Bach as has been develop ed tor the beaelt of farmers in cer tain foreign counties. The substi tution of comin unity credit for in dividual credit is what always re duces rates of interest. Cities bor row their money at lower nates of Intefast than Individuals because they alt as a community. Follow ing Is ah extract from Mr. Welliver’s article showing the rates of interest farmers pay in this country- at the present time. "Recently the Department of Agri culture Investgated Inf-rest fates paid by farmers all over the country. It was found, through statements made by several thousand banks in answer to qu-sttons. that on all loans to farmers, secured and unsecured, the average rates run from a trifle - ofTtfer - six per cent, in most.of New England. New York. Pennsylvania and New Jersey, up to 10.57 per cent. In Oklahoma. 10.57 in New Mexico. 10.15 in Arizona. 10.13 in Montana. 10.70 in North Dakota. 9.97 In Texas. 9.48 in South Dakota. 9.98 in Geor gia, 8.80 jn Fiordia. 8.23 in Ohio, 6.47 in Indiana 6.31 -» Illlnils. 6 in Michigan. 6.24 in Wisconsin. 7.93 in MFTmeeota. 7.21 in Iowa, 7.28 In Missouri. 6.86 in Kentucky. 8 28 In Louisiana, 9.67 in Arkansas. 9.37 in Wyoming. 9.24 in Colorado. 8 61 in t'tah. 9.03 in Nevada. 9.92 in Idaiio, 8.99 in Washington, 8.32 In Oregon and 7.44 in California. "Broadly banks accommodate their Interest rate with reference to the average balance the borrower'ipSv be expected to carry in the bank. A borrows $10,090 for aioety days. Its experiencs with that man Justifies the hank is ex porting that his dally balances throughout that uinoty-day period will average $!!••.00; therefore It shades the rats of Interest to him. But a farmer borrowing money is likely to take the entire amount away in hb wallet, and to maintain a mighty soldiportant balance dur ing the period the loan haa to run; then he will sell a bunch of hogs, cattle or a bin of wheat, and with the proceeds pay the loan. Because of such conditions, the farmer must of necessity pay higher rates for hia money because, it might be said, he uses It harder.*’ YOUR HOUSE SHOULD CONTAIN the best grades of ' YELLOW PINE LUMBER Our reputation for years of selling only the best is your protection in buying from us SASHES DOORS BLINDS ROOFING BUILDERS MATERIALS always in stock. EgTATE OF ♦ y e. a SAVAGE * Keeping Out The Katw In the current Issue of Farm and Fireside appears a department en titled "The Headwork Shop” in Vh;rh various contributors report "handy kiftks that will save you time and labor.” Following is a contri butor’s account of how one mar. fought the rats: "A Wisconsin farmer estimated that fdi years the rats got from flf- teen’to thirty bushels of barley every season from bis granary. He tried every* known way to get rid of the rats, hut failed. He tried every sea son to stop all th n rat-holes, but still they gnawed through. ' "Last year, while putting concrete floors in his barns and granary, it oc curred to him to make his granary ratproof. "On the wall* of his granary he tacked laths perpendicularly, a foot apart. Over thes« he stretched and tacked chieked-wire. Then put on a coat of cement about an inch thick. The chicken-wire holds the cement until it hardens. H“ now has a solid cement granary, unleakable and rat- proof. 'fhe cost was insignificant." rag/gmggcQf *ul» * Prices Beat THE Prices .
