RECLAMATION
MEETING
Big Falls and Dewey Farmers
Endorse the Plan IMAM

TIME AND EFFORT
REQUIRED FOR RESULTS
Committee OF Bankers and Loan
Agents Appointed To Handle
Project

The farmers Of Big Falls and north
Dewey came to Ladysmith in Il body
Wednesday and had a meeting at the
Chamber of Commerce rooms to dis
cJlSs the County Reclamation Act. The
officers of the Chamber of Commerce,
the county agent, and each bank were
invited by the farm editor and the
farmers to attend.
Talks were made by Leo SchOepf,
Fred Kasl. r. Ditmanson and NJ. O..
EmmOns.
The farmers were invited To give
their ideas. and some of them spoke
in favor of the law and all decided
that they could use money as provided
by the act. as soon as if was avail
able.
The fact was brought out by the
speakers that there were certain big
obstacles to the getting of money
through This act and while all was
being done that could possibly be done
to get the proposition over. the farm
erS were told plainly that it would
take time AMI work to accomplish the
desired results.
Cows for new settlers was discussed
and il was brought ont that il was a
hig mistake for farmers TO get cows
before they got feed and good barns
niilt to take care Of the stock in such
n way that they would show a profit,
instead of a loss Cows follow clover,
hut the feed and shelter must come
first
At the close of the meeting Mr.. Dit
manson put the proposition up to the
farmers to vote on by Il rising vote
Of all who favored the loan and would
apply for loans as soon as the propo-
stion was put across and the money
MAS made available. The vote was
unanimous. which shows conclusively
that il is very necessary to lose no time
in getting the law working.
This is now a state law. but the
county board has not yet acted on 1T.
The constitutionality test must be put
over. and the man who holds the mort
CAGES must he consulted as they must
sign with the settlers.
MI this looks easy. but it is nor.
There is still much to do.
