FEDERAL CROP
LOANS READY
Are Now Available To Farm
ers Says Russell E. Wilson,
Kent County Agent
REGULATION THIS YEAR

According to a statement which
has been issued by County Agent
Russell E. Wilson, regulations for
1888 governing Federal crop pro-
duction loans have been published
by the Secretary of Agriculture,
and these loans are now available
to the farmers in this county upon
request to G. r. Hare, field inspec-
tor of the crop production loan Of
flee, whose headquarters are in
Salisbury, Maryland. Instead of
writing to Washington or to one of
the regional loan offices, Mr.. Hare
states that farmers can obtain the
necessary application blanks for
loans, and detailed information
about the requirements, direct from
him, or from their county agent.
Applications will then be reviewed
by the county loan committee, then
certified and forwarded to the re-
gional office at Washington for
final approval and action. The
regulations this year specify that
only those who cannot get loans
elsewhere are eligible for loans
from the S9O,OOO,O00 fund author
lied by Congress. Loans can be
used only for crop production, and
require the borrower to reduce his
acreage of cash crops 80 percent
under last year, unless he does not
intend to plant more than 20 acres
of corn, 2 1-2 acres of truck crops,
3 acres Of potatoes, or 40 acres of
wheat. The maximum permitted
to any one borrower this year is
$500; or, in the case of tenants, the
total of all loans to tenants of any
one Landlord within a single county
cannot exceed $1,000. The actual
amount advanced by the author
tiles will depend upon the borrow
er's requirements. "A first lien or
on the crop will be re-
quired. The regulations require
that loans be repaid on or before
October 81, 1888, with interest at
5 1-2 per cent which will be de-
Quoted when the loan is made.
Since the loans call for a first lien
on the crop as security, the bor-
rover frequently has to procure
waivers from prior mortgages or
rights. If the applicant is a ten
ant, or is farming land under con-
tract for deed or so-called crop
contract, or has given prior /
on his 1888 crops, the
regulations state he must secure /
The waivers Of the actual owners of 4
he land, and or all prior mortgage
holders. If the applicant is the
)Wner of the land and farms it
With tenants or share croppers,
waivers of such tenants or share
,roppers must be secured. The
further specify that the
person waving his prior rights
must agree not to dispose of his
'ent note, mortgage, or other Sc
.urity without first having obtain
d the written consent of duly
agent of the Secretary
# Agriculture. The regulations
make it unlawful for any persons
o dispose of or assist in disposing
# any crops given as security for
my crop loan, except for the ac-
ount of the Secretary of Agricul-
ure and provide for fine and i'm
for violation of such
equation. The regulations also
equire that each borrower agrees
o plant a garden for his home use
nd sufficient acreage to furnish
eed for his livestock.

DELAWARE CALM

ABOVE everything else the
telling thing is the spirit of
confidence displayed by our
leading bankers and mer-
chants and others who think
that our trouble is merely
temporary and will soon be
over, says the Morning News.
"Some say that things will
be normal in a few days. And
they modestly refer to the
tremendous and sound re-
sources of our leading bank
ing institutions. In fact they
do not anticipate any real dis
treSs here in Delaware. That
supports the declaration of
Governor Buck, who is also a
banker. Our State bankers
have studied sagaciously the
situation and have announced
an emergency program that
will be highly helpful and re-
lieve much Of the annoyance.
Governor Buck has issued
a new proclamation modifying
the former one and telling
what can be done. The people
should be thankful for that.
Along with this comes the
plan from Washington, which
provides for relief in part
from the preposterous posi-
ton in which the people have
beeA placed. There should be
bristling brains among the
leadership at Washington to .
hoist the country completely .
out Of the hole within a few
days. 1t is said that the banks 4
will be reopened guardedly to
meet the essential needs of
and the public and to
protect food and employment.
One report is that depositors
may be permitted to withdraw
Une-third Of their deposits.
That would be helpful indeed.
Congress is also expected
at its session tomorrow to give
the President unlimited pow
er, which no doubt he would
use wisely. Now that it looks
better and brighter, there is
little talk of the proposal that
the government guarantee
bank deposits, and yet that
plan. if necessary, is urged by
some eminent financiers in
this city and elsewhere. The
people are to be congratulated
upon their calm and clever
conduct during these trying
times.
"Means should be taken to
prevent anything Of this kind
happening again. 1t should
not be possible in a country
like the United States"

OUR VALLEY
By S. p. WERNER

When we come to consider

ressive improvement and develop
ment of our valley, it may be
we'll to attempt to get broad
perspective first, The way in
which the human race has Stun
bled along in its upward prog
ress. destroying and building,
more or less blindly plunging
ahead without adequate, planning
on comprehensive scale, has
long impressed philosophic OBJ
servers, from Plato to Mussolinl.
The Italian statesman, however,
has at least made a heroic at
tempt to put the philosophy of
ages to a practical test. So have
the Russian dictators, at least &C
cording to their apologists and
defenders. Now comes our own
President Roosevelt with an idea
of co-ordinated nationwide plan
ming which may be something
new in America.
That George Washington fore
saw some of the problems even
tually to arise in the nation he
established may be inferred from
a number of his utterances, as
well as from the plans he laid
down for the city which bears
his name. But few of his sue
cessors had his genius for fore
sight and the task of controlling
the helter-skelter individualism
which destroyed forests, bullt
cities on swamps and where rlV-
ers might inundate them, allowed
pests to be brought to our
Shores, destroyed vast herds OF
game and flocks of birds, and
otherwise ran riot over the con-
tinent was too great for any
statesman. The rugged in
dividualism" did indeed build a
mighty nation within a period OF
limited time and to a degree OF
achievement unparalleled in all
history; but the swiftness of it
has left a ragged" civilization
whose present-day problems
transcend those presented to
Daniel Boone or John c. Fire.
