HOW TO SECURE AID FROM
FARM LOAN BOARD

The Federal Farm Loan Board has
issued the following rules for the
guidance Of the land banks in deter
mining what area constitutes farm
for loaning purposes:
" First. Generally The farm must
be of sufficient area to yield at the
hands Of an ordinarily capable far
mer, putting it TO the use to which it
is generally adapted and using aver
age methods, an income sufficient to
maintain the family of the applicant
aud discharge the interest and amor
tization payments.
Second. Specially Where through
Intensive farming or the practice of
a speciality sufficient income has
been regularly derived from tract
deficient in area for ordinary farm
ing, Or where the application of the
prospective borrower shows that he
IS by experience capable of produc
ing such an Income from such tract
such area may be accepted as sufi-
clent, provided the land has stable
and permanent market value suffici-
ent to warrant the loan applied for.
This ruling does not apply to fruit

GARDENING

Alton Democrat: Heap of fun
these cold days in looking over the
bright colors in the seed catalogues.
Every single variety listed is posi-
lively the earliest and sweetest vege-
table ever grown. Only show them
hoe and! they are sure to mature.
The soil must be "sandy loan" and
the richer the better. The ground
must be kept clean, of course, and
that means an additional lot of fun
during the summer season each night
and morning. Gardening is prefer
ably done in the morning. You go
out of the kitchen door, always
scantily clad, carefully wipe off the
hoe, and examine each packet of
seeds in order to see if they have
the right color. The odor of the
soil greets you, the thrush oyer in
yonder thicket is trying TO get your
attention and the radient eastern
sun is laughing in your face But
the real gardener pays no attention
to anything except real business.
which is gardening. 1t looks as
though we must wait week or two
before entering upon this delightful
period, but it is coming. Therefore
get your seeds ready.

and orchard lands which have al
ready been the subject of definite
rulings by this board"
Under the first paragraph of this
railing loans may be made to the
ordinary farmer on the basis of aver
age skill and efficiency, and no tract
of land will be accepted as a 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 aver
age farm conditions of the neighbor-
hood.
But under the second paragraph
of the ruling the intensive farmer or
the man who practices a prodta BILE
speciality, or who shows himself able
to do so, will be given financial sup.
port by the Federal Farm Loan sys-
tenn, even though his farm may be
too small for ordinary farming pur-
poses, 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.

TRAIN CONDUCTORS LET OUT

Lead, S. D.. Mar. 1S S--Railroad men
arriving in the Black Hills report that
during the last week the Union Pacific
railroad discharged from the service of
the company forty EIGHT passenger con-
ductors. This is said to be the largest
cleanup of passenger conductors
ever made at one time by any railroad
in the country. 1t is alleged that In
every one of the forty eight cases rail-
road money was appropriated and not
turned in according to tile rules of the
company. The railroad men who
brought this news to South Dakota fur
ther report that since the government
took control of the railroads the system

Many use poison bait; but my
preference, especially where there
are pets TO get at such things as
sweetened poisoned bran, is for paper
collars. AS the worms crawl along
the ground and eat right at the sur
face, a stiff paper or cardboa rolled
into a collar and securely pinned

perhaps a halfinch around the plant
is about as good a defense as can be
devised. 1t must be put in place

seed corn shortage would have an ad-
verse effect upon the production of
corn in 1918, and that the pri of
seed corn has an important bearing
on the maintenance of acreage. Em.
phasls has been placed on the con-
seryatlon of an ample supply of seed
regardless of expense and effort to
obtain it. 1t is not the intention of
the department to indicate as un-
reasonable, prices that are necessary
TO provide a fair return for all eff
forts that have been made to con-
serve seed. A fair price should be
determined by the actual service per.
formed in obtaining and conserving
such seed.
Certain sections of the country,
particularly east and south of the
main corn belt, were more favored
than the others by the fall conditions
OF 1917 Other sections of the coun-
try apparently can provide for their
own requirements without great diff
tieulty, and therefore, relatively
lower prices in those sections should
prevail

nounced Its intention to take such
action as may be necessary to pre-
vent speculation or profiteering on
the part of seedsmen. Upon receipt
of specific information of extortion-
ate prices being charged for seeds,
