Why Farmers Need Money.

"Up TO the time of the passage of the
farm loan act, the system of farm cred
its in operation in this country was ex'
ceedingly cumbersome. 1t was so cum
bersome that 1t could not furnish the
kind of service the farmer required, at
any price. That Is, it could not furnish
loans on the long term amortization
plan. Also the entire field of farm
credits was without anything more
than the most primitive (and therefore
futile) regulation as to rates OF inter-

est and commission charges Agri-
culture was rapidly deterOrating,
the number of farmers engaged in
tilling the soil was decreasing, the
number of acres actually under cul-
tivation VAS decreasing, the out
put per acre was actually decreas-
ing and the food supply of the nation
was decreasing Hs was also our con-
tribution to the worlds food supply.
Wants His Right, Not Favor. %
After an exhaustive study Of the
needs of the country and after an"
other exhaustive study OF the credit
system of European countries, con-
gress decided to adequately finance
agriculture as great underlying in
dustry essential to the life OF the
nation. Congress did not c0ntem-
plate any petty remedies. 1t did not
contemplate charity for the small
farmers. 1t did not contemplate spe-
clal privilege for the big farmers But
congress did contemplate establishing
a practical system of rural credits by
which the farmer would be enabled TO
secure rs right-n0t as fay0r-ade-
uuate funds at reasonable rates. And
congress did this, assuming that the
general welfare demanded that we
look 10 the future and make provision
for a continued food supply for the
nation. .,,
Keeping Country Boy on Farm.
"Thc intent of congress 10 passing
the federal farm loan act was not 10
bring the city boy back to the country,
as some seem TO think, because the
congress. having In its membership a
goodly number Of men who sprang
from the farm, was fully aware that IL
was folly TO expect the city man TO
succeed In the country, Rather 1t was
the intent of congress to keep the
country hoy on the farm by making
farming sufficiently profitable to be at-
tractiye TO an ambitious man Of brains,
energy and vision. | mention this be-
cause some people seem to feel
hat the millennium will come the
moment we can get the city boy headed
for the farm. Farmers, however know
better. They know that the success
full, efficient farmer must be made
from the country-raised boy. And all
know that there will be enough farm
ers, when farming is made profitable
and country life is made attractive.
Neither can be accomplished unless
adequate farm credit can be had all
the time and on reasonable terms"

SMASHING A THEORY

For years thu;e Ids been a popular
theory among cartoonists, joke writ
ers, funny men on the stage and
others that crooks confidence workers
find their richest hauls in the rural
districts. Possibly there was time
when that was true, but not now,
And. frankly, we doubt if the rural
district citizen ever was as "easy" as
some Of the iokesters try to have US
believe.
To the contrary, it is noticeable
that in almost every instance now IL
which someone is roped in by conf
dence men and fake promoters it i;
usually :. resident c. city. Possibly
ninety per cent of the fake stock now
being floated is sold in the larger
cities and very little of it is grabbed
up by residents CT rural districts oil
in towns like Tallulah. The reason is
largely, that we are not so quick Il
gamble on an uncertainty as the cit,
man who sees so much of it going or
all around him.
So far as gullibility is concerned
humanity is much the same every
where we find it, and city folks are a.
easily taken in" by get-rich-quic!
schemes, usually more so, than thos'
on the farms. You never hear of tn,
gold-brick game being worked an.
more, bat you do find thousands be
ing taken in on fake stock, or the Di,
city papers wouldn't be carrying pag,
after page Of ads exploiting it. W,
point to the Ponzi case in Boston, i
evidence is needed of the cas-.
manner in which city residents ma,
be buncoed. No, the old theory tina
rural residents are "easy" won't hol'
good any more. So the joke writer
and funny men are changing thei
material accordingly.

