NEW CREDIT
FOR HAY MEN
Federal Farm Loan Board
Accepts Hay as Basis
for Credit Loans

According to reports received here
the work of organizing the North
west Haygrowers' association is pro-.
crossing satisfactorily. Since the pre-
liminary meeting held here early this
month the organization committee
has been carrying forward it's work
and the signing up of mmebers is well
under way in some Of the Yakima
Valley districts.
President L. A Hunt, Of the Ore
gon Haygrowers association, who has
been assisting in the larger movement
has issued the following announce
ment regarding recent action of the
federal farm loan board:
The federal farm loan board in in
terpreting the new rural credit bill
passed at the last session Of congress,
in its original ruling, refused to con-
slider hay as a staple agricultural
commodity for use as security for OBJ
legations submitted for rediscount
thru the feds.sl inteSmediate credit
banks. Under this ruling it was i'm
possible for hay growers to avail
themselves of this rural credit bill,
for the reason that it was found
absolutely impracticable to warehouse
hay and it has been the practice here
tofore to use only warehouse receipts
as basis for such credits.
The Oregon Cooperative Hay Grow
ers opened negotiations to secure a
change in this ruling, but fearing the
inability to get prompt action single
handed, they solicited the coopera-
ton of the Yakima County Farm Bu-
reau. Thru their united action Mr..
Buckles, manager of the intermed-
late credit bank at Spokane met with
the hay growers at Kennewick to
consider what action might be neces-
sary to care for the hay growers de-
mands. A statement Of the condi-.
tions under which hay is grown, stor-
ed and marketed was prepared by the
secretary of the Yakima Farm Bu-
reau and the manager of the Oregon
Cooperative Hay growers and for
warded to the National Farm Loan
Board. The cooperation of CONNER
cial clubs in the Yakima Valley and
the congressional delegations of Ore
gon and Washington was also obtain
ed, and at the last meeting Of the
Board held in Washington June 18th,
the matter was taken up for discus
sion. All the demands made by the
hay growers were agreed to.
This means that hay on the farm
and in the stack can now be used as
the basis for credit and removes the
last possibility of doubt of the new
Northwest Hay Growers association
being able to make reasonable ad-
vances to growers upon hay in the
stack.
The cooperation of large number
Of local banks had already been Sc
cured to this end, but the action OF
the Farm Loan board is most well
come. This will be Of material as
s;stance to local banks which may
wish to discount this class OF paper
and should the hay growers find It
desirable to set up an agricultural
credit corporation, they will be able
to rediscount this paper direct at 5s
ner. cent interest. This would guar
antee money to members at not more
than z per cent interest.

PLENTY CREOSOTE ON
HAND SAYS CHAMBLISS
Board of Health Advises Coating
interior of Farm Houses With
Mixture to Kill Mosquitoes

A new and plentiful supply OF
creosote has just been secured by
the Board of Health, DR.. J. W.
Chambliss announced today, which
will be distributed among owners
of tenement property here at cost.
The material, he says, should be
used to eliminate the mosquito in
houses where screening is imprac-
tlcable, and its efficacy has been
amply demonstrated where the four
interior walls are coated with the
mixture. Spraying or coating
doors and windows, DR.. Cbambliss
says has been found impracticdble.
and is no longer advised by the
health authorities.
In advising the use of creosote,
DIR. Chambliss states this mixture
should be used only where it is i'm
practicable to screen or for any
reason standing water where mos
Quitoes breed cannot be removed.
In all acses where water can be
drained, it is advised that this be
done, and screening is advised un-
der all conditions, even where stag
nant water does not exist, but this
is not insisted upon.

Root and Hughes Will
Help BY Speech
Making
VOTE TO BE EQUAL
Opposing Senators Plan
Active Comeback"
on Issue
BY LAWRENCE MARTIN,

United Press STAFF Correspondent
WASHINGTON, April 23.-In
an effort to still the rising tempest
in Republican ranks over the world
court, three Of the foremost mer, In
that party this week Will pour the
oil Of their eioquence upon the
troubled waters.
President Harding today was
completing the speech he will de-
liver in New York Tuesday after
noon. MIR. Harding is counting
heavily on the effect Of his speech
to silence Republican opposition to
his court proposal.
He intends to speak both to the
country at large, in explanation OF
the reservations which he regards as
making American adhesion to the
court entirely safe and to the prom
inent Republicans, including sena-
tors and editors, who with increas-
ing vigor are demanding that he
abandon his advocacy Of the court.
Enhu Root Speaks
On Thursday Elihu Root. in open
ing the sessions of the American So
ciety of International Law here, is
expected to add his voice and influ-
enee to the effort to quiet the un-
easiness in Republican ranks.
The following day Secretary of
State Hughes addressing the same
body, will make an important
speech on the world court. Hughes,
author of the administration IS safe
guarding reservations, will explain
how they protect American inter
ests. In addition he is expected to
show that Great Britain s six votes
in the league of nations assembly
will not give that empire an advan-
tage over the United States in the
election of judges TO the court.
Equal Vote in League
If the United States goes in un-
der the Harding proposal it will
have one vote in the league councils
where Great Britain also has one.
Mr.. Harding now has begun to
realize that his party opponents are
in earnest and if he sticks to his
advocacy of the court he must prove
to Watson Lodge, Mccormick and
others that he has popular support.
If he can do that, the loud blasts
of opposition now being emitted
viii subside, he believes.
While the president and his chief
lieutenants were thus preparing to
go to the country for support, the
opposition was equally active. Sen
ators Watson and Mccormick in
tended to take up with Senator
Lodge on his arrival here tonight,
the question of presenting to the
president an organized protest
against making the court proposal
one of the principal administration
issues. The anti-court group il
counting on Lodge but there is no
certainty that he will help actively.
