INDIANA And Ohio
FARMERS GET LOANS
FROM FEDERAL BANK


LOUISVILLE, Ky, Jan. 30.-The
Federal Land bank of Louisville is
lending money to farmers of Ken
lucky, Ohio, Indiana and Tennessee at
the rate of 100000 to 100000 a
month, Walter Howell, president, said
today. The bank hopes to lend be-
tween $15.O00,009 and $2o,000,000 dur
ing 1922, he said.
The bank now has in force 10,77S
loans to actual farmers. aggregating
S36,274,700, according to the annual re-
port, just made public. A total Of Asa
Of these loans were made during De
cember and 2,437 from May l to Dec.
81. Indiana, with more than IA mil
lion dollars, leads in the amount bor-
rowed. Ohio is the lowest, with four
million dollars. The mortgage loans
S9,579,300 to Tennessee, $S,409,2OO to
Kentucky and S4,016,600 TO Ohio.
Losses Spread Out.
interpreting the interest farmers are
taking in the loans, Mr.. Howell said
it indicated a desire on their part to
shoulder their losses Of the last two
years but 10 spread them over a long
period OF years. The release of the
banks money has enabled the country
bank TO liQuidate frozen credits, he
said, thus giving the little bank money
for other purposes.
As an Indication of the value the
farmers hold for the bank, Mr. Howell
showed by the annual report for 1921
that the bank has not one past due
amortization or interest payment. In
= It's monthly report to the Federal
Farm Loan board, Washington, it has
had TO report only one delinquent pay
ment in 81 months, and since its or
ganization in March, 1917. but five de
linquent amortization payments have
been reported. These amounted to a
total OF $507.

takes pound of good country butter
to buy box of axle grease: a bushel
OF oats to buy a cup of coffee; a bushel
OF corn to pay for a plate of corn
cakes; , bushels of corn to buy a
pound of good breakfast bacon: 40
bushels of corn to buy a pair of shoes
bushel of corn to buy a cheap pair
of cotton socks; 120 bushels of corn to
buy hand-me-down suit of clothes !;
165 bushels of corn to buy an overcoat
and so to 100 bushels of corn to get a
woman's hat.
The Other Viewpoint
The writer concludes by stating that
untll freight rates come down and
prices in general are lowered, while
1arm commodity prices are advanced,
we can not look for good" times.
The point We are making is this ::
When shoes and clothing cost the
high prices indicated in the statements
given, grain and live stock were bring
ing much more than present prices.
And while there are points in the west
ern edge of the corn belt where corn
Is still selling at ruinously low prices,
owing to local conditions and distance
from market, it is a fact that feeders
can not buy bushel of corn at an
Indiana farm sale as low as 40 cents.
Admittedly corn is cheap and oats are
relatively cheaper, but in this section
corn is bringing well up toward 60
cents at the average farm sale right
now, it being rarely that it isn't bid
up to so and SO cents, at least that
has been the rule of late
There is no denying that the situa-
ton is bad enough, at the best, but
to paint conditions as being worse
than they really are does no good, and
is misleading.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 30.-The
Ohio farmer starts one of his biggest
weeks of the year today.
From every section of the state. he
is expected to stram into Columbus
for Farmers Week at Ohio State uni
versity.
He will participate in and listen to
things that it takes a 20-page program
to line up. He will hear addresses
about his business from some of the
biggest men in the business. He will
learn the latest things science has per
fected to help the farmer turn out
better crops and earn more money by
it.
His women-folk will learn how to
dress better on less money. They will
go to concerts, receptions and the like.
If they choose, they will be relieved
of the worry of carting their children
around with them there will be big
nursery and playroom where they may
be left.
George Crane, extension secretary OF
the college of agriculture, predicts
that 5000 Ohio farm people will at
tend Farmers Week this year.
Farmers Week will last through Fri
! day. inclusive, and from a. m. until
! 10 D. NJ, there will be something do
| ing each day.
Dancing Each Day
/ From to p. m. each day, has
Seen set off for what is known as a
"recreational gettogether with old
! time dancing" Here will sound the
one-time familiar cry of Swing your
partners" Instead of the frenzy of
! jazz music, the strains of Turkey in
! the Straw" and Money Musk" and
alike tunes will be heard.
That the practice of wintering sheep
without water or with a very small
amount of water is injurious, was
! found by Paul F. Mengert, q senior in
| the college of agriculture at Ohio
| State university, his results show, he
said sheep can be kept alive with
a very small amount of water, accord
/ ing to his Investigations but it will
! lose weight and will not make proper
use Of its food
A decrease of 4,200,000 trees OF all
fruits in the last ten years is shown in
| 1920 census reports, and horticulture
| experts here are OF the opinion that a
very small percentage of trees which
are planted annually ever come into
| bearing.
z. c. Cotton chief of the bureau OF
plant industry of Ohio, attributes the
| decrease of apple trees to the passing
of the ordinary farm orchard, due, he
| believes, to the increase of insect
pests and diseases, which require regu.
| lar applications of control measures.
convenience and economy of opera
tiOn are the two points of prime i'm
pOrtance to be kept in view in farm
| field arrangement, says Professor J
|. Falconer, department of rural eCOno-
mics, Ohio State.
Professor Falconer sets forth these
| general principles, which may be help
ful towards a better arrangement oi
farm fields:
IN the interest of tillage, harvesting
and crop adaptation, an effort should
be made to avoid widely different sol
types or drainage conditions in the
| same field. Have the entrance to as
many fields as possible near the barn
Have no steep grades between fields
and buildings. Long, rectangular
| fields are more economically worked
/ than square or irregular ones. The
main fields should be of nearly the
same size The number of fields viii
depend upon the rotation followed"
