Farm Warehousing Possible In
Morgan County
The Cambridge, O., Production
Credit association will lend money
to farmers at 40 interest per. an
mum up to 55 cents per bushel, on
marketable corn, husked in the
ear. stored and sealed on the farm
and which will grade No. four or
better when shelled, according to
announcement of J. K. Craig, sec'y-
treas Eve have been advised by
the Production Credit Corporation
of Louisville that commodity loans
on corn may be made by our Pro-
duction Credit association at 4 20
per annum interest rate, rather than
800 as paid on the regular loans,
by reason of an arrangement
whereby the Commodity Credit Cor
poration agrees to purchase the
loans should this be desired by the
Cambridge Production Credit asso-
citation. Producers are required to
keep the stored and sealed corn in
sured against fire, lightning, storm
and hail damage for an amount not
less than amount of the loan and
accrued interest. This is for bene-
fit of the producer himself and of
holder of the note, as their respec-
tive interests may appear. The reg
ular voting stock ownership requir-
ed of all Production Credit associa-
tion borrowers will be maintained
in making these corn loans, stated
Mr. Craig This means that acqui-
sition of SIS in voting stock of the
association for each 500 Or frac-
tion thereof of the loan, is required
of the borrower Where the pro-
ceeds of the corn Loan are to be
used to pay a debt, the association
stock already held may be used as a
basis for the new loan against stored
corn. Should amount of earn loan
ditional stock will be acquired by
borrower to cover difference. Funds
| for association lending on stored
corn are derived from direct loans
to the association by the Federal
Intermediate Credit Bank Of Louis
vile, with the producers.
Gull and Treat Your Sheep
With feeds for winter scarce and
| high in price in many sections of
| the state, sheep men will find it
profitable to Gull their focks more
| closely than usual, according to L..
! A. Kaufman, secretary of Ohio
| Wool Growers Cooperative associa-
ton. All ewes that are old. brok-
en-mouthed, off type or producers
of poor quality of wool should be
discarded Those that are unsound
| in udder. light shearers or under
| sized, should also be disposed of.
Such ewes bring a very low price,
often returns being scarcely more
| than enough to pay costs Of market
ing. However, if they are kept in
the flock they will not pay for their
maintenance, and feed they consume
can be used to better advantage by
| other sheep Now is time to get the
| flock in condition for breeding sea-
| son. If sheep show symptoms of an
| infestation Of internal parasites,
they should be treated with copper
| sulphate solution. combined drench
of copper sulphate and nicotine sui
| phate or tetrachlorethylene cap
| sules. Sheep that are relatively free
| of such parasites as stomach worms
| hook. nodular and tape worms. will
| go through the winter on much less
| feed and stay in better condition,
| than they will if heavily infested.
| When culling the flock it is also ad-
visable to check sheep carefully to
see that there are no ticks or lice on
| them. A severe infestation of these
parasites will materially lower re-
turns from wool and make it more
| difficult to keep ewes in thrifty
condition When these parasites
are present, sheep should be dipped
with any good dip used according to
directions of manufacturer. Dip
ping should be done before cold
weather, and if possible sheep
should be put through the vat in
the morning of bright warm day,
so they will be thoroughly dry by
night.
| Chinch Bugs in 1885
There are enough chinch bugs in
| Ohio to cause very serious out
break next year. The weather has
been very favorable for them so far.
Cold winter weather cannot hurt
them, as they come from sections
having very low temperatures. If
we have a wet June they will like
ly be brought under control again.
| However, by little planning be-
tween now and the time plowing is
started for corn. some may be able
to protect themselves against this
pest. The planting of corn away
from wheat or oats may make it un-
necessary to bother with creosote
barriers of various kinds next sum-
mer. The latest barrier is made Of
creosoted paper strips set up on
| edge in small furrow.
