OIL BOOM COMING?

Sioux City Tribune The middle
west with it's huge agricultural inter
ests is vitality concerned in the sale
Of $40, O00, 900 OF federal farm loan
bonds which began yesterday. All OF
the proceeds will be used to make
loans to the farmers, yet it is not the
farmer alone who will be benefited.
Every business which derives it's
prosperity from the prosperity Of the
farmers and there are many such
hereabOuts $780, is bound to feel some
stimulus from the thawing of frozen
credits.
This resumption Of the issue of
federal farm loan bonds may be con
sidered the first direct effect of the
recent decision of the supreme court
affirming the constitutionality Of the
farm loan act, including the tax ex-
emption feature Of the farm loan
bonds. While the question Of coDsti-
%tutionality was still pending more
than $500, 900, 900 Of these bonds
bearing only Az per cent were read.
lily subscribed to. With the present is,
sue bearing an interest rate of 5 per
cent and the the constitutionality
question permanently settled, an oy-
er subscription is indicated.
The gilt edge character of these
securities is well known. A majority
of the states have made them legal
investments for insurance companies
and trust companies, and for guard
ians and trustees, thus comforting a
privilege of which practically all Of
the large trust companies throughout
the country have availed themselves
in administering estates in their
charge. The federal government au-
thorizes the investment in these bonds
Of all trust funds in it's charge.
Some of the salient attractive fea-
lures of the bonds are:
Every mortgage is a first mortgage
upon land owned and cultivated by
the borrowers.
Loans are made only for useful ag.
ricultural purposes.
They must not exceed half the value
of the land and one-fifth the value
of the insured improvements as deter
mined by a federal appraiser.
They must be decreased annually
by payment on account of principal.
The borrower must become a mem

ton; the association must subscribe
to a like amount of the stock of the
bank and must guarantee the loans
Of all its members and its stock must
be held by the bank as security on its
guarantee.
Bonds shall be issued only against
mortgages examined and approved by
the Federal Farm Loan board.
Each of the federal land banks
must guarantee the bonds Of every
other bank.
The bonds are exempt from all
classes OF taxation, federal, state and
local.

A r INSPIRING

a man become famous because Of the
inspiration and help he gave to the
crippled people of the world. The
sudden death Monday Of Michael J.
Bowling. famous Minnesota banker,
who without the aid Of either legs or

the story of his life which has been
an inspiration to thousands Of people.
When only fourteen years old. Dow

nesota, facing the world alone with
out parents or relatives to help him.
During the winter he was caught in
a blizzard and frozen so badly that it
was necessary to amputate both legs
below the knee, his left arm and all
but one of the fingers on his right
hand. The doctor bills took all of his
earnings as a cattle herder and he was
placed in a county poor house to con.
valesce. But the indomitable spirit
of the boy would not be downed and
he induced the county authorities to
send him to Carleton college for two
years. He then taught school for
seven years, became a lawyer, founded
a newspaper, entered politics as sec.

P|CR|C ACID AIDS
IDAHO LAND CLEARING
FIRST CARLOAD FOR IDAHO GOES
TO BONNER COUNTY

The College Of Agriculture ha
forwarded to the Bureau Of Publ
Roads, U. S. Department of Agricul
Iture, an order for twenty -four til ous
and pounds of cartridged picric aciG
for use in land clearing by something
like forty farmers of Bonner County
This is the first order that has gone
forward from Idaho and one of the
first from the northwest The Bureau
of public roads has already acknowl-
edged receipt Of the order and has
stated that it would be filled from
from the U. S. depot at Sparta, Wis
consin, and the car started westward
soon after September LIST.
The Bonner County farmers, as will
be required of other counties that
order the picric acid for land clearing,
paid in advance six cents per pound
to cover the cost of cartridging and
guaranteed that the freight charges
and any cost of distributing the acid
would be taken care of. In most of
the counties interested the financial
side of the transaction is being hand
led through the banks The picric
acid will be distributed to Idaho far
mers at a cost of eleven to twelve
cents per pound.
AS was indicated in former issue
Of the News Letter, picric acid is one
of the leftover war explosives. The
total amount, something like twelve
million pounds, has been in storage
and tests have indicated it's effective
ness as an explosive for clearing
land of stumps and stones. These
tests, for the most part by the U. S.
Bureau of Mines, show that, when
put in cartridge form, picric acid is
a. slow explosive, comparatively safe
to use, used in the same way as low
dynamite and little more
powerful than dynamite. The deto |
nator used in exploding picric acid |
is a Number cap, rather than the
Number used with dynamite.
In order that picric acid may be
obtained at any considerable saving
as compared with the cost of dyna-
mite it must be ordered in carload l.
lots. In Idaho the orders are ham
iled by the College of Agriculture
after sufficient orders to make up
carload are collected by the county i
agent, each carload to be shipped toll
he railroad point most7convenient iC1
he greater number Of those inter-
,sted in the car. The College OF Ag-
,iculture is required by the Bureau
# Roads to agree to collect from the
'armers and report the number of
.cres OF land cleared by each farmer
With the use of cartridged picric acid.
70 one farmer may order or secure
more than one thousand pounds Of
he explosive.
The first carload for Idaho, as in
Heated above, will be shipped to [
standpoint for use by the farmers
f Bonner County. Latah, Kootenai
nd Boundary Counties will each
ave sufficient orders for carload {
f the acid ready within a few days.
