Just What to Do Now.
It may be nearly six months
before the federal farm loan
board announces the 12 federal
land bank districts and establish
es one government land bank in
some one city in each district.
The application for charter for a
farmers’ local mortgage borrow
ing club, which the federal law
calls a national farm loan associa
tion, must be addressed to the
land bank for your district. It
will then investigate, and if it
finds the applicants satisfactory,
the land bank will recommend
the federal farm loan board at
Washington, 1). C., to issue the
charter. So soon as the local
bank has received such charter,
it may proceed to do business di
rect with its land bank.
Meanwhille, however, and
without waiting for all the above
described technicalities to be
completed, farmers in any com
munity, county or state, can go
right ahead and form the prelim
inary organization of their local
bank. We are now preparing
the papers for this purpose. It
contains the blanks for signa
tures for the desired loans, and
further directions. By making
such an informal start, farmers
anywhere may organize their lo
cal bank at once, may hold meet
ings to discuss the subject, may
acquire a thorough working
knowledge of the whole system,
may get additional members, may
choose their directors, officers
and loan committee, etc.
Thus they will be in shape to
proceed to do business and get
loans, immediately upon receipt
of official charter to be issued as
above described. All this pre
liminary work of education and
organization may be done in ad
vance, instead of having to do it
after charter is secured. Then
the formalities can be quickly
and correctly compiled with. The
local bank then can begin making
loans, instead of taking a long
time to acquire what it previous
ly learned. .Just send stamps for
postage to Orange Judd Southern
Farming, Atlanta, Ga., for its
preliminary outfit for organizing
a national farm loan association.
Doit now if you have not al
ready started the job, brother
farmers. .1. E. McCullough in

No Use of Arms
But Uses Typewriter.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 30.—Writ
ing on a typewriter with a stick
held between his teeth is the
marvelous feat performed by
Iteder Fuller, a cripple in the
Home for Incurables in this city,
who was foiindj an infant in the
woods where his parents deserted
him, and where ants and other
insects almost ate him alive, so
that during his whole life he has
had no use of his arms and legs.
Now a n.an, being twenty
years old, ltedner Fuller is one of
those optimists who puts to shame
with his sunshiny disposition,
and his triumphs over affliction,
the man in good health who is
always complaining of this and
that imaginary trouble.
After several weeks of practice
on his typewriter, which was
given him by the manager of a
local typewriter agency, and
which is specially equipped to
suit his needs. Render has mas
tered the machine and has writ
ten a letter to the newspaper that
printed the story which secured
it for him.
A neutral citizen having re
ported that meals are high in the
German capital, we think it
would be a good idea for him to
come over to America and tell us
what he thinks of conditions
here. —Cordele Dispatch.

Judge Dick Russell favored the
appointment of public officials in
an address some years ago. Af

Hon. W. J. Harris, of the Fed
eral Trade Commission, was in
Macon during the state conven

over the[cheers for Wilson than
he was. He is the “original
Wilson man” in Georgia, and he
was especially anxious for Geor
gia to give ringing endorsement
to the President who has accom
plished so much under such dis
advantages during his term of
office. —Valdosta Times.
We’are still against the county

race for the supreme court bench

a monstrous shame that Col.

We firmly believe that if his
friends had stuck to him and
worked more concertedly in the
convention he would have won
along with Jenkins and George.

Savannah should certainly get
the State railroad if it is extended
to the sea. That city has every
advantage over all competing
points and the peopls down there
say they will donate terminals
and pay for the extra sessions of
the Legislature necessary to put
the move on foot. When those
Savannah folks do go after a
thing they go in the rig*ht way.
Here’s hoping that they will win.

Quite a number of good pure
bred cattle are being brought
into Tattnall county, which is a
sure sign that our people are tak
ing more and more interest in
cattle raising. This, together
with the good hog stock being
brought in, makes it certain that
our people are preparing for the
advent of the boll weevil, and
for any other pest which threat
ens the prosperity of the people
in the production of cotton. Keep
your eyes on this county.—Tatt
nall Journal.
You never can tell what a state
convention will do. That is why
the few who want them have
them—they can run things to
suit themselves. The fact that a
man leads in the popular vote of
the state is no reason why he
may expect the nomination in the
convention, taking the two last
ones as a precedent. Hon. 0. H.
B. Bloodworth, of Forsyth, who
led the race for court of appeals
in the recent election, was de
feated in the convention, one of
the men that was elected being
fifth in the race.—Telfair Enter
prise.
Let us hope that a mechanical
boll weevil picker has been in
vented and that it will do the
work promised by its promoters;
but the best boll weevil picker is
rotation in crops and the tempo
rary abandonment of cotton
planting.-Macon News.

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, OCT. 5, 1916.
Selling Off the Hens.
We learn that in many parts of
the North and West farmers are
selling off their hens to get rid i
of feeding them high priced
grain. At first thought this
might seem like good logic, and a
good thing to do. When we stop
to reason the matter a little we
can see the folly of such a course.
Eggs are higher at this writing
(September) than they have been
for years at this season. They
are 35 cents a dozen at retail tak
ing them just as they come from
the country at random.
We mean this does not include
those for select customers from
selected eggs. Eggs have been j
scarce all summer; are getting
more so all the time. People will
have eggs and poultry products
in reasonable quantities even
though they do go high in prices.
If part of our community gets
scared and sells off their hens it
will surely make good business
for those who have the good
sense and better judgment to
hold on to their usual amount of
stock. Poultry breeders will
need breeding stock if they keep
up their work along that line and
it is mighty poor policy to sell off
good stock that they know all
about at this season of the year
and expect to buy others when
the breeding season comes on.
We hear this plan mentioned.
It is changing a certainty for an
uncertainty, besides paying a lot
more for the uncertainty than j
you received for the certainty. !
In other words one may sell
stock that he knows to be good,
sound and good layers, and when
he buys he may be sadly disap
pointed in what he gets. Even
when the quality is not taken in
to consideration the chances are
ten to one that you will have to
pay double what you are getting
for the stock you are selling.
What would you think of a
farmer selling off his fine team of
mules or horses that he is fully
acquainted with after the fall
work is finished, expecting to
buy again in the early spring
time just because feed is high?
The person who goes right along
with his regular work, regardless
of the little ups and downs in
conditions is the one who wins
out in the end.
Our advice would be to keep a
goodly number of good hens and
pullets for the breeding season,
buy a good incubator if you have
none, and raise a lot of early
chickens. If you have good
hatches and get more hatched
than you can use at home, make
it a point to sell a lot of day-old
chicks. Go at it expecting to
make everything count all down
the line. We are sure this will
pay better than selling off the
stock expecting to buy later.
Good hens well cared for will pay
their way all the time even if
feed is a little higher than it has
been. The fertilizer from the
hens is worth a good deal if cared
for and kept dry until needed.—
Southern Ruralist.
