Farm Bureau Notes
By Sam Jordan
Begin Now

We mean by this to begin get
ting your show corn ready for
the coming roundup. There are
going &c be some good premiums
offered and it is going to take
some good work to win the best
ones. Charlton county brings
back two prizes from the Inter-
national Farm Congress yet, this
county has corn that is good
enough to have won every prize
offered. The whole trouble was
that We didn't begin soon enough
consequently. did not have time
to gather enough corn in which
ten ears were good enough to
win in a high class show. A
few years ago a fellJw might
step out into the corn field be-
fore breakfast and find ten ears
that might win, however, we are
far beyond that stage in the
corn game now.
In the roundup some good
premiums will be offered in the
open to- the-World class. The
greater part of the premium list
will be confined to Charlton coun-
ty only. Of course. somebody in
Charlton county will win the
prizes but we see no reason with
our great corn crop that we have
this time why Charlton county
should not win practically the
whole show. 1t is for this rea-
son that we urge you to begin
gathering fine seed ears now and
by the time the show is here you
should not only have some fine
show corn but a big lot of the
very best seed. We are sure
that the time spent on this work
will pay you from the seed view
point alone.
We are expecting to advertise
this matter very thoroughly and
it will be unfortunate for Chari-
ton county with our enormods
corn crop to not make a big
, showing or to lei outsiders come
in and carry off the prizes. We
are endeavoring also to get ready
, to have some live stock exhibits
and while all of this stuff will be
judged and placed in the list we
do not have cash premiums to
pay. This is a matter of good
advertising and county pride
and we feel sure that Charlton
county farmers will not fail to
do their level best in these mat
. ters.
Short Course In Agricultural
And Home Economics
This course begins at Colum-
bia October q. This course
gives an exceptional opportunity
for young people to get some of
the best possible information
within a very short time and at
very small expense. We will
be glad to supply what informa-
! tion we have to any persons who
: might be interested.
The Wheat Situation
About the first of September
we sent out a letter TO the bureau
|: membership setting forth the
world wheat situation ? nd carry :
ing the idea that every thing
pointed to splendid results to the
man who sows wheat this fall.
Further reports and articles from
men in close touch with the stu
alton that we have received since
then confirm our opinions more
than ever tnst our first positions
was well founded. While it is
getting a little late that the man
who has the opportunity will
not go wrong by putting out as
} large an acreage as he can.

much more money. The provincial
government has of itself appropriate
ed $2,000,000 to be loaned to muni-
cipalities on condition that the latter
raise one-fourth of the principal
sum desired.
This means that the province will
have approximately $4,000 of Its
own money to loan to municipalities
and thereby, perhaps, leave much
larger margin of the Federal loan
to be extended to farmers.
Each individual loan will consti.
tute lien upon the property, to bt
repaid in a maximum period ol
twenty years with interest at five pei
cent. All or any part of the principa
may be repaid at any time the indi
J vidual desires.
