DRIVE LAUNCHED TO
STOP FORECLOSURES
Farmers Face Wholesale Loss Of Land
If Creditors Insist on Payment,
Federation Warns.

st. Paul, February 2.-"Don't fore
close"
That was the warning issued today
by the Minnesota Farm Bureau fed
Grafton in a statement which declared
that public welfare as we'll as the in
terests Of the individual creditor
make farm mortgage foreclosures "at
least unwise and at most disastrous"
In hundreds of cases, farmers will
be unable to meet interest payments
due on their farm mortgages in
March, the federation said, in spite
of the fact that loans themselves are
absolutely sound. In large number
of farm mortgages, there is clause
which makes the whole sum of the
mortgage fall due when the farmer
misses an interest payment.
1.-THE individual creditor may feel
that it is right and even necessary
for him to foreclose on the mortgage
he holds" the federation said. but
the interest of the whole public, and
his own business interest as well, de-
mands that he stop to consider the eff
feet on the economic situation if
every creditor took advantage OF pres
emit conditions to close out every far
mer who fails to meet his interest
payment or payments on contract for
deed.
"a policy OF wholesale foreclosure
would mean tremendous setback to
Minnesota agriculture. It would take
away from scores Of young progress
i've farmers the land on which they
are beginning to make homes and de-
velop up-to-date farms. It would
destroy what confidence remains, and
would delay still longer our recovery
from present conditions"
In some counties, it has been sug-
gested that a special session Of the
legislature should be called to strike
out the mortgage provision making
the whole loan fall due when an in
terest payment is missed and also to
lengthen the redemption period to
two years.
Eighty per cent Of the farms in
our county are mortgaged," says one
letter received by the state farm bu-
reau. Public opinion must be arous-
ed to the situation. 1t is the only
way to prevent intense mental suffer-
ing on the part of thousands of re-
sponsible farmers who face foreclos-
ure, and who will have to labor for
year not knowing whether they
will lose their homes"
A resolution passed by the third
annual convention of the Minnesota
Farm Bureau federation deplores the
disposition on the part of great
many who are in the farm loan bust
ness, to take advantage of the fnan-
cial stringency by unduly raising
their interest rates, and by asking ex-
cessively high commissions" In a
spirit of cooperation, it says, where
there is no question about the ade-

cellaneous associations with 1,127
members. These associations did a
volume of business in 1921 amount
ing to $2,045,529. In additions they
assisted associations organized or in
existence previously, which in 1921
transacted business amounting to
1928, 257,358, with an etimated saw
ing amounting to $1,934,809. A total
of 1,464 farmers outside of the as
ISOLATION were aided in cooperative
buying, by which $52O,212 worth of
business was done and 1887
saved.
Data on business transactions and
savings effected are difficult to, Sc

was done in this field, which was i'm
possible to reduce to dollars and cents

Should Buy A Car Of Fertilizer.

onOul0 buy a Car OF terC1l1xer.
Last year the Farm Bureau bought
car of acid phosphate fertilizer CO.
operatively, and every one who used
some of it is more than pleased with
the results.
On account Of the financial strin-
gency this year, it may not be posi-
bic to secure orders enough to make
up a car, but nevertheless this same
fertilizer would be one-of the most
profitable investments that many far
mers could make.
Acid phosphate fertilizer has been
given the most severe tests in this
county. In the first place it was tried
out at the experiment station and
gave an increased yield on the expert
ment plots. Then a carload was pur-
chased and it was given a practical
test by a score of farmers, and the in
creased yields proven. Then the war
came on and no more was purchased
until last year, when carload was
bought and it again proved its great
value. One farmer used it in every
drill row, and thus had a most strik-
ing proof of it's value, because the
drill rows where the fertilizer was
used were so much better than the
others.
The fertilizer costs from $3.50 to
$500 by the time it has been put on,
and it can be depended upon to in
crease the yield of wheat, barley or
clover more than enough to nav for
it the first year, and the increased
yield for other years is clear pro-
at.

Shelby could not have described
what there was about the girl to in
terest him even slightly. As Mike
said, there was not much to look at,
and what there was had been rendered
particularly hideOus by the ill-fittIng
black dress in which she was dressed.
She walked well, and she held her
head straight up, bit defiantly, look
ing neither to right nor left as Nc
Carthy led her forward by grasp
on one arm. The corners of her
mouth dropped trifie and her hair
was drawn straight back and bound
in wisp. Altogether she made a
rather pathetic picture, and this some
how impressed Shelby. He watched
her stop at the head of the opened
casket and look down at the face of
the dead man. There was no sign of,
a tear, no semblance of a sob. and

was honest enough in these intentions,
yet the mood passed away so COM

lection of any higher purpose. In this
happy condition he finally wended his

then she moved on with no change
perceptible in her face, outwardly un-
moved. To all appearances her only
desire was to have the affair ended
and be left alone.
Shelby passed and stared down at
the face in the casket, that of a man
of sixty, possibly, yet exhibiting even
in death the marks of a hard life
which had unduly aged him. 1t was
rather an intelligent face, framed in
a white beard, with the fragment Of>S
scar showing on one cheek. There
was something about the face strange
ly familiar, yet he could not recall
the man to memOry-some way the

to army days, yet the two would not
connect themselves definitely. As he
thrust his contribution into the box,

There was a moments delay, while

struggling with his elusive memory,
bent over and asked hoarsely:

cluded and the body lowered into the
grave before vending their way back
