Ketchikan delegation here, before their departure Sunday, said that the good results of the first Meet were so obvious that the question of whether or not another should be held was not debatable.
 Majority Favors Juneau.

ton from Fargo papers that came

FEDERAL FARM
L0ANING WILL
BE CONTINUED
Going Right Ahead Making
Loans in North Dakota,
Says E. G. Quamme
CONFIDENCE IN STATE
Sees Worst Conditions Passed in
Agricultural Section and
Better Times Ahead

The federal land bank looks upon
North Dakota, and upon agricultural
conditions generally in the seventh
farm loan district, with assurance and
confidence, E. G. Quamme, president
Of the Federal Land Bank of St. Paul,
said here today. Mr.. Quamme and
other officers of the bank are con-
Quoting a school for the secretaries
treasurers of the various federal farm
loan associations of the state. The
sessions opened in the state capitol
yesterday and continued today.
The situation looks rather hopeful,
Mr. Quamme said. While agricultural
states have passed through hard sit
uation, and there is trying time be-
tween now and next harvest, he said
he felt the corner had been turned
in North Dakota and that the worst
had passed generally speaking.
Prospects for crop in North Da-
kota are good, with rauls last fall and
heavy SHOWS this winter, he said.
There is plenty of seed and feed in
prices show an upward trend on agri-
cultural products.
The assurance-and confidence voiced
by the land bank in North Dakota is
reflected in the fact that it will go
ahead making loans in the state. The
bank has about $1O,00O,O00 to loan out
between now and next June in its dis
trict, comprising Michigan, Wisconsin,
Minnesota and North Dakota.
One Of the purposes of the meeting
which opened yesterday and continues
today IS to determine the needs OF
the various communities Of the state
for the purpose of making an allot-
ment of funds. More than half of
the 1877 local associations in the state
were represented, II. X. Jennings,
secretary, said.
The federal land bank has loaned
$22,S79,300 in NORTH Dakota. on long
time farm mortgages, according to a
published statement.
Among the bank officials here were
President Quamme, Secretary Jen-
nings and Treasurer P. A. Preus, all
Of St. Paul.
