VOL. XVIII; No 26.]
Editor (Courier;
I noticed an article some weeks
ago in your paper in regard to the
federal farm loan bank, and I was
very much in hope that some one
would follow it up and call a
meeting, but if such has been done
1 have failed to see it in your paper
Now the facts are that there are
quite a number of people in this
county who could use money to an
advantage at not exceeding six- per
cent interest,'with time to pay up
ranging from five to forty years,
this time being set by the borrower.
It^oes not Hold good in every
case that men borrow money only
because he is involved, for many
men do borrow, or could borrow,
on the terms that these banks will
loan, and make money by properly
investing, and this is one of the
very wise conditions of these loans :
The borrower must use this money
for certain defined purposes and
no other.
I have taken the time and trouble
to get all the rules and regulations
at present available, and have read
and studied them carefully, and
1 cannot see anything in it but
what is fair and right, I call at¬
tention to one great point being
used in connection with the organ¬
isation of local associations which
is detrimental, but is a mistake. It
is this: Some good men claim that
if.a bunch of ten men (and you
can’t organise with less than ten
men) organise and borrow $20,000
(and you can borrow less than $20,
000), being equal to $2,000 each,
and one or more failed to pay, then
the others would be held liable for
The full amount ,$npaid. This is n
mistake. Only fo e per cent of the
amount they borrow is liable.
Clause No. 1 in the articles of all
associations reads as follows :
the event of this association
coming insolvent each stockholder
shall be liable for the debts of the
association not exceeding 5 percent
of the amount borrowed, but there
shall be no other liability of one
member for the debts or obligations
of another,” So you see that if a
mag borrows $2000, and that if any
or all of the balance were to fail,
he would not be held liable for
over $100 00, being 5 per cent of
$2,000.
Jf the people want an organiz¬
ation or association organized, or
want to attend a meeting for this
purpose, I will be glad to attend it
and hear from them generally in
order that I may learn more about
this movement. From information
just received I learn that the money
will be available by April 1st, 1917
and if we are going to do anything
it should be done at once, for the
one following great reason : It may
be that our land title system is not
sufficient at present to warrant the
lending of money, and if tlrs is the
case we should know it at once in
order to have the proper legislation
on it at the next regular session of
the legislature. The Torron land
title system, or any other system of
title registration adopted under
state laws will be sufficient.
There are many questions or
points I couid write about, but will
not say anything further at this
time, as this is a'movement that all
are interested in as well as me.
Yours,
M. J. Williams.

Devoted to the Agricultural, Commercial idustrial Interests of White Counts
Demonstration Agent Advises Planting
of Sudan Grass.
Last year conditions were very
unfavorable and farmers did not
make as much feed stuff as was
needed on the farm for this year
Oats were sown and the extreme
cold of the winter lias about killed
all the oats sown in Hall county.
Farmers are now confronted with a
lack of food for their live stock,
and I he question is how to remedy
this shortage.
In this connection I would like
to say something about Sudan grass
This is a crop tfiat has not been
grown in this territory but a few
years. In growth it resembles John
soh grass, but does not possess the
undersirable qualities of the John¬
son grass. It is an annual plant,
dies down at the end of the grow¬
ing season, has a root growth some
thing like sorghum, and does not
reseed itself. It can be planted and
fertilized as sorghum.
The one point that makes it such
a valuable crop just at this time is
the earliness of the plant and the
number of times it may be cut for
hay or for green forage in one sea¬
son. Sudan grass, planted the latter
part of this month, will be ready to
cut the first tune by latter part of
May or first of June, When cut
down it grows right back, and
several cuttings may be iiad each
season. With favorable weather
conditions we ought to easily get
four or five cuttingR per year in
Hall county. It should be sown in
rows, two and onehalf feet apart,
and well fertilized. Four pounds
of seed will plant an acre, and the
seed can be had for about twenty
cents per pound.
Wbe/e land has been prepared
for oats it would be well to apply
a few loads of stable manure per
.acre, harrow well, lay off rows and
lant in Sudan grass. It makes a
very nutritious hay, and all stock
like it. The hay is of line quality,
and can be easily cut and baled.
I will be glad to advise farmers
further as to the value of this crop
if they will call on me.
