How About This.

A farmer gives a crop mort
gage in 1915 covering a certain
crop for 1916. This farmer has
sowed, harvested and threshed
his 1916 crop, and sold a part of
it, turning the proceeds in on
his indebtness to the mortga-
gee. To secure the balance of
the indebtness, he gave a mort.
gage on his crop for the year
1917. The mortgage claims
they still hold a mortgage on
the balance of the 1916 crop in
the farm er's granery, notwith-
standing that this balance of
the 1916 crop was not included
in the mortgage of the crop for
1917. Ii the mortgagee is right,
the farmer can not sell this
grain to buy flour or coal, or
feed it to his stock, without
leaving himself .criminally
liable. If the mortgagee is
right, [ would like to know it
before the legislature for 1917
adjourns. This is a transac-
tion that effects many farmers
in North Dakota every fall.

BIG TIME ON
OVERLAND TOUR
Jacob Ohmart Recites Some of the
Sights at the Big Overland

Jacob Ohmart, WHY'S Over
land dealer, who was one of
the 5000 dealers visiting the
great Toledo plant in connec-
ton with the immense conven-

periences in this entertaining
letter to The Courant:
Some action!
Nothing was ever so impress.
sive as our tour Of the great
plant that turns out WHY'S

Our Pullmans all parked in
the company yards. There was
room enough, for there are
seven and three-quarter miles
of track within the plant.
Each man got card contain
ing picture Of Mr.. Willys and
an autographed message of
welcome from him. Next thing

the steps of the stunning new

sixth floor There we had a
corking breakfast. At each

days program.
Then started our tour of the
plant. Our guides were care
fully picked men. They knew
the plant from end to end, and
the parties were small SO that
each member of the party could
have his questions answered.
Nobody ought to try to sell

1t is no piker business.

HOW A FARMER
MAY BORROW MONEY

The farmer has little to do to
secure loan under the new
act. The bulk of the work is
done by yethe secretary treasurer
of the Federal Farm Loan as
sociation. The farmer must
get in' the association when
he borrows; he must get out"
when the loan is paid.
If there is no local associa-
ton in the community, at least
ten farmers must get together
and form one. If there is al
ready an association, the bor-
rover must join, which he may
do upon two-thirds vote Of
the directors. Only farmers.
or persons about to become
farmers can become members,
and only mem bers can borrow,
and all members must be b~r-
rowers. The local association
can be formed by the help Of
the county agent or by the
help of the state agricultural
experiment station, or through
some local leadership. The
loans to members of the as
sociation must aggregate $40,
600 or more.
When the farmer gets in the
association he applies for I.
loan. He must also become a
shareholder in the local associa-
ton. He must buy one five
dollar share for every 500 Of
his loan. If his loan is $1,000
he must buy $50 worth of
shares. He may advance the
cash for these shares, or simply
borrow this money and have it
deducted from his mortga ge
loan. In that case, if he bor-
rows $1,000 the Land Bank
would forward him $3.50.
The local association is
corporation with, what is COM
monty called double liability )"
like an ordinary state or ma
tional bank. This is, the farm
err is liable for double his stock.
For instance. if he borrows
$1,000, the most he can lose is
500, which is double his stock
holdings. Put in the form of a
per cent, he is liable for ten per
cent of the amount Of his loan.
1t will be noticed that this is
not unlimited liability as
some suppose.
The secretary treasurer of
the local, as mentioned above,
writes and answers letters,
keeps the books, handles the
funds, seizures the loans from
the land banks, pays over the
money to borrowers, and does
all the active work of the as
sociation. He ought to be a
capable, trustworthy man.
When the farmer pays off his
mortgage his membership in
the local association ceases, the
money invested in shares is re-
turned to him and the transac-
tion is closed. James 3. Boyle,

