Experiences in the workings of the Federal Farm Loan t t act were related here tonight at the opening session of the .Fourth National Conference on Marketing and Farm Credits by William R. Camp. Mr. Camp is superintendent of Credit Un ions and Rural Organizations, Divi sion of Markets, North Carolina Agri cultural Experiment Station and Ex tension Service. He said in part: "The organisation of national farm loan association authorized by the fed eral farm loan act, has been relatively much faster than that of credit unions As soon as the federal law was pass ed we published an article on its ad vantages. Blanks were sent out so that individuals might apply for loans of local associations. These may be grouped later in larger or small local organizations. "As a result of. this educational campaign in North Carolina by Novem ber, 24, there were 57 national farm loan associations applying for $2,445,- piece of news that has come Fay- etteville's way In some time, and is regarded as one of the bqt "possible evidences of permanent prosperity.

Such assaults as were made were easily repulsed. On the Transyivanian east front the Russian pressure is being continued and the attacking forces achieved some slight progress '.n the Trotus valley Farther south, however, a height re cently lost by the Austro-German for ces was recaptured. The official statement announces that the battle on the Argechu has been fought to a decision and won by the Teutonic forces. The important town of Tergovistea has been captured by the Austro-Ger man forces and the troops advancing from the north by way of Campulung have effected a junction with those moving from the west in the terrain between the Danube and the moun tains. The eat of the first Ruman ian army is declared 'to have complete and the Teuton troops are continuing their victorious march eastward from Feteshti. What remains of the first Rumanian army is declared to have been driven beyond Titu, to the junction of the railroad from Bucharest to Campulung and Piteshti. Southwest of Bucharest the Ruman ians have been repulsed as they also were in strong attacks to the south of the capital, - a severe defeat being in.- flicted upon them, while cavalry suc ceeded in interfering with railroad communications in their rear. The total prisoners taften yesterday was more than 8,000. Besides other valuable booty 35 guns were captured by the Danube army.

"On the west bank of Argechu and northwest and west of Bucharest fight ing continues and we are successfully progressing. "Southwest of the fortress, the Rum anians were repulsed across the river Niaslov toward Argechu river. Ac cording to an order that has been found, they intended to defeat separ ately the Danube army while the Rum anian north wing the First army re sisted. South of Bucharest, strong Ruman ian and Russian ' attacks have to be repulsed. Here also a heavy defeat. was inflicted on the enemy. Our cav alry succeeded in Interrupting the railroad beyond the Rumanian army. Conduct of Troops Praised "The conduct of our troops in the various engagements was beyond praise. They showed -wonderful marching capacity. The rich, country and the captured provision carts of which were filled, facilitated the vic tualing of our troops. "The Rumanian army suffered the heaviest sanguinary losses. To the' thousands of prisoners taken on pre ceding days more than 8,000 were add ed yesterday. The booty seized, in cluding war material of all kinds, was incalculable. The Danube army cap tured 35 cannon and near Titu -locomotives with much rolling stock fell into our hands.

In the south the man who- would ap ply for a loan of $5,000 or $10,000 as permitted by the law would probably do no driving of a cultivator or plow himself, although this is contrary- to what would be true in the west. - "The need of the south for a law like the Federal Farm Loan act is great as shown by the rapidity with which the farmers of North Carolina haye organized under the law. Be tween the credit unions, for short time loans, ' and the natiqnal farm loan associations for long time loans. farmers will have a complete system of co-operative credit of their own, a system which can be made as complete for agriculture as the state and na tional banking system is for the com mercial interest."
