Seed, Feed and Production Loans
The following is the outline of the
government credit policy, as prepar
ed by Prof. William Firor, of the
State College of Agriculture.
A New Plan For 193. The (Fed
eral) Farm Credit Act of 1933 crea
ted anew government supervised
production credit system. Direct
loans from the U. S. Department of
Agriculture are to be discontinued.
Under the President’s executive
order of March 27, 1933, the respon
sibility for making and supervising
seed loans and crop production loans
was transferred from the Department
of Agriculture to the Farm Credit
Administration. Seed loans and crop
production loans made through the
Seed Loan Office and the Crop Pro
duction Loan Office of the Depart
ment of Agriculture will be gradual
ly liquidated and the affairs of these
offices will be wound up.
The purpose is obvious. Farmers
who have come to depend upon di
rect loans from the government
should familiarize themselves with
the facts of the new government
production credit system. Briefly
outlined, this new system is as fol
lows:
1. The Federal Farm Credit Ad
ministration will set up 12 regional
Why the Sudden
Change to Liquid
Laxatives?
Doctors have always recognized the
value of the laxative whh'se dose can
be measured, and whose action can
be controlled.
The public, too, is fast returning
to the use of iiauid laxatives. People,
have learned that a properly pre
pared liquid laxative brings a perfect
movement without any discomfort
at the time, or after.
The dose of a liauid laxative can
be varied to suit tne needs of the
individual. The action can thus be
regulated. It forms no habit; you
need not take a "double dose” a day
or two later. Nor will a mild liquid
laxative irritate the kidneys.
The wrong cathartic may keep you
constipated as long as you keep on
using it. *
Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is a
prescription, and is perfectly safe.
its laxative action is based on senna
—a natural laxative. The bowels will
not become dependent on this form
of help. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
is at all druggists. Member N. R. A.

Production Credit Corporation of
Columbia, Columbia, S. C. has been
organized to serve the farmers of
North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia and Florida. (Note the
name.)
2. The Production Credit Corpora
tion will be an organizing, supervis
ing, and holding company—it will
buy stock of the local production
credit associations.
3. Local cooperative credit associa
tions are provided for. These asso
ciations are to make the loans to
farmers and are to take over the
work done by the production loan
office last year and the seed loan
office previously.
4. Farmers who borrow from the
production credit associations will
buy stock in these local associations.
5. The local production credit as
sociation will sell two kinds of stock
—Class A and Class B. The Produc
tion Credit Corporation has the pow
er to buy the Class A stock thereby
becoming a holding corporation. The
Class B stock will be bought only
by farmers who are borrowers or in
tend to become borrowers. Only
Judders of Class B stock will be en
titled to vote. Farmers nmy also buy
Class A stock.
G. Borrowers through production
credit associations are required to
own Class B stock equal to $5.00
for every SIOO or fraction thereof
borrowed from the association.
7. Ten or more farmers who desire
t<> borrow money through this new
production credit system of the gov
ernment may organize such an as
sociation and apply to the Governor
of the Farm Credit Administration
for a charter.

Dry Formaldehyde Method of Treat
ing Oat* for Smut
The advantage of this method of
treating oats is that it does not swell
the oats so as to affect the rate of
planting. Those who use it should re
member that it requires careful at
tention to details in order to avoid
injuring the seed. That is true of the
wet method also. This method of
treatment is not recommended for
wheat.
THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
One pint of formaldehyde is suf
ficient to treat 40 to 50 bushels of
oats.
The equipment necessary is a small
spray pump that will hold one quart
or one pint, which usually cost from
40 to 50 cents at the stores, and a
shovel to turn over the grain while
spraying.
Put the formaldehyde in the spray
pump and add just as much water
as there is formaldehyde. Spray the
oats with this mixture, making about
one stroke of the pump on each
shovel full of seed as they are turn
ed over. When completed each seed
should be slightly damp with the for
maldehyde but not wet.
When spraying is completed pile
the oats and cover with sacks or
something that will keep the gas from
escaping. Leave covered from two to
four hours, then spread to air for
two hours or more, before sacking
or planting. If the oats are sacked
after treating the sacks should be
sprayed to prevent reinfestation. It
is better to plant soon after treating.
Still Time to Sow Clover and Peas
There is nothing more important
on the farm than the improvement
of the soil and there is no means of
doing this more economical or more
efficient thant planting legume crops
for green manuring. There are a
few days still when sowing these
crops will be safe enough to justify
even large plantings.
With the season now in the ground
it will probably pay to cover your
clover seed and you can use the clean
seed where you can cover them. The
peas of course should always be cov
ered, and they can be planted later
than the clover.
There are supplies of peas and
clean clover seed at hand so that
you will not have to wait for them.
Get your seed now, and do not fail
to get a seed patch of clover if you
do not plant any more than that.

