Agricultural Credit Corporation

This is the $lO,OOO,00O corporation
organized last Spring by subscrip-
tons from banks and other bus
mess corporations to provide relief
for the banking and agricultural
situation in the Northwest. AS the
result of a good wheat crop and
good prices, the entire situation has
changed so much for the better
that no further aid to banks has
been necessary in recent months,
and the loans made to banks are
in course of collections. The total
number of such loans made was
236, of which 48 had been repaid
in full to December u.
Up to December % the corpor-
alton had purchased 3,lol dairy
cattle at a total cost of $255, 4ol.-
l8, all average of $1,000 per head.
These cattle were purchased for
$40 farmers. being an average ad-
vance per farmer of l$393.67. The
animals were shipped to 1872 COM
munities. The corporation has ap-
proved cow applications covering
about $50 cows to be purchased for
81 farmers in rs communities.
In addition to the dairy animals
the Corporation purchased 3l,86Q
breeding ewes at a cost of 1884,
626.6 representing an average cost
laid down of 1924. These sheep
were purchased for 655 farmers
the average advance per farmer
being $449.8l, and covering an aver.
age of 40 sheep per farmer. Ths
sheep were shipped into 81 com.
munities.

Agricultural Conditions

The wheat situation becomes
more interesting as the season ad-
vances, and. developments have fav-
ored the theory that supplies will
not go around without q curtaii-
ment of consumption. Some mouths
ago it was agreed that much de-
pended upon the outcome Of the
crops in the Southern hemisphere.
and now it appears that in the ag-
gregate they will be 2O,O0O,OOO to
1000, 600 bushels short of last year.
The final official estimate on the
Canadian crop is 262,O67 900 against
474,l99,OOO in 1923. In this coun-
try and Canada the crop has moved
to market with unusual rapidity,
but exports have moved in like
manner. The visible supply OF
wheat in the United States east Of
the Rocky Mountains on July S,
1924, was 36,265.OOO bushels. from
which date there was a steady in
crease to Nov. g, 1924, when the
visible was lO5.5OO,00O bushels.
From the latter date to January "a,
1925, the visible declined to 49,
100, 900 bushels, which was about
100000 in excess OF stocks at the
corresponding date last year. The
aggregate visible in the United
States and Canada on January II,
1925, was loo, l75,O0O, against 2Ol,-
283.000 On the corresponding date
in 1924, and in both countries the
crop is thought to be out OF farm

at that time. Exports from this
country since July lst last have

found anxieties of the war and
post war period caused many
merchants to curtail their activit-
les and in some cases to retire
altogether. Anyway, it would be
found that there were fewer
wheat importers to-day in Great
Britain than in the pre-war per-
iod.
When the disaster to Canada's
crop last season occurred, it was
to find our market under bought
the stock of wheat in ware
houses was insignificant, and for
weeks together practically non
existent. In every department
the market was under manned
and under-bought. As the Can
adam disaster became better

Immediately increased their bids,
and many sellers in America
withdrew-nor could sellers any
where abroad be induced to part
with any portion of their old re-
serves except by being tempted
by bids much higher than the
preceding one.
II there had been more middle
men, more wheat would have
been brought to Great Britain.
Middlemen take a view" of the
future of the market and risk
bringing along wheat.
International traders would
never be quite happy until they
got Russia back into the ranks
Of exporters. Speaking of wheat
growing in Russia, he said that
the landowners in the south who
grew winter wheat, of which
one third used to be exported,
had now disappeared and their
land had been given to the peas
ants, who could hardly be expect
ed to export as their predeces-
sors did. Even if Russia returned
to settled government, it must
be long before she could recover
the importance which formerly
belonged to her.

Other Grains

The price OF rye has been keep
ing pace with that of wheat, and
European figures OF the quantity
of rye wanted far exceed the stocks
in this country. Corn and Oats
also have advanced, although oats
have been affected by the situation
much less than the other grains.
The yield of good corn has. been
very short, but farmers are very
sparing in its use, and visible sup

Receipts of corn at twelve leading
western markets, July l to January
II. according to Bradstreet's were
l43.220.OO0 bushels, against l48,-
100000 in the corresponding period
the year before. The Argentine
government estimates the. acreage
in corn in that country this year
at $4,000 against 8,46l 900 last
year and 7,85O,0OO the year before.
AS the Argentine is about the only
country which exports corn ex-
cepting the United States, it is of
interest to note that these figures
compare with 1O5,O0O,O0O acres
planted to corn in this country las:
year.
Flax-seed has been a profitable
crop in the past year. The acreage
in the United States was 3,289,000,
against 2,Ol4,000 in 1923 and L.
$4,000 in 1922. and the crop was
10000, 900 bushels. against H,0O0,-
600 in 1923 and 100000 in 1922
The government estimated the
farm price on December l last al
$2.27 per bushel, which was slight
ly above the price in the previous
years, but there has been sub.
stantial rise since that date. The
Minneapolis price is now about
$3.l5 per bushel. Reports upon the

