Quota In Fourth
Loan May Be Between
IL And 10 Millions
Rcd River Valley Counties Must Sub
scribe the Big Bulk df this Amount.

ScrAOe IIIC 11lS buAA VI ILLS IanQOuIACs
Bismarck, N. D., Sept. 9.-Burleigh
county has been assigned q half mil
lion Of the fourth Liberty loan, and
this amount has already been appor-
toned among the various towns and
county has been assigned a quota
which it will be expected to fill. Bis
marck and it's adjacent territory will
take about half of the whole.
This apportionment is based on the
presumption hat the fourth Liberty
loan will be for six billions" said
Chairman H. P. Goddard today.
Should the loan; be cut to five bill
lions. our share will be 20 per cent
but We've got it, and we're going to
loan it to Uncle Sam. All things con-
sidered, the fourth Liberty loan
should go over in Burleigh consider
ably easier than the third did, for
now we have plenty of money, from a
good average crop, while last spring
many of us were borrowing money to
finance our crop. We oversubscribed
the third Liberty loan. but no over
fourth. A half million is our mark,
and when we've made it we will be
through. The campaign will open Sep
TENDER % and will close October g."
North Dakota, it is understood, has
been assigned between 17h and 10
millions Of the fourth loan. The big
burden will fall on the Red River
valley, with its record-breaking crops
of wheat and flax. Central North Da-
kota will be asked considerably less
proportionately, and the share west
of the river, where last summers
drouth conditions hit hardest, will be
still less. South Dakota ran it's third
Liberty loan over 1914 millions when
it was far less we'll situated financial
ly than North Dakota is today.
The plan adopted in Burleigh coun-
ty will be to assess every man such
proportion of the loan as his income
and means may enable him to take.
and he will be expected to ""do his bit

Thirty-nine improbable cows
were sold by members of Tennessee
contrasting associations during
March and April. One member of
the Hamilton County Association in
creased his net profit $50 in March
over February, due to better feeding.
In April, seven of the eleven mem
bers of that association increased
their net profits over March. One
member says he is getting as much
milk from ten cows this year, as he
got from fifteen last year.
Silage and some good legume hay
clover, alfalfa, cowpea, or soy bean
should form the basis of the most
economical milk producing ration.
Look carefully into the situation now
and if you have not planted enough
of these crops for next winters feed,
get them out now. There is yet time
to put them out and make good
yields. Many dairymen were forced
out of business last winter, owing to
lack of homegrown feeds. If you do
not grow your feed this summer, you
may be compelled to sell your herd
next winter. =. Z
