BASIS FOR LOANS
TO FARM OWNERS
Federal Board Issues Rules for
the Gdidance of Land
Banks.
MANY MECHANICS ARE NEEDED
Ten Thousand Skilled Men Wanted for
Service in the Aviation Section of
the Signal Corps-New Kind Of
Bullets.

Washington. - The federal farm
loan board has issued the following
rules for the guidance of the land
banks in determining what area con-
stitutes farm for loaning purposes:
First, Generally-The farm must be
of sufficient area to yield at the hands
of an ordinarily capable farmer, put
orally adapted and using average meth
DDS, an income sufficient to maintain
the family of the applicant and dis
charge the interest and amortization
payments.
Second, Specially.-Where through
intensive farming or the practice of
speciality sufficient income has been
regularly derived from tract de-
'flcient in area for ordinary farming,
or where the application of the pros
pective borrower shows that he is by
experience capable of producing such
an income from such tract, such area
may be accepted as sufficient, provid-
ed the land has a stable and perma-
nent market value sufficient to warrant
the loan applied for. This ruling does
not apply to fruit and orchard lands
which have already been the subjects
of definite rulings by this board"
Under the first paragraph of this rul-
ing loans may be made to the ordinary
farmer on the basis of average skill
and efficiency, and no tract of land
will be accepted as farm eligible for
a loan under the federal farm loan act
unless, it is large enough to support
the family and take care of the loan
under the average farm conditions of
the neighborhOod.
But under the second paragraph of
the ruling the intensive farmer or the
man who practices a profitable special
ty or who shows himself able to do
SO, will be given financial support by
the federal loan system, even though
his farm may be too small for ordinary
farming purposes, provided that the
land quite apart from its use has
stable and permanent land value which
will make the loan safe whether it is
well operated, or badly operated, or.
not operated at all.

The present war has brought forth
a new kind of ammunition for airplane
use In the form of special cartridges
containing bullets for armor-piercing,
tracing, and incendiary PURPOSES. All
of these cartridges are of the small
rifle calibers according to a statement
authorized by the war department.
The three-tenths of an inch diameter
and short length of the bullet left lit
tie space for the armorpiercing ele-
ment or for tracer and incendiary com
position, but such combinations have
been made.
The bullets developed by the United
States ordnance department have been
tested on land and from airplanes to
see IL there Is any difference in their
performance when fired from a quick,
ly moving airplane in the upper atmos-
phere and when fired on land. These
tests indicate that the United States
has developed class Of special
cartridges with a performance fully
equal to or surprising that attained
abroad.

At the present time Idaho is
without financial arrangements to

The state has council of de-

has to pay all indebtedness con-

first approved by its executive
committee and then pass through
the state board Of examiners, re-
ceiving its approval. Properly f.

wILL STOCK FAMINE COME

-
WILL STOCK FAMINE CONES
For some time now it has been
apparent to those who have given
the matter thought, that the eoun-
try is threatened with an alarming
shortage in live stock-es especially
ment-prOdueing animals, though
horses and mules are also showing
a shortage.
When the war in Europe first
began, it was suggested by our
agricultural department that our
farmers and stock raiSers devote
greater attention to increasing the
number Of meat animals. 1t was
pointed out that the large foreign
demand would make great inroads
in our supply. This was the re-
suit, but not all the result. The
stimulated demand caused prices
to soar to abnormal figures. These
prices in turn caused all who had
stock to push them onto the mar
ket at the earliest moment, with
the result that thousands of head
of stock went to the butchers
when they should have been kept
on the farm.
Stock buyers inform us that
for the past years the average
weight of hogs especially has stea-
Oily declined, due to the fact that
the heavy feeders have been prac-
tieally exhausted and the lighter
animals are being pushed onto the
market
At a meeting Of food admins
traitors of number of states re-
Gently it was the unanimous de-
cision, after surveying the situa-
ton carefully, that concerted eff
fort must be made to increase the
breeding Of hogs and cattle, and /
each state represented in the con-
ference was given its per cent of
increase to be attained.
But it is right at this point that
the difficulty is encountered. The
high prices have not only caused
the immature animals to be saeri-
feed, but thousands of valuable
females have also been slaughter
ed which should have been kept on
the farms. There is not a particle
of doubt that the country is al
armingly short Of breeders.
There is but one remedy. mol
owner of hogs or cattle should sell L
or kill females capable Of repro
ducing their kind. This should be
made an ir0n-elad rule on the Il
farms and ranches of this country
for some time to come. Certain it
is that if the past, or even the pre-
sent rate Of consumption of fe- ,
males is continued for another
twelve months, the country will
face something little short Of a
meat famine.
We are a meat-eating race. But !
meat must be grown, and the ami
mails must have dams. The only II
way to insure the supply is to con- {
Ierve the females. This will have
o be done, even at the risk Of ev- b
ii higher prices than now prevail b
And, as prices now range, this '
viii be no sacrifice to the farm II,
RS, but rather a source of great D
n revenue, as all will see If they .
vii look at the matter IN the right s
light.
