CERTIFICATES
TO OTHER MEN
TO SECURE LOANS
These Certificates Would
Enable the Latter Classi-
fication to Borrow Money
Up to so Per Cent of
Their Adjusted .Compen-
satiOn

Washington, d. G., March 2.-Unan
nous agreement to eliminate the cas-
feature of the soldiers bonus except i
the case of men whose adjusted servic
pay would not exceed $50, was report
ed to-day by the special sub-commit
tee Of Republican members OF tn
House ways and means committee, +
which the whole bonus question wa
referred yesterday.
In lieu Of cash for the other servic
men, it was agreed to add new pro
vision to the bonus bill under whicl
the men accepting adjusted service Ger
tifcates could borrow Immediately oil
those certificates from banks sun
equal to so per cent of the total ad
/justed service pay. computed at th'
rate of 81 day for domestic service
and sl.25 day for foreign service.
Chairman Fordney said this plan
was expected to meet with general ap-
proval since 1t enabled the soldiers who
may be In need to obtain cash imme-
diately after the issuance of the GER
tificates; would relieve the treasury of
any large cash payment during the
enormous refunding operations which
must be carried out in the next two
years, and would place no additional
tax burden upon the public.
Many details of the proposed amend
ment to the bonus bill remain TO be
worked out and Mr.. Fordney said it
probably would be week before the
plan was ready for submission to the
entire Republican membership of the
committee. He declared that there
would be provisions safeguarding the
rights of the holders of the certificates
and limiting the amount of interest
which the banks could charge for the
loans.
Governor Harding Of the federal re-
serve board, was before the sub-com-
mittee to-day discussing the interest
and other questions. 1t was suggested
that the interest rate should not ex-
eeed figure greater than two per cent
above the re-discounting rate of the re-
gional reserve banks.

being considered the title to the GER
tificates could not be disposed Of by
the service men. The loans could be
made only by national or state banks
and trust companies, the idea being.
Mr.. Fordney explained to prevent the
certificates falling into the hands of
loan sharks.
If the loans advanced by the banks
were not paid by the service men on
Oct. ], 1925, the banks could make de-
mand upon the treasury for the
amount due by the service men plus
interest at what would be made the
legal rate in the law.
Before obtaining any money from the
treasury. the banks would have to sub
init affidsvits that they had not
charged more than the legal rate of
interest. Where a greater charge was
made penalties would be provided.
II was explained that the $50 cash
payment was retained in the bill be-
cause the men entitled to only this !
amount undoubtedly would prefer the |
cash to a 20-year certificate. II was
estimated that the cost to the treasury
in paving this amount would be around |
sl6,000.00o.

Flies from the stubble emerge In Sep
TENDER and place their eggs on any
volunteer or other wheat IN the vicina,
ity. Late planting and the use of fields
that are known to be free from the
flies are precautions that can be used
later in the season.
THE flaxseed stage of the flies,
which appears as n smooth, shining,
red-brown, seed-like object is left in
the stubble when the wheat is cut. 1t
remains in this condition until the
latter part of July when some adults
come out, most of them, however, re-
naming idle until August and Sep
TENDER when they emerge in some
numbers about the time the new crop
of wheat comes up. The eggs soon are
placed ON the upper side of the wheat
blades after which the flies die. The
minute grubs which hatch creep down
the blades to where these join the
stems and crowd in behind them next
the stems. They rasp the delicate tiss-
sues of the plant until these are weak
ened and in many cases kill both the
stems and the blade.
THE insects are known to pass the
winter in the flaxseed stage and to
produce a spring brood which becomes
the flaxseed stage before wheat is har-
vested. This spring brood is difficult
to destroy when in an active state,
hence deep summer blowing and latet
fall sowing constitute the chief means
Of the fnrmer in controlling the fly."
