CONGRESS ENACTED AGRICULTURAL CRED.
ITS ACT ON THE LAST day Of SESSION
Statement is Made by the Secretary Of ,ricul-
ture--Of Interest to Somerset Farmers

'by the borrowers or stockholders In
the bank.
T Heretofore the maximum amount
which might be loaned to any indivi-
dual by the Federal land banks has
been $4,000. This has been increased
TO $4,000 Also the purpose for
which mortgage loans may be made
has been broadened to include the re-
payment of any existing indebtedness
The Federal Reserve Act is amended
by broadening the definition OF what
is called agricultural paper making
il include the grading and processing
OF agricultural products by coopera-
tive marketing associations. Here
tofore the Federal Reserve Banks have
not been permitted to discount agri-
cultural paper for longer period
i than six months. This period has
been increased to nine months.
A large number of state banks are
not now large. enough to meet the re-
aurements of the law. An amend
ment to the Federal Reserve Act is
carried in this bill designed to
encourage small banks to join the
system. A bank which has capital
equal only TO sixty percent of the
capital required of national banks may
now be admitted, if within reason
able time the capital will he increased
to correspond with the capital re-
quired of national banks.
The life of the War Finance Corpor-
alton is extended up to February 90,
1924. the expectation being that by
that date the new credit facilities
provided for under this agricultural
credits act will be sufficient to meet
the needs.
This Agricultural Credits Act of
1923 Is one of the most important acts
passed by the last Congress. It marks
an earnest effort to provide the farmer
with the sort Of credit he must have
to carry on efficiently. 1t is not class
legislation. The results will be help
full to business in general because
the effect will be to stabilize agricul-
tural production and marketing.

Somerset County Agricultural News
I'll Potato Cost Account Outside OF
ArO0st0Ok County

Summary of potato cost accounts
covering 1858 acres kept during 1877
season by "a farmers outside OF Aroos-
took County shows. an average cost
per acre of $12604. Based as the
average yield OF $50 bushels field run,
the average cost per bushel was 81
cents or $232 per barrel. These data
were complied from weekly labor re-
cords furnished by the cooperators
throughout the season and special
report on cost of fertilizer, seed. rent
of land. use OF machinery and other
similar costs. The farms furnishing
these records were located by coun-
ties as follows. Somerset, Il. Pts
cataquis. u: .Penobscof. .; Waldo, g.;
Hancock. 5; York, s. Kennebec, 3;
Oxford. ?, Twin. 2, Franklin, / Knox
Lincoln. Washington. /.
For the purpose of analysis. these
records were divided into three
groups: IL Those fapms where the
usual potato equipment was used, 81
Those where a tractor was used in
addition TO the usual equipment, and
90 Those wherein no special potato
equipment was used.
i ne tDldl COST per acre was pi d'l7
cally the same in the first two groups
but in the third group where the work
was done largely by hand, the cost
per acre was $1,000 or about 20 per
cent greater The item of man labor
was SEAS greater. The charge for
use Of machinery was about the same
In both cases because the number of
acres handled per farm was small in
the cases where special machinery
was not used, thus making the cost
per acre high for such equipment as
was used The cost per bushel was
considerably lower where special
equipment was used due to a lower
cost per acre and larger yield The
increased yield was doubtless due in
part to the better care made possible
by use of specA equipment. In
part. however, the larger yield was
the result of more favorable soil and
climatic conditions.
