COUNTY AGENT NOTES.

|, Do you need money to put in your
rye this fall? The President has
placed $5.0O0.000 at the disposal of
the Treasury Department of Agricul-
ture to aid the farmers in drought
stricken areas of North Dakota.
Montana. Kansas. Oklahoma and
Texas. and is to be LOANED for the
sowing of winter wheat and rye.
100000 is allotted to North Dakota.
It is not intended that this fund
shall be used to make loans to far
mers who can obtain loans from
other sources. either on collateral or
personal credit. Emmons county has
on the whols fair crop. so there
will not be many who need this aid.
but those who do should Immediately
make application through their bank

case of "first come. first served"
When the 100000 is used up there is
no more available. The amount is

$500 maximum to the individual.
Interest is 6 per cent payable No

A threshing machine near Topeka,
Kansas was declared "slacker" by
government official for putting a
bushels for every 100 into the straw
pile. It's absolutely wrong to thresh

small growth that grasshoppers
can't harm it.
Up to date I have secured 80 farm
hands for different sections of the

demand will be greater. I wish those

Those having pure grain seed. send

1t augurs well for the future of
Emmons county to note the number
of pure bred cattle being shipped in

Much time, trouble and actual loss
In the operation Of the farm can be
saved II the implements and ma
chimes are well cared for and needed
repairs made before the spring rush
Of work begins. Some farmers wait
until it Is time to use the implements
then haul them out Of their winter
quarters. The man who follows this
practice may find that important Inn

the season is ripe for blowing or seed
Ing, which should be done without de-
lay, 1t is necessary for him to drop
-all other work and attend to the re-
pair job which could have been sdone
earlier in the season. Orders for re-
pnir parts and new machines should
be placed as soon as possible. This
will acquaint manufacturers and their
agents with the demand in different
sections and enable them to make the
best possible distribution. At the
same time, it will eliminate expensive
delays in transportation ut the busy
season.
Preserve All Machinery.
All practicable steps should be taken
to preserve machinery now on hand.
Needless exposure to the weather
should be avoided, and in cases where
1t is not practicable to house machin-
cry when idle, all bearings should
receive thorough application Of
heavy oil or grease to keep out moist
ure and prevent rust. It is believed
that on many farms machinery could
be more adequately sheltered in the
buildings available by exercising care
In placing them so as to economic
space.
Importance Of oiiine.
More damage can be done to a ma
chine in half an hour through lack of
oil or grease on some bearings than by
a whole seasons exposure to the
weather, SPECIALISTS of the United
States department of Agriculture de-
clare. For this sort Of neglect there
can be no excuse. 1t is said. Operat-
ing machine without fabrication. es-
pecially when the bearings are slight
ly rusty, will quickly result in the
wearing away Of the metal, often to Q
considerable depth. in very few min.
utes. Expensive breakages. as well
us serious delays, also may be caused
by operating machines on which nuts
have worked loose or have come of
entirely, allowing bolts to loosen OF
drop out.
Some consideration in the use and
care Of farm machinery are:
Orders for new equipment and re.
pair parts should be placed as soou
as possible.
To produce maximum results with
q minimum Of labor, new and modern,
machinery in large sizes should be
used wherever possible.
Serviceable equipment, not needed
should be sold or made available to
others.
Useless machinery should be return
ed to the channels Of trade as junk.
Thorough fabrication and proper
care when In use will materially
lengthen the period Of service Of farm
equipment.
More care should be given to pro.
tecting farm implements from the
weather.

THRIFT THE SHORTCUT TO WAR
SUCCESS.

Occasionally, when the private Ci.r
zen of limited income sits down 10
ponder the fact that the government
already has arranged 10 spend some
s2l ,C00,O0G goo for war purposes. he is
staggered. overwhelmed by the inn
mensity of the sum. There Is not
that much money in the United
States he says to himself. Il don't
see how it can be done
At first glance it does appear diff.

that that huge amount is more than
three times as much money as there
is in the United States treasury and

ton. But the big fact-the big fact
for the government and for the man
with limited incomes this all the
money in the United States will
change hands three times while the
s21 000,000,000 is being spent. The
workman in the field and in the min
and in the factory will receive his re
muneratiye pay; he will, in turn dis
burse his earnings some for the ne
cossities of life, some for his litlt
amusements and Injuries, and some
for his savings account
Here lies another big and importan,
fact. Not only will he save some Of
his earnings. but the grocer to whom
he gives part OF his earnings will save
some and so will the shoe dealer and
the doctor and the clothier and the
baker and the butcher All will save
some-and they will strive to put their
savings to the best possible use. How
best can they use their savings? All
things considered, they can do no
better than lend their money to the
government. which must be enabled to
continue to purchase iron and steel
and clothing and food and machinery
with which to carry on the war for
the world freedom that will spell con
tinued prosperity for all the people.
Unless the government is provided
with funds at this time to make new
contracts and pay for new materials
