DRY SECTIONS
Will Promote Amortized
Plan of Loans to Farmers,
Beginning at Beach.

Beach, n. ~, April 30.-A mass
meeting Of tine farmers and business
men of Golden Valley county will be
held here next Tuesday, at which Max
Morgan of the North Dakota Extern
sion division. live stock specialist. will
present IA project looking toward the
financing OF farmers in hat locality
for the purchasing of from two to
five head of grade Holstein cattle for
each farmer interested.
Believing that the only salvation
for farmers in the drier areas of
North Dakota. is to have some steady
income to fall back upon in dry
years, and realizing that at the pres
ent time many farmers in the west
crn part of the state are unable to f.
rance themselves, Mr.. Morgan has
worked out q. plan for the organiza-
ton Of a. live stock credit company. to
be financed by the business mon
within the county if possible, which
will loan the farmers sufficient CAPT.
tai to purchase a few dairy animals.
At the same time, the credit COM
pany will have %gilt-edged security for
money advanced in Che form Of a
chattel mortgage on the cows pur-
chased and on all female %offsprine
until the mortgage is paid in full, ir
=, addition TO the farmers note for thu
amount Of his loan. A. similar plar
is now working successfully at Mari
nette, Wis. @
Amortized Plan Favored.
Loans will be paid by the farmer!
on the amortization plan. SO the Sc
curity compared to the aInoun of til,
loan will constantly increase in mag
nitude. Loans will be made only t.
responsible farmers who are in SHAPE
to care for dairy cattle on thei
farms. Inspection will be made. fou
times annually by an experienced
dairy man, who will make suggestion
to the farmer regarding the care o
his herd.
According to the plan. none of tn
cows purchased will cost more thai
$3.50. Payments on the loan VIII b
divided into sc equal monthly install
ments. The farmer will pay six pc
cent interest each year on the tota
amount of the loan together with
small charge to cover tho expense o
the quarterly inspections by the dair
specialist.
