Mr. Atwood says that it may be that
the banks are overcautious now. just
as they were overconfident in 1929. but
calls attention to the tact that until
a little more than a year ago banks
were falling "partly because they had
loaned too freely, and were being
criticised right and left tor precisely
that fault” He adds:
"Indeed, the banks which bad been
cautious in their lending policy came
through the crisis safely Under such
conditions It is utterly useless to criti-
else banks for not making loans After
the experience they had for several
years, especially In 1932 and 1933. It is
only natural that they should relax
their requirements very slowly and
gradually.
"Unfortunately, many of the applica­
tions tor loans are not from people who
want temporary banking accommoda­
tion for three or six months and are
quite able to meet their maturity dates,
but are from those who really need per-
manent capital. They are busted and
they want someone to stake th tn to a
new start. What they really seek la a
partner to furnish them with long-time
capital. But depositors Insist upon be­
ing paid on demand, and. therefore, it
is a grave question whether banks
should tie up their funds tor any length
of time ”

FEEDING IODINE TO MARFS
DRAWS mTEREST TO O.S.C.
Widespread interest in the re­
search In feeding iodine to brood
mares at Oregon State college has
resulted In a request to staff mem­
bers concerned to present a scienti­
fic paper covering the subject. Such
paper by B. W. Rodenwold and
Dr. B. T. Simms, of the state icol-
lege, was presented before the Ameri
can Society of Animal Production at
Its annual national meeting In Chi­
cago the first week in December.
The Oregon State college work­
ers began experimenting with iodine
feeding in 1922, after severe losses
through the death of foals had been
experienced. Accurate records main­
tained since that time strongly indi­
cated that the feeding of 15 grains
of potassium Iodine per week to
brood mares during the last half of
the gestation period will eliminate
a common goitrous condition and
bring foals that are stronger, more
vigorous and healthy. Five grains
of potassium iodine per week was
found sufficient to prevent goiter in
calves.
The material was fed by mixing n
stock solution so that one ounce of
the liquid poured on the grain once
a week would give the required do-
age. The treatment Is recommend­
ed only for regions where a defici-
nncy of iodine in the regular feed
stuffs results in goitrous condition
of foals and other young livestock.

planned to make five large plant­

cently burned-over land, and to dis­
