ton for which he borrows. During the
greater part Of last year the interest
rate charged the farmers cooperating
marketing associations was per cent,
and this same rate prevailed on the
loans made to local institutions which
had to offer farmers notes to us as
collateral The local institutions could
not charge the farmer more than 612
per cent for such money.
Expect Larger Discounts.
"This year we expect an increased
volume of discounts representing loans
which local institutions have made on
dairy and feeding cattle, and also an
increased amount Of business from the
potato and truck growing sections of
our district. In fact, we anticipate a
healthy expansion in our discount bust
ness. This will come to us from more
credit corporations, which will probably
be organized with view to making
loans and discounting them with us.
We also will receive more business from
the bankers of this territory, either in
the way of notes offered by their banks
for discount or from agricultural credit
corporations which they will establish"

FEDERAL CREDIT BANKS
REPORT RECORD LOANS

BY the Associated Press
The IL Federal intermediate credit
banks loaned $109,927 ,063 to farmers
cooperative organizations in 1880 and
discounted notes for sos, O47, 068, the
proceeds Of which had been loaned by
local institutions.
These totals were shown in the quar-
terly report of the Federal Farm Loan
Board, made public today, and were
greater than for any year since the or
ganiation of the banks in 1928.
Loans to cooperative marketing Or
CARNATIONS outstanding at the end Of
1880 amounted to $64 ,377, 067, of which
loans on cotton totaled about $39,000,-
600, wool, $9,000,000; grains, $500 900;
dried fruits, $5,50O,000: canned fruits

Shorter Term Loans.

Although the quarterly report Of the
Federal Farm Loan Board does not
show the number Of farmers who have
benefited by the activities of the Fed
eral Intermediate Credit Bank Of Balti-
more, which is housed with and officered
by the same officials as the Federal
Land Bank, President Walden recently
estimated that more than 100000 farm
ers have been recipients Of loans from
this bank through their cooperative
marketing associations handling TO-
bacco, cotton, apples and coffee, the
latter product, of course, representing
loans in Porto Rico. The loans made
by these banks are not made directly to
the farmers In any instance-they are
made to keep cooperative marketing
associations upon their notes backed by
warehouse receipts representing staple
commodities in storage, such as those
Just enumerated. The Federal Farm
Loan Board has approved score or
more of such commodities, but no other
cooperative associations in this district
to date have made use of loans. Ad-
yanceS on these commodities usually
amount to from so to IS per cent of
the current value. They thus enable
the cooperative to advance to the
farmer a liberal proportion Of the value
of his products at the time he brings
them to the cooperative to market.
"An increasing volume OF another
kind Of credit has been extended by
this bank" continued Mr.. Walden. Il
refer to the discounts of farmers notes
given to local institutions, the proceeds
from which have been used for agri-
cultural purposes, including the feeding,
breeding or raising of live stock. These
local institutions include banks (both
state and nationaD and agricultural
credit corporations. The local institu-
tion makes the loan, takes the farmers
note and discounts it with the Federal
intermediate Credit Bank. Such loans
usually run for periods commensurate
with the farmers operation for which
the funds were borrowed. Such credit
is considered essentially self-liquioating,
for it is the intention OF the borrower
to repay at the maturity Of the opera

CAMPS FOR BOYS AND GIRLS
NEW TOURIST BUSINESS
SAYS H. C. HOTALING

One of the by-products of the tour
list business which will be more and

that new industry embodied in camps

ing, secretary Of the Ten Thousand
Lakes Greater Minnesota Associa-
ton.
Minnesota has boosted camps for
boys and girls for several years, but
within the last two years many new
ones have been established. This
year according to records of the Ten
Thousand Lakes-Greater Minnesota
Association there are. 13 camps for
girls which are open to the general
public and % camps for boys. Sew
en- new camps for boys have been
opened this year.
These camps draw boys and girls
from all parts of the nation. They
not only provide every kind of re-
creation under the supervision Of ex-
perienced directors, but opportuni-
ties for tutoring are also offered to
those Who have to make up school
work during the summer months. In
the average camp instruction may
be had in swimming, diving, tennis,

MARSHALL YOUNG MAN
FREED OF CHARGES

Charged with the sale of liquor,
his case taken through various courts
since last fall, Raymond Starr, 18-
year-old bellboy in the New Atlantic
Hotel at Marshall, was freed by
jury, on an instructed verdict, in fed
eral court at Mankato recently. Starr
was arrested in September, 1880, on
complaint of H. Ruzine, under-cover
man for the sheriff. Ruzine induced
the bellboy to get him some alcohol.
After getting the alcohol, Ruzine
gave the young fellow a drink. At
the time of the arrest complaint was
entered against Ruzine on a charge
of giving liquor to minor, but he
was given clear bill by the grand
jury, after being held in the county
Jail for few days.
In the course of the Mankato trial,
it was brought out that Ruzine had
known where Starr bought the lqour
for him, but that he had made no
effort to get the bootlegger, concent-
rating for more than six months on
pushing the prosecution of the eigh-
teen year old bellboy.

Minnesota is ideally adapted to the
development of camps for boys and

when boys and girls are out of school
is the most delightful time in Mime
sofa for outdoor recreation. This
means that the possibilities for de-
velopment Of summer camps is al
most unlimited.
