Sale Held Here.-Janesville Argus:
Otto Schafer drove his big Nash car
to Mankato Wednesday afternoon. He
was accompanied by o. o. Wiste and
J. F. Hogan The object of the trip
was to attend the big Poland China
on by l.. T. Silkey & Son, of Smiths
Mill. Mr.. Schafer informs US that
buyers were in attendance from many
states, Iowa, Illinois Indiana, the
Dakotas and Wisconsin. Forty.two
hogs were sold, some of them bring
ing over a hundred dollars. The at
tendance was large on account OF the
men in all the states that Mr.. Silkey
has none but the best, pure bred and
high grade. The sales were fair con-
sidering the conditions existing, the
aggregate received being STATS. Mr..
Silkey gave the crowd fine enter
tainment supplying delicious refresh
ment= among other things: Mr.
Schafer and Mr.. Hogan each pur,;;
start at once the hog business on q
scientific scale on their farms near
town This means much fol the well
fare of the industry in this vicinity:
The two men are to be commended
for having the nerve to branch out
into this field Of productive industry.
.
Worthy Observation-Disclosures En-
terprise: The movement looking for
ward to the naming Of the scenic
highway between Mankato and the
Twin cities in honor of the late John
Hohmann is indeed a commendable
one. No man in southern Minnesota
had a broader vision of the great
good to follow improved highways
than he. no man gave more literally
of his time and strength for its. &C
complishment. He was invariably
looking forward, planning for the pro-
future. building for the coming days
advocating in season and out of sea
SON and out for that class of roads
which would be of service at all
times of the year. "Hohmann High
way" would be monument to his
sacrifices, the commentator of his
fellows who will benefit by his pion-
eerlng to get out of the mud.

DISCUSS FARM CREDITS
No Mans Earning Power More
Certain Than The
Farmer
limited Press Dispatch.1

Crookston, Mimi, February IL
There is no one in the world whose
earning power is more than the far
mer, E. G. Quamme, president of the
st. Paul Federal Land bank, told
farmers and business men Of the Red
River Valley here today. For this
reason, he said, if no other, the far
mer deserves liberal credit.
"But there is one danger" he warn
ed, I'VE don't want to give the far
mer too much credit. In some places
the farmers have been spoiled with
too much credit. They never will
catch up until conditions are changed.
Their money is always spent before
they earn it. They never have a
margin-interest eats it up and some
one else is operating on the margin
the farmer should have"
Quamme addressed the convention
on. the subject Of farm credits. Hun
dreds of farmers OF the northwest are
here for the annual midwinter live
stock and agricultural shows and the
short course" in tanning ana home
economics at the Northwest school OF
agriculture. The farmer needs both
long term and short term credits I
Quamme told the convention.
Long Time Credit.
Long term credit Is required to
take care of his capital investment to
cover the cost of land and equip
ment; short term credit is seasonably
required to take care or SEED, reeo,
labor, operating expenses, tee. There
is. therefore, clear line Of division
between short term and long term
credit to farmers.
Long term or capital investment
credit should be extended over long
period of time, repayable on the
sterilization plan with low rate Of
interest; short term credit should be
available at all times according to the
needs of the farmer and the rate Of
interest would be such as is usually
paid by business generally. This
classification of credit would apply to
agriculture generally where the farm
ing community is established.
I'm newer sections where pioneer
Ing must be done, another form of
credit must be considered which does
not come strictly under either one OF
the two classifications. The pioneer
farmer must receive special consider
alton and assistance during the init
ial period until he has had time to
firmly establish himself on the farm.
AS he has very little security to Of
ter in the initial stage of his operation
the credit he receives must be more
or less Of personal nature and
while the credit will be extended on
a short time basis, it really takes on
the character Of combination of
both short time and long time credit"
