WARNING ISSUED AGAINST
SCHEME TO SWINDLE
FARMERS

Another scheme for swindlinI
the farmers of the United States
has been discovered by the Federal
Farm Loan Board. A man advertis-
ing himself as an authorized organ
iZer Of national farm-loan associa-
tionS is sending out advertising
matter emblazoncd with the nation
al flag, stating that he will organize
such associations at $500 each, and
will teach others the trick for a
certain sum Of money. His adver-
tisements have reached farmers and
business men over a large part Of
the United States. He claims to be
so busy organizing national farm
loan associations that he needs
help. but will take time TO teach
others for monetary consideration.
All such representations are frau
dulent. In order TO borrow under
the farm loan act, il is necessary
for farmers TO organize co-opera-
tive national NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

a violation Of a ruling of the Fed
eral Farm Loan Board, published
more than a year ago, for a ma
tiOnal farm-loan association o.
ioint-stock land bank TO spend any
money for promotion purposes. AS
sociations thus organized will not
be chartered by the Federal Farm
Loan Board. Farmers are warned
therefore against anyone asking a
fee for his proffered services in
connection with applying for a loan

BEREA BANK & TRUST CAMpANY

Berea Bank & Trust Company Is
putting up $500 10 buy Rhode Island
Red eggs this year and distribute
TO the farmers. The bank will not
accept any eggs from any flock
where the flock hasn't been graded

bank take any eggs from a flock Of
birds where there are any other
ROSTERS on the same farm. We
want pure bred eggs this year and

LOOK AFTER FARM TOOLS
Now Is the Time TO Put Every Farm
ing Utensil in Working Order

Farm machinery in recent years
has played a very important role
in crop production, and this year
its place in farm operations is more
important than ever before. The
proper amount and kind Of tools
will enable the farmer TO work more
land and obtain better returns. In
fact, the increased use Of farm ma
ohinery frequently makes il pos
sible 10 manage the farm with less
help. One OF the greatest causes Of
deterioration Of farm tools and i'm
plements is their exposure 10 the
weather and the failure upon the
part Of the farmer or laborer 10
clean them properly before they are
put away for the season when they
are not in active use. There Is a
wide variation in the length OF life
OF those farm implements treated
properly and those left 10 rust out

The lack Of proper storage and care
during the winter months Is re-
sponsible for much Of the deprecia-
ton. This season also is the best
time in which 10 repair machines
and put them in proper mechanical
condition.
The farmer has everything 10
gain and nothing 10 lose by placing
his order as early as possible for
new machines and repair parts
which will be needed next season.
II this fact is true in normal times,
its importance is magnifled many
times now that shipments frequent
ly require longer time.
The farmer has been advised
times without number concerning
the desrirability Of overhauline
farm tools and implements during
the slack season. Whether such
advice is necessary or whether il
is acted upon in normal times L.
not question TO be considered
now. The need for ample machin-
cry. running smoothly and without

tant to the farmer than ever before.
