UNIONS CONTINUE DRIVE TO
ELIMINATE USURERS.
(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.

Ditch Digging Demonstrated.
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.

Seed Corn Selection Started.
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.
