LICE INJURIOUS TO TURKEYS
Common Body Louise of Chickens Is
Often Found in Sufficient Num-
bers to Be Harmful.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Four species Of lice are commonly
found on turkeys in this country. One
of these. which occurs particularly on
turkeys associated with chickens, is
the common body louise of chickens
This species is not found in great
numbers on turkeys, but it sometimes
becomes sufficiently abundant to cause
considerable irritation and doubtless
Is injurious both to the grown fowls
and to the young. The shaft louise Of
chickens also has been found on tur-
keys, but probably does not breed on
that host. The other two species
seem to be native to the turkey, prob
ably existing on this fowl in the wild
state. The large turkey louise prob
ably is most abundant. 1t occurs on
the feathers on various parts of the
body, especially on the neck and
breast. The slender turkey louise is
a species of good size, though rather
elOngate, resembling in shape the
head louise of chickens. Normally
neither of these species is excessively
abundant, but on unthrifty turkeys
they may cause serious annoyance.

uments is filed in the state division Of
markets. and duplicate copy is sent
for filing with the clerk of the county

alton Is then complete the cost being
limited to the notary fees and So for

The members of the board of directors
and the committees are then sworn in
and bond Is provided for the treas
urer.
Establishing Banking Connections.
The board Of directors appoints a
bank committee to select some local
banking institution through which the
union does It's business. The credit
union Is accorded treatment similar to
that which one bank gives another As
a rule it receives per cent interest
upon time deposits and 3 per cent on
monthly balances, while it borrows
from the bank at per cent interest.
The business of the organization is
formally begun at fourth meeting at
which time each member buys one or
more shares of stock at $40 a share,
and deposits with the union any idle
cash that can be spared. The union
also accepts deposits from nonmem-
bers. It's operations are similar to a
small-scale bank, but it is able to oper-
ate at q minimum of expense since
most of the overhead expenses of
regular bank are eliminated. The off
GERS. with the exception of the treas
urer, receive no compensation. The
treasurer, who is required to devote
three or four hours week to the bus
mess of the organization, usually re-
ceives a salary of about $50 a year.
The credit union thus becomes primar-
lily a mutual society of borrowers and
depositors operating under state law.

One OF the greatest needs of farm
ers in the United States is sborttimp
personal credit on reasonable terms.
Inc federal loan banks are taking good
care of the land-mortgage REQUIRE
ments In many cases, but they are not
always available for new settlers and
for farmers or planters who need per
sonal loans to buy live stock, nipple
ments, or other equipment. The need
for shOrt-time personal credit is shown
as a result of an investigation by the
United States department Of agricul-
ture in the Southern states. where If
was found go per cent of the farmers
depend upon advances from merchants
during the p-producing season.
Credit extended by merchants. COM
monty known as the advancing system
is usually exceedingly high. It Is esti-
mated by the department that hun
dreds of millions of dollars would be
saved by the farmers each year If the
means already adopted in number Of
communities were put into general USE
The means referred to Is that of prop
erly organized rural credit unions.
State Laws hieIp Credit Unions.
In nine states laws have been enact
ed under which farmers as well as
wage earners in cities may organize
credit unions, These laws, in 50 far
as they affect rural credit, enable the
farmers who are members to obtain
loans on terms which compare favor
ably with those secured by the city
business men. The movement Of sur
plus funds of the individual farmers
has in general been toward the city,
but rural credit unions encourage the
retention of money made on the farm
where it is most needed. In addition,
It tends to turn the current of urban
capital toward rural districts, as out
side credit is secured through regular
credit channels-the banks.
1t is impossible to formulate meth
cd of procedure in the organization OF
credit unions that will apply to each
of the states, but the plan followed in
North Carolina, where IL strictly
farmers organizations are now in OPP
Grafton. should be of interest. In North

HOUSTON IN FAVOR
OF CREDIT UNIONS

sThere should be provided a
system of personal-credit unions,
especially for the benefit of In
dividuals whose financial cir
cumstances and scale Of opera
lions make it difficult for them
to secure accommodations
through the ordinary channels.
Organized commercial banks
make short-term loans Of great
aggregate volume to the farmers
of the nation possessing the
requisite individual credit, but
there are many farmers who, be-
cause Of their circumstances,
are prevented from securing the
accommodations they need.
The men I have especial
ly In mind are those whose oper-
atoms are on small scale and
who are not In most cases inti-
mately in touch with banking
machinery, who know too little
about financial operations, and
whose cases usually do not re-
ceive the affirmative attention
and sympathy Of the banker.
Such farmers would be much
benefited by membership in CO.
operative credit associations or
unions. David F. Houston,
Secretary of Agriculture.
