FARMERS AID IN SIGHT
100000 Fund May Be Avail
able in Three Weeks.
Relief to Northwest Seen In Prospec'
tive Sale Of Sixty Million Federal
Farm Loan Bonds.

st. PAULA fund ranging up to
100000 may become available with
in the next three weeks to northwest
ern farmers who have been confronted
with scarcity of loanable funds, it
became known Friday.
A decision from the band syndicate
that has been offered $60,000,000 Of
federal farm loan bonds, of which ap-
proximately 100000 would become
available for northwestern farmers, is
expected within the next few days, E.
G. Quamme, governor Of the st. Paul
Federal Land bank, said. Sale of the
bonds soon, Mr.. Quamme said, would
make it possible to make first loans
from the 100000 fund by the middle
of April, on per cent mortgages run
ming 80 years. The recent decision Of
the United States supreme court en-
powered the federal land banks to pay
S per cent on bonds and charge 6 per
cent on mortgages.
Pending decision by the bond syndi'
cate which may underwrite the issue,
MIR. Quamme refused to outline spe.
officially the plans of the northwestern
land bank other than to say that &C.
commodation would be extended to
farmers as rapidly as reasonable loan
applications could be approved:
Minneapolis bankers pointed to
the prospective agricultural relief from
the farm land bank as distinct.
|lY bright feature of the outlook ONLY
second to it, they said, is the prospect
that relief to the extent of $4,000.
900 is soon to be extended to drouth
stricken areas in North Dakota and
Montana, under the appropriation re.
Gently made by the federal govern.
ment. Minneapolis bankers said they
were being flooded with inquiries as
to the way in which this relief was
to be extended.

Choice OF Three Marketing Metheds
Offered by Committee Of Una.
;&ional Ratification Convention
at Chicago April 8.

st. Paul-lndOrsement OF the pan
Of the Committee Of Seventeen for the
farmers Of America to market their
grain through a national sales agency
was given at q convention in st. Paul
Of $50 accredited representatives OF
$4,000 farmers in Minnesota.
Six delegates were chosen to repre-
sent Minnesota at the national farmers
convention in Chicago April 6, when
the plan will be presented for ratffica-
ton by farmers organizations in all
parts Of the country.
To stabilize the grain market and
prevent violent price fluctuations at
crop distribution time, the committee
Of seventeen proposes to organize all
the grain farmers of the country into
local, grain belt and national units Tor
cooperative marketing of their crops.
Three Methods Offered.
"A choice, of three marketing methods
is offered the farmers-to sell directly
to the national sales agency and divide
the profits on a patronage dividend
basis; to sell the grain on consignment
to the national agency, the agency to
act as a selling medium and obtain the
best price possible; the local elevator
or group Of elevators, or possibly the
entire spring wheat district to pool
their entire output.
Heads of the five farmers organiza-
lions indicated their approval Of the
selling plan. The Minnesota Farm Bu-
! reau federation favors the proposal.
and J. M. Anderson, president Of the
Equity Exchange, who also is mem.
Der Of the committee of seventeen, said
the exchange and also the Minnesota
Union Of the American Society Of
Equity would strongly support the
plan.
Delegates for Plan.
Delegates of the Minnesota Farmers
Grain Dealers association conducted a
caucus at the West hotel last night
and polled a majority vote in favor of
the selling agency. The Minnesota
grange, the fifth organization, also ia
vors the plan.

al sales agency. This agency would
absorb as nucleus the various CO.
operative elevators Of the country.
| Under this system, the individual
farmer would sign a contract with his
local cooperative elevator to market
his grain through it for period of five
years. The elevator in turn would sign
similar contract with the national
sales agency. Choice of one of the
three methods outlined for the market
ing of the crop would remain with the
individual grower.
Another function of the national SELL
ing agency would be to provide a for
eign outlet for surplus crops.

Elevator Blast
ROCKS CHICAGO
EXPLOSION Releases Vast Flood OF
Burning Grain, Trapping
Several Victims.
Y ARE REPORTED DEAD
Loss 10 Estimated at $1,000, 900; Fire
men Unable to Fight Flames.
Plate Glass Windows SKATER :
ed In Surrounding Towns.

Chicago-Twelve men were killed in
an explosion and fire that destroyed
the Armour Northwest elevator plant
of the Armour Grain company. The
plant was said to be the largest grain
elevator in the world. The loss is
estimated at $6,000,000.
The explosion was terrific. 1t broke
plate glass windows In surrounding
towns. At Whiting, Ind, practically
every window in the downtown dis
trict was shattered Benton Harbor,
Mich, and Laporte, Ind, also reported
windows broken by the blast.
One hundred and fifty men had left
the elevator a short time before an ex-
plosion wrecked several of the 26 units
Of the plant. Fire spread rapidly
through the structure.
First reports indicated the loss Of
life would be heavy, but Fire Marshal
Buckley said careful check showed
only IL men were in the plant at the
time Of the explosion. All Of these are
believed to be dead.
Total Cost 100000.
The elevator, which consisted of g.
series Of steel and concrete towers,
was located in the southern outskirts
of the city on the banks Of the Calumet
river. It was built at cost Of more
than $10,000,000 and was operated by
the Armour Grain company.
The explosion was due, it was said
1>1~ NJ r. vrv1S~ u mi
to a fire that started in loading chute.
The blaze set fire to the Justified air
and the resulting blast rent asunder
the big tower, releasing thousands Of
bushels of grain. -.
Blast DeraiIed Freight Train.
So great was the force of the explo-
sion that it hurled great concrete.
blocks for hundreds of feet and de-,
rallied freight train which was stand
ing on track beside the elevator. The
few men in the elevator are thought to,
have been trapped by the food Of blaz.
ing grain.
An hour after the explosion the heat
was so terrific that the firefghters
were unable to get their apparatus
near enough to play water ON the
flames. Their entire efforts were con-
fined to saving other property in the
vicinity.
Loss at Whiting 100000.
The heaviest sufferer among nearby
towns was Whiting where the property
loss there, according to merchants, will
reach 100000.
Normally about 100000 bushels of
grain are stored in the elevator but at
the time of the blast there was only
about 100000 bushels. This was de-
stroyed by IT fire that ragged after the
explosion.
According to one eye witness there
were three separate explosions, the
last being the most severe. The ex-
plosions tore the entire top off the eles
vator. This was of light steel-concrete
construction and was designed so that
in case of an explosion the force Of the
blast would be spent through the up
per part of the elevator-like the
mouth Of great cannon.
So great was the force of the blast,
however, that the tower itself was
shattered, great pieces of concrete
from it's sides being thrown about in
all directions.
