will be
highly appreciated in the Office of the
Federal Land Bank Of Columbia.
1T is the prime function Of this
bank to enable the farmers in the
district which it serves to become self

citizens. 1t is not our intention now,
nor will it be in the future, to en-
courage sending money into other sec
tions of the country to buy food sup
plies which can be raised as readily
at home.
Every farmer in this section of
the country should carefully read the
proclamation Of Gov. Beckett of
North Carolina and should take cour-

demonstrator or his agricultural col
lege and lay aside piece of land
which will supply him with the neces

Farm help was never much hard CT to get in this vicinity than it is this spring. One farmer stated Fri day morning that he was willing enough to make q special effort at crop producing this summer in com Dliance with the requests of the presi

He spoge of engaging five Italian labor CTS 10 assist him at ordinary work about the farm the tl1er day. of being obliged to nay them S2.50 for eight hours. and finally letting them go. lie said he could do more work in a day than the whole five of them. It may have been partly because they were not used to work on the farm: but the story illustrates the present condition of things so far as the farmer in con- eerned.
