AppOmattOx.

Tuesday last, April ., 1s65-is, was
the fifty-third anniversary of the sur
render of General Lee to General
Grant at the little village of Apo
mattox Court House, Virginia, and
when the brilliant and able military
chieftan Of the Confederate forces
rendered his sword to the leader Of the
Armies of the North on that April
day, the greatest war Of modern times
save that now raging in Europe. was
practically over.
In that bloody and terrible strug-
gle between brothers Of the sare
blood Grant had proved himself one of
the most brilliant soldiers of all time.
but the military genius Of the victor
was not superior to that Of the van
quished Lee. Grant proved his mag
nanimity as we'll as his soldierly quail
itics on that historic day. for he hand
ed back Lees proirered sword, and his
first order after the surrender was
that the half-starvcd Confcderatcs

launched up to that time could be in

WOULD PROVIDE
CREDIT WITHOUT
FARM MORTGAGE
Lubin Declares Agriculturists
Are At Mercy OF Money
Lenders Under Present
Plan.

ROME, June Correspondence Of
can farmer ought to he given credit
at a bank without being compelled to
mortgage his farm, declares David Lu-
hin, delegate from the United States
to the International Institute of Agri-
culture here.
Mr.. Lubin believes that, despite the
Federal Land Banks. the American
farmer still suffers a great disadvan-
tage In obtaining cash to carry on his
business To remedy this he has for
mulated simplified system of farm
banking and suggested 1t to William
G. McAdoo, the Secrtary of the Treas
ury and to the American Food Con
troller, Herbert Hoover
1.-The farmer at present does busi-
ness under tn stupid and costly poll
cy of the merchant of forty years
ago." said Mr.. L,ibin to The Associat-
ed Press. He supplies his needs on
long time credit in place of having re-
course to the chief banks of the cOun-
try for cash wherewith to place him
self on q cash basis. The farmer is
under the thumb of the money lenders
and of the store-keepers who sell to
him on a, credit basis"
why can't he have bank account,
that is credit on open account. like
any other business man? He's got
land, the bst security in the world"
NEED BANK CREDIT
''The Federal Land Bank has made
il possible for him to put up his farm
and get money on longtime mortgage
loans. These loans are made. hOwev-
er, for enlarging the farm or max
ing improvements or for paying of
old debts. But only limited number
of farmers will mortgage unless they
have to. The census for 1910 shows
that of 3,94S,722 farms we have 33.6
percent mortgaged. What these far
mers need, together with the other
66.4 percent, is credit at a bank in
stead of the costly. vicious credit at
the town store"
THE farmer can be put in a posi-
ti0n to pay cash for what he buys
by having the twelve Federal Land
Banks increase their functions so that
instead of merely granting mortgage
money at reasonable interest, they
may also issue a certificate that the
farmer is entitled to credit within a
fixed sum. This certificate deposited
in commercial bank in any place in
the union would enable the farmer to
obtain credit on open account at the
rate say of percent per annum aid
against this account he could draw
by check. with the right of closing his
account at any time by paying up,
when his certificate would he return
ed to him.
What should he done is to reduce
the banking business down to the
farmer. Let's put him in the favored
nation class. too. This can be done
by lgislation permitting the Land
Bank certify to the farmers credit"
