Less Intensive
Feeding Is Way
To Dairy Check
Clemson College, April 7. — By
reducing the grain ration of dairy
iows and feeding more roughage
greater profit majf be made on a
lower milk yield, says C. G. Cush
man, extension dairyman, who
thinks that less intensive feeding
is an effective means, of bringing
about the reduction in output pro
posed in the tentative dairy pro

ment Admifitistration.

BANKING RETURNS

Recovery Movement
Indicating a rapid return on the part
of the hanks to a normal self-sustaining
basis, 54 per cant oT the loans which
they made from the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation to tide them over
the difficulties of the past two years
have, been repaid by them, it is shown
in a recent official report.
The R. F. C. report, issued on March
8, says that the Corporation since it
began operations in February, 1932,
had made aggregate cash advances to
railroads* agricultural and home loan
agencies, insurance companies and va
rious other institutions in the amount
of $4,788,410,000. Of this sum banks
and trust companies, to the number of
6,783, received actual cash advances of
$1,520,540,000, but have already paid
back $820,260,000, or 54 per cent. These
figures are exclusive of.$376,390,000 in
loans authorized but withdrawn or not
availed of by the banks.
Non-banking borrowers received R.
F. C. advances in the amount of $3,265,-
870,000, and made repayments of $377,*
830,000, or less than 12 per cent. Among
other classes of financial institutions
reported as making high ratios of re
payments are building and loan asso
ciations which had received $114,020,-
000 and have repaid $53,880,000, or over
47 per cent, and insurance companies,
whose borrowings totalled $88,590,000
and repayments $34,340,000, or nearly
39 per cent. None of the major non
governmental financial groups showed
so high a ratio of repayments as the
banks and trust companies as a group!

’Greek God** to Co-Eds
Clemson College, April 7. — Re
minding buSy' farmers that spring
care of livestock is important, ex
tension specialists ’ suggest these
pointers:
Animal Husbandry
By all means plant some soy
beans for hog grazing.
Put sows and pigs on territory
where hogs have not been for sev
eral months.
Give sows with suckling pigs all
they will eat of a well balanced ra
tion.
Castrate pigs at six weeks of age ‘
and wean them at eight weeks. \
Dispose of all non-producing
sows. ]
Give lambs grain in a creep, say
five parts of corn to one of cotton- >
seed meal, and have them fat to
market as soon as they average 70
pounds. j
Temper horses and mules which
have been idle to the spring work, 1
and feed oats if available instead
of corn, thus causing fewer cases of
colic.
Dairying
Continue liberal grain ration, to
cows in milk especially. i
Plant plenty of corn for ensilage
and grain for feed for next winter.
Save land for ample soybean or*
peavine hay.
Keep cows off pasture in early ;
April to give pasture good start. .. |
Remove all manure and other
fly-breeding rubbish from barn lots
and premises.
Keep salt boxes in pasture filled.
\ Poultry
Brpod young chicks on clean
ranges and avoid carrying , dis
eases and parasites from old stock
to chicks. * ; I
Peed chicks liberally a well bal
anced ration in clean hoppers.
Select best cockerels for next
year’s breeders.
Keep old hens laying by. provid
ing a laying mash; get more eggs
when prices arc !ow.

a Federal Reserve Bank official
recently gave an interesting review of
tbe experiences of his Institution in
this connection, in 1932 tbe Federal
Reserve Banks Were empowered by
law to make direct loa«s to individuals
in unusual circumstances when they
had been unable to obtain lottos from
a commercial bank, he pointed out.
From the middle of 1932 to the end
of 1933 there were 1,286 applicants for
loans at the New York Federal Reserve
Bank under this law. The great major
ity of these applications proved on ex
amination to be for funds for capital
purposes, which are properly supplied
as an investment in the business, or
else were mortgage loans or others un-
classifiable as commercial.
Only Fourteen Qualify
Only 250, or.less than 20 per cent,
were of the type which merited de
tailed' investigation. The amount In
volved was $9,525,000. After further
study of these, the Federal Reserve
Bank was forced to turn down the ap
plications of 236, finally offering credit
in the sum of $1,417,000 to 14 prospec
tive borrowers. Of this amount, only
$806,000 was actually loaned, more than
one-half of which was still outstanding
many months later. Two of the borrow
ers went into receivership.
“Since it was the special endeavor
of the Federal Reserve Bank to make
every possible loan under the emer
gency provisions of the amendment,
and since their best efforts resulted in
the extension of so small a sum as to
have no effect on the total volume of
commercial loans, it is a reasonable as
sumption that eligible borrowers en
titled to bank credit afe being provided
for by the commercial banks,” says the
American Bankers Asso-va 1 ion Journal
in commenting on this episode.
It is characteristic, as shown by
studies of past business cycles, for
changes in the volume of commercial
bank credit to follow behind either con
traction or expansion of business ac
tivity. says a financial writer in the
New York Times. This was manifest
recently in England's recent recovery
where there was a lag between in
creased business and increased com
mercial loans.

County Key Bankers
Describing the activities of the Agri
cultural Commission of the American
Bankers Association, the Director, D.
H. Otis, says: “With 2,500 agricultural
ly minded bankers, designated as
county key bankers, there is enlisted a
tremendous force for the improvement
of agriculture. These key bankers
bring organized assistance to progres
sive bankers, who are led to see the
possibility of agricultural work in
thsir communities. Banker - farmer
tours are emphasized as A means of
acquainting bankers, farmers and other
business men with first-hand knowl
edge of how agricultural improvement
methods are working ont in practice.
These give an opportunity for the key
bankers to contact country bankers
aiU work out new ideas.”
