JESS WILLARD IS
NOT ADVOCATE OF
SEVERE ROAD WORK
Champion Says Toledo Will See
His Real Training; Present
Workouts Are Merely Mild
Exercise.

Los Angeles, Cal, May 10-Jess
Willard hasn't started his real train
ing for the Dempsey fight, all reports
to the contrary, Notwithstanding.
Jess made that unqualified declara-
ton here today.
Toledo will see my real training
quarters" he declared land there is
nothing to reports that he would train
in Chicago or Cleveland. This Is just
preliminary training that I'm doing
here" he went on. IT'S just light gym
work as l might do to keep myself in
shape any time when l expected to
fight in the near future"
That means it will probably be a
month before Willard begins real
work. He estimates 1t will take three
weeks to complete the filming of a
wild West" movie which brought him
here. Then he will go to Toledo and
get down to work.
Just what Wizards actual program
here is no one knows. He has three
sparring partners with him, but it Is
understood he doesn't work out with
them every day. The last several days
he has spent "out in the wilds,' far
from any gymnasium. Road work is
off the program
Road work isn't to my liking Will
lard declared.
ut saps my pep and 1t doesn't do me
much good"

Washington, May 10-Govern-

day-its second anniversary, 70.
veal that moro than $4,000 farmers
have borrowed from the board to
buy or develop agricultural lands.
Texas leads all states in amount
borrowed. Farmers there have taken
loans totaling s22,52i 900, the figures
show. Middle western states rank
next.
SPOKANE BANK LEADS.
Iowa is second with $14,3S5, 900;
North Dakota third with $14,OS6, 900
and Kansas fourth with s9007,OO in
loans.
While the Pacific coast has no
single state ranking high in loans,
the west coast leads by districts.
The Spokane land bank has made
loans aggregating more than $780,
100000. Detailed reports show
that the money has been used in
the development of small tracts,
such as fruit and berry farms.
The Omaha district is second in
loans, having supplied more than
$29,000,000 to the farmers of that
section.
The st. Paul bank has loaned s2S,-

Relative to the condition of the farm
foam system, an official statement by
the board said:
DEFICIT SMALLER.
with a growing volume on their
books, the operations of the banks have
proved increasingly profitable. One
year ago, their combined organization
and current expenses showed an ex-
ces Of $411,954, over the earnings. Sin
months ago this deficit had been re-
duced to $211,609. The present condi-
tion shows a surplus Of $420,361 OF
which $4,000 has been credited to the
reserve fund, s63,7s4 has been distri-
buted in dividends by the Spokane and
Houston banks and s321,613 still is
carried as undivided profits.
1t would therefore, appear that
their earnings were $100,345, in the
first half Of the year and s631,390 ir
the last half.
"The capital has grown from
100000 to $19,433,O0o. BY the
end Of the present month, the
banks will have returned $626,32
of the 1891 ,270 originally sub
scrbed by the government to their
capital stock"

A PAINT UP DAY

An interesting example Of com
munity spirit is being given by
scme Of the agricultural societies,
m holding Paint Up Days, 10 paint
fair buildings. The paint problem
has been getting very serious,
since materials and labor went so
high. Many cattle shows have been
helped into bankruptcy by their
paint and clean up bill.
Some progressive societies as
semble as many as 900 farmers and
business men for a day, for painting
and cleaning and repairing the as
sociatlon's property. Any kind of
organization that shows that spirit
t. Is bound TO be big factor in the
progress of its locality. Our good
friend, Mr.. +. II. Goudy, superin-
tendent of the Berea College Paint
shop, has been doing his part TO
encourage painting. by giving a
demonstration in that line before
the agricultural class recently,
which was both interesting and in
structive. Mr.. Goudy is an expert
painter and will be glad 10 offer
suggestions TO anyone interested in
painting.

SOME FARMERS
QUESTION VALUE
OF THE 0AT CROP
LOW YIELD THIS YEAR NO IN
= DICATION. AVERAGE OF
YEARS MUST BE TAKEN

AS result of the unusually light
Michigan oat crop this year, the low
est since 1907. according to u. S. De-
partment Of Agriculture estimates
many farmers Of the state are ques-
tioning the value of oats as crop
The yield this year in Michigan is
reported as 24.3 bushels per acre
During only two other years of the
last fifty has the crop been reported
this low in the state and the average
is far above this years yield.
MANY farmers who are keeping
cost of production figures will un-
doubtedly figure this years crop as
loss, says C. III. Graves, farm
management specialist at the Michi-
gan Agricultural College, at lansing
at is mistake, however, for them
to condemn oats as a crop for this
reason. In making cost of produc-
ton studies the farmer must eithes
consider rotation for single year
or else consider any single crop in
the light of yields for several years.
"Oats, when averaged over any ten
year period Of the last fifty years,
are found to be a profitable crop in
Michigan, and no farmer should con-
denim them on the strength of this
years showing. Farming, unlike
other industries, cannot be figured on
the basis of single season. The pres
ence Of an uncomfortable factor, the
weather, demands q period that will
show averages"

FARM YARD PAYS

East Lansing, Oct. 20-That the
sale price Of farms is usually raised
enough by landscape gardening
around the house to pay for the cost
many times over is the opinion ex-
pressed by I. T. Pickford, Extension
Specialist in Horticulture at M. A. c.
In response to inquiries from var
ious parts Of the state in regard to
effective landscape work for the farm
home, Mr.. Pickford is planning DEM
onstration work for several counties.
The planting Of public highways will
be taken up at the same time, with
the idea of beautifying Michigan
roads. Nurseries Of the state are
cooperating in the work by agreeing
to furnish trees and shrubs.
