ri. w. Moorehouse, of the Amer

new credit arrangement must be
adopted Immediately II We are to
prevent wholesale bankruptcy of
mid-western farmers on March 1.
A great part of these loans are In
the form OF five year mortgages and
were taken out during the early days
OF the war in order to make possible
the necessary expansion to meet in
creased food requirements for the
armies.
Present Farm Loan
Limits Big Operations
In discussing the present credit
system, Mr.. Moorehouse's report
shows that the Federal Farm Loan
System has served very effectively in
financing small land farmers. Fed
eral Land Banks at present can loan
but $4,000 to one person. This
limitation bars farmers operating
the most economical farm units in the
greatest food producing areas in the
United States. The Federal Farm
Loan Act does not limit the amount
OF loan that can be made by the Joint
Land Banks, but Federal Farm Loan
| Board has imposed the limitation of
$4,000.
The Federal Farm Loan system
provides for loans on farm land for
maximum period of forty years and
FOR the payment OF the loan on the
installment basis spread over the en-
tire loan period. The initial stock
OF the twelve Federal Land Banks
was supplied in the first instance by
the United States Government, but
has gradually been purchased by the
borrowers from the banks until the
amount of stock owned by the Gov
ernment is about one-eighth or
$4,OOO,000 out of $32,OOO,OOO."
Saving of 25 Per Cent on
Annual Interest Payments
Mr.. Moorehouse emphasizes the
necessity for passing legislation
which will remove the $4,000 loan
limit from the Federal Farm Loan
Banks. with the removal of this
limit farmers can make their loans
through this agency and will be able
to re-fnance their business. On =
total Indebtedness of $4,000. 900. 900
the farmers are paying an average
yearly interest of TX per cent. They
are paying in interest 100000
year. With the $4,000 loan limit
removed from Federal Land Banks
and farmer loans transferred to this
agency there would be saving in
interest rates alone of over $780,
100000 year.

n [ANY Of the mysteries of "spon-
NH taneous combustion" have been
cleared up by the advance OF
science. There was time when the fact
that a heap Of coal can take fire OF its
own accord, so to speak, was regarded as
almost miraculous.
After many serious accidents Of this
kind had occurred, involving not infre-
uuently the loss of vessels at sea, an ex-
PLANTATION was suggested to the effect that
the fire was caused by the oxidation of
the pyrites of iron and sulphur, which
are often found in coal, and which are
popularity called in England coal
brasses' When the pyrites are exposed
to moisture a rapid chemical change
occurs in them, accompanied by the pro-
duction Of heat. But It was afterward
shown that many Goals liable to spon-
taneous ignition when collected in I'M
mense heaps possessed such slight traces
of pyrites that their presence could not
be regarded as the cause of the ignition.
A more careful study Of the phenom-
enon, based upon a consideration Of the
nature and structure of the coal itself,
led to the theory which prevails today
This is that the oxidation of the coal. and
not Of the pyrites, is the real source Of
the disastrous fires which occasionally
break out in the holds of ships laden with
coal and in the vast heaps contained in
coal yards.
Coal possesses a surprising power Of
absorbing oxygen. Some kinds of coal
will rapidly absorb two or three times
their own volume of oxygen when exposed
to the air. Bituminous Goals in particular
always contain considerable amount Of
hydrogen, forming a volatile compound
with the carbon.
When oxygen is absorbed from the air
it begins to combine with both the carbon
and the hydrogen, and this chemical ac-
tion produces heat. The heat in turn
quickens the chemical action. and II. in
addition, the coal in which this action is
going on Is heaped together in large
mass. the heat quickly accumulates be-
cause II cannot readily escape, coal being
q slow and poor conductor.

Science Explains Mystery Of
Spontaneous Combustion =

The smaller the pieces Of coal the
greater the danger, because small piece
has in proportion to its mass larger
surface area exposed to the air, and con-
sequently to the absorption Of oxygen,
than a large piece; and when small pieces
are heaped together they form a porous
mass which may be thoroughly per-
meated by oxygen from the atmosphere.
The presence OF moisture also accel-
crates the chemical action OF the oxygen
in the coal so that the temperature Of
wet coal rises faster than that Of dry
coal In the process of loading ships
with coal a serious danger Is often in
-vited by pouring the coal into the hold
from a considerable height by means OF
chutes. The coal at the bottom thus gets
broken smaller and smaller, until It is
in a fit state for combustion to be set up.
No doubt the mysterious loss of many
ships is to be explained by spontaneous
ignition OF the coal that they carried.
