T0WNLEY OFF "
ON. FIGURES
State Auditor admits Town
ley's Figures are Hardly
Correct.

Bismarck, Dec. 31.-The fact that
the whole number Of applications for
farm loans approved at the stated
meeting OF the university and school
lands board this week, was ome
where between is and 20, and that
the total amount so loaned was less
than $3O,00O,' is, State Auditor Kos
itzky admits. a fair indication that
the average North Dakota farmer Is
not so hard hit as Mr.. Townley and
other professional farmers would
have the farmers believe.
The number of applications for
loans, SO far as can be learned, was
large as ordinary. and the actual
amount loaned was unusually small.
Some months ago, when the question
of investing $25O,O00 of the universe
ty and school lands fund in the second
Liberty Loan was under consideration.
Commissioner w. ]. Prater expressed
the fear hat the farmers OF North
hundreds of thousands to tide them
over the winter. and that any invest
ment in the Liberty Loan bonds from
the university and school lands funds
! would be robbing the farmer.
During the two years ending July
80, 1916 under the Hanna board
farm loans to The mount of $780,
$50 were made to North Dakota ag.
riculturists. The amount applied fol
at the December meeting Of the Fra.
zier board is insignificant in compar.
ison. State Auditor Kisitzky, who Is
a member Of the land board, predicts
the big demand for loans will come
in January and February, whom the
farmer begins to buy seed. AS
matter Of fact, it is claimed that 6
great many, farmers, especially those
buying on a cooperative plan, al
ready are making provisions for thei1
seed needs
