Small-Farm Owner May Secure Aid
from Farm Loan Board.
Th Federal Farm Loan Board has
issued the following rules for the
guidance of the land banks in deter
mining what area constitutes a farm
for loaning purposes:
"First. Generally. The farm must
be of sufficient area to yield at the
hands of an ordinarily capable farm
er, putting it to the use to which it is
generally adapted and using average
methods, an income sufficient to
maintain the family of the applicant
and discharge the interest and amor
tization payments.
"Second. Specially. Where thru
intensive farming or the practice if a
specialty a sufficient income has been
regularly derived from a tract defi
cient in area for ordinary farming, or
where the application of the prospec
tive borrower shows that he is by ex
perience capable of producing such
an income from such a tract,' such
area may be accepted as sufficient
provided the land has a stable and
permanent market value sufficient to
warrant the loan applied for. This
ruling does not apply to fruit and or
chard lands which have already been
the subjects of definite rulings by this
board."
Under the first paragraph of this
ruling loans may be made to the or
dinary farmer on the basis of average
skill and efficiency, and no tract of
land will be accepted as a farm eligi
ble for a loan under the Federal farm
loan act unless it is large enough to
support the family and take care of
the loan under the average farm con
ditions of the neighborhood. .
But under the second paragraph of
the ruling the intensive farmer or the
man who practices a profitable spec
ialty, or who shows himself able to do
so, will be given financial support by
the Federal Farm Loan System, even
though his farm may be too small
for ordinary farming purposes, pro
vided that the land quite apart from
its use has a stable and permanent
land value which will make the loan
safe whether it is well operated, or
badly operated, or not operated at all.

tacking. For several centuries gas
has not been used in warfare and The
Hague convention deflnittly ruled
against it. However, on April 22,
1915, the Germans liberated great
clouds of gas against Canadian troops
near Ypres. .Terrible destruction and
demoralization resulted from this
first gas attack, and within a week
England was making plans for gas
warfare against the Germans.
Soon after the first German gas at
tack English and French wlmen sent
to the front hundreds of thiusands of
homemade gas masks. For the most
part they were merely bandages im
pregnated with chemicals to wrap
around the mouth and nose. These
emergency masks saved many lives,
but afforded only limited protection.
10,000 Skilled Men Wanted for Ser
vice in Aviation Section.
Qualified men registered under the
selective-service law may be induct
ed into service to fill the call for 10,
000 skilled mechanics needed by the
Aviation Section of the Signal Corps,
by applying to their local boards. Men
not registered may enlist at recruit
ing stations.
The present call is particularly for
machinists, auto mechanics, engine
repairmen, gunsmiths, chauffeurs car
penters, blacksmiths, tinsmiths, cab
inetmakers, electricians, copper
smiths, sheetmetal workers, propeller
makers, wireless operators and con
structors, tailors, tentmakers, sail
ors, truck masters, vulcanlzers, weld
ers, and experts on magnetos, igni
tion systems, cameras, watches, and
clocks.
Men will be sent to San Antonio,
Tex., for segregation by trades, fol
lowed by a brief course of instruction
at flying fields or factories, then or
ganized into squadrons mostly for
srvice overseas. Additional informa
tion may be secured by application to
the Air Division, Personnel Depart
ment, Washington, D. C.
Small-Caliber Bullet Hag Armor
Piercing, Tracing, and In.
cendiary Actiin.
The present war has brought forth
a new kind of ammunition for air
plane use in the form of special cart
ridges containing bullets for armor
piercing, tracing, and incendiary pur
poses. All of these cartridges are of
the small rifle calibers, according to
a statement authorized by the War
Department. The three-tenths of an
inch dlameer and short length if the
bullet left little space for armor
piercing element or for tracer and In
cendiary composition but such com
binations have been made.
The bullets developed by the Uni
ted States Ordnance Department have
been tested on land and from air
planes to see if there is any differ
ence in their performance when fired
frim a quickly moving airplane in. the
upper atmosphere and when fired on
land. These testa indicate that the
United States has developed a class
of special cartridges with a perform
ance fully equal to or surpassing that
attained abroad.