Congregational Church Group First
To Ask for u. S. Thanksgiving Day

The rebuilding of the First Congre.
Presidents church, as President Cool
idge is a member of that church and
worshipS there, recalls that ii was
band of devout New England Congre-
gatfonalists from this church who
called on President Andrew Johnson,
on October 2, 1865. and asked him to
appoint day for yearly thanksgiving.
The request was granted, and the
celebration of the day on the last
Thursday in November became the
regular custom of the Nation.
This circumstance of the origin
of Thanksgiving day has perhaps been
forgotten in the passing of two gen
erations.
During the war President Lincoln
set apart certain days and asked the
people Of the country to repair to
their respective places of worship and
give thanks to God but the national
Thanksgiving day was established in
the administration of President John
son.
The committee which called upon
Lincoln's successor and asked for a
national Thanksgiving consisted of

of Wellington who first discovered
the possibilities of Pau, during one of
his Spanish campaigns, and he sent
over for his Irish hounds and hunters
and started the fashion. The hunt

1t has been an Anglo-Saxon affair
dominated entirely by Americans and
BritOnS.
Bostonians are numerous in Pau as
Winter residents and the elder Mr.

Democrat, but he never loses sight of the overshadowing importance of personal fitness. The main thing is to secure efficiency ia public service and integrity in the discharge of pub. lie duty In Hartford people of all shades of politics have preference for nonpartisanship in local affairs
 The biennial city elections center on the maYoralty and in the choice of q mayer political preference exercises an influence that Is frequently de termining in its effect But in other important offices on the ticket, like those of treasurer Co which there is attached q salary of S6,o00 a year. and tax collector. city clerk, and con. truller whose ineumbents receive each Sa.5o0. the candidates are on both tickets The partisan division of these four offices are equal. two being Re. publican and two Democratic.
 The Democratic Quarrel
 The Democrats continue to wash their soiled linen in public te the dis. may of the democracy of the state The family quarrel has gone so far now and it has created SO much bitter ness as to make Democratic victory at the state election next year improb- able If not impossible The trouble is traceable 10 the last Democratic state convention when the sentiment of the state for Governor Smith for the pres. identlal nomination was ignored. The steam roller of the leaders did it's work, and effectively too. and the re- suit Is seen in the open hostility ef the Democratic voters to their politi- cal leaders, The voters have no con hdenee m their state organization and unless there is a complete reorganiza- ton the Democratic ticket next year will not receive the cordial support of Democratic voters.
 The retirement of Mr. Cummings from official connection with the Dem ocratie party of the state was the last straw and it completed the discom- future of the democracy. He was eas= fly the hrainiest and most sagacious leader of the party He had the cool est head and the soundest judgment, and he had a delightful personality which epdeared him to everyone. There is no one to take his place in the state. The rumor that his sympathies will. in the future, be less enthusias- tic for the success Of the Democratic party may be dismissed as canard. Mr. Cummings was formerly a Repub hcan. but he has been Democrat for twenty five years or since he first came out as supporter of the late William j. Bryan. He may. at times, le disappointed with Democratic poll eies. but he has never been suspected of weakening in his democracy. IL required a change of convictions To leave the Republican party for the party of free silver and other isms and the convictions of strong men do not readily change.

Many a member of the Putnam fire department had to jump out of a nice warm bed at 6.S3. Wednesday morn ing. when a seemingly needless gen eral alarm was pulled in from Box a6, Providence street. Arriving at a barn in the rear of i9i Providence street, property owned by James F. Donahue, it was found that cushion m an automobile belonging to A. D. Marion had been on fire. but the fire had been extinguished by the owner with dirt.
 According 10 Marion's statement he went to start the ear and Il back fired and set the cushion on fire Marion's 's hand was somewhat burned and his clothing caught fire during the time he fought the blaze.
 A second alarm came in by tele- phone at l0.20 Wednesday morning. As a telephone call Is for a small blaze the Hook S Ladder truck was sent out. The fremen found that q chicken coop and B barn belonging ta Henry Gaudette, Mechanics street. were on fire and n such a position on side hill that the truck could not reach them. Chief Thurston gave or ders to pull in a general alarm from Box 25. and the hose trucks respond ed. The fire was fought with one stream of water. The hen coop. val ued al $500, was totally destroyed. It was uninsured The barn was dam aged to the extent of S200. covered by insurance Mir. Gaudette stated that he could not account for the fire, as there was ne fire in either building and no matches were about the build ings There is no theory advanced as to what started the fire.
