second Report to Congress Deals
Banking and Financial Resources
of Country Especially as At.
fecting Farm Interests.

snington-Criticism of the Fed
eral Reserve boards policy during the
months following the Armistice is
coupled with recommendations that
existing banking agencies be adapted
to meet the credit requirements of
farmers, in report submitted to Con.
gress by the joint commission of agri
cultural inquiry.
The report, the second of series
from the commission of which Rep
resentative Anderson, Republican, of
Minnesota, is chairman, deals with
banking and financial resources of the
country, especially as affecting agri-
cultural interests. 1t stresses the
Importance of filling the gap between
snort and long time credit, and con-
cludes that the "present' gap can
be "effectively and safely bridged"
without the necessity of "establishing
any new or untried machinery and
without sacrificing any of the funda-
mental principles on which both the
Farm Loan system and the Federal
RESERVE system must rest"
"CouId Have Avoided EXPANSION"
Reviewing conditions that have con.
fronted farmers since the war, the
report declares:
1T is the opinion of the commission
that a policy of restriction of loans
and discounts by advances in the
discount rates of the Federal Re.
serve banks could and should have
been adopted in the early part of
1919, Notwithstanding the difficulty

mission that had this policy been
adopted in the early part of 1919,
much of the expansion, speculation
and extravaganza which character
lied the post war period could have
been avoided.
THE commission also believes that
had such policy been adopted in
1919 the difficulties, hardships and
losses which occurred in 192O-21 as a
result of the process of deflation and
liquidation would have been dimin.

Farm Explosives

Half carload of picric acid explo-
sive can be had by Cook county farm
ers for land clearing purposes, ac-
cording to information recently re-
ceived by the Farm Bureau Office
from the Land Clearing Division of
the State University.
The explosive is war salvaged ma
terial and is sold by the u. S. Gov
ernment to farmers for land clear
ing only at the cost of cartridging,
7c per pound. 1t is put up in 1C1
pound boxes only, in cartridges SIM
liar to dynamite form but weighing
six ounces per stick. Stick for stick
it is about equal to 40 per cent dy-
Mantle in strength.
Forty-six hundred pounds of this
explosive were bought by Cook coun-
ty farmers last fall and all reports
from users show that the results
were very satisfactory
The supply now available is locat-
ed at Fort Wingate, New Mevjco.
The freight rate from hat point to
Duluth has been obtained from the
railroad companies and added to the
rate from Duluth to Grand Mara;s.
The total rate amounts to $6.8 Per
100 pound box, including weight Of
box and wrappings. That means that
the explosive can be laid down in
Grand Marais for $13.85 per box. At
this price the explosive is much
lower in cost than dynamite of
equal strength.
1t should be noted that not less
than one nor more than five boxes
may be sold to one farmer. Any far
mer wanting less than a box, can,
of course, share a box with one or
more other farmers.
For further information see or
write to the county agent.

THE RIGHT THING
at the
RIGHT TIME
BINARY MARSHALL DUFFEE
OCEAN ETIQUETTE.

Geass breathing is the result Of much
Sgoosss Chestesas =. s~pr~
TT is so many months since Amerf-
cans have taken trips for pleasure
that we must brush up a little on
the question of the etiquette of ocean
travel. War workers and the men in
the expeditionary forces were trans
ported under such very different cir
cumstances from those Of pleasure
travel that as far as the small points
of manners 60 it was an entirely
different proposition.
Under ordinary circumstances the
woman ocean voyager has good many
letters to write during the first few
hours of her voyage because it is
considered only courteous for her to
send off little notes of thanks to those
who have sent flowers, books or other
presents, by the mail that is taken
off with the ships pilot. However,
these letters need not be long, as
surely no one would expect you to
miss all the pleasure of being on deck
during the first of your voyage in
order that you might dwell at great
length on your appreciation Of their
generosity.
The question is sometimes asked
whether it Is in good form to use the
stationery such as is provided by the
ocean lines, or whether it is not better
to use ones own stationery. Good
form seems to sanction the use Of. the
ships stationery, and it is surely more
interesting to those who received let
ters to have them on this paper.
Suppose you know no one on ship
board. Must you therefore keep to
yourself because there is no way for
you to have introductions to the
other passengers? Certainly not. It
Is quite good form for you to begin
with a courteous good morning ad-
dressed to those whom you meet at
table or whom you pass every day
on deck. At least by the second or
third day out you would naturally
start a conversation with the person
seated next to you on deck and to
resent any such friendliness ON the
part of others would indeed be- un-
kind. # for any reason you wish to-
be left entirely to yourself you should
make special request that your
steamer chair be placed in an isolated
part Of the deck. ..s@<sst,. =. = !. E
It will then become apparent that
you do not wish to mingle with the
others and you will have no trouble
II keeping By yourself. But by far the
most agreeable thing is to accept the
friendly advances Of persons whom you
meet and Il they appear congenial
there Is no reason why you should
not let the friendship progress quite
