WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Apr. H.
Three plans by which farmers in

curing loans at less than the prevail

new publication Of the United
states Department of Agriculture,
Farmers Bulletin No 654. How
Farmers May Improve their Personal

The first ofthese plans has worked
out in certain localities in North
h Dakota so well that the farmer has
been able to borrow money on his
personal note at eight per cent at a
time when the usual rate in his vi
cinity varied from ten to twelve per
i cent. To secure this reduction in
i interest. the farmer agreed that the
bankers should buy the dairy stock
/ Tor which he wished the loan and
sell it to him at actual. cost The
purchase in a number OF cases was
conducted with the advice Of state or
federal dairy specialists. The men
Who furnished the money were thus
lin position to make certain that 1t
was used for productive improve
ments which would enable the boz
4 rover to repay. the loan. e. Under this
plan, in fact, the farmer may be said

ment, especially when it is not de-
served
The mining exhibit is, of course,
immense. Every section of Idaho in
this industry is well represented. The
exhibition is in the mining palace. The
Idaho building at the fair is an i'm
posing structure. Naturally during the
opening days of the fair 1t could not
be expected that the building could be
completed with its interior decorations,
which conditions exist at most every
other state building. 1t will not be
long now before the Idaho building and
all other buildings will have been per-
fectly arranged for a favorable inspec-
ton by the people.
mo criticism can be attached to the
management under the new Idaho COM
mission. The new members took hold
at a time when the exposition was
about to open. Naturally there was a
change in the personnel of the entire
commission employees. Some of the plans
for attracting people to the advantages
of Idaho that had been originally
outlined by the old commission were
abandoned. This could cast no reflec-
ton on the old members of the COM
mission, since a change of management
always brings new ideas.
