Credit Corporations.
"The second division Of the act
authorizes the organization, under a
federal charter, of national agricul-
tural credit corporations. these to be
organized by private capital. They
will be under the supervision of the
Comptroller of the Currency, just rs
are other national banking institu-
tions. They must have capital
stock of at least S2J0,000. They may
issue collateral trust debcntures up
to ten times their capital and sur
plus. Such corporations will probably
be organized in the Western States
where the livestock industry is I'M
portant and where now cattle loan
companies are in operation.
in addition to the provisions OF
the act designed to furnish the farm
err much needed intermediate credit,
certain changes have been made in
the law under which the federal land
bank operate and in the Federal Re
serve act. Provision for the estab-
lishment of the so-called permanent
organization of the twelve federal
land banks is made by providing that
three ont of the seven directors for
each bank are to be elected by the
borrowers from the bank and three
are TO be appointed by the Federal
Farm Loan Bureau. The seventh di-
rector, who will be the president OF
the board. will be chosen from three
persons who have received the high
est nomination vote for this position
by the borrowers or stockholders in
the bank
Can Borrow S25,0O0.
Heretofore the maximum amount
which might be loaned to any indiv-
idual by the federal land banks has
been $4,000 This has been increas-
ed to $4,000. Also the purpose for
which mortgage loans may be made
has been broadened TO include the
repayment of any existing indebted

"A large number of state banks are
not now members of the Federal Re-
serve system, some of them because
their capital is not large enough to
meet the requirements of the law.
An amendment to the Federal lie
serve act is carried in this bill de-
signed to encourage small banks to
join the system. A bank, which has
capital equal only to 60 per cent of
the capital required of national banks.
may now be admitted if within a rea-
sonable time the capital will be in
creased TO correspond with the capt.
tai required of national banks.
Extend Corporations Life.
"The1i of the War Finance Cor
poration is extended up to February
30. 1924, the expectation being that
by that date the new credit facilities
provided for under the agricultural
credits act will be sufficient to meet
the needs.
"The agricultural credits act of
1923 is one of the most important
acts passed by the last Congress. 1t
marks an earnest effort to provide the
farmer with the sort of credit he must
have 10 carry on efficiently. 1t is
not class legislation. The results will
be helpful to business in general. be-
cause the effect will be to stabilize
agricultural production and market

The Hen Will Save Us

tSpflnSllelu l NOM -.
Rome was saved by geese. New
England, ii we are to believe Prof.
John C. Graham of Massachusetts
Agricultural College, will be saved by
the hens. the plain, unpretentious
hens of our Yankee farmsdes. the
cluck- clucks clan of the fcathered
world. Mills and factories may
clumble, textile and metal manufact-
ures disappear from this neck O. the
woods. ana still we shall prosper.
From million poultry yards a
thousand million faithful hens will
cackle the glad tidings of as many
newiaid cSS.
~ great and growing agricultural
production declares Prof. Graham,
can be based upon the hen as it can
not upon any other element in our
New England farming" 1t is de-
claration which is also prediction,
capable of almost immediate fulfill
ment. More hens, more eggs; more
eggs. more hens. until every Yankee
hillside and valley is dotted with
poultry yards. and tremendous floods
of eggs and dressed poultry flow out
to every corner of our thrice blessed
land.
New England agriculture has been
at low cbb because. except in
onions and potatoes. New England
has not been able successfully to COM
pete with the huge flat farmlands of
the West. Specializing in poultry.
however. the Yankee farmer has q
grand chance to come into his own
again. Hens do not require broad
prairies; they do better within closer
confines. Properly encouraged one
hen in its industrious lifetime may
lay 1000 eggs. a thousand eggs,
properly Matched. should produce a
thousand chickens. each in turn to
lay thousand cggs-but the mathc-
MATES of it would daze Col. Mulberry
Sellers. Liberal allowance must be
made for losses in Matching and lay
ing else within few years the hens
would be so numerous as to crowd
mere humans out OF New England.
Nevertheless and Notwithstanding,
there are great possibilities in New
England poultry raising. Eggs and
poultry always command a ready
market, for storage in the season of
overproduction and for direct use the
rest of the year. and the prices in
recent years have been such as to
yield generous profit.

