FARM LOAN LAW
IS UNSUCCESSFUL

The farm loan law passed by the
last legislature has not brought the
results expected, according: to William
c. Rae, state treasurer ana ex-officio
commissioner of farm loans. IN fact,
not a dollar has been loaned under
the law. Mr.. Rae in a letter to w.
ID. Graves, secretary of the Misscula
county clearing house of the Farm
ers' Society of Equity, explains in de-
tail the failure of the loan to be op-
erative, and also suggests an amend
ment which may bring results. Writ
ing to Mr.. Graves, Treasurer Rae
said:
"Since the passage of this law l
have devoted the greater part of my
time toward getting it in operation
and toward attempting to market the
bonds issued under it's provisions. In
addition to the letters l have written
to bond houses, banks and insurance
companies, l have written more than
1900 letters to Montana farmers who
have made inquiry concerning this
law. l have also furnished every
county treasurer of the state with ne
cessary blanks and instructions for
their guidance and have perfected the
organization contemplated by the law.
AS far as any private interests go,
l desire to say emphatically that l
have no private interests which, in
any way, interfere with my perform
ance of the duties of the Office of
state treasurer and ex-officio commits
sioner of farm loans. If l had any
such private interests would imme
diately dispose of the same or would
resign my Office.
No Loans Made
"Although there are now on file in
this office applications for loans ag-
gregating $5OO,O0O, no loans have
been made under the provisions of
this act, for the reason that it has
been impossible in the present dis
turbed conditions of the financial mar
ket to dispose Of the bonds. The rate
of interest allowed, which, as you
know, is 5 per cent. per annum, ap-
pears, am frank to say, too low
to make these bonds attractive as a
straight investment by banks and in
surance companies, and the fact that
the state must sell these bonds at par,
thus preventing them being handled
by mortgage bond houses on COM
mission basis, has operated to pre-
vent such mortgage bond houses from
attempting to dispose of the bonds
to their clients"
Mr.. Rae quotes from letters he has
received from bankers, insurance COM
panies and bond dealers in which they
tell why they cannot take the bonds,
basing their refusal on the low rate OF
interest, the state of the money mar
ket and on the fact that there is no
allowance for a commission to deal
ers. AS to how to make the bonds
more attractive Mr.. Rae says:
Would Amend Law
II believe that 6 per cent. bond
could be readily disposed of, and l
am strongly of the conviction that
this law should be amended so as
to provide a rate of interest not to
exceed 6 per cent.
"There should be some elasticity in
this interest rate, so that if financial
conditions improve and it is found pos
sible to dispose of 5 per cent. bond
the rate of interest could be fixed at 5
per cent. I believe that this increas-
ed rate of interest on the bonds
should be offered those who desire to
purchase the bonds as an investment
without increasing the burden to be

"There should be some elasticity in
this interest rate, so that if financial
conditions improve and it is found pos
sible to dispose of S per cent. bond
the rate of interest could be fixed at 5
per cent. I believe that this increas-
ed rate of interest on the bonds
should be offered those who desire to
purchase the bonds as an investment
without increasing the burden to be
placed upon the Montana farmers.
This could be done by eliminating the
/ per cent. provided in the law for
administrative costs. l believe that
the administrative costs of this act
should be borne as other administra-
tive costs are, by the general treas
ury of the state.
"If this amendment were adopted,
and financial conditions should SO i'm
prove so as to make the sale of Il 5
per cent. bond possible, the saving
should go to the framer, who would
then be compelled to pay but Fer
cent. instead of per cent. for the
liquidation of the interest and princi~
pal of this loan. When, however. il is
necessary, as it seems now, to pay G
per cent. interest on the bonds, the
net cost to the farmer with the ad-
ministrative charge eliminated, would
not be any greater than 1t would be
under the present act.'

Litter Mates

A southern SOW had eight pigs and
could nourish only seven of them at a
time. Rather than let the odd pig
starve, it was given to little girl,
who raised it by hand. She joined the
County Pig Club as ham and bacon
member, and kept close record of the
feed given and weights of her pig,
which was not pure bred
When the pig was 10 months old, it
was killed according to the instructions
sent her. 1t weighed 225 pounds net
when dressed as meat and yielded also
50-pound can of lard. The pig cost
less than bushels Of corn to produce,
as it was raised on kitchen waste in
addition to the corn.
The seven other pigs raised by the
mother and left to rustic with her were
killed at the same time and averaged
only 81 pounds net when dressed as
meat.
This instance shows how literally the
pig will repay proper care and feed by
gaining rapidly in weight. News Let

Peace Talk

Cardinal Gibbons yesterday presented
to President Wilson a message from
Pope Benedict regarding peace in
Europe. Later he saw Secretary Lam
sing on the same subject.
After his conference at the White
House, the cardinal announced that he
had discussed the possibilities of peace
with the president. He said he could
not reveal the contents of the pope S
message at this time.
Cardinal Gibbons declared that the
settlement Of the submarine issue be-
tween the United States and Germany
had greatly added to the cause Of
peace and had placed the United States
in an advantageous position to be of
service in bringing to an end the con-
hict abroad. He said he had informed
the president that he believed this to
be true.

