"Yep," chirruped Uncle John, Port
as he dropped in for a short visit, pici
"since we've finished gatherin' wi
our crops we've been a-studyin' wa
up on this new Gov'ment farm be
loan business. Had a meetin' ~or
out at ol' Union the other night S(1
an' discussed it pro an' - con, up piec
, an' down, an' back'ards an' for'
ards. An' 'fore we got through, Co*
we found out that the main lc
, a Li _ __ -1 e -?
iruuoie wnn mosi 01 us wuz mai | ^
we didn't know much about
: how the thing worked. mus
"F'r instance, Sam Sykes, who on
as you may know, is one o' these Hor
i yere all-cotton, time-prices, corn- ?
1 buyin' fellers, 'lowed that he un- 561
i derstood the Gov'ment wuz For
a-lendin' money without securi sU
? ty or maturity, an' he fer one ston
wanted some of it. Another said Mcr
that he knowed they wuz some
trick in it, an' he proposed to For
hold back an' let sombody else
git skinned fust; an' still others ?
obiected to bavin' to take stock For
an' let this stock stand good for In
the other feller's debts. ?~
"But it happened that one o'
the boys brought along one o' H?n
them farm loan pri mers that the dcai
Gov'ment is a sendin' out, an'
we found that it answered Lbout 5 p,
any question any of us could pr
think up. Friend Sykes learned,
instead of it bein' a 'without se- 3 F?
curity or maturity' proposition,
that it was a matter o' business see
from beginnin' to end, an' that if cc
he wasn't willin' to do business
in a businesslike way that he'd 0i<
have to stay out. An' as for thi?
takin' stock an' standin' for the Brt
other feller, that pri mer makes Cot
-it pretty plain that where ordi
nary business sense is used in "*cc
appraisin' there's mighty little For
chance for anybody to have to la^J
dig up because some feller ker- well
flunks in his payments.
"Well," the old man went on, NIrf,
"the upshot of it all wuz that be- difft
fore we adjourned we'd got ourselves
organized, an' by the ledg
time our Uncle Samuel is ready phe
with his land banks in January ba
we propose to be ready, too. CoAn'
let me tell you somethin'," ^
he concluded, "when wp get (5
an' 6 per cent money on long
time an' no commissions, you're p
gona see our ol' neighborhood pQV
wake up an' pick up an' blossom
for fair, I'm for this new rural
credits business an' don't care
who knows it,"?Progressive