HOUSING ... an endorsement
There is one announced program
of the Federal Administration to
which I can heartily subscribe. There
are others, but I have in mind the
idea of Government aid for the re
building of the “slum” dwellings of
the cities and the development of
“subsistence farms” for many city
folks who, under our present indus
trial system, are unable to survive
when off the payroll, except by char
ity.
I know an increasing number of
men who have found their way to
self-support in the depression by
getting hold of a piece of land with
some sort of a house on it and so
managing to get by, even when un
employed for two or three years.
But most city workers haven’t the
means or the knowledge now to
adopt that method of self-support.
They have to be taught and to be
financed; but unless Government
does that, we shall never have a per
manent solution of our most impor
tant social problem, that of unem
ployment.
HORRORS of war
We speak of the horrors of war.
but few moderns realize what a de
vastating effect the wars of ancient
times had.
It was only about three hundred
years ago, when the early colonists
were beginning to settle America,
that the Thirty Years War ravaged
Germany until the population was
reduced from 24,000,000 to less than
4,000,000. Not all were killed in war,
oi' course; most died of starvation.
Utter lawlessness prevailed outside
of the fortified cities. No person’s
life was safe, and canibalism was
actually practiced, according to
James W. Gerard, former United
Slates Ambassador to Berlin. Hu
man flesh was even exposed for sale
in the markets of Heidelberg in 1648,
said Mr. Gerard in a recent publish
ed statement! Polygamy was legaliz
ed, to repopulate the land speedily.
Ambition and religion were at the
root of the Thirty Years’ War. We
are hardly likely to have another
great war over religion, but ambi
tion may promote one at any time.
FORESIGHT . . . for humans
I never cease to marvel at the
foresight of the little beasts and birds
in storing up food for the winter.
Just now the red squirrels and the
bJue-jays are fighting daily in the
big oak-tree in my fence-line, each
trying to get all the acorns in sight.
I’ve never found out where the jayj
hide theirs; they fly southward
toward the woodlot and come back
quickly for more, so they probably
have a hollow tree for storage place.
But I discovered the red squirrels’
hoard the other day in a corner of a
disused barn loft, behind a pile of
lumber and junk. There was at least
a bushel of acorns and hickory-nuts
laid away for winter fodder.
Too bad human beings can’t be as
forehanded as the squirrels. We are
too dependent upon artificial sources
of clothing and shelter to get our
living by our bare hands alone, in
these latitudes.
If science needed any further
pi oof that primitive man must have
inhabited the tropical regions of the
earth, where shelter and clothing are
unnecessary and food grows pro
fusely, our helplessness in northern
climates ought to furnish it.

Cotton Farmers
of State To Get
13 Million Fund
CBy Georgia Newspaper Alliance.)
Athens, Ga.—Georgia cotton far
mers have profited by acreage re
duction.
In addition to receiving as much
for their 1933 crops as they did foi
their 1932 crop, they will get approx
imately $13,000,000 in federal mon
ey for their 1933 crop, it was reveal
ed by Harry Brown, extension direc
tor of the University of Georgia
system.
Since pegging of the price by the
government at 10 cents is based up
on willingness of the farmers to re
duce their 1934 acreage up to 40
per cent, based on a 5-year produc
tion average, Mr. Brown looked for
little trouble in getting the Georgia
farmer to sign.
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1933
“The Georgia farmer is willing
to go the limit to back up President
Roosevelt in any plan he advanced
for helping agriculture, but our far
mers want teeth in all agreements ta
assure them that when they agree to
cut their acreage thy’ll know that
their neighbor will do likewise,” he
said.
SAYS TEXTILE FIRMS
THRIVING UNDER CODE
(By Georgia Newspaper Alliance)
The textile industry is thriving un
der the provisions and conditions laid'
down under the code the industry
has been operating under, members
of the Cotton Textile Institute were
told at their eighth annual meeting
by George A. Sloan, president.
He stated that employment figures
in the industry were “back to pre
depression levels” and that payrolls
had doubled since early in March.
