Farm Bureau Federation Finds that Agriculturists
Are In No Condition to Liquidate
Debts On March 1.
Written Specially for The Gazette-Times by Robert Fuller.
Chicago, November 22. A whole-1
sale bankruptcy among Midwest far
mers threatens on March 1st, 1923,
unless immediately steps are taken
to provide machinery for advancing
a long time credit to agriculture.
Whatever happens on March 1st, it
cannot be a liquidation of present
debts, according to a statement just
issued by T. W. Moorhotfse, Director
of the Research Department of the
American Farm Bureau Federation.
A new credit arrangement will save
farmers from bankruptcy and permit
a refunding.
Mr. Moorhouse points out that the
total farm mortgage debt is now esti
mated to be around $8,000,000,000.
This represents an increase of 132
per cent since 1910. The biggest vol-

a new credit arrangement must be
adopted immediately if we are to
prevent wholesale bankruptcy of
mid-western farmers on March 1.
ume of loans is in Iowa. Fifty-eight
per cent of the loans are outstanding
in the twelve East North-Central and
West North-Central States.
A great part of these loans are in
the form of five year mortgages and
were taken during the early days of
the war in order to make possible the
necessary expansion to meet in
creased food requirements for the
armies.
Present Farm Loan Limits Big
Operations.
In discussing the present credit
system, Mr. Moorhouse's report shows
that the Federal Farm Loan System
has served very effectively in financ
ing small land farmers. Federal
Land Banks at present can loan but
$10,000 to one person. "This limita
tion bars farmers operating the most
economical farm units in the great
est food producing areas in the Uni
ted States. The Federal Farm Loan
Act doe not limit the amount of the
loan that can be made by the Joint
Land Banks, but the Federal Farm

Loan Board has imposed the limita
tion of $50,000.
"The Federal Farm Loan system
provides for loans on farm land for
a maximum period of forty years and
for the payment of the loan on the
installment basis spread over the en
tire loan period. The initial stock
of the twelve Federal Land Banks
was supplied in the first instance by
the United States Government, but
has gradually been purchased by the
borrowers from the banks until the
amount of stock owned by the Gov
ernment ia about one-eighth or $4,
000,000 out of 132,000,000.
Saving of 23 Per Cent on Annual '
Interest Payments.
Mr. Moorhouse emphasizes the nec
essity for passing legislation which
will remove the $10,000 loan limit
from the Federal Farm Loan Banks.
"With the removal of this limit far
mers can make their loans through
this agency and will be able to re
finance their business. On a total
indebtedness of $8,000,000,000 the
farmers are paying an average yearly
interest of 7V per cent. They are
paying in interest $600,000,000 a year.
With the $10,000 loan limit removed
from the Federal Land Banks and
farmer loans transferred to this
agency there would be a saving in in
terest rates alone of over $200,000,
000 a year."
HOMEY PHILOSOPHY for 1922
Once upon a time there was a man
named Russel Sage. He died many
times a millionaire. He never spent
a penny he was not compelled to
spend. He bought his summer under
wear in the winter-time and his win
ter clothing in July. He paid fifty
cents for straw hats, when merchants
were throwing away their left overs
in September. Thus he amassed a
huge fortune, which two of his nep
hews are now spending. They buy in
season with the money Sage left and
enjoy the buying with the human
touch Sage could not leave. He never
knew it. Buying in seasons spells
universal prosperity and human hap
piness. But buy early. The rush
stimulates prices. Everything needed
for Christmas is now in stock, and
the early bird catches the worm. The
worm may be foolish to get up, but
he's up, in every store. So shop now.

Northern Land Cuts Gov

Newsprint Manufacturing
Soon to Be Under Way
In Same Territory.
BY A. E. SHERMAN.
Associate Forester U. S. Forest
Service
Editor's Note: A. E. Sherman ia As
sociate Forester in the Uuited States
Forest Service and a man who has
given years of his life to the perpetu
ation of government timber stands.
The wood pulp for print paper manu
facture lituation is one that should
interest every man who reads, and
that means almost all our citizen
ship. The following offers one solu
tion of the present difficulties.
The water front of the little town
of Ketchikan, Alaska, was the scene
of unusual activity during the month
of September, occasioned by the load
ing of a stately five-masted schooner
with a cargo of lumber for shipment
to Australia. The big "five-sticker"
was brought up from Seattle by a
tiny tug and maneuvered into posi
tion convenient to the Ketchikan
sawmill. Her cargo was to consist of
1,800,000 feet of spruce lumber manu
factured locally from logs purchased
from the government and cut from
the great Tongass National Forest.
This is the first complete shipload
of lumber for marketing in a foreign
country. The order is in part the re
sult of the favorable impression
which Sitka spruce cut from the Alas
kan forests for airplane material
made upon the lumber-consuming
public during and immediately follow
ing the world war. Stocks which were
rejected for defect during the war or
remained unconsumed at its termina
tion were sold in the regular lumber
market and were found to possess
such admirable qualities as to arouse
a keen demand for further supplies
of the same quality. This first schoon
er load is part of a 6,000,000 foot or
der received from Australia. The logs
for its completion are already being
rafted to Ketchikan, and the entire
amount will probably be on its way
before December 1. When loaded
each schooner will be taken in tow by
a tug and safely conducted past Cape
Chacon into the Pacific Ocean, where
sails will be spread for the long
voyage of about 10,000 miles to an
Australian port. The trip will con
sume about five months.
Other Shipments.
Although this is the largest and
most important shipment of lumber
made from Alaska this year it is not
the only one by any means. From a
small mill at Wrangell a shipment
of 45,000 feet was made to the London
market, another shipment of 450,
000 feet for consumption at Atlantic
Coast ports, and numerous shipments
intended for nearer points. These ac
tlvities have resulted in giving em