REFORM IN PENNSYLVANIA

Judging from such comment as we
have CHANGED upon Pennsylvania
has not in the past few years at least
been often cited as one noted for re-
form achievements. Clifford Pinchot
would have it otherwise. He spent a
lot o& money last year for a chance
to try out some of his reform ideas.
He made pledges and the people took
him at his word and elected him Gov
ernor.
He was inauSurated the other day.
He wanted the ceremony to be SIM
pie but it is said to have lacked MOTH
ing in imprcssvcncss on that ac-
count. He renewed his pledges. And
1t is interesting to note that among
these is the throttling of the liquor
trade in that state where all through
the dry regime it is said beer and
whiskey have been plentiful. He
proposes to drive every saloon out of
existence. He will appoint no Of
ficialS who are drinking men. He sees
that the State must either control
the criminals or be controlled by
them" and he doesn't propose it
shall be the latter. More strength
and plenty of endurance to Governor
Pinchot of Pennsylvania.

FOR A SETTLED POLICY

Settled policy with regard to dis
tribution of State aid is very
desirable arrangement yet somewhat
difficult, not only to attain but also
to adhere to. Evidence of this is
likely to appear in connection with
the effort now being made to have
the problem of State aid to private
institutions like the general hospitals
submitted to the people for decision.
The State will always have charges
which should. as occasion demands,
receive treatment other than can be
given in the insane or tubercular
tempt will not be. made to establish
State hospitals to care for these.
The reason is not far to seek. 1t is
said that the cost per person in a
certain private tubercular sanitor-
ium in this State is not over half
what it is in the State sanitoriums.
And this reminds us that the State
has three of these sanitoriums, each
with its overhead expense, for the
treatment of disease which in most
instances is Of nature to permit of
travel for greater distance than
would be safe with some of the
patients that go to the small gen.
eral hospitals for treatment. The
latter should not be long distances
apart to properly serve their COM
munities.
In the nature of things the small
general hospitals are likely to in
crease in the demand for State aid
unless something be done to check
need of restriction or of doing away
altogether with state aid to such in
situations. Maine has now come to
a place where the decision is sought.
The policy of referring everything
possible to the people, passing it
along. is altogether too common for
or the welfare of all concerned.
There is, however, in this instance
good argument for so doing if the
matter may be presented in proper
shape. But if the change is to be
made care should be had that loop
hole is not left for the establishment
of another State institution to do the
work for the State which is now be-
ing done in these general hospitals.
One feature of the situation is be-
come quite clear. The private gencr-
al hospitals are in the main doing
an excellent work They are return
ing to the people as much if not
more of service than are some of
the State institutions. They should
not be crippled and aid to which they
have become adjusted should not be
instantly withdrawn. This situation
is said to be recognized in the meas
ure which is now being framed.

Stability clamors for final con-
illusions respecting the debt England
owes this country. Congress has
said it must he paid in twenty five
years. The British commissioners
have presented evidence to show that
this cannot be done. They ask for
three per cent rate of interest. Our
Government raised the money with
bonds bearing Al per cent interest
1t isn't clear that this country should
donate the difference to Great
Britain. The British commissioners
have gone home to await develop
ments. No one over here except the
trouble makers wants an extra ses-
sion of Congress. which comes to ar
end March 4th and isn't likely mean
while to take up the matter Of the
debt. But perhaps the tortoise will
arrive ahead Of the hare

Big Ice House Falls

The big ice house on Marshall
street. Bath. owned by John T.
Palmer. was wrecked Friday morn
ing about two. Whether it was the
southwest gales that shook down the
wooden structure or the weight of
heavy SHOWS on the roof that caused
the walls to spread or a combination
of both will perhaps never be known.
There were four or five tiers of ice
representing three days of new cut
ting in the ice house at the time.
The ice house which was built after
the fire of three years ago when Mr..
Palmer was practically cleaned out,
has a capacity for 5000 tons although
Mr.. Palmer seldom plans on putting
in more than 1000 tons.

BILLION AND A HALF INCREASE

Savings deposits in this country in
1922 increased by billion and a
half over those of the previous year,
according to a statement sent out by
the American Bankers Association.
The total amount of savings reported
for 1922 was s1S,OS7 493, 900, surely a
considerable sum. The number of
savings accounts on June 80, ult was
2S,955,526.
School savings deposits amounted
last year to five and a half millions,
an increase of 400 over the previous
year. with indications of a large in
crease this year.
Life insurance. not including bcne-
fetal societies or the Government
bureau, was found to be around
fifty billions on American life. The
building and loan associations re-
ported an increase of 100 in NOM
bership and 1870 in resources. On
the other hand the report shows that
postal savings have decreased,
though Government securities in
large amounts were absorbed.
One has right to infer from this
that the public is steadily increasing
the sinews Of future business, big
sinews indicating big business.
