That means, it was explained, the ? announcement will come from Bis $ New York city home, to which fielh will return after a I0*day cruise 0 through tropic seas on board Vincent y Aster's yatch, the Nourmahal. b Meanwhile, the Presiden^-elect pre- tl pared to meet with Judge Robert W.

Bingham is expected to Be li invited to accept the ambassadorship C to France, a post for which he has a been prominently mentioned in the past two months and a half. a Another man whose name has fig- c; ured in the unofficial ambassadorial o: discussed, Robert Dunham, of Chi- pi cago, was here today, and conferred with Mr. Roosevelt in the seclusion is of the "Little White House." Al- 4,' though the latter clung steadfastly to his policy of silence regarding ap- li: pointments, the opinion among his g -? ... ? i r friends was that the visitor wouia oe g asked to take a diplomatic post, prob- p< ably in Germany. i ol Mr. Roosevelt laughingly refused tl to be drawn into a discussion con- n cerning the purpose of the visit of ol Senator Cordell Hull, of Tennessee, who concluded his stay this morning n< after a second and brief conference, ai "Oh, we just talked economics," Mr. Roosevelt remarked. d< Nevertheless, the conviction is re growing in sources dose to the Presi- re dent-elect that Hull will be the next b; Secretary of State.

Lindsay Warren Economy Leader Tar Heel HasUnpopular Job of Cutting Down Expenses Washington, Feb. 2.?The finger if economy is poking here and there ibout the House of Representatives hese days and leaving a few rather ouchy spots behind. And although the savings in the nd likely will not amount to a big lortion of total expenses, they wDl epresent a considerable achieve ment. For instance, in a year the House iccounts Committee has saved about 6,000 in tolls on telegrams. That > not much compared with the $80, 00 that went for this purpose last ear, but the men who seek economy elieve it is a step in the direction iov want, to CO. The onus of watching much of the xpenditure falls on Representative ,indsay Warren, young North Caro na Democrat, and the Accounts ommittee he heads. As he thought bout it today, Warren said: "We are watching every penny we an watch. I am doing the best I m, and with the full co-operation f the members of the committee, ~Re ublicah and Democratic." One thing the committee has done send a letter to every one of the 35 members, saying: "Blocks of identic telegrams to a st of newspaper addresses, tele rams in the future of news, con ratulations, condolences or of a slitical or personal nature, are not Tidal and will be charged back to le members. No telephone call ear ring any toll will be considered as Tidal. "The Committee on Accounts has 5 authority to 0. K. cablegrams of ay nature." Because of this ruling, some two >zen members have been told in ;cent months that telegrams and ibles they sent will not be paid for 7 the government. They have to ay for them themselves. ' Warren's committee also has abol * * * * ? a i ' 1 Jied ?onuses to special cierss as-1 gned from government departments I > House committees and paid by tEe! apartment. It has not created a ngle new office. It has approved and reported for ouse action a resolution to limit meral parties to give members ?om House and Senate, and it has ;fused to pay more than $400 for a isket for a deceased member. The Accounts Committee has held acentlv that transcripts of testi lony sent to persons outside Con fess must be paid for by some xiy other than the government. It is refused to authorize employment : special investigators. Kenneth Romney, sergeant-at-arms, watching the funeral bills, toe. or instance, he received one today iking $652.50. He sent it back with letter saying that he will allow aly $130 of that total.

Credit Corporation Functions for Farm Relief a ? ? ii ? M ???????? ? $32,000,000 Loaned In J Twelve Districts Dur- c ing First 90 Days b o (By Robert Puller) 1 Washington, D. Feb. 2.?In ^ less than ninety days after the open- ^ ing of the first Regional Agricultural Credit Corporation office more than ? $32,000,000 has been disbursed to far- ' mers and stockman in loans made by the Credit Corporations, under the di- ? rection of the Reconstruction Finance B Corooration. The Reconstruction Corporation ^ was authorized to create in any of ^ the twelve Federal landbank districts a regional agricultural credit corpora tion with a paid-up capital of not less than $3,000,000, to be subscribed and ( paid for by the Reconstruction Corpo ration* Such corporations, managed by v, officers and agents appointed by the Reconstruction Corporation, have been authorized to make lonas or it advances to farmers and stockmen, ft the loan money to be used for an 1! agricultural purpose (including crop ^ production) or for the raising, C( breeding, fattening or marketing of uj livestock. *1 All lonas made under the section are fully and adequately secured. No fees or commissions, are paid by any C applicant for a loan. The interest ft rate, originally established at 7 per S cent (with no inspection fees to be a paid by the borrower), was reduced oarlv in .Tannarv to "6% per cent. Regional offices are now operat- o] ing in all twelve districts with twenty-one branches strategically w placed to offer prompt and conven- P ient service to fanners and stockmen in every state in the union. a] Quick Loan Action w That the corporate organizations 9 were speedily set up and that they oi have already performed a note- h worthy service is seen in the volume 01 of business January 13, 10,752 loans fi had been made totaling $32344,477. tl In addition, 24,614 ^oans had been a approved but the disbursements of $48334^40, represented in this busi- tl ness, had not been "put through the & mill." More than 36,000 applications t< were on file in the thirty-three offices f< representing a potential loan volume ?1 of $67,677,720. ^ Two districts account for more P than half the total disbursements of O the credit corpcjrations.

Leans While definite regulations govern ig the placing of seed loans with irmers of North Carolina during ?33 have not yet been released from Washington, it is a certainty that >unty farm agents will be called pon again to have an active part in le placing of these loans. Dean I. 0. Schaub, director of the fricultural extension service at State ollege, received a wire last week ?om Wr C. Warburton of the United tates Department of Agricolture, i vising that the county agents lould hold themselves in readiness >r this work. There will be full co peration between the county agents i id the crop production loan organi ition along lines similar to previous jars. There will likely be included in the pplication for a loan, a certificate hich the county agent must fill re siding the proposed cropping plan f the applicant and the amount of loney which will be needed to carry it this plan. In many cases the eld inspectors will request space In te county agents' offices for the cecution of applications for loans. This indicates, said Mr. Schaub, tat the county farm agents will be aubly important to the fanning in vests of the State this spring. Many irmers, unable to get credit from uher sources, will be forced to rely pon the governmental loans. Jjuft ear loans were made to about 40, 90 farmers in 98 counties of the (ate amounting to approximately Mt million dollars. To date about 90 ercent of this money has been re aid. Mr. Schaub said North Carolina irmers have received much favora ie commendation for the way in hich they have repaid the loans of 982. ?

R. Y. Winters, director of the North Carolina Experiment Station At State College. ! "It requires time to establish facts | by research," says the director. "Be cause of seasonal variations, few rec ords of a single year ^re reliable, i Many of the treatments which we give .to soils are cumulative making it necessary to secure records over a long number of years and there are ?fom form ore who would consent to their land being used in this way over such a period as is necessary to es tablish the definite facts. Some of our more important experiments and those of most value to our farmers have been underway for ten or more years." Dr. Winters says one of the most valuable soil rotation experiments in North Carolina has been underway for SO years and is becoming more valuable each year. Studies' with varieties of pecans have been under way for 20 years and are giving re liable information now. Other crop and soil tests have been studied for similar periods. Investigations are under way now on each of the six branch experiment station farms and the suspension of this work or the diverting of the farms to other purposes would destroy the accumulative value of the o*n?rim#ntB and rerniim vpara of work and expenditure to recover the damage, the director declares.
