FARM BUREAU PICNIC.


The Farm Bureau picnic which was
scheduled for May Gath, has been post
poned and will now be united with
the County School Picnic to be held
on June 9Th at the Fair Grounds,
Manchester, Ia. The Farm Bureau will
have a speaker who will talk on the
Farm Reconstruction Period and also
what the Farm Bureau is doing thru
out the United States. A ball game
will be matched between Adams and
Delhi Townships. This promises to be
one of the big events of the day. Thru
the efforts OF the County Superinten-
dent Mr.. Ram, editor, will referee
the game. It is the intention to have
an elaborate parade consisting of floats
which will be made up by the various
schools over the county. These floats
will indicate various historical events
in our history and promises to be a
great attraction. Prizes will be award
ed for the three best floats. We trust
that the farmers Of the county will
Join heartily in this countrywide pic
mic which is one OF the big events of
the year. It is hoped that the corn
planting will be done and farmers
{ will feel as though they can devote
day in which they may bring their
families and have real good time.
Remember the time and the place and
arrange your farm work accordingly.
FARM LOANS.
Farmers who are anticipating trans
ferring their lonas to take advantage
of the Government loans should take
up this matter during the next two
months with the Delaware County
Federal Loan Association. It is the
best time to get action on the loans
since the Government banking Off
cials are not so crowded as they are
during the first of the year and on
the first of Manrch. Even though
YOUR loan will not 60 into effect un-
til January or March it is well to
have all the preliminary work out
of the way and it will be only a mat
ter Of twenty-four hours to finish the
transaction when the loan is desired.
The way in which farmers are Sc
curing government aid is gratifying
The reports from all over the United
States indicates that the past year
has shown marvellous volume OF
business. Some counties in Iowa have
taken several thousand dollars OF Fed
eral Loans in one month.
II you are looking for cheap money
at long time it will pay you to in
vest in Federal Loans. For those
who are just starting out farming 1t
offers wonderful opportunity. The
farmers who owns farm and wish
es to make needed improvements so
as to secure greater efficiency on their
farms will be surprised at the reas-
enable terms which are offered to
them. The County Agent will be glad
to assist farmers in securing FEEDER
al Loans.
