FARMERS CARRY UNJUST HANDICAP Terms on Which They bor row Money too High. RURAL CREDIT BANKS URGED Insurance Company's Experience Shows Soundness of Farm Mortgages. In his letter to the governor of the states asking for their co-operation In securing remedial lawe for the farm ers of the country President Taft said: The twelve million farmers in the United Statos add each year to tne Na tional wealth $8,400,000,000. They are doing this on a borrowed capital of $6.040,000,000. On this sum they pay annually Interest charges of $510,000, 000. Counting commissions and re newal charges, the Interest rate paid by the farmers of this country Is 8 1-2 per cent, as sompared to a rate of 1 1-2 per cent, paid by the farmer, for instance, of France and Germany. * The subject of rural credits was the most important discussion at the re cent conference of the governors at Richmond; but on account of the fre quent eruptions of Gov. Bleaso of South Carolina and the valuable time wasted on him It failed of that care-1 ful consideration It deserved. What Is needed Is a system of agricultural co operative credit In this country. There j appears to be general agreement upon' this point. It is needed in all the. States, adapted to the varying condi tions obtaining in the several States.) It is particularly needed in the South.I as Gov. O'Neal of Alabama showed in his exhaustive paper on the subject.) Notwithstanding the fact that the crop! values have Incrensed 1118 per cent, in jthe South Atlantic States, as compared with an Increase of 56 per cent, in the Central Western States, the farmer in that part of the country Is "still con fronted with the old problem of agri cultural credits" and is still paying enormous tribute to the agencies which control the money or credit of the na tion. In Alabama, and in the South generally, the farmer of limited means is forced to resort to crop liens or chattel mortgages to obtain the credit necessary for the prosecution of his work, with the result that his nose is always to the grindstone, although as the result of his labors under these distressing conditions he adds yearly to the productive wealth of the coun try In one crop alone well above $1, 000,000,000. As It is with the cotton growers of the South, so It also is with the wheat and corn growers of the West. There is the same cry and the same necessity all around for the means with which to do business. ? Yet such have been the conditions under which the farmers have been iompelled to do business that they have had to pay enormous interest charges. With property worth three times Its mortgagon indebtedness, some way ought to be found for the deliverance of the farmers of Alabama and all other similarly situated farm ers from the exactions of the usurers, nnd that way It is believed the rural credit banks would provide. No oth er business In the world could have stood the strain that has been plac ed upon the farmers of this country who feed us all. The objection to land mortgages as security for loans made from the banks is not In respect of value, but In respect of their Imme diately realizable quality or liquid ity. They are worth the loans made upon them, but they are not readily convertible Into cash. and. lacking this negotiable quality, they have not been sought generally by the institutions which arc required by the nature of their business to made rapid changes ot their securities into cash. This difficulty It Is expected to overcome by the establishment of rural credit banks and as the security will he good there Is little doubt that the plan will be worked out In this country as it has been worked out in other lands to the advantage of the farmers and with out injury to the bankers.?New York Times.

Famous Craft Was Launched In 1797, and Fought Against French Pri vateers and Through War of 1812. Newport, H. I.?The frigate Constel lation. Truxton's gallant old ship, which cleaned the Atlantic of Kreuch privateers and struck the colors of many a hostile craft In the War of 1812, lies off Newport, lt. L, In very poor condition. Many patriotic so cletles are pressing the navy depart* mont to see to it that she Is pic served. The Constellation Is now used us a receiving ship, but she soon will be taken out of commission ami brought to Annapolis. The navy department has no money to rebuild her old hulk, and unless a patriotic sentiment de mands her preservation the once mag niflcent old frigate will become a rot ting wreck of old timbers and moss. The Constellation was built by David Stodert at Baltimore and launched September 7, 1797. She was 161 feet long, forty-foot beam, 1,266 tons and cost $314,212, She carried twenty-eight twenty-four-pounders in tho main deck battery and twelve twelve-pounders on the spar deck, in June, 1798, she sailed under command of Capt. Thomas Truxton for a cruise botween Cape Henry and the coast of Florida. In August she, In company with the Baltimore, convoyed a flcol of ?lxty merchant vessels In safety from Havana to the United states. On February 9, 1799. the Constella tion captured tho French frigate In surgente. In January, 1800, she sailed for the Island of Quadaloupe, which was the headquarters of tho French priva teers, and on February I, 7:::o a. to., she gave chase to the French frigate Vengeance. After chasing the outire day she came within hailing at 8 p. m, and for four hours there was a lively fight, the Constellation losing her mainmast, every shioud being shot away, in the excitement tho French slip escaped In the darkness, and the Consttdl.ition was obliged to make her way to Jamaica to relit. Under the command of Capt. Alex ander Murray she was sent to tho Mediterranean during the war with the Barbnry powers In the squadron of Commodore H. V. Morris In January, 1813, she sailed from Washington under command of Capt, Charles Stewart, nnd dropped down to Hampton Roads, only to find such a strong force of British ships block adlng as to make it impossible to get to sea, and was shut In during tlu st Irring years of this war with Great Britain. The Constellation was at the Ports mouth navy yard until March, lvi'-2, when she was sent to tho Mediter ranean under command of Commo dore Henry K. Thatcher, where she remained for the next two years. From 1865 to 1 v?'?7 she was receiving ship at Norfolk, and from 1867 t<> 1870 receiving ship at Philadelphia. In 1871 she was practice and gunnery ship at Washington, and then sent to tho naval academy at Annapolis. For several years she has been re ceiving ship at the Now port Btatlon, TO ELECTRIFY A SCHOOLROOM New York Board of Education Will Try Swedish Scheme to Get Extraordinary Results. New York.?
