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.

IF YOUR church choir, college or
* high school glee club, even the
local barbershop quartet, seem to
perform better these days, chances
are Fred Waring may have had
something to do with it . . 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.

By TED KESTING
“One evening on the Siletz I
was using a fine rod and line,
perfectly balanced. 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.
