WILL HELP IOWA FARMERS
Bill to Become Law VIII Give Farm
ing Sections the Relief Thought
Necessary.

Relief to farmers who have been
hampered in their operations by lack
of credit is seen by officials of the
Omaha Federal Loan Bank in a bill
authorizing the United States treas
ury to buy 500, 1000, 600 of farm loan
bonds. This measure, which is
sponsored by Senators Swanson and
Glass, has been lavurably reported to
the senate and dispatches indicate
that it will be incorporated in the
agricultural appropriation bill.
with this sum great deal could
be done to relieve conditions on the
farms and in the small towns" said
Merton l.. Corey, general attorney
for the Omaha land bank. "The
share of this district, which includes
Nebraska, Iowa, Wyoming and South
Dakota, probably would amount to
$40, 100000 and this money would
make vast improvement il put in
circulation here.
"The federal farm loan banks,
which have been tied up by a suit
attacking their right to issue tax
exempt bonds, would be able TO
resume business full blast through
the spring and early summer. 1t is
probable that we would have to
make a careful selection of borrow
ers and not attempt to refund other
mortgages, but only take new bus
mess"
The Omaha land bank made loans
approximating $4S,000,000 in per-
iod of little more than two years.
Payment is on an amortization plan,
and less than $4,000 Of payments on
100000 due In the last 80 days are
said to remain unpaid.

OIL MAKES ANITA
MAN MILLIONS
LARGE SUMS ALREADY PAID To
FAMILY, BUT LATEST Is
FABULOUS SUM.

Reports emanating from Anita
link the name of Leon G. Voorhees,,
banker of that town, with stories of
fabulous offer for his interests i'm
the Voorhees, oil land holdings in
Oklahoma. ...
The amount of the rumored offer
is staggering in size, especially in
community where the biggest sums
thousands or a possible hundred
thousand at the most.
1t is said the young banker, who
is now in the Oklahoma oil fields,
has been offered $2,000,000 for his
holdings. The latter embrace, it is
known, some supposedly rich oil
lands. Il is fact the Voorhees, eof-
fers haze been immensely enriched
within the last three or four years
by the sale of leases.
That the holdings were so valua-
BILE as to command any such figure
as a million or two of dollars was
not dreamed of by friends of the
Voorhees, family. Yet, business men
close to the banker are authority
for the reported offer.
1t Is said that wells sunk on the
Voorhees, land by companies holding
leases are proving immense wealth
producers. Voorhees, would receive
under the terms of the leases. the
customary one-eighth royalty.
The rumors concerning this latest
development in the Voorhees, oil
land interests, while not confirmed,
are so persistent that his friends are
about ready to accept them as true.

tax return, which will some time

Inventory Plan VS.. Cash and Receipt
Plan

tax return, which will some time
end in financial gain for him.
Inventory Plan VS.. Cash and Receipt
Plan
1t is optional with the farmer as
to which plan he uses in making his
return, but there are some advan-
tages to the Inventory Plan, espe-
cially, since the Internal Revenue
Commission has made this new rul-
ing. This new ruling makes it pos
.sible to put in the opening inventory
at the beginning of the year. You
will perhaps remember that previous
ly you could not do this. Further, it
calls for you to make an Estimate
inventory back to 1917, il you never
had reported on the inventory plan
previous to this time. In some cases
1t might make a slight change in the
amount of your returns in former
years but it is hardly probable that
you'll have to make an additional re-
turn on the former years business,
as the inventory plan of return
should not raise your cash and re-
ceipt plan only in rare cases. 1t is
the opinion of the farm management
people that ii is a good time to
change to the inventory plan, as they
firmly believe that it will save a
farmer money over period of years.
NOTE-The above farm record
books spoken of may be obtained
free of charge at the Farm Bureau
office. Also you may be able to get
any explanation of the book that you
may desire at this office, and also
assistance in closing your book at
the end of the year, if you might
need IL.
