prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Egg production doubtless is the
leading branch Of poultry keeping,
and, in addition, Is very important
agricultural activity. According to the
last census the eggs produced in the
United States in 1909 numbered more
than 1851. 100000 dozens, with a
value of more than $3O6, 1000, 600. Eggs,
Of course, are produced wherever
chickens are kept, and by far the
greater part of the egg crop comes
from the general farm, yet large So
called egg farms have been developed
with the main purpose Of producing
eggs for market. The largest Of these
egg farms and the greater number of
them are located near markets which
pay premium for white eggs; and
for this reason, together with the fact
that eggs are primarily desired, the
breeds kept are those known as the
Sioux County pioneer. (Fort Yates, Sioux County, N.D.) 1914-1929, 1919-09-11

Many turkeys are raised in Texas.
as well as a considerable number in
Mississippi and Alabama and in west
ern Florida. AS a general proposition
these birds are raised in small focks
on general farms, where plenty of
range is available. Under such condi-
lions they usually yield a profitable
income. Not many ducks are raised
in the South, but considerable interest
is displayed In geese production, while
guineas also are raised on many farms.
Guinea eggs are used on the home
table, as well as being marketed, but
as rule the guineas are allowed to
run wild and are not produced on any
scale for market purposes.

Establishing Banking Connections.
The board Of directors appoints q
bank committee to select some local
banking institution through which the
union does its business. The credit
union is accorded treatment similar to
that which one bank gives another. As
a rule 1t receives 4 per cent interest
upon time deposits and per cent on
monthly balances, while it borrows
from the bank at s per cent interest.
The business of the organization is
formally begun at a fourth meeting at
which time each member buys one or
/ more shares of stock at $40 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 minimum of expense since
most Of the overhead expenses of a
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

One Of the greatest needs Of farm
ers in the United States is short-time
personal credit on reasonable terms.
The 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, imple-
ments, or other equipment. The need
for short-time personal credit is shown
as result Of an investigation by the
United States department Of agricul-
ture in the Southern states, where it
was found go per cent of the farmers
depend upon advances from merchants
during the crop-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 hum
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 Help 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 SO 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 IL
North Carolina, where 18 strictly
farmers organizations are now in op
Grafton, should be of interest. In Nortt
