LAND MEASURING NEAR END
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES

With the big task of measuring
contracted and seeded wheat acre­
age nearing completion in most Ore­
gon counties, compliance forms will
begin moving to Washington soon
to be followed by distribution from
there of the second benefit payment
of 9 cents a bushel on growers al-
lotments, says N. C. Donaldson,
state supervisor for the wheat sec-
tion of the AAA stationed at Oregon
State college.
Morrow, Sherman, Gilliam, Wash­
ington, Benton and Crook counties
were among the first to complete the
measuring, and Gilliam and Wash­
ington were the first to get compli-
nnce forms ready for submission to
Washington. Just how long It will
take after these are received at the
national headquarters before the
checks will be distributed is not
L is
known, but word from the
that utmost speed will be used in
getting the second payment out to
the growers.
Umatilla county, which has been
using the airplane photographic
survey method of measuring is re­
ported getting along well with the
plan after some preliminary diffi­
culties, and is finding it accurate
and convenient. Once the task is
finished this year, most of next
year's measuring will be done as
well. .
The Wasco county committee has
now let a contract for a complete
air survey there as well, although
some ground measuring had already
been done. Committeemen there be­
lieve that the savings next year will
justify making a complete photogra­
phic map now. Some other counties
have obtained permission to begin
ground measurements of summer
fallow this fall rather than wait un­
til next year to do the entire job.
More details of the proclamation
of the secretary of agriculture con­
cerning next year's benefit payments
and processing tax on wheat show
that while the payments and tax
will be the same as last year, the
amount of crop reduction Is not
fixed definitely other than that it
will not exceed this year's 15 per
cent. Should national or interna­
tional conditions warrant, growers
may not be required to reduce that
much. More definite announcement
is expected sometime In August In
advance of fall seeding dates.

1. the Lesson-Sermon in all
Churches of Christ, Scientist, on
Sunday, July 22.
The Golden Text was, "As the
Father hath life in himself; so
hath he given to the Son to have
life In himself" (John 5:26).
Among the citations which com
prised the Lesson-Sermon was the
following from the Bible: "1 call
heaven and earth to record this
day against you, that I have set
before you life and death, bless­
ing and cursing: therefore choose
life, that both thou and thy seed
may live" (Deut. 30:19). .
The Lesson-Sermon also In­
cluded the following correlative
passages from the Christian Sci­
ence textbook, “Science and
Health with Key to the Scrip­
tures," by Mary Baker Eddy:
“We all must learn that Life is
God . . . This Science teaches
man that God is the only Life,
and that this Life Is Truth and
Love; that God is to be under­
stood. adored, and demonstrated;
that divine Truth casts out sup-
positional error and heals
sick” (pp. 496, 471).

Manifold Ways in Which the

A Return of Normal Lending
Banks are badly needing loans for
revenue purposes, and now that confi­
dence In banks has been largely re­
stored they are naturally returning to
a more normal, lending policy. Before
the bank holiday the confidence of the
people was shattered. The thought up­
permost In the minds of depositors was
the safety of their funds. Withdrawals
from banks became increasingly heavy
and general. Under such circumstances
the banker, mindful of his primary re-
sponsibility to bls depositors, was more
concerned in the collection of loans
than in the making of new loans. The
result was a severe contraction of cred­
it. For this the banker should not be
blamed. He simply performed his mani­
fest duty.
Bankers at this time are very prop­
erly viewing the credit needs of busi-
ness with serious and sympathetic con­
sideration. Applicants for loans are not
always familiar with the rules govern­
ing bank credit and constructive and
Interested help on the part of the bank­
er will bring about the making of many
additional loans, without doing vio­
lence to any principle of good banking.
Certainly no one would advocate the
making of unsound loans by banks. The
creation of a large volume of unsound'
loans would not only weaken the banks
—It would prolong the depression and
wipe out some of the gains already
made. It Is to be earnestly hoped that
no banker will yield under the pres­
sure of his desire tor earnings, or tor
any other reason, and make loans ot
the wrong sort. John Ottley of Atlanta,
in a recent address, said—“The plan of
lending freely and hoping tor the best
has never proven wise.”
I
There are many needs tor credit of
kinds which are not within the province
of commercial banks to meet. Likewise
there are many types of credit, but
there are also many types ot credit fa­
cilities available—enough, it would
seem, to meet the requirements ot all
classes of worthy borrowers.
The Duty of Every Banker
It is clearly the duty of every bank­
er In the country to perform certain
services. The most Important are:
