(From the Co-op. Builder) NEW YORK—New York City has convicted two leaders of the million dollar usury (loan shark) racket through which small borrowers are being robbed of millions of dollars annually by interest charges rang ing from 360 to 1040 per cent for emergency loans. The loan racket has reached tremendous proportions in the metropolitan area, rivaling the bootleg liquor business of pre repeal days and ranking close to the policy and racing rackets. The busi ness has passed largely into gangster control with the accompanying ter rorism, although countless private Ioan sharks continue to exploit the emergency loan business on the less profitable “legal” rate of 42 percent. Several “big shots” have been sentenced to from 3 to 11 years but no steps are being taken to create reasonable agencies to provide short term loans. COUNCIL WILL ELECT OFFICERS Credit Unions Increasing. Morrow County Grange Council will meet at the Rhea Creek Grange hall Sunday morning, February 2. Officers for the year will be elected and other work will be taken up. Mrs. A. E. McFarland pomona mast er, urges that all Grange officers, committees and members who can do so, attend. Pot luck dinner will be served at noon. -------------------- In the face of these conditions the cooperative credit union movement, which frees the small borrower from the grip of the Ioan shark by mak ing him his own banker, has grown to 4000 societies in the U. S. with over 800,000 members and is grow ing at the rate of 6000 new members a week. Credit union members provided their own emergency and consumption loans to the total of 340,000,000 last year. Since the pas sage of the Federal Credit Union Act at the 1934 session of Congress four credit unions a day have been orga nized all over the United States. The Midland Co-operative Whole sale Association, Minneapolis, an nounced the organization of 26 cred it unions in its local gasoline coop eratives in Minnesota and Wiscon sin in October. Farm Bureau Co-op eratives in Ohio and Indiana have launched plans to provide credit un ion service with their other activi ties. Many other of the 6,600 con sumers’ co-ops In the country are taking similar action. Credit Unions have been organized in Industrial plants, offices, farm organizations, labor unions and church parishes. Credit unions are cooperative or ganizations of persons with com mon employers or common profes sional interests who pool their sav ings on a small scale to provide their own credit needs to meet such emergencies as accidents, illness, childbirth or death, and to finance installment purchases for which in terest ranging from 36 per cent up Is usually charged by credit merch ants. The credit union not only pro vides the borrower with emergency funds but provides a safe depository for small savings (the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports losses on only 24-100 of 1 per cent of loans made by credit unions In 1933.) In terest somewhat larger than savings bank rates is paid to depositor-mem bers of the credit cooperatives while the borrower secures the money at a small additional charge to take care of bookkeeping expense. The Credit Union National Ass'n., Madison, Wis., offers a constructive alternative to the usury racket through the organization of credit unions. AIR-SCREEN FANNING MILL BEST FOR SMUT CLEANING For removing smut balls from seed wheat, certain fanning mill types which use screens and air blasts for cleaning have been found most ef fective in tests by the U. S. depart ment of agriculture, reports George R. Hyslop, head of the farm crops department at Oregon State college. The bureau of agricultural engin eering made thorough tests of 10 farm size grain cleaners, including one disk machine, two cylinder and fan cleaners, one riddle and screen type and six fanning mill types. The engineers obtained the best resultts in removing smut balls with the fan ning mill type, and when they were run at considerably less than their rated capacities. They also found that the best results were obtained when the blast of air was directed upward against a stream of falling grain rather than, when it struck the grain at right angles. The fanning mill type of cleaner depends on screen vibration and wind blast for separation of smut balls from wheat kernels. In some mach ines of this type screen separation is completed before the air blast is called into play. Fanning mills may operate with end-shake or side-shake screen agitation, and the lower screen is sometimes flat and some times cylindrical. The importance of screening out of smut balls before treating the seed with fungicides is emphasized by Professor Hyslop If this is not done, subsequent handling of the seed frequently breaks the smut balls and thus reinfects the treated seed to a certain extent. The fugicides, such as copper carbonate most wide ly used in Oregon, kill the smut spores adhering to seed but do not kill the spores in unbroken smut balls. Unless the soil itself is infect- ed. practically complete control of the smut is possible if the smut balls are removed and the seed has been thoroughly treated.

ALBANY — The digging of 600 feet of ditch three feet deep and four to five feet wide with just three "shots” of dynamite was witnessed by more than 50 Linn county farm ers and students of Oregon State col lege who attended a demonstration meeting recently on the farm of Roschal Groves of Lebanon. The demonstration was conducted by Mr. Groves in cooperation with F. C. Mullen, county agent. Prof. R. N. Lunde of O. S. C., and J. P. Mc Adams, Eugene. The cost of blowing the ditch was about seven cents per foot, which included the cost of dynamite for removing 50 or more ash stumps from 6 inches to 2 feet in diameter before blowing the ditch.

HILLSBORO — To develop a uni form and high-yield strain of Min nesota ”13” seed corn, Floyd Bierly of Route 1, Beaverton, is conducting a rigid program of seed selection, reports L. E. Francis, assistant county agent. He began last year by selecting 40 ears from two tons of seed corn, planting 30 hills from each ear in 100 foot rows In a spec-1 ial seed bed. After inspection for I uniformity of stand, type and yield, seven of the 40 rows were selected. From these the corn was husked, weighed and yields per acre calcu- 1 lated, after which five rows were selected from the seven. The seed from the five ears from which this | seed came will be planted in a sepa- | rate plot to produce the seed for the | 1937 crop. Warns Against Virus Disease. HOOD RIVER—Where single drop potato seed is used, it is well to take care that it comes from fields known to be free from virus disease, espec ially rugose mosaic, says County Agent A. L. Marble. A field badly in fected with rugose mosaic produces a high percentage of small potatoes, | he says, because the disease kills the | vines before the tubers can grow large, and every potato from an in- fected plant will carry the disease : in spite of any disinfection. County Agent Marble has notified his local growers that both Burband and Net ted Gem certified seed is available from Hood River county fanners.
