Monday night another ugly break

Monday night another ugly break
occurred in the fiume Of the main can
al of the West Okanogan Valley Irri-
cation system. The break this time
occurred short distance this side Of
the power plant, on the Similkameen
river, and so feet of the f1ume was
wrecked. Seepage had caused a slide
of dirt with the consequent disaster to
the fiume. The break will hardly be
repaired and water turned in before
tomorrow. Fortunately water is not
so badly needed as earlier in the sum-
mer, so that no great injury will re-
suit from this last shutting-of OF the
supply.

LAND VALUES GOING UP

Governmental statistics gathered
in the State of Washington show
that farm land is rising in value at
the rate of about four per cent per
year. That means that every year
the farmer must make more money
per acre, it means that the farmer
must pay more attention to the bus
mess side of farming. Farmers are
meeting the rising prices of farm
land by making farming a business
Farm bookkeeping methods are no
longer thing of the past on farms,
Farm ers who can tell exactly what
they make during the year are no
longer rare. Every year forces farm
ers to be better business men. Farm
ing is a business, businesses need
careful study, farmers must study
their farm business in order to be
successful.

SOME FARM LOAN
QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Below you will find reproduced
number of the questions most COM
monty asked in letters coming to the
Federal Farm Loan Board together
with the answers furnished by direc-
ton of the board:
/. What constitutes an actual
farmer" An actual farmer is one
who conducts the farm and directs
its entire operation. cultiyating the
same with his own hands, or by
means of hired labor. An owner, to
borrow under the farm loan act,
must be responsible in every way,
financially and otherwise, for the
cultivation of his land.
9. What is the meaning of
equipment? Equipment consists
of the implements needed in the con-
duct of a farm to facilitate its OPP
Grafton. 1t might consist of teams
as well as machinery tools and like
articles.
3. What is the meaning of "im-
provement"? Anything in the form
of beneficial structure, or any use
full, permanent physical change tend
ing to increase productive value,
such as clearing, thing, draining,
fencing, buildings, etc.
4. Has a farm loan association
the right to appoint an attorney to
draw up abstracts and pay him out
of its official funds, or should the
members of the association club to-
gether as individuals and have this
done? Each borrower is required to
furnish his own abstract and the APP
plicant must stand the expense of
preparing this abstract. An associ-
alton has not right to employ any of
it's corporate funds to pay for the
preparation of abstracts for its mem
bers. This must be an individual
charge, and if members of an asso-
citation club together to have this
work jointly done they must 90 1t as
individuals and not as an associa-
ton. Each borrower is free to make
his own choice in the selection of an
attorney or abstractor.
s. What will be the rate of in
terest? Not exceeding six per cent.
The exact rate can not yet be told;
one per cent more than the interest
rate farm loan bonds will bear.
6. May members of a partnership
borrow? Yes, if one of both are
farmers and engaged in the cultiva-
ton of the land mortgaged. Part
ners must join severally in executing
the mortgage and one should give
the other authority to represent him
in the farm loan association, as only
one can have membership.
7. Will the federal land banks
make any charge for examination of
abstracts of title? The exam ination
of abstracts, when furnished, Will be
made by the Banks general attorney
at Its office, and for this examina-

GOOD SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES
A factor in community development

n factor in community development
The schools and churches of
| community must be so closely re-
lated that their activities will per
fectly coordinate. Both institutions
must be educational as well as char
acter builders. Personally | can see
no reason why ancient history or
literature taught in a Sunday school
by the same teacher or one equally
as good as teachers in the day
school should not be given credit
IN the regular school work.
Education is education wherever
you get it and the sooner we get
away from the belief that culture
only comes from the study of those
things that are written about gen
erations ago then the greater will
our progress be.
Too often we elect a school board,
instruct them to employ teachers
and tiguratiyely say Now we have
done our duty, you do yours" What
do you suppose would happen if all
of the parents were interested in
the men and women who are teach
ing our boys and girls? | wonder
what would happen if some of our
school boards were requested to see
to 1t that our boys and girls were
given training along lines that
would make it easier for them to
earn an honest living.
If our big crop and best crop is
| boys and girls let us never lose sight
of this one fact and let us prepare
1t the best way we know how. Let
us quit trying to make preachers,
| lawyers, doctors and teachers out
of material that is intended for farm
ers, mechanics and housewives. Let
us see to it that all industrial &C
tivities are reported in our schools.
Now that people have passed that
| period of belief in many places that
the pastor is different than other
men and that the church can profit
ably be used as a community center,
our religion is going to serve a pur-
pose to man. The church should be
a part of the immunity. Its Sun
day School, Young Peoples Society,
Ladies' Aid and Business Mems Or
ganization each have a great field of
work and when properly incorporat-
ed into the community eliminates
laws and ordinances, influences abso-
lutely detrimental to the good of
civilization.
| never could understand why any
where from $4,000 to $4,000 and
| $4,000 should be tied up in
church building in community for
| the use of from 25 to 80 per cent
of the people six or seven hours per
week. The church should be used
more and more people should use it,
Look over the following factors
and consider them with regard to
how they fit your community:
/. Productivity of Soil.
2. Market and Transportation
Facilities.
3. Good Roads and Streets
4. An intelligent Reading Peo-
Pile.
5. Good Schools and Churches.
6. Suitable Parks and Recreation