plovment to labor during what woulu
otherwise have been a period of con
siderable depression.
The timber which has thus enter
ed into export trade was cut frcm
the Tongass National Forest which
occupies the panhandle portion of Al
aska, that coastal strip extending
southeasterly from the main body of
the Territory and lying between Bri
tish Columbia and the Pacific Ocean.
This Forest embraces about 15,000,-
000 acres and has a total stand of
timber estimated at approximately 7?
billion feet board measure, of which
20 per cent is Sitka spruce, 60 per
cent western hemlock, and the' re
mainder mixed species. The timber
is cut under Government regulation
ith a view to the perpetuation of
the forest, the continuation of .in
creased growth, and the betterment
of silvicultural conditions generally.
Strangely enough, thia cargo of
lumber cornea from a National reser
vation which only a few years ago
was condemned by short-sighted
critics upon the ground that the tim
ber was valueless and eould never be
used upon a commercial basis for any
purpose.
For frint riper.
The officers of the Forest Service
state that these shipments of com
mercial timber to foreign ports are
merely an ad interim activity pend
ing the eventual establishment in
that region of the newsprint manu
facturing industry. The Tongass Na
tional Forest has been divided Into 14
regions, each one having a stand of
timber sufficient to furnish a perpe
tual supply to a paper mill manu
facturing 200 tons a day. The bound
aries of the region have been drawn
as to include within each unit poten
tial water power sufficient in quanity
for such a mill and possible of de
velopment at a reasonable cost per
hundred horse power, f our or nve
different outfits have either made ap
plication for area contracts with the
Government or have their agents at
work in the field preparatory to do
ing so.
In addition to the 14 areas segre
gated for regional development, neu
tral sones have been estaDiisnea ior
supplemental stocks and to supply
the needs of settlers ana an local ae-
mands. Eighty-six per cent of the
timber used by Alaskan Industries
is now being cut from the National
Forests of the Territory. It is plann
ed to sell to pulp mills only the
equivalent of that part of the annual
growth not needed lor local use.
Meanwhile, pending the establish
ment of the paper manufacturing in
dustry, the Government is willing to
sell in reasonable quantites and at a
reasonable rate the over-mature tim
ber in order that a new forejt may
come om It is anticipated that even
tually there can be cut from the
National Forests in Alaska sufficient
pulpwood to produce one-third of this
nation's present total annual c
sumption of paper.
Tuberculosis on Decline, Much Cred
it. Being Due Seal Sale. Large
Purchase This Year Requested.
Health Associations In Charge.
The fifteenth annual sale of Christ
mas Seals by the Oregon Tuberculosis
Association, will be launched through
out the state December first and con
tinue throughout the month, closing
Christman eve. Never before has the
state been so well organized, from
the most remote rural district
through its school or settlement,
down to the large cities, and for that
reason the most successful campaign
in the history of the organization is
anticipated.
Mrs. Sadie Orr-Dunbar, Executive
Secretary of the Association who has
spent much time throughout the state
during the past two months, setting
up the organization, says of the value
of the work: "I want to call atten
tion of the people of the state tb the
fact that in 1904 200 of every 100,000
deaths occurring wers due to tuber
culosis and that in 1921 only 100 of
every 100,000 deaths were due to this
disease. Is this saving worthy of the
continued support of the people of
the state? The answer in past years
has been a boost for a healthier Or
egon by means of a liberal purchase
of Seals. The purchase must be lib
eral, as our budget for all our work
throughout the state for the coming
year is $40,000 and our only scource
of income is the sale of Seals at i
penny apiece."
The county public health associa
tions, which are branches of the Or
egon Tuberculosis Association, will
be in general charge of the Sale in
their counties, the following persons
acting as chairmen:
Benton, Corvallls Womans Club,

SUNDAY SCHOOL DERELICTS
There are In the United States
twenty-five million boys and girls who
ought to bo In the Sunday Schools,
but who are not.
. The Sunday School is one of the
greatest agencies in America for the
education the moral education of
the youth of this land.
Through that moral education they
can be fitted for citizenship, for
domestic responsibility, and for re
ligious service. The Sunday School
is the greatest agency in America
today for the accomplishment of
these purposes.
Christianity is a personal touch
and power because it deals with the
individual. Salvation is a personal
affair. Sin is a personal entity. There
fore, the Sunday School deals with
the Individual child, brings him to
the knowledge of God's Word, pre
sents to him Christ, teaches him
Christian ideals; urges, him to be
loyal to the government, true to the
flag; demands that he be temperate
sober, righteous, clean, industrious,
and faithful to home, to church, and
to God.
The Sunday School demands of all
people undivided support, sympathy
1
politeness, to call me a "Jane."
If I was a woman that pined fer a
mate, I wouldn't step sideways to
monkey with "fate.". ... I wouldn't
trust nothin that couldnt be proved
till I fished up a jay that was fit to
be loved. An' I'd practive all virtues,
an' live in restraint if I was a
woman, but, golly, I ain't!

trouble, annoyance and unnecessary
delay by promptly applying for their
1923 licenses upon receipt of the ap

for licenses until about the first of
the year only congests the work of
the Secretary of State's office and
may result in the arrest of the car
