new DAIRY MEASURES
HELPING C0-OPERATIvES

The new dairy laws are already
making the milk producing industry
more profitable in North Dakota, ac-
cording to Dairy Commissioner Oster-
hous. The local cooperative cream
cry is being found to. be the best
marketing place for butterfat. This
is due to the fact that the creamery
runs on the cooperative plan and is
not out for profits, but to give service.
Cream buyers working for centralizers
or creameries ut distance have no in
terest in the community, and IL they
do not please their customers, pick up
and move on.
Samples Of cream are being checked
over by the dairy department here.
In a number of cases under grading
has been detected. This represents a
loss of from so cents to several dol
lars q day to dairymen. In other in
stances over grading is apparent.
This is considered by the dairy de-
partment to be equally unfair.
Too large a per cent of North Da-
kota milk is shipped outside the state
to be manufactured into butter, says
the dairy commissioner. There are
centralizers in Minneapolis running en-
tirely on shipments of cream from
North Dakota points 400 miles away.
The butter made from this cream,
which sours on the way, is not as good
as that made before decomposition
sets in.

FIRST STATE FARM 1. N
LOAN FOR $4,000

The first formal application for a
farm loan was received by the Bank
Of North Dakota last week. It was
for $4,000, and from q farmer in the
central part Of the state. The money
is desired to purchase dairy cows,
build barns, and pay OF old debts,
which are drawing excessive interest.
The farm consists of 1.400 acres, and
is calculated by the owner at from $50
to $50 an acre. Before the loan can
be made, the application for a mort
gage must be referred to the commits
.sioner Of university and school lands,
W., j. Prater. He will call upon the
school land appraisers, consisting Of
the county auditor, the superintendent
Of schools and the chairman of the
board of county commits sioners, to go
out to the land and estimate Its value.
The Bank Of North Dakota will loan
up to SO per cent Of the value Of farm
lands. Whether so per cent loan is
made Isl discretionary, and will depend
on the Character Of the security and
the reputation of the borrower. ,i5 3
If this loan Is accepted, the farmer
will pay back the whole $50 600, IN
80 years, merely by paying interestSat
the rate Of 4 per cent. 4

FARM Credit
IS IN OPERATION
Farmers Can Settle Loans BY
Paying Moderate Interest
For Number Of Years.

How would you like to get rid OF
debt by merely paying moderate
rate of interest and having part Of this
interest applied to the loan until 1t
was paid? This is the North Dakota
PLAN of rural credits at cost and 1t
was put into actual operation, begin
mig. with this week, through the Bank
of North Dakota. From now on all
citizens able to give land security can
borrow money and will not have to
worry about paying the principal back.
BY paying rate interest lower than
what they have been paying in the
past, they wipe out the original loan.
Applications for almost two hundred
farm loans are now before the director
general, F. w. Cathro. Transfer Of
public funds to the Bank Of the -PeO-i
pie is now under way, and loans can
soon be issued. All applicants for
money under the amortization Of the
state bank are being sent the follow
ing letter of instruction, which sets
forth the details Of operation:
"Under the plan of cheap rural
credits farm loans will be repaid over
a period Of 80 years. At the end OF
this period, the entire loan will have
been extinguished. s 5s.s ',$
Pay Per Cent Yearly
"The installment rate is per cent.
This includes an interest rate Of g
per cent, and 1 per cent for costs Of
operation. Many farmer is paying
more than z per cent to private
company for loan and then has his
principal to pay off. Under the state
plan, payment of per cent year on
the original principal will wipe out
the entire debt. The saving in inter
est arising from annual payments on
the principal will pay everything of.
"The following table shows the
method Of payment. 1t is based on a
loan Of $1,000. 1t will be noticed that
the yearly amount repaid is $40. The
payments indicated in the table as ex-
tending after the thirtieth are to be
included with the thirtieth annual In
