EVAN BABSON SEES

Sometimes big business men are
told BY their own agents that their

just c0mman iars-sometimes.

has gotten away with it. You know,

You know, also, don't you, how the

Well, even Roger thinks this was
going bit too far. So he gently
chides his masters as follows:
We found that the big daily papers
had generally featured the convention

the extremely hot weather, which
found nearly all farmers cutting grain
on North Dakota Bond Selling Day.
Reports are coming in rather slow
ly, but if the present average of $70O
per precinct is kept up, the total sub
scribed in North Dakota will be close
to two million dollars-a splendid
showing, in view of backward finan-
cial conditions.
The North Dakota bond selling cam
paign is still on, and we are appeal
ing to those who were unable to par
ticipate in the Bond Day drive, to get
out and do their part at the first op-
portunity. Stick some bond applica-
tions in your pocket when you go to
town, or visit your neighbors, or go
out threshing, and get your friends to
sign up. Many Of our boosters are do
ing that, and are meeting with sue
cess.
Remember these points: North Da-
kota bonds have been given the high
est rating (AAA) same as U. S. bonds
Mill and Elevator bonds bear 6 per
cent interest, payable Jan 1st and Ju-
ly 1st each year. These bonds are tax
free in North Dakota and exempt
from Federal taxes. Liberty bonds will
be taken in exchange for North Da-
kota bonds at the going market price
of Liberty bonds.
Payment may be made by check,

divided into three monthly payments
of 30 per cent each until paid. Small

100000 DRIVEN
FROM STATE BY IVA.

IF the /. v. A. had not opposed
the state industrial program the stata
of North Dakota would have sold ST.
10000 Of its bonds several months
ago; that money would now have been
in circulation in this state and we
would not have had such a severe fl
nancial depression here as we are now
having" said well known Fargo
business man who refused to allow
his name in an interview. "Just think
what this amount of money would
have meant for the farmers and the
business men of North Dakota at this
time.
"The Bank of North Dakota would
not have been obliged to register the
checks now and there would have been
virtually no bank failures in North
Dakota instead Of about half hun
dred having to close their doors the
past IL months. The Bank of North
Dakota would have had plenty mon
ey to loan on farms at per cent or
even less at q time when the private
banks and mortgage companies are
charging up to 10 percent in many
cases.
4The home building association
would have been able to keep right On
building city homes and helping young
couples start out on farms. The state
mill and elevator association would
have had the big mill and elevator at
Grand Forks in operation, building up
a great state industry by which mil
lios Of dollars would have been kept
circulating in North Dakota instead
Of flowing out of the state.
"These are only the outstanding eff
fects on the I. v. A. grain gambler
and big banker politicians obstruc-
ZIONIST tactics during the past two
years. There is not person in North
Dakota who has at all kept in touch
with the political developments here
who does not know that the anti
farmer politicians are wholly respon-
sible for the blocking so far, of the
sale of the state bonds. The bonds are
being sold now by the Bank of North
Dakota despite the Wall Street boy
colt but the delays caused by the I.
V. A. lawsuits, special elections and
lying propaganda has resulted in mil
lions Of dollars Of loss to the business
men, farmers and laborers.
"This recall election is only part Of
the /. v. A. plan to further obstruct
the sale Of bonds. They do not expect
to win in the election, but if Wall
Streets hope that by keeping up these
blocking tactics they may eventually
wear out the peoples courage and that
the Leaguers will tire of the fight.
The big /. v. A. bosses are not even
attempting to conceal this purpose
any longer.s They admit that the sole
purpose Of their fight now is to wreck
the farmers movement by firing out
the League members"

FEEDING ADVISED FOR &-f r
CORN GROWER

Fargo, N. D. Aug. 1O-Feeding
sheep and cattle land "hogging off
corn, as a method of marketing the
large yield Of mature corn promised in
North Dakota this fall, is advised by
Prof. ]. H. Sheppard, chairman Of the
animal husbandry department of the
North Dakota Agricultural College.
Prof. Shepard points to the low price
of stock this fall, the unusual spread
between feeders and fat stock on the
terminal markets, and the prospect
of an early matured corn crop, as his
reasons for believing that stock feed
ing should be a reasonably safe ven-
ture this fall, if conducted right.
"The farmer who fails to make pro-
vision for marketing his corn crop is
making mistake" Prof. Sheppard
says. II have seen grower find late
in March that he must move his corn
shocks from his field in a hurry, and
has sold them for song.
The spread on the st. Paul market
early in August, between feeder cat.
tie and fat stock was around 81 9
hundred, and in the case Of sheer
sometimes more. The losses sustained
by feeders last year, the uncertainty
Of whether the market will be stable
and the difficulty Of securing credit
for purchasing feeding stock, has
caused feeders to be slow in entering
the market this fall, with consequent
slump in prices for their class od
stock.
Corn at the Agricultural Expert.
ment station at Fargo promises to ma
ture nearly two weeks earlier thii
year than usual. This means that ma
ture corn, with resultant good yields
should be general. Early in August
corn on the stalk was fed to the hogl
! on pasture, to prepare them for beinl
| turned on the corn crop.
