Washington.?Since the farm loan board has designated the 12 cities where ine tai.ii ioun bunks-are to be located, well posted agriculturists are asking the questions whether the peoptc will take proper advantage of this wonuerfui governmental agency which hsy been established for their benefit. European nations took the lead in this matter ami what tnev have ar complishcd is^ sufficient evidence of the value of readily accessible agricultural credit, based upon rea< estate values, of which there is none better. One of the most important ti..u?a tying factors 01 Geiiiiany'o strength is the thoroughly org..n,zc ? s.. sto.i. of rural credits, which en ao.es a man to develop his pi\ p rt.\ to tile uta.ost, thus ulil.z.ng tla lands of tlie empire to the hem pos i m:e advantage. Tr.3 general use of the rural credit system in the United States can not do othei than work wonders.

The r :-\v bunks, when put into operation aid when the farmers begin to patronize them as contemplated, must roan money in the farmer's pocket and the farmer will come autonjatieally in closer touch with his neighbor through the medium of the loan associations forming- all over the country. The new system must necessarily, take a little time to be perfected. In some communities farmers may he backward and maybe a little suspicious of this new governmental agency, which has been both conceived and placed upon the statute books tor their sole benefit but in time ? .

THKKK PACKING COTTON VERY IMPORTANT Traffic Expert Calls Attention to Trouble of Different Sizes. t Savannah, Ga.?In a letter sent :ach member of the Georgia legislaure and over 200 newspapers h rough out the State Frank Wilby, i'.y traffic manager here, urged sup mrt for a law regulating gin boxes n the State for compressing cotton. The letter in part reads: "For many years an effort has seen made by the cotton growers, :otton buyers and exporters to improve packing conditions of cotton md to stop complaints of European importers who allege bad conditions if American cotton on arrival in foreign countries. "A recent investigation shows a - .mctj ncm improvement in packing of cotton. In 1913 bales ranged from 56 to 78 inches in length u ul .9 to 38 inches in width. Those i ft. ular sizes prevented rgeularity of packing for storage in ships. In 191(1 a very large preeentage of cotion is moving in regular sized bales, vhieh after compression does not vxcced 30 inches in width and (50 nches in length. "These improved conditions have :or secured by constant effort and it the expense of the progressive V.'T.icrs, ginners, compressors, buys an.l exporters in conjunction 1th s'-.'p interests of the several xr's. 11 "It hps been mggested that the egi* Mturo of 1917 adopt a law requiring gin boxes to be uniform in size 27x54, and that the enfcivemo i: i> me law be placed under the department of ajricultui e, , PROTECT TUP iiW Dfc.UK fi KEU U il UUI\ V FROM THE COLO Cic.vsoi College, S.
