The loan. kilograms TO the Liberty
Loan Committee from newspaper edl-
tors indicate that the farmer has done
little toward subscribing to the bonds.
Two sets Of figures are presented by
TIE committee The first covers an
estimate of the amount which each
subdivision Of the district should raise
based on the apportonment Of the "a
Federal Reserve District. The second
set of figures includes the amounts
actually reported to the Liberty Loan
Committee. 1t is pointed out that IN
many cases the bankers Of the various
cities have in view or in hand sub
scriptions which have not yet been Tor
warded to the committee.
Citizens Work Needed
In other cases, however this IS not
so. and the committee feels that seri-
Gus situation exists. which can only be
remedied BY the citizens as a whole IN
every city Of the state subscribing to
the full extent Of their ability and get
ting Others to do likewise.
The following table shows the sub
scriptions expected from each sub
division Of the New York Federal Re

Views on the loan in different parts
of the state, based on the kilograms
from newspaper editors are summa-
rized as follows:
Albany-Country districts are prov
ing Disappointing. Results IN larger
centres are fairly good. subscriptions
according TO the committee are not
I'D to expectations. When communl-
ties are we'll organized the loan is APP
parently proving decidedly popular.
ton-ApproXlmately lo,UUO
persons have subscribed more than
100000 toward the S3,0OOOOO set by
Broome County as her share. large
proportion Of smaller subscriptions
comes from factory workers. Farmers
have been slow to respond, but icy
have increased their crop acreage 90
per cent at heavy expense and II Is
Unstable to attack aem.
Farmers Show Indifference
Corning-Farmers are reported by
bankers 10 have been thus far lndlfer-
ent to the appeals Of the Liberty Loan
and few. if any. Of them have sub
scribed for bonds There has been a
fair response on the part of the small
investors, who are city dwelers.
Geneva-Bankers have set about a
quarter million dollars as far allot-
ment for this city. Over TWO hundred
meets OF the amount going 20 three
hundred thousand. There are about
six hundred subscribers here out Of
population Of 1900. Movement among
farmers is slower. as there has been
no campaign in rural communities.
Glens Falls The bankers here say
that all the industries here and some
of the farmers are subscribing freely
to the loan. They think Glens Falls
will subscribe al least one million
dollars; possibly more.
Elmira-Careful estimate OF loan
subscriptions in Elmira and the one
other bank in Chemung County gives
total Of S719.350 with about l,4OO sub
scribers. More than one-half our total
is in small denominations Responses
from farmers and country districts
very small indeed. Wage earners are
doing splendid work.
Apathetc in Newburgh
Newburgh The subscriptions to date
are $4,000 BY 100 persons. The total
BY the 18th will reach $4,000 by ZOO
persons. The general feeling i5 apa-
thetic and disposition 70 let the other
one do IL. The farmers are taking no
interest
Syracuse Seventeen thousand per-
sons have subscribed here, represent
ing over 10 per cent Of the city's popu-
lation. The great bulk OF the bonds
sold IS being distributed among wage
earners and persons Of moderate means.
Utica Oneida. and Hcrkimer coun-
ties have subscribed about SIS per cent
Of their quota Of the Liberty Loan
bonds. The City Of Rome has exceeded
its quota. Utica is backward, but Is
awakening. The reports from the coun-
try districts are not satisfactory.
Mount Vernon Estimated local sub
scriptions about $3.50 900 in three banks
\ here, representing $50 or more sub
scriptions made locally. 10 is not fair

scriptions alone, for the reason that the
