Up to June I, $223,311,766 had
been loaned to 81, ,el6 farmers by
the Federal Land Banks estab-
llshed under the Farm Loan act.
The number of loans made dur
ing May was 1888, amounting to
$11, ,342, ,S55. During May, 62O4
loan applications we're received,
asking for s20,O54, ,72O, while the
number approved was 5944,
amounting to 17,60S,OSO.
All of these loans are long
term, at low rates of interest,
which the farmers were not able
to get prior to the establishment
Of the Land Banks. These banks
have all the money the farmers
may need, and will loan it on
Powell county land any time
they organize an association of
ten or more farmers and can Dor.
row in the aggregate $40, 900.

Though Small in Stature

The Times, though small IN
stature, compares most favorably
as a local sheet, with any other
Eastern Kentucky paper. In
fact by actual comparison and
measurement none of them ex-
celled this paper in the amount
of local reading matter carried
last week, when The Times had
1876 inches of actual local reading
matter. There were 109 articles
printed, every one of which was
of interest to our readers. Pos
sibly all articles were not of spe-
cial interest to all of our readers
but one or more of these articles
did interest all of our readers,
and they are free to tell us so.
What we aim to do is to keep
our readers posted on current
local events at all times, and to
utilize every inch of space to the
very best advantage. We see no
use of printing huge sheet when
the smaller one is sufficient to
print the local news, though we
feel the pressing need for little
larger sheet at times. The daily
papers and city weeklies supply
the general news. That's their
mission. Ours is to print the
local news.

Work on the Brush Creek con.
crete bridge is in progress and
will be pushed to completion.
This is one of the permanent
features Of state aid roads. Moth
ing is done by halves. True
enough the cost will be much
more, but the road is worth much
more, when completed. Work on
the road is temporarily held up
on account of change in location
of the road along by Mr.. T. b.
Wares. The more recent survey
goes back of his house, whereas,
the old road and the old survey
went in front of his house. The
change was made on account of
the latter survey being so much
better location, and the cost of
construction so much less. Soon
as the question of right.o way
can be adjusted with Mr.. Ware
work will be resumed in earnest.

farm organizations has greatly In
creased, and the tendency at present
is toward the formation of smaller CO
operative units and the purchase of
small outfits. This comes from the me-
cessity for more economical use of
labor and the advent Of the farm trac-
tor, the power of which can be well
utilized to run small thrasher,
which, complete with a wind stacker,
self-feeder and weigher, costs about
$1,000. Most Of the farmers clubs are
small, so that all members may get
their thrashing finished in about flf.
teen days. All thrashing is completed
in seasonable time, so that the grain
may be saved to best advantage.
There are two general methods of
ring cooperation, the most common in
volving the hiring Of thrashing out
tit, the other it's purchase.
Thrashing rings are beneficial mas
much as the thrashing calendar In a
neighborhood may be so arranged that
the work can be carried out with the
least possible loss of time in moving
from farm to farm. AS a Job nears
completion the first men through.
knowing their assignments in the next
place, may so there Immediately and
have the grain ready to thrash by the
time the outfit arrives and is set up.
No time is lost either in contracting
for an outfit or in securing thrash
ing crew. Certain men may be used
to best advantage by assigning them
to one kind Of work for the season.
Unless the weather man prevents
thrashing continues until all the Jobs
are completed in the circle, and thus
little extra work is required in shift
Ing wagon boxes or hay leaders. Usu-
ally the thrashing season is greatly
shortened and this favors the timely
completion of the subsequent fall
work, such as blowing, seeding. dis
tributing manure, and so on. The
thrashing ring reduces the work Of the
housewife, as there are less men to
feed during the harvest season.
When a ring buys oil the machinery
new-separator, power, clover huller,
and possibly grain shelter or 81
lage cutter-and builds shed to house
the implements, the total capital under
prewar prices required usually
amounts to $1,000 or $4,000. Whensit
is possible for the company to hire a
good engine or some other part of the
equipment, it may not be advisable to
buy.
Thrashing for the various members
OF the ring Is performed on business
basis. an average days work being re-
garded as 1000 bushels of oats, or
about 1000 bushels of wheat or rye.
Record is kept Of the time put in by
each laborer and the costs Of the work
are distributed among the members
on the basis of the amount Of grain
thrashed. Farmers interested In the
organization and promotion of thrash
ing rings may obtain copies of the pub
lication describing them by writing to

culture. Washington. d. c.
