It has been loaning them money on their unsold crops, particularly Cotton and wheat. It has been loaning them money to buy Feed. And all this for a long period prior to the drouth, and therefore unconnected with drouth relief. And It has been paying thorn good American currency for such aue plles as It bought to feed the unemployed, not giving them certlll-rate- s which could ho exchanged only for some product produced by the unemployed In stale factories, as proposed by Sinclair. By the same token the federal government laid Itself open to the charge of direct competition with Industry by this same difference. Had It exchanged furniture and mattresses and whatnot produced by the unemployed for the food products of the farmers to feed those same unemployed, the procedure would have been more nearly that of the F.B1C plan of Mr. Sinclair, and the maiinfactnrers would have had a harder time making their case. For the answer In either case Is that the unemployed are not buying Is not now, so the manufacturer losing a market when they produce something for themselves. It Is only when their product la put on the market that this competition arises and private Industry Is hurt. Plaid for le GOOD HEALTH tav.

In the flood of Inquiries received liy the Federal Housing administration from farmers and olhers xxlio lire In rural communities, these facts stand out clearly: Water Is one of the most pressing farm problems today In large areas of the United States. How to get money to dig new wells or deepen the old ones leads of the I'HA all the questions by farmers. Another question being asked by thousands of Inquirers Is how to get money to build dams for ponds and small lubes. Tbe answer to both questions Is livfor tbe farmer, or anyone ing In a rural community, to upply for the necessary loan at the local bank or other lending Institution. Modernization loans for the purpose of deepening old wells or digging new ones are authorized by the FIIA, as well ns ponds needed to conserve tbe water supply. Construction Permitted. Other new construction permissible for modernization loans ami of special vulue In rural districts Includes fences, gates, garages, poultry houses, smoke houses ami any similar construction always provided tbe proposed Improvements meet with tbe approx al of tbe hank or other lending institution to which the application for the loan is made. Also, the amount applied for must not exceed $2,000, although the project may cost as much more ns the farmer is able to pay for without borrowing. Included also lu tbe modernization program are ordinary improvements to tbe farm dwelling, barn or other large farm buildings, such as lightning and fire protection, Insulation, reconstruction of faulty chimneys, strengthening of foundations, additions of new rooms and porches. Installation of plumbing, heating systems, wiring and similar operations. Accessories Needed. For many fanners who need wells, other things also are wanted. They state In their inquiries to the FHA that they need windmills, pumps, tanks, cisterns, piping, troughs and other things in order to get the greatest use from tbe wells they hope to dig with iheir modernization loans.
