AGENTS Fleeing
STATE FARMERS
In Many Cases Claim Com
missions for Negotiating
Farm Loans.
Is NOT AUTHORIZED
Board Lets It BE Known
That Ranchers Needing
Aid Must Go TO Ii.

Helena. Dec. 21.-lt has come 10 the
attention OF the state board OF land
commissioners that in several commu-
mites of the state farmers who desire
to negotiate farm loans from the state
have been solicited by and in some in
stances have employed agents TO do
the business for them paying them 4
commission.
Applications have also been made to
the state land hoard by several men to
be appointed farm loan AGENTS. These
applications have all been turned
down for the reason that there is no
necessity for d farmer having an agent
to negotiate a loan from the state for
him and The board desires the farmers
to do business directly with it. In
some instances the agent has made an
agreement with the borrower under
the terms of which the agent Is paid
a commission for a term of years.
When a farmer desires 10 make a
loan all he has to do is to write Sid
ney Miller. register Of state lands, for
the necessary blanks. These he can
fill out himself The only expense
the farmer need assume is that OF
having the abstract made.
