FEDERAL AID FOR FALL WHEAT
FARMERS IN DROUGHT DIS
TRICTS

For the purpose of extending aid
TO farmers who have lost two conse
cutive fall grain crops through
drought or similar natural causes
the president has appropriated the
sum of 100000 to be loaned To
such farmers TO enable them to pur-
chase seed for this falls planting.
Loans VIII be made ON the basis of
50 per acre for not more than 100
acres for one farmer, but in each
case the farmer must be able TO
prove the loss of two consecutive
fall grain crops and that he has no
security or credit upon which he can
borrow $500. He must also snow
that his. land is well suited to fan
wheat or a substitute fall grain crop,
and that he has the machinery,
stock, etc. necessary to the product
ion OF a crop.
Tho procedure Is as follows:
Application blanks may me Sc
cured at the local bank and should
be filled out and left with the bank
err The county agent of that coun-
ty Tor the nearest agricultural agent
If there is none in the cobnty) will
inspect the application and inxcsti-
gateits truth and the standing Of the
applicant. IL the loan il approved
the representative of the department
of agriculture at Wichita, Kansas.
will be notified and II he approves
1T he will issue a certificate stat
ing that upon proof that the crop has
been properly planned the money will
be forthcoming. 1t is expected that
the local bank VIII carry the loan
between the time the seed is needed
and the time when 1t is planted aud
the government money is available.
At the time of proving proper
planting the farmer will make
note and chattel mortgage, maturing
October 1. 1919, and bearing inter
est at G per cent. and Will execute
a Guaranty Fund ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
ing that he will pay also IS cents
per acre planted for every bushel
by which the average yield of the
crop exceeds six bushels per acre.
with a maximum contribution of 10
cents per acre to the fund
In the opinion of the Commission
err OF the Colorado State Board OF
Immigration. who represented this
state the conference in Wichita
last week. there will be few APP
plications for loans in Colorado, as
the limitations are such that there
are no many farmers who are quaili-
fled to participate in the loan. 1t is
not intended to increase wheat pro-
duction but is solely for the purpose
OF aiding farmers who cannot buy
their own seed because of unfortun-
ate climatic conditions.
