COUNTRY BANKS CAN
MEET COMPETITION
OF THE CREDITS ACT
Suggested That Country
Institutions Form Loan
Associations.

Washington, ID. c., March 23.-
Suggestions that country banks may
legally organize loan associations I'M
der state laws, as adjuncts TO meet
competition anticipated from the new
intermediate credit banks soon to OPP
crate under the agricultural credits
act, were given last night in a formal
statement by the Federal Farm Loan
Board.
The statement, it was indicated,
was intended to give assurance TO the
thousands of country bankers that IL
was. hot desired that they should be
driven out of business by the govern
ment's credit program.
1t is the aim of the farm loan
board in administering the new Ia"
TO facilitate the service OF the coui,'
try banks, rather than interfere with
them, the statement explained, addlne
that the country banks, obviousl y, can
meet the expected competition by use
of rediscounts, although this course
appeared to the board as questionable
$1,000 wiser and more practical plan.
tile statement continued "would be
TO or<nize under state laws, where
they permit, ioaning corporation as
an adjunct of the bank, with paid II
capital from $4,000 up. as the needs
of the community suggest.
"Such an institution could be Off
cered and served by the officers ant
employees of the bank. without ex
pense, and having no deposits coult
safely rediscount five or six times it
capital. -.
"A IL per cent margin on this
plus the interest on its capital loaned
would produce very good return an'
the net result would be TO take th'
longer term paper ont of the bank
which ought not to carry it and giv'
better service at a reduced rate TO thu
borrower.
"Such corporations would. of course
have to have bona fide paid up CAPT
tai and could rediscount nothing bu

COLOR MASSES OF

Special flowers may be chosen TO

those which harmonic.
Among white flowers, or those with
pure white varieties, one may choose

The average of farm wages for the
entire United States dropped from 81

be hurt by a little frost.
1t is cool weather plant and must
be grown steadily and quickly. Hot
weather or dry spell, either giving
a check in growth, result in hollow,
pithy roots, which are quite worthless.
Cool and fairly moist conditions make
the crisp, solid, toothsome radishes
that everyone relishes in the early
days of spring.
Of the white radishes, Icicle has
attained great popularity and is a
fine radish. 1t is excellent in the sum-

best. In case of doubt, French Break

A G. Ruggles, Minnesota state ento-

of crude arsenic, upon which mixtures
for fighting insects are commonly
based, are running very low. He ex-
plains that the copper smelling indus

KEEP YOUNG LAMBS GROWING
Small Opening into Adjoining Lot
Where Forage Crop Is Growing
Is Excellent Plan.

1t is an excellent practice to have
growing some palatable forage near
the regular sheep pasture for the
lambs to feed upon while they are still
sucking the ewes. If the forage crop
is sown Elm an adjoining lot, small
opening can be made through the fence
so that the lambs have access to the
supplemental feed. They will soon
learn the trick of running to the for
age feed and in this way viii stimu-
late flesh and bone growth. Rape is
an excellent forage for this purpose.

Docking and castraton Of lambs

Improvement in quality, according TO
the United States Department of Agri-

There are several reasons for this.
Docking makes the headquarters of
lambs appear more blocky and deep

GROW SOY BEANS WITH CORN
Amount of Protein Is Increased and
Combination Is Valuable for
Hogeing Off.

Soy beans grown with corn increases
the amount of protein in the crop.
This is generally valuable because
corn lacks sufficient protein for most
kinds of stock. 1t pays to plant a
few pounds of soy beans per acre in
corn to be hogged OFF. 1t would add
very little TO the value of shredded
slower because the soy beans would be
likely to lose most of their leaves
if the corn were allowed to ripen be-

There is less pain when the knife is
used, but there is more loss of blood
and 1t is sometimes necessary to tie
string around the stump to prevent
the lamb from losing a large amount
of blood. This string must be re-
moved a few hours later. When hot
irons are used it is necessary TO rest
the lamb on a board. The irons scar
the stump as the cut is made and
this prevents the loss of blood. The
wound will heal more slowly, however,
than when a knife Is used.
In castrating, the lamb should be