and superscribing himself as
Associate Justice James A.
Robinson, Office for six years
commencing Decemb 4,
1867 the justice elect says:
Mr.. Carl Jorgenson, State
Auditor, Bismarck, N. ID.
Dear Sir: | am sending you
a copy of my certificate of cleo
ton as supreme court Judge,
showing that l have been elect
ed to that office tor six years,
commencing on December 4,
1916, and, as Judge Charles J.
Fisk, E. 7. Burke and E. B.
Goss are holding over contrary
to law and the constitution,
and their certificates of cleo
ton, you are cautioned against
paying them any salary or Civ
ing them warrant for any
salary for the month of Decem-
Der, 1916. Ifyou should give
them a warrant for the Decem-
Der salary, it will put the state
to the trouble and expense of
bringing suit against you
and against them to recover
the same. You may please
see in the office of the secretary
of state copies of the certificate
of election under which the
said Judges Fisk, Burke and
Goss hold office and they will
show you that at the general
election November 8, 1910, they
were elected judges of the
supreme court to hold office for
six years, commencing on the
first Monday in December, 1910
You may have read that in
some way they improvised a
court to sustain the claim that
they have a right to hold office
until January the first, but if
you will think for a moment it
will be entirely clear to you
that the supreme court judges
have no right or authority to
make court.
And as Judge of the supreme
court, claim the salary for the
month of December, 1915, and
feel sure the state will pay it.
Of course / am interested
only as a citizen. My rights
are in no way affected by any
a warrants or moneys you choose
to give out to any person.

The farm scientists and the theorists can preach
all they want to about the economy of the farmer
building fine, big sheds to keep the rain off the
manure or other such plans, but it goes without
saying that the average farmer isn't going to see
it that way. But he doesn't have to! The remedy
for such losses is simple in the extreme. In fact,
exactly the right way of handling manure so as
to save all this loss is about the cheapest, cleanest
and altogether the easiest way to handle manure.
The first step to prevent the loss of the fertllzing
elements in manure is to provide plenty of bedding
or litter in the stable to absorb and save all the
liquid. The losses due to fermentation can be
greatly checked by mixing horse manure with COW
manure and making the temporary piles compact
to as to exclude the air, and by thoroughly wetting
the manure, which will assist in excluding the air
and also reduce the temperature.
The ideal way on the average farm is to follow
the plan, all through the year, of hauling manure
directly from the stable and spreading it at once.
There is a generally prevailing notion among farm
ers that If manure is hauled and spread in mid
summer, the sun will ScOrch it to a cinder and burn
all the good out of 1t. The government agricultural
station in Maryland, just outside of Washington,
decided to determine this matter accurately, and
its analytical experiments have exploded two very
common beliefs, the summer-burning theory being
one of them. The other common belief which has
been blown to atoms is that it is better to pillow
manure under in the fall than to leave 1t exposed
on the lands surface during the winter and then
plow it under in the spring.
In the first instance manure spread in burning"
July and allowed to stand until the following
spring gave better results in carefully checked ex-
periments than that spread in the following spring
just before blowing. In the second series of ex-
periments better yields We're secured after allow
ing the manure to lie on top of the land all winter
and blowing it under in the spring than were OBJ
tanned from blowing it under II. the fall.

LANSING, PRESIDENT FOR JUST ONE DAY

The next president of the United States will be
Robert Lansing Of New York, the present secretary
of state.
Mr.. Lansing's term Of office does not depend
upon the action of any political convention; it
is likewise irrespective of any primary or direct
election. In point of fact, it dates back to January
10, 1886, when congress passed an act providing
that, in the event Of the death, removal, resigna-
ton or inability Of both the president and the vice
president of the United States, the secretary of
state shall act as president.
March A, 1917, will fall upon a Sunday, and it is
contrary to all precedent-although not In opposi-
ton to any law-tO hold an inauguration on Sun
day. Therefore the incoming chief executive will
take the oath of office and commence his term
shortly after noon on March 5. President Wilson's
term commenced at noon on March 4, 1913; there
fore, according to the Constitution, which defines
the term of a president as -four years. his tenure
of office will be over at noon on March 4, and, even
If he is elected to succeed himself, he cannot tske
the oath of office until noon on the following day.
Vice President Marshall, of course, is under the
same disability as the president. Therefore the
secretary of state, Mr.. Lansing, will be president
of the United States for the "a hours and some
minutes elapsing between noon on Sunday, March
A, and the time that the new president takes the
oath Of Office on the following day.
This brief term of office Is not q mere formality.
1t is an actual occupation of the power of presi-
dent, with all his authorities and prerogatives. Mr..
Lanslng-"Presldent Lansing" for the day-will
be empowered to occupy the White House, to is
sue pardons, to attend to all the other business of
which the chief executive has control, and to ride
to the capitol, should he desire, as the outgoing
president on inauguration day.
Moreover. this is the first time in the history of
the nation that n secretary of state has had this
honor bestowed upon him and only the second
time in the 14O Vpnrs of thn,axi Stnnaa ne fbo TTni+aJ

