SPECUL TORS
BIDDING FOR WOOL
French, Farm Bureau Federation Sec
rotary, Warns Of Low
Prices

e. Farmers Of Minnesota who still
have wool on hand are warned by r..
u. French, secretary Of the Minnesota
Farm Bureau Federation, not to sell
without full knowledge Of market
values. Eastern spectators, Mr..
French says, are obtaining shipment
from Mid-Western states at bargain
prices, despite the fact that on the
central markets they are bidding
against each other for supplies.
..We. have advices from the National
Wool pool" Mr.. French says, show
ing that wool lofts owned by specula-
tors are virtually empty Middlemell
IN the wool market machine are Sc
curing fleece wool shipments at bar
gain prices, thus enabling them to UNI
dersell, in some instances, woods held
in pools.' l.5e If: s5 5a.
Bright fleece wool, quarter blood,
recently sold on A cent F. o. b.
mill basis. Wool consigned by Min
nesota growers to the National Wool
and Warehouse company's - Farm
Bureau--pool at Chicago is bringing
excellent prices. Nearly 1900 pounds
of three eighths blood, staple bright
sold for 46 cents. Three thousand
pounds of quarter blood sold for 43
CENTS. Low quarter blood sold for 81
cents. All prices are F. o. B. mills.
The Farm Bureau" Mr.. French
says, "has worked long and hard for
a fair tariff on wool and the schedule
now prevailing has strengthened the
market. Farmers should profit by
keeping posted on market values and
not selling for less than the wool ac-
tually is worth. Recent wool pools
have not only Melted growers better,
prices, but they have served to sta
bilize prices. Every sale now made
under the true market value tends to

Amendment NO. |
REMEDY FOR TAX
FREE BOND PERIL
State System Needed to Assure Farm
ers of Adequate Loans, Says
Christensen

A state farm loan system such a
adoption of Amendment No. / wi
authorize is needed if Minnesota farm
ers are not to be, seriously handicaI
ped because Of the growing peril o
tax-exempt securities, according t
Theodore ChristiansOn of Dawson
Mimi, father CT the law under whic]
the amendment is submitted Nov. I
"The practice of issuing tax-exemp
securities and their popularity anon,
large investors" says Mr.. Christian
son, sis going to make it impossible
eventually, for farmers to get loan!
upon real estate, unless they can ge
them through the issuance of govern
mental securities. Life insurance
companies, whose SURPRISES in the pass
have been largely invested in farm
mortgages, now are beginning to in
vest in these tax free bonds, instead
of in farm mortgages.
ut, therefore,, is increasingly i'm
portant that we set up a state system
OF rural credits, administered by the
state to finance farmers even in the
inadequate way in which they have
been financed heretofore. The increas-
ed interest rates on farm mortgages
reflect this preference for tax-exempt
securities -
1T is true that the tax-exempt fea-
ture should be eliminated, but until
that is done-and there is no telling
when that step will be taken-the
farmer is going to be seriously handi-
capped, unless. the state is permitted
to set up machinery for which Amend
ment No. paves the way. With this
machine in operation, farmers need
ing loans will be in position to cope
with the tax-exempt security peril
The Farmers Special Committee, of
which j. F. Reed, president of the
minnesota Farm Bureau Federation is
chairman, is urging voters to remem
Der these points in voting on Amend
ment No. Rural Credits-on cleo
ton day, Nov. Z:
l. That it is first on the pink bal
lot, and that the Amendment ballot is
separate from the one on which fp-
pears the names of state and county
candidates.
2. That majority of voters vot-
ing must "Vote Yes" if it is, to be
adopted.
3. That it has the Endorsement of
all parties and therefore, is purely a
nonpolitical ISSUE
f. That blank ballots count against
the proposal as effectively as do those
marked NO"
S. That creation of a state rural
credits system will not cost taxpayers
a dollar.
6. That adoption of the amendment,
in itself, does not create any partic-
,llar system; it merely paves the way
for legislative action by removing
present constitutional restrictions on
any legislation Of this nature.
Z. That it will give Minnesota an
opportunity to study system now in
operation and avoid Objectionable fea-
lures that may be found in existing

" FOR POTATO PRICES

Conditions now existing indicate
that the price of potatoes, f. O. b..
Minneapolis and st. Paul, will aver
age about $1.46~ per hun6redweight
for the present season. This forecast
is made by the Division of Agricul-
tural Economics of the University Of
Minnesota. Continuing, the forecast
says r. ...'--
s"The average price for October is
normally $3.50 per cent of that for the
season (September to Nay, which
indicates $1.29 per hundredweight as
a fair average price for the month:
Of October for potatoes of average
quality. The actual price on October
10 was about Is cents per hundred
weight ! -, s 51- .1 .s92 .
:''This forecast is based on funda-
mental demand-and-supply conditions
as they appear at present. Present
Information may turn out to be mis-
leading. Changes in apparent condi-
tions sometimes result in an actual
price 30 per cent below the forecast
or 30 per cent above.
The discrepancy between our FORE
cast and the actual price appears to
be due to three factors: a. every
body who has. stored potatoes for
the last two years, whether dealer or
farmer, has lost heavily-this year
every one is trying to play safe; 5(2):
the government acreage estimate is
1913 per cent over that Of last year
we believe this serious overestimate
and that the increase has been only
about the normal amount for the en-
tire United States: (3) there has been
so much talk Of the immense crop of
potatoes this year than many farmers
and dealers are unduly alarmed.
The foregoing forecast of average
price for the season is based upon q
knowledge of the effect Of the import
ant factors influencing the price Of
potatoes in Minneapolis and st. Paul,
obtained from study OF records COW
ering twenty years. The average price
for the-seaso is determined BY 8
small number Of important demand.

price IS lower during part Of the sea.

The passage of Amendment No. /,
