Board of Directors of Ham
., ilton County Farm Bu-
reau Adopts Res0-
lutions.
FARM PRODUCE LOW
Say Passage of Farm Loan
Act Would Help Rural
Communities.

! The board of directors of the Ham
ilton County Farm Bureau held a
meeting in this city Saturday afternoon
at the office of County Agent Chris
Jensen at the city hall. Considerable
business of Importance was transacted,
chief among which was the adoption
of resolutions favoring the farm loan
act.
The matter of the publication Of the
Farm Messenger, official monthly publ
cation Of the Farm Bureau, was taken
up and bids opened. The Freeman
Journal submitted proposition to
give the bureau outright two columns
of space weekly in each the daily and
twice week editions, said space to
be controlled wholly by the Farm Blu
reau and to be used in lieu of the
Messenger This service was offered
free. 1t may later be accepted. For
the present, however, the Messenger
will be published as usual.
A resolution was unanimously adopt
ed urging an increase in the state APP
|propriation for the eradication of
Tuberculosis among live stock on the
theory that its eradication safe
guards humanity.
Farm Loan Act.
The resolution favoring the farm
loan act follows:
Be it resolved by the board of d.
rectors of the Hamilton County Farm
Bureau:
That it notes with grave concern
certain efforts by special and selfish
interests to attack and discredit the
farm loan act, and deplOres the fact
that. owing to such attacks, relief by
means of loans at reasonable rates OF
interest has been denied at critical
periOd to the producers Of commodities
vital to the existence Of the people of
the United States.
That the permanent withdrawal OF
the assistance which has been afforded
through the instrumentality of the
farm loan law to the farmers of the
United States would result in the i'm
mediate advance of interest rates for
farm mortgage loans and the material
enhancement of the cost Of production
of food commodities.
That it has been conclusively demon
strated by the most careful invest1ga-
ton and scientific research that the
prices of farm products are, under the
most favorable conditions, below the
cost Of production, and that any in
cerase in interest rates paid by the
farmer will, of necessity, create such
margin as he will be able no longer
to absorb.
That such a condition will be disas-
trOus not only to the farmers but to
the entire nation, in that the food sup
ply will be inevitably diminished and
thc people of the country be confronted
by actual want.
That the Judgment of the board of
directors in the light of these cOnsld-
crationS and representing as 1t does
large body of the farmers of Hamilton
county. is that federal farm loan bonds
