new FEATURE
OF COMMODITY
CREDIT CORPOR.

Continuing their work of extending
full short-term agricultural credit to
farmers who have need for such SER
vices, the production credit associa-
tions in the Second Farm Credit Dis
trict have rounded out their services
further by adding the new feature of
qualifying themselves to handle loans
on stored wheat and cotton under the
program of the Commodity Credit
Corporation, it was announced today
by M. o. Wilson, President of the
Production Credit Corporation of Bal
timore.
Under this newly adopted plan,"
Mr.. Wilson said, "the associations are
qualified to lend to wheat farmers
who own Class A or B stock, or who
purchase at least one share of stock
in the association. Interest is charg-
er at the rate of per cent and there
are no fees or other charges connected
Herewith. Under this arrangement,
comparatively little wheat has been
associations have shown their adapt
ability to meet the requirements of
farmers for short-term credit needs
and have qualified themselves to eX-
tend loans on wheat stored under the
Commodity Credit PLAN"
The plan affecting cotton is not
yet in effect in this section, Mr.. Will
son stated. However, it is contemp-
lated that associations in the district
who operate where cotton is produced
would qualify and prepare to operate
under this plan. "Full details of this
part of the program cannot be an
nounced at this time, but those farm
ers who have cotton and who anti
cipate storing it would be we'll adj
vised to see or communicate with the
secretary-treasurer of the production
credit association in his territory"
Mr.. Wilson said.

syringe in Clarence's big hand and small
pail containing dark brown liquid on three
legged stool beside him. Clarence was ex-
postulating with considerable vehemence.
They did not hear Kewpie approach on the
soft turf They did not know that he poured
the contents of the tin can into the pail con-
tanning that old reliable cold remedy known
the nation over as Uncle Joe's Cough Syrup.
Don't you worry. Mr.. Dodge" Clarence
said confidently. when it comes to bulls
you can depend on me-
Dodge shook his head.
1T isn't that don't think you know what
you're doing my boy. You've shown me that
YOU do But McGurk's Bovinal has been
pretty dependable, and Beelzebub must be
ready for the show next week"
Hell be there, MIR. Dodge Clarence said.
Nov Ill just slip in there and give him a
shot of my remedy. It's specific for this
particular condition. sir.
Kewpie coughed.
"Uh excuse me, Mr.. Dodge, but I've
been making a study of bulls too. sir. - uh
- would recommend either Bovinal as you
suggested or whiskey and quinine.
Kewpie found himself being looked down
upon by two pairs of eyes. In Jasper Dodges
eyes he saw surprise. In Clarence O'Shaughn-
essy's dislike. "You have been studying bulls,
Van Ingham:" Kewpie's employer said
kewpie nodded. Yes. sir. In the plural,
bulls - and in the singular, bull" kewpie
looked defanty at Clarence OShaughnessy.
Some people never get beyond the singular.
For Just an instant Kewpie saw the hard
look of murder in O'Shaughnessy's face.
Then that large young man turned and pulled
the syringe full of brown liquid from the pail.
You'll see how this soothes old Beelzie,
