At
Farm Credit Administration
Columbia, May i,~g. m. Garwood,
production Credit Commissioner of
the Farm Credit Administration at
Washington, a Columbia visitor today
said that the volume of business done
by the production credit associations
in this district, comprising North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia and
Florida, and in the whole country the
first three months Qf the year was 20
per cent above the first three itfWhs
of last year.
In the country as a whole these associations
loaned farmers over $66,000,000
in January, February and
March of this year, Mr. Garwood said,
the largest amount in any similar period
since the organisations w?re started.
Production Credit Associations
make short-term loans for production,
harvesting and marketing of crops,
and livestock products, breeding of
livestock and general agricultural purposes.
"It is particularly pleasing," said
Mr. Garwood, "to know that the farmers
are taking advantage of the cooperative
production credit system to
help themselves out of debt and that
they are increasing in number every
year to build their own credit system.
The increased volume of business is
not due to the individual farmer borrowing
more money but to more farmers
coming into the system. '
"It is also pleasing to note in this
district that in handling the increased
volume of business there has been
no increase in the expense of the
corporation or the associations."
Mr. Garwood complimented the directors
of the production credit associations
saying that they are doing a
splendid job in making and collecting
loans and that much of the responsibility
for the success of the associations
is due to their efforts. He added
that it is "our continued purpose
to simplify procedure and speed up
Bervice of the borrowers and to place
more responsibility for the operation
of the associations in the directors." '
Many farmers are buying for cash
this year that have not bought for
cash since the depression, Mr. Garwood
said, and he predicted that with
the continued improvement in farm
conditions an increasing amount of
costly time purchases will be shifted
to cash' financing through production
credit associations, banks, and other
Institutions equipped to handle farmars'
short-term credit needs on a business
basis at a reasonable cost and
an terms suited to the industry.

Lights of New York
by L. L. STEVENSON
The past: the ulghl of June 4,
1020, 600 distinguished end well-known
guests, each of whom had received an
Invitation and paid $10, attended the
opening of the Central Park Casino,
which had been taken over by the
Dieppe corporation. That corporation
had ou Its governing board none other
than Anthony J, Drexel Blddle, JrH
Wlliiatn Rhinelander Stewart, Jr? and
Adolpb Zukor, James Walker, then
mayor, was present and so many
nights thereafter that the Casino In
no time at all became known sis "Jimujy
Walker's night club." Society flocked
there and the corporation prospered.
An Investigation conducted some time
after that auspicious opening showed
that in four years It had collected
more than 13.000.000. But' us most
of that great groan came from the
pockets of the rich, there hadn't been
much complaint. Still, there were
those who thought the city should get
mors than $8,500 a yeur as Its share.
The present: Among those who
cherished that thought was Florello U.
LutfUardia, who was making a campaign
for mayor. He charged that the
Dieppe corporation was so greedy that
It even took a percentage' of the waiters!
tips. Besides that, the playground
of the public Central park was
no. place for a swanky euting place,
LaGuardla was not elected that time.
He ran again and was. His choice for
park commissioner was Robert H.
Moses who held ideas similar to those
of bis boss. So he promptly ordered
the Casino to close up. The matter
got Into the courts, the corporation
holding that as the contract didn't expire
until 1030, It intended to stay.
It lost the tirgt decision. Now It has
lost an appeal and the Casino, the
scene of so many brilliant affairs, is
to be torn down to make a playground
for youngsters.
No compromise: The principal complaint
against the Casino concerned
prices charged for food. As a sort
of concession, 8tdney Solomon, suave
manager, offered price reductions. The
cup of coffee that had once cost 50
cents was reduced to 40 cents and the
$4 table d'hote dinner to $3. But Commissioner
Moses couldn't see any -bargain
for the people at those rates and
kept up his tight.

Age in a hurry: * At the Pennsylvania
terminal, your correspondent
overheard an .argument between a
snappily dressed woman who looked
to be well past seventy despite the
work of an efliciftnt beauty specialist,
and two equally snapfriiy dressed
young women, who were apparently 1
her granddaughters. At any rate, the
older woman was all put out because
her family had insisted that she go
down to Florida by train Instead of by
plane I
Fooling chlselers: New York city
policemen who take the examinations
for sergeants now must pay a fee of
$5. Up until a short time ago, there
was no charge. A check revealed that
a lot of cops who took the examinations
really had no hopes of passing
but had discovered that fooling around
with lead pencils and papers for a day
or so was a lot easier than walking
beats. Incidentally, policemen not only
have to buy their own revolvers but
the ammunition they shoot In practice
and at crooks us well.
Factual matter: The reason the great
seal of the^ city of New York bears
two flout; sacks is that once upon a
time focal millers had a monopoly
on bolting all the flour exported from
this country. The reason for the two
beavers is that there was a time when
New York city wus the fur trading
center of the New World.

Noted Engineer On
Famous Record Run
Buffalo, N. Y., May 2.?Forty-three
yearn uko next month Charlie Hogau
drove "Old 999" ut the then unheard
of locomotive Bpeod of 112.6 miles an
hour?and he hasn't talked about It
yet.
Eighty-six now, and still a railroader,
Charlie always changes the subject
when someone asks to hoar his
story of the world-famous run. Reticent
to the point of brusqueness, his
longest comment Is supposed to have
been that "It wasn't much; 1 just
happened to be at the throttle that
day,"
"That day" was May 10, 1893, and
Charlie Hogau was In the cab of the
Empire State Express on a New York
to Buffalo run, which the New York
Central had announced as the first
high speed distance run In America.
The Central wanted to beat the
records of Britain's famous trains. It
built 999, added eight-foot driving
wheels for extra speed, put Hogan
In the cab and announced an average
Bpeed of "better than 60 miles an
hour" would be maintained.
Officials of the line, who were his
passengers, were dismayed when the
Empire pulled Into Syracuse half an
hour, behind schedule, but Charlie
promised he would pull Into Buffalo
on time. He did.
He drove those 160 miles faster
than they ha^d ever been covered hefore,
reaching Buffalo in slightly un
(lor three hours after a atop at Rochester.
He pushed 999 to a world's
spued record to do it.
On the straightaway between Betuviu
and IlulTalo he "opened her up"
and held his top speed of 112.5 miles
an hour for u measured mile- and
became a celebrity in less than 85
seconds. ,'
Old 999 was retired In 1931, after
almost 40 years of service. Five years
ago railroad officials ordered her
hooked on the Empire and asked
Charlie to take the, throttle. When
he brought her Into Uuffalo two minutes
ahead of tlmo, ho looked from
under his shaggy. brows, suld simply
"good" to drive her again and went
back to his desk as manager In the
department of shop labor.
Last year he went to see the Commodore
Vanderbllt, the world's first
stream-lined steam locomotive,. When
he found out he would have no rest
until he said what he thought of It,
he said, "It's great."
Th,e New York Central sayi? Hogan's
112.6 miles an hour has been
surpassed only three times, in 1904
by a Philadelphia 4k Reading train,
which hit 116.2 miles an hour over
a four-mile stretoh; by a Union Par
clflc train which reached 120 miles
In 1934, and by a tier man stream-lined
train timed at 119.1 miles last year.
