The Farm and The Farmer

The very frequent rains have upset
the shredding schedules and put back
the work until it is almost month
late. We were talking to farmer, on
Monday, who said that he had already
laid in supplies for a special dinner
for a hungry bunch of shredders on
three different dates and that his
shredding still awaits dryer weather
We have learned of two shredding
rings in Wayne which still have nine
shredding jobs ahead and which
would have been cleared up weeks ago,

European authorities are somewhat

dealers are asking: How much wheat
will Japan, China and other Asiatic
countries need?" The amounts pur-
chased so far are in excess of Europe

bodies and spectators agree in this,
so much so that this belief comes
pretty nearly being unanimous.
How Loans Should Be Made.
In order that the greatest good be
derived from loans on grain they must
be made direct to farmers or to coun-
try banks, says one student of the sit
uation. This is probably correct The
money must be applied where the
farmer can get the quickest relief and
most direct benefit, without a lot of
red tape or holdups in any form. This
is, of course, the idea of the war fl
nance corporation and explains the
billion dollar appropriation for just
that kind of relief in the agricultural
field, including exports
