THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 1954 THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE THREE Land Bank Head Talks of Credits (By Julian H. Scarborough, Presi dent The Federal Land Bank of Columbia) When the Federal Land Bank of Columbia began making long-term loans on farms more than 35 years ago little was known about con servation of the soil, water control and forest protection. As a con sequence, many farmers lost their farms through soil erosion and were the victims of unscrupulous sawmill operators in the disposal of their timber. Not only did farm ers lose their farms but their creditors sustained heavy losses on them. They became subsistence farms barely providing a living for the owners and could not con tribute anything to the growth of the community. That is the story as told in the loan files of the Columbia Bank over its more than 3% decades of history. It will never be known how many farmers lost their farms because they failed to conserve the soil, control the water and pro tect their forests. In South Caro lina erosion took a heavy toll. The topsoil of many good farms wash ed to sea and it has taken years to rebuild them into productive units for the type of agriculture to which they are best suited. We have learned that long-term credit must be based on well managed farms and forest lands with a sound conservation pro gram. The erosion hazard is rec ognized in the appraisal of farms in determining their loan value. Where it is determined that con servation measures are needed to protect the security for the loan, such measures are imposed at the time the loan is granted. Frequent ly, a portion of the loan proceeds is held in trust and disbursed for needed conservation work. For the past ten years the bank has been recognizing income from forest land in its valuation of farms for loans and in may cases a substantial portion of the loan is based on timber values. In such cases it must be determined that the borrower is following sound forestry practices and is taking reasonable measurers to protect his timber from fire. The soil, water and forest con servation programs have increased the productive value of farms making it possible for the land bank and other farm lenders to extend a greater credit service to a growing agriculture. Many farms could not qualify for long-term loans without a conservation pro gram designed to not only main tain but increase their productiv ity in the future and many others could not qualify for the amount of credit needed to make them better places to farm and live. Long-term credit must be based on durable collateral and farms are durable collateral for long term credit odly when the owners ye following sound conservation practices in their operation. WHAT’S AHEAD IN SUMMER FURNITURE Outdoor furniture for this sum mer will be offered in more sturdy and attractive styles, and the price will be considerbly lower than last year. Designers have tailored many of the items for use out doors in the summer and indoors when winter comes. It’s a good idea to check this feature before buying any new lawn furniture.

Fred and his singing Pennsylvanians, stars of CBS Television’s “Fred Waring Show,” have set a pattern of choral music recognized as tops among millions of television viewers of his Sunday night tele cast series Many viewers, choral directors themselves, have requested specific information on Waring choral techniques As a result. Fred spends his summer vacation teaching them the fine points of preparing better choral programs. At the Waring Choral Workshop, Delaware Water Gap. Pa., ten minutes from Fred’s Shawn ae home, some 700 choirmasters and singing teachers from all over the country this past summer learned the latest techniques in everything from concert choral enunciation to television how-to- do-its During its seven years of operation, more than 4.500 peo ple have attended the unique non profit school—the only one operated by a professional entertainer for teaching trade secrets to directors of non-professional choral groups. LEARNING TONES SYLLABLES Fred estimates each of the vocal pedagogues directs or teaches three or four choral groups of about 75 members each This adds up to some 1,000,000 choral singers throughout the country who have directly or indirectly been in fluenced by Waring choral tech niques And, as the “music teacher’s music teacher” puts it, that’s a lot of noise even in the universal language of music.

YOUR STATE AND MINE T HE weave room of the Lan caster plant of The Springs Cotton Mills is the largest in the world. The weave shed room contains 8,000 looms and the floor space is 716,345 square feet. All of this floor space, al though not on one floor, is under one continuous roof. Col. Elliott White Springs, president of The Springs Cotton I Mills, in a letter to Mr. K. B. Willson, operating manager of National Better Business Bu reau, Inc., dated December 6, 1948, says: “The Springs Cot ton Mills has 270,000 spindles under one roof, which makes it the largest textile plant in the world. We are making an addi tion which will contain 40,000 spindles more.” A recent addition joined No. 2 mill with No. 3 weave shed, thus forming one building under one ^ roof housing 328,444 spindles and 7,861 looms, producing up wards of 6,000,000 yards of cloth per week. The Springs Mills is the pro ducer of the famous Springmaid fabrics. PRESIDE! CAPITAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY “Founded oh Foith—Dedicated to Service” COLUMBIA, S. C. Prosperity Items Mrs. W. O.

I was using a tapered leader which I hqd built myself, with wshat I imagined was great care. I was shooting my line out to rising trout—wary fish, feeding in clear, still water. I simply Was not putting my flies down so they’d fool the fish. The fault, I now know, was in the leader. This I have since proven in research and experiment.” That paragraph is from an article by Francis H. Ames in the April isue of Sports Afield maga zine, in which Ames claims that hundreds of thousands of fly cast ers who say they are members of the “I can’t fly cast worth a hoot” club don’t belong in such inept company. He is convinced that many of those anglers would discover they have undreamed of fly-casting ability if they would pay less at tention to rod and line balance and more to leader construction. All efforts in fly casting, the balancing of rod and line, the backcast, the forward cast, are aimed at the end result—straight ening that leader out over the water so it will drift the fly down naturally. A wary trout in clear water won’t take a sloppily laid down fly. All flys are laid down sloppily with sloppily built lead ers. Ames thinks that 999 out of 1000 leaders used by the average angler, whether ready-made or homemade, are sloppily construct ed. And no angler, however skill ful, can lay down a fly decently wth a poor leader. » Check these-points: Does your gently down, after the fly? Or does it land before the fly, with a splash that would send a dim- witted crawdad scuttling? Does your fly curl back toward you as it lands, or does it curl forcibly downward to hit the drink like a tossed stone? Well, don’t blame the rod, the line, or yourself un til you’ve checked that leader. You can’t blame yourself for the poor leaders that often cause you trouble. In measuring hun dreds of coils of leader material with an extremely accurate micro meter, Ames found that nylon varied as much as 8/1000 of an inch from the labeled breaking strength. And most labels said nothing whatever about diameter! /it all comes down to this—as long as nylon leader material is packaged as ft is being packaged today, in mismarked or inaccurate ly marked strengths. In breaking strengths rather than diameter, we’ll do Well to measure our strands with a micrometer before assembling them into leaders. We have available the finest leader material that is manufactured anywhere; all we have to do is use it correctly.
