Asks Parity Price and
Low Farm Interest Rates

The legislative battle over the
Farm Credit question, one phase
of which occurred when Secretary
of Agriculture Henry Wallace
spoke at farmers meeting in st.
Paul on April 9th, should not be
permitted to distract attention
from the most important farm
problem facing the nation today
that of restoring farm prices to
levels that will permit farmers to
get out Of debt and stay out of
debt, says E. A. O'Neal, president
Of the American Farm Bureau Fer
Grafton. Reviewing Secretary Wal
lace's st. Paul address, Mr.. O'Neal
said:
II am forced to express regret
at the emphasis the Secretary plac-
ed on disunity between farmers
and between farm organizations
over the question of $40 interest
rate.
IF any disunity exists, it is not
over the lowest possible interest
rates that can be secured on a rea-
sonably sound basis. I know Of no
differences among farm organiza-
tons on this question.

WATCH OUT FOR LATE
SPRING PNEUMONIA

You may have allowed but three
or four chicks per square foot of
floor space in your brooder house
and planned to relieve the crowd
ing that would naturally take place
as your chicks grow by letting
them out on the ground, but If you
should experience a week Of cold,
rainy weather during which the
growing chicks have to be confin-
ed they may develop colds and
pneumonia.
IF you have let the fire in the
brooder stove go out be sure to
light it again. The heat will keep
the house drier, thus preventing
the litter from becoming such a
favorable medium for the growth
Of bacteria. Perhaps you can re-
lieve the crowding by removing the
cockerels, or providing roosts at
the rear of the house, extending
from the floor at the edge Of the
hover to the rear wall at a grad

Crowding at night will not only
cause physical injury to the chicks,

1.-THE American Farm Bureau
Federation assumed leadership to
secure from Congress legislation
providing 3h% interest on land
bank loans, even though the law
had to be passed over the Presi-
dents veto and against the advise
and testimony Of the then governor
Of the Farm Credit administration.
Farmers are now paying $40
interest on land bank loans and
that rate has prevailed since 1885.
1.-THE Secretary expressed grave
concern over what he termed or
go on these loans beginning next
July. That Is hard to understand
in the face of the fact that the low
err house of Congress has already
passed extending the 3h% inter-
est rate for another five years. This
legislation was advocated by and
supported by the American Farm
Bureau, and is now up for Senate
consideration, and I think with
little help from the administration,
its passage will be assured. The
Secretary hoped the spirit Of coop
Grafton could be instilled into the
Farm Credit Administration. Our
organization will not only support
Wallace in this, but will insist that
both the letter and the spirit of
cooperation be established and
maintained throughout.
eff any disunity exists among
farm groups in connection with the
reorganization Of the Farm Credit
administration, it is because of the
vast power and authority which
pending legislation favored by
Secretary Wallace would vest in a
highly-centralized agency. Such
vast authority should not be fixed
in any one individual or any group
of individuals either within or
without the government. The Amer
lean Farm Bureau is strongly in
favor Of Farm Credit being admin
istered by an independent board
Of governors, believing that in the
determination of policies the judg-
ment of five men is better than
that Of any one man-that through
such board the interest Of farm
ers in all sections Of the country
will be better and more impartially
served, and that throughout the
years such board would be more
immune to partisan or sectional
prejudice than could any system
administered by single individual
within a department of govern
ment.
mo one should permit anyone to
distract his attention from the
great necessity Of restoring farm
commodity prices to parity levels
which is the only way to enable
farmers to get out of debt and to
stay out of debt.
Throughout the years the Amer
lean Farm Bureau has centered
and will continue to center its at
tention upon all reasonable meth
DDS Of restoring parity prices, at
the same time using all its influ-
ence to keep farm loan interest
rates at $40 or even lower should
conditions warrant" -

in. Ordinary colds such as are
evidenced by watery discharge
from the eyes and nCstrils may
develop into more serious compli-
cations also, particularly II steps
are not taken to relieve the condi-
ton in it's earliest stages.
You may have sprayed your
chicks diligently when they were a
week old, and discontinued the
practice after you had safely brot
them through the first weeks of
their lives, but in all periods of
Indictment weather it is well to re-
sumo spraying with a stimulating
antiseptic containing healing oils
whose capors pass into the nasal
passages and bronchial tubes and
thereby relieve difficulty in breath
ing. Spray as often as necessary
to relieve any nasal discharge,
shifting, watery eyes, or visible
difficulty in breathing such as is
evident in advanced colds and
pneumonia.
Since the colds that spread rap
idly throughout a flock of chicks
are undoubtedly quite contagious,
there is another ready medium for
the spread of the disease germ re-
sponsible for it, and that is the
drinking water. Since all Of the
chicks visit the same drinking
fountains it Is important that you
check the growth of the organisms
at this point also. Obtain a reli-
able drinking water medicine that
will not lose its effectiveness in the
presence Of organic matter. If you
obtain such a medicine it will not
be reduced by the digestive pro-
cesses of the chicks and it is more
reasonable to assume that it will
carry on its work in the intestinal
tract.
The close relationship between
colds and digestive disturbances
makes it advisable to treat them
both. If the respiratory tract can.
not carry on its share OF the body
functions, then the burden falls up.