In the meantime he continued the
work of rebuilding his orange groves
and now has big trees in his large
orchards. He has INDUCED in some

kets and has made quite a bit Of money
from his shipments. He grows soma
cabbage and watermelons, but he does
not advise the average farmer to at
tempt truck on a large scale and do
general farming at the same time. He
says that vegetables must be given
the best care and attention at the
proper time. He is gradually quitting
all truck crops except watermelons.
He plants from 40 to 60 acres every
year and plants velvet beans in the
melon field at the last cultivation. The
velvet bean is a fine crop for fattening
all kinds of live stock and transfers
large quantities of nitrogen to the
soil.
Peanuts for Hogs.
He plants peanuts for the hogs to
harvest after eating the small and bad
shaped melons. He plants corn and

The grazing season is long and the
cattle do well on native grasses until
about December 1. The cattle are then
turned on a field of velvet beans and
fatten very rapidly. The velvet beans
make beef of a very fine quality. Large

INVESTIGATION TELLS STORY
OF SUCCESS OF FLORIDA farmer
When Frost Killed His Orange Trees He Turned His Attention to
Good Pastures, Live Stock, ~Leguninous Crops, Large Flows
and Strong Teams-ImprOved His Herd of Cattle by Pur-

(By G. II. Afford. State Demonstration
Agent. Maryland1
S. H. Gaitskill, Mcintosh, Fla,
came to the state in 1884 and began
growing oranges, but did not sell his
Kentucky farm for some years after
he came to Florida. He was quite well
satisfied with his orange-growing ven
ture until the freeze of 1895 killed all
Of his trees. This freeze was a great
shock and the orange grower did not
know what to do. Mr.. Gaitskill started
to rebud and build up his grove, but
did not feel that it was advisable to
rely upon oranges for everything and
began to grow corn, hay and other
crops for mar and beast. Prior to the
freeze he made 10 effort to grow feed,
but used some of his orange money to
buy everything he needed. He soon
learned that he could grow very fine
crops Of corn, hay, oats, peas and
other general farm crops and finally
decided to raise good live stock to
consume the crops grown. Having de-
cided to go into the livestock business
he sold his Kentucky farm and bought
an old sugar plantation adjoining his
farm and proceeded to make the grow
ing of pork and beef his main work.
Bought Purebred S%horthorns.
Mr.. Gaitskill was not satisfied to

through the winter with very little
feed, except what is obtained from
the fields.
Silo Is Useful.
He built his silo for the COWS and
calves when the grass does not prove
sufficient to keep them in good con-
dition. 1t is not a winter or summer
silo, but is used at any time during the
year when the silage is needed. d
He grows a great variety of crops
and has good grazing crops for his live
stock IL months in the year He uses
no fertilizer on his land. He grows
leguminous crops 10 feed the live
stock, and the live stock spreads the
over the farm. The growing
of leguminous crops fills the soil full
of nitrogen, adds immense quantities
of humus to the soil and furnishes the
most valuable grazing for all kinds of
live stock.
Mr.. Gaitskill uses large plows and
strong teams and turns under large
quantities of vegetable matter to fur
nish humus. He does not abuse his
land by burning off the vegetable mat
ter and blowing with a one-horse plow.
He is planning to get a tractor, plow
deep, turn under vegetable matter and
grow better crops each year.
Good pastures, good live stock, legu-
