When congress, through the farm
credit act of 1888, provided farmers with
machinery to develop their own system
for financing crops and livestock the in
tention was not merely to fill the emer-
gency need at that time, but to build
a permanent organization ready to serve
all future needs
This is the reminder that comes from
John A. Schoonover, president of the
Production Credit Corporation of Spo-
kane which is unit of the 18th dis
trict Farm Credit administration super
vising the 30 local farmer-owned and
directed production credit associations
now serving every county in the north
west
1T will be recalled" says Mr.. Schoon-
over, that when the peas were or
gained last spring they were about
the only source Of credit the farmer
could turn to for financing this sea-
sons crop and livestock operations. The
associations met this need by advancing
approximately 100000 to farmers, in
addition to purchasing and carrying
more than s7,OO0,O0O of farmers and
stockmen's notes originating with the

MONTANA FARMERS ALLOWED
TO RAISE MORE HOGS

BOHEMIAN. Nov 27-An allotment
about one-fifth larger than this year
is authorized under the hog control
provisions of the 1885 corn-hog adjust
ment program, according to an an
nouncement received by the Montana
Extension Service from the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration. The indi-
vidial contract signer will be asked
to hold the number Of hogs produced
for market from the 1885 litter to 90
per cent of the adjusted averaee num-
Der produced from 1882 and 1888 litters,
instead of rs per cent as provided in
the 1884 contract.
Participating producers will receive
a hog adjustment payment of SIS a head
on the number of hogs represented by
the 10 per cent adjustment One-half
of this payment, $3.50, will be made
upon acceptance of the contract by the
Secretary of Agriculture, and the final
payment, less the contract signer's pro
rata share of local administrative ex-
pense. will be made on or about Jan
|, 1886.
The program again is voluntary and
will operate through the community
committees and county control associa-
tons The adjusted production figures
established by the county allotment
committees this year will serve as the
basis for 1885 adjustments and pay
ments.

Regional Agricultural Credit corpora


ton.
In obtaining this credit through
their local PEA, borrowers have in
vested per cent of their loan in its
class B stock, thereby permitting a
low rate of interest Now that many of
these loans are being liquidated, bor-
rover members have wondered about
the status of their stock. I am glad
to say that by careful management
on sound business basis associations
will end the year with no impairment
of capital, and class B stock held by
borrowers is, therefore in sound posi-
ton
While the law provides that bor-
rowers may sell their stock to other
eligible borrowers when their associa-
ton loan is liquidated, it is our feeling
that such sale Of stock would be short
sighted BY retaining this stock, the
farmer holds open his line of credit
with his association for future borrow
ing on the same favorable terms-pay-
ing only for the actual amount he uses
from time to time on budget basis
that fits his needs.
Just as cooperative marketing has
demonstrated its value in distributing
farm products after they have been
produced, farmers are also beginning
to see the advantage of applying The
cooperative principle to their produce
ton financing. This. is being accom-
plished through the production credit
associations No farmer, however,
would think Of cashing in his stock in
his cooperative marketing association at
the end of each harvest season The
same thing should apply to Pea stock.
The Pea is an agency for permanent
financing service deserving the sup
port of all farmers"
In establishing the associations, the
Production Credit Corporation of Spo-
kane subscribed approximately rs per
cent of their original capital, with Dor
rowers putting up the remainder. This
capital is invested in government bonds
and the associations draw full earnings
on the entire amount--both that sub
scribed by the corporation and that
supplied by the borrowers This is Civ
ing the association an important addi-
ton to their revenue.
Funds loaned by the association do
not, however, come out of this capital,
nor is government money loaned. The
associations discount their borrowers
notes through the Federal intermediate
Credit Bank Of Spokane which in turn
obtains its money from the sale of
short-term debentures in the open
market While the Production Credit
corporation exercises general supervi-
sion over the associations, they stand
on their own feet as local institutions,
ever ready to finance their members
for all sound purposes the. year around,
in easy" month times or tight"

FORTHCOMING FARM CENSUS
OF UNUSUAL IMPORTANCE

Among the important governmental
activities undertaken primarily for the
benefit of the farmer is the Census of
Agriculture, which will be taken begin
ming January 2, 1885. The reports viii
be for the calendar year 1884. %
The accuracy of the information pro-
cured will be directly reflected in the
statistical work carried on in the farm
ers' behalf Intelligent business methods
must be applied in the successful oper-
alton of farms in this day and age and
these methods will fail unless farmers
and farm organizations have accurate
knowledge of actual conditions in vari-
Gus sections of the country. For ex-
ample, it is useless to increase the pro-
duction Of any crop if the figures show
there is overproduction of that crop
Every farmer and rancher should
write Immediately to the Bureau of the
Census, Washington, d. c., for one of
the sample schedules so that they will
have an opportunity to study the ques-
tions and be prepared to give full and
accurate information when the enum-
orator calls at their home in January,

DECEMBER BIRTHDAYS.

Persons born in December are SIN
cere, frank, humane, sociable and be-
nevolent. They are likely to be influ-
enced by their friends. There may be
a tendency to act impulsively and speak
hastily. Although fond OF change and a
bit restless they are able to complete
lengthy and difficult tasks. They love
liberty and freedom and dislike being
ordered about or driven. They are hon.
orable and have keen foresight. They
speak decisively and always aim TO
come to the point They are intuitive
and prophetic and have no patience
with beating around the bush. They
do not use unnecessary words and are
economists of time and energy They
accomplish much while others are
meditating and weighing matters. They
are great lovers of the out-of- doors;
consequently many great athletes are
born in this month. They are philo-
sophical and respecters OF religion but
seldom have one Of their own
