FARMERS J0 BE AIDED British Columbia Government to Ap ply Rnral Credits Law. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, May 25. The British Columbia government has just completed the sale of 1, 000, 000 worth of bonds, issued under the new provincial rural credits law, and is now- prepared, for the first time, to make loans to British Columbia farmers. Consul R. B. Mosher. of Vic toria, reporting to the Department of Commerce on the launching of the new enterprise, says: "The bonds are to run for 25 years and bear 4 per cent interest. They sold at 82:29 and yield a rate of 5.63 per cent, which, in the present condition of the money markets, is very satis factory. Compared with the 6.39 per cent which the province is paying on the issue of last year, it is good testi mony to the province's excellent credit. The rate is equal to that for the Do minion issue, recently made by Sir Thomas White, Minister of Finance, and Is better than that secured for the Anglo-French issue placed in the United States last year. "The Government will supply funds to farmers under the agricultural cred its act as passed during the last ses sion of the British Columbia Legisla ture. It has been established that it will cost 1 per cent to administer the funds, which means that the charge to the farmer will be about 6Vi per cent. "The agricultural credits act -.vill undoubtedly prove a great stimulus to the agricultural industry of the prov ince. It is recognized as a very up-to-date piece of legislation of its kind, and is the outcome of an investigation of similar legislation in the most advanced agricultural countries on the globe. The acquisition of funds was the only thing needed for its operation." WOMEN FORM THIRTY CLUB Former Newspaper Women of Chi cago Organize Society. CHICAGO. May 22.
