FARM BILL CREATES CO-OPERATIVE BODY Senator Smith Explains Plan of Handling Individual Problems in Offering Measure. Senator Smith, Democrat, South Carolina, in formally introducing his agricultural relief bill in the Senate Sterday, issued a statement in Which he said it provided for the creation of a federal co-operative as- sociation, with separate and distinct member associations, to handle the individual problems of the growers of the principal farm crops. The federal association ‘would work in direct contact with the Federal Re- serve Bank, which would be empow- ered to lend money on farm crops up Yo 75 per cent of the market value, he said. The bill gives the federal association power when authorized by a majority of the producing land owners to control production, he added. The assoclation would be authorized to charge 5 per cent on loans to create a reserve fund, which shall also act as security to the Fed- eral Reserve Bank and the assooia- tion would be subject to imspection by the Federal Reserve Board, The bill requires no appropristion, he pointed out. “It simply provides that the present banking and our- rency machinery shall serve agricul- ture as it serves commerc geen el ey BANK RESOURCES FALL. $343,240,000 Drop in Three Months Reported by Controller.

POOL FUND INADEQUATE Associated -~ Charities Committee Announces Improvements. Following a meeting of the sum- mer outings committee of the Asso- ciated Charities held last week, work has been started to prepare Camp Good. Will and Camp Pleasant for opening the first week in July. The committee has had a caretaker on the grounds at Camp Good Will all winter clearing away underbrush, painting the tent floors, working on the roads and otherwise improving this new site. Last fall the committee bought a portable shack, which was fitted up for the winter use of the caretaker, and which also will serve as headquarters of the Loy workers during the camp season. ; The committee has in hand $600, which was collected last season for the building of a swimming pool at Camp Good Will. The sum was found not to be sufficient to do the work, and it is hoped that special contribu- tions may be made to supplenent the amount o the pool may be built be- fore camp opens. Estimates will be called for this week to cover plans and specifications, which have been drawn. Modern Lavatories. At Camp Pleasant it is going to be possible this year for the first time to have modern lavators facilities, due to sewer connections which were built and donated for the use of the camp. This will be a much-needed improvement in the way of sanitation, and will give added security to the camp against possible sickness. Although no appeal for funds has vet been issued by the committer, se eral hundred dollars in contributions have been received in anticipation of the summer’s work. Among these has been a gift of $35 made by “A Crowd of Sewing ladies” eight in number. with which to name a tent for the 1924 season. In addition, these women have this past week sent a further contribu- tion of $25 with which to supply milk and ice for the benefit of the occupants of the tent during the summer. The officers of the summer outings commit- tee remain as last year. The chairman is John Joy Edson. who has served in this capacity since the or- ganization of the committee in 1903, The vice chairman is John H. Clapp and the treasurer is Harry G. Meem. Head- quarters of the committec is at the new Social Service House, 1022 11th street. Kindergarten Fete Held.
