AMENDMENT TO FARM
LOAN ACT TO BENEFIT
IRRIGATION PROPOSED

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator
Pittman. Democrat, OF Nevada. has
introduced a bill amending the federal
farm loan act making It possible for
the owners OF irrigated lands, on which
liens are held by the government TO
obtain loans from federal farm loan
banks.
The law provides that federal loans
may be made only on first mortgages
and Mr.. Pittman's amendment would
make IL possible in tho case of irri-
gated lands practically to combine the
two liens in one mortgage. It would
provide also that where water fees are
due the government. the loan bank
would take care OF tina amount, adding
1t to the amount already loaned and
would be reimbursed by the owner of
the land.

 e. That the same policy of secur- ing cooperation be used in connec- tion with: 1. Suitable educational or- ganiza tions. 2. All other significant organizations having or needing to have educational progress or co-oper- ative committees.
 Financial Resources
 '. That clubs follow the policy of reserving their financial resources for use as loans or non-tuition schol- arships, and seek tuition scholar ships of both the academic and the technical sort, from tie schools themselves.
 8. That in view of the fact that the projected study Of existing huSt- ness schools cannot be completed in the very near future, clubs do not ask scholarships from business schools until the national committee, in con sultation with state and local com mittees, can define tentative list of schools from which such scho' arships may suitably be accepted, for the present year, the same to be admfnip- tered by the local clubs according to standards recomm ended by the n: tional education committee and &C., cepted by clubs throughout the coln- try.
 3. That for the coming year the national educational committee itself invite the schools selected to give the tuition scholarships involved, thus saving the clubs from embarrassment in the selection.
 10. That in furtherance of it's chief aims, the educational committees of individual clubs award no scholar ships and loans except to high school graduates, and that where economic conditions make it impossible for the girl involved. to complete this high school education without financial cooperation, the clubs follow the policy of extending this cooperation wherever practicable.
 II. That the school grades and other records of all candidt tes for scholarships or loans or for both be carefully investigated before ap- pointment is n ade and that the gen. eral fitness of candida te for busi- ness. s+as well as their capacity for success be considered so that they ma y help us to illustrate to the coun- try the federation standards of ef- ficiency and success
 F. That for the coming year our work as national federation in vo- cational guidance be confined: 1. To showing the value of high school education as a part of preparation for business. 2. To a program of in- formation or self education of clubs, state and national federation, In pre- paration for the time when as a national force we take the large and significant part which we can in time deserve, in the vocational guid- ance movement

 This letter, which is from orie Latham Hatcher, national chairman of education, declares hat the re- port of the national education com mittee at Chattanooga, as well as it's earlier letter to all the clubs, brought such wonderfully wide and thoughtful response that there was no possible doubt of the readi- rass of the bus,' .--otaen of tn country to work whole heartedly this year to improve certain conditions obtaining in regard to education for business womeL
