County agents. Farm bureau orr
ganiZations, banks, and farm loan
associations who will assist in the
distribution Of the seed grain loans
are urged TO exercise great care III
the approval Of applications Of far-

farmers will secure the aid. For the
reason that the funds are limited,
assistance will be given only 70

Plan Satisfactory.
A study of conditions In Montana
and North Dakota shows that to Ee-
cure seed readily and without mucn
delay or inconvenience. The county
commissioners seedsmen, banks,
elevators, and farmers who had D
surplus Of seed have been willing TO
accept the certificates Of approval
and allow the farmers TO proceed
with the planting of their crops.
The same plan should work In q
satisfactory way next spring.
II will be desirable 10 hold good
home grown wheat in each commu-
nifty for the use Of the farmers in
the spring. In some cases II will be-
necessary to purchase seed wheat in
other counties and import it, Coun-
ties are urged 10 make arrangements
at once for this seed and to store
IL for spring use. This will save
the farmers large sums of money.
This seed wheat should be purchased
by the county commissioners, eieya-
tors. seedsmen, or o thcr parties in q.
position TO handle this grain.

PLAN FOR USING
FEDERAL FUNDS
TO AID FARMERS
is COM PLETED

You may announce that aid will
be furnished TO farmers for spring
planting of wheat within the limits
of remaining available special funds.
Five dollars per acre will be allowed
with a maximum OF 100 acres" was
the message received from Secretary
Houston of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture, by the Fed
eral Seed Grain Loan office at Great
Falls. Mont.
In the distribution Of the fund set
aside by. President Wilson to aid
FARMERS in rought-stricken areas
the following allotments were made:
Montana ................ 81 oVO,OVV
North Dakota ............. 100000
Washington ............... 10000
Applications approved for fall
seeding OF wheat and rye, together
with those anticipated before the
dates of closing, which Is October
for fall wheat and October Is for
rye, ares estimated to require 100000
for Montana and $4,000 for North
Dakota. This leaves a large share
Of the special fund to assist the far
mers in spring planting.
Plan OF Operative.
One hundred acres will be the
maximum on which a loan will be
made to any one farmer. If a far
mer has secured a loan on 100 acres
OF fall wheat or fall rye, he will not
be entitled to u loan on spring grain.
If a farmer has secured a loan on
less than 100 acres, he will be eutitl-
ed to a loan on an additional acre
age which will bring the total to 100
acres; for instance. IL he has receiv-
ed a loan on 60 acres of fall wheat,
he can apply for 40 acres of spring
wheat, which. at IS per acre would
give him 5000.
The spring loans will be made to
land owners and homesteaders who
have suffered a loss of crops for two
years as a result Of drouth and win
ter killing and who, by reason OF
such failures. have exhausted their
resources and are without CONNER
ciaei basis of credit. Loans will not
be made to renters or to others who
can not give an unconditional lien
on the crop.
Where 10 Apply.
In order that farmers may know
just what aid they viii receive and
so that plans can be made for ad-
ditional assistance from the banks
and other Institutions, applications
for spring aid will be received after
November ] at the Federal Seed
Grain Loan office in Great Falls. It
will be necessary to use different
application blanks from those used
this fall. These forms will be print
and to blanks. Farmers should use

GAS RATE CASE
ISN'T SUBJECT
OF DISCUSSION,
SAYS Mr.. LANCER
Tim Not Discussing It, :"
Sc His Only Response to
Inquiries

Attorney General William LANCER,
who is holding up the investigation
Of the charges made by the city
commission of Fargo relative to in
creased gas and electric rates in Far
go. according to administration
papers, because he fears to present
the case to a Nonpartisan elected
board OF state railroad commission
ers, isn't discussing IT,"
Mr.. LANCER, in a long distance
conversation with The Forum this
morning, so declared.
What progress is being made IN
the electric and gas rate case" MIR.
LANCER was asked.
I'm. not discussing it," Mr.. LANCER
answered.
well, the city of Fargo made an
appropriation of $500 for the ez-
pense OF an audit, didn't tt?' he was
asked.
Il understand so." the attorney
general replied.
as such audit heing made?" he
was asked.
I'm not discussing It." he re-
piled.
"Will any steps be taken in the
matter soon" he was asked.
4 &I IlOL AAoShSSAAtb 49, %'4t .
LANCER replied.
You don't care to talk about the
matter at ALP"
"Tm not discussing It," came the
answer.
The city commission Of Fargo
made coplaint last July to the state
railroad commission, accepted Attor-
ney General Langer's proposal to
make an audit of the company's
books and appropriated $500 to pay
the expense.
So far as known, nothing has been
done, and Nonpartisan papers say
the attorney general is delaying ac-
ton because of his fear of placing It
before the present NOnpartisan rail-
road commission.
Bad Blood.
There has been bad blood" be-
tween the railroad commission and
the attorney general for some time,
according to reports from Bismarck.
Two members Of the state railroad
commission who are said not to have
been amenabIe to the orders or reg
uIations imposed or proposed by the
attorney general, were dropped by
the Nonpartisans in the last cleo
ton, and two new members will go
on at that time.
Another feature Of the case not
definitely established is said TO have
to do with the employment OF ac-
countants. The railroad commission
is said to have favored one firm Of
accountants, while the attorney gen.
eral is said to have favored another.
The $500 appropriation made for
the auditor has not been drawn on,
and still stands TO the credit OF the
state.