OF INTEREST TO HUNTERS

The Journal mas heard complain
from scne of the planters Of the par
ish relative to hunters--mostly deer
Undertaking fence, and thereby
letting the planters cattle get ou'
We know these planters who MAKE
this complaint, and they have al"GES
welcomed hunters to their PAGES, and
we are surprised that they should
have reason to complain. The planters
spoke to Us about putting trespasS
notice in the paper prohibiting hunt
ing on their places, saying at the
time that they did not want TO do
30. but that it seemed that 1t was
necessity. We told them we thought
we had a better remedy than that
especially since they did no object
TO the hunting, but only to the cut
ting of the fences, for a notice OF
this kind may cause someone 70 cut
the fences through malice.
Therefore, we are going to appeal
to the real sportsmen among the
hunters to not only refrain from GU
ting fences themselves, if they have
been doing so, but to prevent IRE
sponsible hunters who might cut th'
fapoes OF course. if hunters are go
ing to destroy the fences, which ar
expensive, they can expect in shor
time to see ell the land around Tai
lulah posted, and they will be pro
hibited from hunting as well as cut
ting fences. .:."%'s'''
This matter should be watched yer
closely by all who go on a drive. q
it is to their interest even more S
than it is to the interest Of the perso
to whom he property belongs.

PESSiMISM IN PRINT

There is to much pessimiSm in orr
newspapers and magazines of today,
too much of tendency TO magnify
the condition of war-torn countries
and the woes OF those in foreign lands
who are possibly underfed. The aim
of many writers seems TO be to fill
columns with pretty words about our
duty to those abroad, and to criticise
the American people because they are
not doing more along the line Of
relief.
Reading the daily papers reaching
Tallulah and believing every thing he
reads, the average man would soon
reach the conclusion that we are a
selfish, arrogant nation. and incapable
of interpreting the Golden Rule inso-
far as it may be applied among ma
tions. And this is directly the opposite
to our natures. America is going to
do all in her power to help her sister
nations, and she is going to send food
to the starving and clothes to the
shivering Just as she has always done
But America Is not going to neglect
her own poor in doing 50, and neither
10 she going to set about helping some
one else straighten mp their house
when her own is in more or less dis
order.
What we need more Of now in GU.
daily papers is clean, helpful con-
structive thought, tie kind that will
inspire Us to better work, instead OF
criticism and over-drawn pictures Of
suffering and remorso. And the soon
er some writer's learn this the better
Il win be for this eorrsry, re vel as
thcse who expect our ak.

4 GOOD THE TO BUY

There is TO reasonable doubt that,
GENERALLY speaking, the shrewd Tallu-
IN bier will 30 we'll to take advant-
age Of Erezcat prices. Newspapers
everywhere are cr-wdcd with offers
Of real bargains, and the dollar goes
further today in purchasing necessi-
ties. and many Injuries, than at any
time gincet the world-war started. How
long this condition Of thing may con-
tirue is a problem and, therefore, 1t
is advisable for people intending to
make purchases to make them before
TIE tide turns ard prices take another
upward swing, as it is quite possible
they may do with the conditions CT
production as they are.
To unduly delay purchasing, to hold
back in expectation of a still greater
decline, tends to render more serious
the present situation and to lesser
production in many lines. While IL
some instances there may be sur
plus of goods on the shelves OF retail
ers, generally speaking production ha
long way to go before it makes u
for the losses we sustained in pro
duction during the war.
We are all in the same boat to
gether and IN order to keep the wheel
of industry turning and labor we

GET BOTH SIDES

We don't want to discredit the boys
and girls of Tallulah but we believe
their parents would do we'll to remem-
Der in listening to their versions OF
what happened at school that there
are two sides to every question. Very
often the tender heart is susceptible
to jealousy and quite often, too, the
youthful mind is rot capable Of plac-
ing the proper construction upon the
statements Of older people. The pupil
iinmagnes the teacher is making a
pet" of another pupil, and is quick to
magnify the matter when relating the
school-room occurrences to his or her
parents.
If you know anything about chill
dren you know it is hard to find two
of the same disposition. For that rea-
son it is difficult thing for the
teacher to please twenty, or fifty OF
even more when TO two of them are
alike in temperament. Some of them
are going to see things IN a different
light than the others, and those VINO
have a tendency to become displeased
when everything does not go theil
way are usually the ones who return
LONE with story that is apt to put
the teacher in the wrong light.
If you know how difficult it is t
train one child properly then you car
get a pretty good idea of what th'
teacher has on hand to train tiocl
of them. For that reason you Wi!
take any wild story brought homt
from the school room with a grain Of
salt. In other words, you will eitheI
fail to give it serious consideration OF
If you do consider it, you'll be homes
enough to recall that there are alway
two sides to every story.
