Farmers in .
New Corporation
FARMER-BANKER COMMITTEE
TO PLAN CREDIT CLEARING
HOUSE AUTHORIZED.

An agricultural finance corporation
TO provide additional credit for pro-
duction and marketing is being plan
ned for Minnesota.
The board of directors of the Min
nesota Farm Bureau federation, IN
session during the Midwest Farm
Bureau conference, authorized the
organization of joint committee of
farmers and bankers to work out
means of forming such corporation.
It would serve as clearing house to
distribute available agricultural cred
it where it is most needed.
By pooling information and credit
resources, more money could be pro-
yided to meet the seasonal demands
of agriculture in various parts of the
state, the farm bureau directors said.
The movement would be based on
full cooperation with the bankers of
the state, the directors said. :.
The Minnesota corporation would
be the second in the northwest. The
Iowa Farm Bureau federation has or
ganized a committee of Is farmers
and Is bankers, who are now estab-
fishing an agricultural finance COM
pany for that state.
Taxation, farm legislation, CO.
operative marketing and high freight
rates were discussed by officers OF II
state farm bureau federations, who
met at headquarters of the Minnesota
federation July 19 and 20. UNIFIED
action by farm and commercial inter-
ests, through national conference to
be called by the farm bureaus, was
proposed.
The directors Of the Minnesota fed
Grafton decided on several important
policies.
They voted to help finance the
launching of the centralized market
ing enterprises for livestock and dairy
products, by loaning up to $4,OOO to
the Minnesota Central Co-operatlve
Commission company and up to $3,Ooo
to the Minnesota Cooperative Cream
cries association, Inc.
They voted to defend the interests
of Minnesota farmers before the IN
terstate commerce commission Wnen
it opens hearings in August on re-
duction of freight rates on farm pro.
ducts. Mr.. Thos. E. eastman, OF
Owatonna was named to represent
Minnesota.
They ordered further investlgatlon
of money saving that might be made
by buying coal comparatively direct
from the mine. This information will
be laid before the farmers IN each
county. and each community will de-
eide for itself whether to pool coal
orders.
They also conferred with leaders OF
university extension work and all
county agent leaders to work out plans
for unified efforts to improve agr1cui-
tural conditions.

Clague Bill Is
Sent to House
RELIEF FOR COUNTY FINANCI-
ERS is SEEN BY OCTOBER l.
SESSION is STORMY.

Washington, July 22.-After a
stormy session the House Committee
on Banking and Currency today voted
to report out the Clague bill increas-
ing the authorized rate of interest on
Federal Land bank and Joint stock
bank bonds from 5 to 5 u per cent.
The opposition of the Eastern mem
bers to the bill was overcome through
the Endorsement of President Charles
E. Lobdell of the Farm Loan bureau,
who wrote to the chairman of the COM
mittee on the subject. Former Re
preventative A. L. Lever, w. S. A.
Smith and w. H. Joyce, members of
the Farm Loan board, were present
at today's hearings and supported
Representative Clague of Minnesota in
urging the immediate passage of the
bill.
Mr.. Clague submitted large batch
of letters from country bankers of the
Northwest in support of the measure.
One was from j. H. Allen of Des
Moines, who expressed the opinion that
the passage of the bill will do more to
relieve the pressure on the banks in
smaller towns~than any measure that
is now being considered by Congress
Mr.. Allen went so far as to say that
30 or 40 banks in Iowa will get into
trouble if some relief is not afforded
by raising the rate of interest on the
bonds affected by the bill.
As a similar bill introduced by Sen
ator Kenyon of Iowa has already pass
ed the Senate, it is believed that relief
can be afforded the country banks by
October 1 if the House acts promptly.
The Federal Land banks have only
recently fioated $40,000,00O in Farm
Loan bonds and will issue 100000, 900
Immediately upon the passage of the
Clague bill. The joint stock banks
will place $25 100000 in bonds on the
market if the bill passes. This, it is
said, will release something like $780,
100000 in frozen credits and greatly
improve the financial condition Of the
Northwest.
At the suggestion of Secretary of
the Treasury Mellon, who also has
indorsed the bill, its operation was
limited to June 80, 1928. 1t is regard
ed by the secretary as an emergency
measure and on this account he has
indorsed it.

Halbeft NJ. Ball
Taken by Death
PROMINENT RESIDENT OF COUN
TY DIES FRIDAY AT
WORCHESTER, MASS.

Halbert NJ. Ball died Friday, July
% at the home of his daughter, Mrs.
Bavis at Worchester, Mass. The body
was brought to Redwood Falls for
burial arriving here Monday and the
burial service will be held at the
Presbyterian church at ten o'clock to-
day wednesday, with DR.. A. w. Ross
officiating. The services will be und-
er the direction Of the Commandery.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ball have been spend
ing the last several months with their
daughter and her family and were pre-
pairing to return to the west at the
time Mr.. Ball died. He had been i'll
for some time prior to his death, suf-
fering from hardening of the arteries,
but was very much improved in health
apparently, and he and his wife were
planning to start, with their daughter
on their westward trip. It was while
Mr.. Ball was strapping his trunk pre-
paratory to the trip, that he was sud-
denly sticken and never regained con-
sciousness, death coming very soon
after the seizure.
Halbert M. Ball was born in
Chemung County, New York March l,
1849 and came west to Wisconsin in
1855. He came to Minnesota when
eighteen years of age, locating first in
Brown county At first he worked at
/ the building and contracting trade,
later taking farm in Eden township.
He lived in Brown county until 1892,
serving long term as county COM
| missioner while resident there. In
1892 he came to Redwood county and
year later he took the leadership in
the organizing Of the State Bank of
Morgan He served as cashier and
| manager of the bank until 1913 when
he became it's president. 1t was dur
ing Mr.. Ball tenure of office that the
State Bank of Morgan built the
splendid bank building which it now
occupies.
Mr. Ball was united in marriage to
Miss Augusta Hartwick in 1874 and
to them were born five children One
daughter died in childhood and the
others who, with their mother, survive
the fathers death, are two daughters
Mrs. Bavis of Massachusetts,, Mrs.
Frank Gerstman of Morgan and tive
sons, William H. of Redwood Falls
and Walter of Powell, Wyoming.
Since his retirement from active
business duties Mr.. Ball has spent
much of his time here at the home of
his son and it is with sincere regret
that the residents of Redwood Falls
learn of his death. He was man
respected by all who knew him for his
sturdy religious principles, his alb
solute integrity in business dealings
and for his fine, outstanding PERSONAL
ty. Throughout his residence of
Morgan he was foremost in all move
ments for the betterment and upbuild-
ing of the village, taking an active
part in the work Of the Presbyterian
church of which he was a member, on
the board of education of which he
was a member for many years and
many other civic and religious organ
izations. Fraternally he was in the
membership of the Keystone Lodge
No. 81 A. F. and A. M. of Morgan, the
Commandery of Redwood Falls and
with the Morgan Lodge of the
