Diversified Farming
! Is One Real Hope For
n !; Dakota, Says Quamme

sFzrgos.s.N. p.ss~"oct. 15.-Diversihed
farming is the great need in North
Dakota, according to e. G.. Quamme,
president of the Federal Farm Loan
bank at st. Paul and for IL years a
country banker in North Dakota.
I'VE cannot always keep up the
present system of exclusive grain
raising in North Dakota" said Mr..
Quamme in an interview here. There
must come a change. The present
price of wheat and the recent
phenomenal drop in prices, but ac-
centuate the fact that the change
must cone at once. This change
must be frem-the growing of wheat
to diversified, farming
Mr.. Quamme said the Federal
Farm Loan bank favors the farmer
who raises live stock when it comes
down to making loans. He said there
is a sound reason for this, because
the farmer who has a crop of live
stock to market, and especially the
farmer who has dairy cattle is a bet
ter loan risk. keeps up his payments
with the bank and is usually a u
cess, while the man who grows grain
only. is gambling with all the ele-
ments against his success.
Dairy cattle,f beef cattle, hogs,
sheep and diversified farming must
COME IN North Dakota or the future
looks dark, said Mr.. Quamme.
