Farm Expert Credit
Bill Wins Approval

Prospects for the passage of federal
act regulating the packing industry are
bright, according to statement au-
thorized today by the Washington office
of the American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton. Senate and house cOnferees have
reached an agreement on the regulation
bill, and bureau officials predict its final
passage before the senate takes recess.
The senate bill authorizing an increase
in the interest rate on federal farm
land bank bonds and joint stock land
bank bonds from 5 to So per cent, in
order to make them more readily mar
ketable, has been favorably reported by
the house committee on banking and
currency. Under the terms Of the bill,
the interest on loans to farmers by
these banks is not increased it is now
per cent. 5.. $500
The Capper-V Olstad cooperative mar
keting bill, however, which has passed
the house, has been reported by the
senate judiciary commit tee with amend
ments which practically destroy its use
fitness to the farmers, according to
Gray Silver, the federation's Washing
ton representa- ives. This bill, as passed
by the house, would guarantee to pro-
ducers in all states the rights OF CO.
operative marketing already guaranteed
by the Minnesota legis1at ure, farm bu-
reau officials say. Organized agricul-
ture Is putting up q strong fight for
passage Of the bill as approved ii the
lower house.

Economic Conditions
Probed by Bureaus

D r .. : = s ~
Two statewide surveys were begun
today by the Minnesota Farm Bureau
federation to find out the exact effect
of present economic conditions on the
states normal agricultural develop
ment. z E
At the request of the state fedora
ton, county farm bureaus began gather
ing information on purchases of farm
machinery and on farm improvements
made during the last six months.
The great handicap of agriculture,
in its fight for legislative relief and III
its business Developments, always has
been lack Of accurate, specific infor-
nation, farm bureau officers said. One
of the great services the farm bureau
is doing for the farmer, and for the
rest Of the country as well, is the
gathering Of authoritive data showing
conditions as they actually exist in the
production of the nations food. The
severity of the setback suffered BY
farmers because Of the present condi-
tons will be reflected in their ability
or inability to make improvements on
their farms, and to buy needed equip
ment.' . s
A similar survey just completed
showed that in 40 counties, farmers
have to pay from 8 to 10 per cent In
Sterest on short time loans, and that III
g counties q bonus was required on
long term loans.

This Year a Record Breaker

81 However, new high records in high
way Improvement this year are assured
the state with road funds from all
sources expected to exceed $4,000, 600.
The trunk funds include nearly &c. OO,-
600 Of motor vehicle taxes, $1,000, 900
of county bond money and probably ST..
$40. 900 Of federal aid, it is estimated,
while counties will have nearly $12,-
500, 900 to spend on the laterals or feed
er roads SIC, $4,000 of local tax rev.
enue and 81 $50, 600 Of state aid.
Extra organization work accomplish
ed and urgent projects under way after
the first strenuous three months period,
c Commissioner Babcock expects the
trunk system to show steadily increas-
ing results. While three can be no let
up, little difficulty is anticipated in
keeping things moving. Weak spots in
the organization are bringing changes
and by fall the trunk highway forces
will aim at 100 per cent efficiency.
Strives for Practical Results
Commissioner Babcock' S policy, as an
nounced at the outset, is to get the ut
most in quick results this season by
maintenance work and to steadily build
showings in the future.
Minnesota new highway laws were
passed and Commissioner BabcOck was
reappointed under them April 25. Until
that time the commissioner was with
out authority or funds to make even
preliminary surveys. He started at the
very beginning with the construction
season already on. Then came the an
nouncement that greatest stress would
be laid on maintenance this year.
f Designations of temporary locations
Of trunk routes listed in the Babcock
amendment. were rushed, and as the.
roads were taken over, patrOlmen were
found for the 5 or 6 mile sections. Also,
big truck and tractor fleets went in to
| the field to shape them up for the pa
trolmen where necessary.
Poor Links Fixed First
Attention was given then to the new
IconstructiOn projects. Acting on the
principle that a chain is no stronger
than its weakest link, a policy Of first
building up poor stretches in long mile
ages Of otherwise good roads was adopt
! ed.
| Commissioner Babcock with John H.
Mullen, assistant commissioner ana
chief road engineer, began tour OF
trunk routes. Covering about 200 miles
a day, they picked out sections in need
of early improvement. Then as the or
der of projects took form, directions
were wired to the st. Paul Offices, sur
vey parties were dispat ched and plans
made on which to call for bids.
Promoting competi ton by arranging
three lettings on lists Of 81, 0O0, 900 each
about. q month apart, COMMISSIONS
Babcock secured bids on grading and
lgraveling averaging about 40 per cent
under 1920 costs, and 15 per cent lower
on paving In spite Of big increases n
railroad rates. Special precautions
were taken to insure completion of
work this season.

10000 BUSHELS
OF POT ATOES
Lancaster Farmer Has 200 Acres OF

10000 bushels is the estimated crop

two hundred acres planted and the
stand at this time is unusually good.
some old time potato experts declaring
that the above estimate is conservative,
taking everything into cOnsideratf ion.
Mr.. Berkey went after the work pre-
pairing the soil and planting the crop
according to the advise OF fellows who
have years of study of this particular
branch Of the farming game. Most OF

and the spring and then thoroughly

ed advantage when he begins to market
the crop.
Thru the courtesy of Mr.. Berkey the
writer had a chance this week to take
q trip around the farm, and it is really
an inspiring sight to see the vast field
now all in bloom. And we really had
to wonder at the uniformity Of the crop
Turnout the entire farm there is hard
ly an acre which don't look alike and
this is only on one corner where lack
of drainage made it too wet. The land
being level and the drainage almost
perfect there is now hardly any chance
for the crop to be- damaged by the
weat Their conditions, with the exception
of probably a severe hail storm.
Planting and taking care Of two hun
dred acres of potatoes is quitea little
job, still he, has had only two men at
work turnout the summer, although
during planting he had a number extra
men hired. The crop has been well cul-I
tivated an evidence of which is the fact
where in the fields. Spraying was also
started early. which prevented the po-..
tato bugs from getting a start. The
biggest job Of course will be the dig.
ging, but Mr.. Berkey plans to procure
some Of the latest machinery for that
purpose, which will do away with the
rather expensive hand picking, besides
saving lot Of time. This is more or
less of an experiment as yet, owing to
the different varieties of soil in differ
ent localities, but if successful here it
will do away with one of the most te-s
dious jobs connected with the raising
Of this crop.
The acreage Of potatoes in this section
has been steadily increasing every year.
A few years ago the potato crop was
considered only as a side line. How
ever the discovery that the soil in this
section is so well adapted to this crop
has brought larger and larger acre
age every year until now it has reached
a point where this part Of the country
can well be termed a potato. section.
We. are, going to make the prediction
right here that in a few years we can
show larger production than the
famed Clay and Norman counties, and
as far as quality is concerned we got