SOME BIG YIELDS
REPORTED THIS WEEK

Every farmer who has finished thresh-
ing can report a big yield this year.
Some are so surprised over the bushels
they are getting that they can hardly
believe it to be true, even with the
evidence before their eyes. Some are
afraid it is dream and that they have
hardly become awake.
Since the Pioneer was published last
week, it has been learned that John
Semar, living west of town almost to
the Flathead river, has an average of
Al bushels per acre on so acres. This
wheat was ''stubbled in last fall and
is remarkable yield. Besides he got
10 bushels per acre volunteer wheat on
40 acres.
Mike Gadbois had better than 20
bushels per acre from his fall wheat
and better than Is bushels from spring
wheat. This may not seem worth
mentioning. but when it is known that
none of this land from which the yields
came has been touched for three years,
then it is some wonder. This makes
the third time this acreage has been cut
since it was sown. Sounds like wheat
is becoming perennial in the Mission
valley, doesn't it?
Henry McRae had IA bushels per
acre on the Beck place in the same
locality, and this is all a volunteer crop.
Not having water to irrigate the land,
and believing it useless to cultivate the
land without water, nothing was done
last fall, but the grain came so we'll
last spring that it was looked after and
Al bushels per acre is the harvest.
Miss Carrie Mitenberger is another
of the lucky ones in that neighborhood.
She has sown wheat for the past three
years, but last fall became discouraged
and did not sow any. This spring it
was like all other tracts in that section.
The wheat came so promising that the
land was allowed to remain as it was,
and last week she threshed 120 acres
This entire acreage was pastured until
June and was all a volunteer crop.
Miss Edna Whitney, a school teacher
from Anacortes, WASH, is another to
reap harvest without sowing Miss
Whitney has been on her land for two
months past and while here had the
co icfo of of
unteer wheat harvested and threshed
which averaged rs bushels per acre.
All of the persons named above will
make another effort to grow crops on
their farms as the water is now avail
able for their land. They will plow and
reseed, although that work seems un-
necessary after their experience this
year.

CARR 8 PECK THRESH|NG
MACHINE DESTROYED BY FIRE

Last Friday forenoon the threshing
machine owned and operated by Carr
4 Peck caught fire and was entirely
destroyed They were threshing smutty
wheat on the H. R. Robedeau place
south and west of the Round Butte,
for Geo. w. Toothman, when an ex-
p)osion occurred and almost instantly
the entire machine was enveloped in
flames.
The separator man, Bakken, was
standing on top of the machine when
the explosion took place, and he says
the explosion came from the blower.
They were operating the machine with
the top uncovered in hopes that the
smut would escape thereby in sufficient
volume to prevent an accumulation and
cause an explosion, but in this they
were mistaken.
They wheat they were threshing is
said to have been very smutty, some
estimates placing the per cent of smut
at one-third and parties who could see
the machine at work from a distance
state that while it was running there
was black cloud rising which would
give the appearance Of a big fire with
the black smoke arising in cloud.
This is the first machine on the Flat
head to be destroyed in this manner
and is to be regretted very much Not
alone on account Of the loss to the
owners, but for the further reason that
it shows the smut to prevail in such
quantity as to be of danger to crops in
the future.
In Washington there are explosions
OF this nature frequently and it is not
an unusual thing for owners to lose
their machines from the explosions and
resultant fires.
At the time of the explosion it is
stated that the entire machine was
in flames at once, just as if gas was all
around and had caught fire.
Not to be delayed any longer than
could be helped, Jay Carr, Earl Peck,

'For the moment the severe fight
ing has come to a stop along tho
front of our new positions after the
week of battles which followed the

Of the Suvla bay position the cores

to meet them and most exciting bayo-

tween the two crests. Bayonets were
flashing and stabbing for several min.
utes before the Turks began to give
way. They left the crest and ran
down over the ridge, the Irishmen
standing up and firing down upon them
while at intervals British machine
guns on the hills behind drowned the
sound of the rifle fire whenever the
gunners were able to get clear view
Of the fleeing Turks.
THE dead lie thick everywhere and
the stencil is appalling. Being unable
70 bury their dead, the Turks throw
their bodies down the gully until they
are stopped by the nature Of the
ground, while others thrown after
them are stopped by the first. Conse-
quently the whole gully is choked with
