possible for the farmer to borrow on
the loan value of his product rather
than on his personal responsibility; it
gives him a larger amount of credit;
it gives him a larger field of credit
upon which to draw; it places his
product in the hands of a warehouse
man who is presumed to know how
to keep it from deteriorating; gener-
ally he can obtain a lower insurance
rate, and the placing of his product
in a ~federally licensed warehouse
means that he can get it on the mark
ct at any time regardless of weather
or conditions of roads.
The worst enemy Of the farmer and
of the warehouse act is he who en-
deavors to modify the present regu-
lations for federally licensed ware
houses so as to create in the minds OF
bankers and government financial
agencies, such as the War Finance
corporation, a doubt as to the value
of loans made on warehouse receipts
There is not the least doubt that any
move to permit the farmers to stor'
their products in cribs or granariei
not having a federal license would de
stroy absolutely the value of thu
warehouse act, would seriously i'm
pair the usefulness Of the agricul
tural credits act, and would cause
loss of untold millions to the farmer
who listened to this evil advice.
Some idea of the growth of feders
ware-housing under the administers
ton of Secretary Wallace is obtaine
from the records which show that o
April 1st, 1921, there were only 5
, warehouses licensed by the <eder'
r government to store grain, while o
= June 80, 1928, there were 2S1 fedel
n ally licensed warehouses authorized /

The Department of Agriculture is
eager to advise with any group of
farmers contemplating such an organ

In sending out this information the
department takes occasion to make
plain the provisions and advantages
of the act. The principal advantage
to farmers is that they are enabled Il
borrow money on the warehouse re

The selling. however. confined itself

The result was that the market be-

coupled with weakness on the big

A glance or two over the 1923

apparently tried to strengthen his

are on their last legs and one suf-
fered from an ailing arm during

are Brillheart, Yarmouth, Potter,
Turk, McGrew, Brogan, Beach,
HolIingsworth, and Hankins.
OF these lads their youth is said
to be their greatest asset.
OLD GUARD ON JOB.
The old guard in the infield will
be Judge, Harris, Peckinpaugh. the

is to be tried at third, Bob La

The new infielders are Gagnon,
former Holy Cross flash; Ossie

Lamotte are fairly well known
quantities.
Conroy, Bleugge, and Gagnon
have not been through the trial of
