Raises $4,000 Bushels
Potatoes on 80 Acres

Gering, Neb., Oct. ia. N. Math-

from this district. reports an unusual
ly heavy yield of potatoes on some OF
his land.
On an s0.acre dry land tract four
miles south of Gering IA men are
picking up potatoes beAind two dig
ging machines and at a conservative
estimate it Is figured that the crop
from this tract will total $4,000 bush
els, half of which viii grade as seed
stock and half table stock.
Several acres have averaged as high
as $50 bushels per acre and Mr..
Mathers says the entire tract will
average between 165 and 10 bushels
per acre, which is considerably better
than some irrigated lands have shown
this year.
Mr.. Mathers has both the Red TIL

Profit in Cattle
at Battle Greek
Farmers Who Feed on Mod.
crate Scale Find Indus
try Paws Well.

Battle Creek. Neb.. Oct. 1s.-In the
last SIX months more than 400 car
loads Of livestock have been shipped
out OF Battle creek. The number,
though quite large for the limited
territory which II tributary to Battle
Creek, Is not tho most interesting
feature of this record. but the large
number OF shippers II represents.
Few Of those whose stock was in
cluded in the shipment would be con-
sidered large feeders. Many OF them
feed but one load of cattle and one
OF hogs, and some two of each. while
a few feed three or more. This con-
sequent low average per shipper in
dicates that feeding n not the =prt
mary interest OF these farmers. but
rather one Of the branches OF diyersi-
fled farming.
The feeding OF cattle and hogs IL
considered by many the most profit
able way of marketing the products
OF the soil and those who reason this
way plan to feed only enough stock
to consume the yield of the farm.
This moderation in an industry that
has been the stumbling block TO
many may account for the unusual
stability of the farmers of this com
munity.

represented are Nebraska, Iowa, Kan

Grain rates We're discussed at a SIM

evidence was insufficient for definite
action to be taken. The interstate

made.
The investigation will concern pri-
marily the cost of transporting grain
intended for export, according to
State Railway Commissioner Browne.
who will represent Nebraska at the
meeting The greater >part of the
grain raised in this section of the
country is shipped interstate, he said,
and the rates considered from that
broad angle will also include intra-

Million Is
Poured Out
to Farmers
New Federal intermediate
Credit Bank Invites Coun-
ty Banks to Send in More
Applications.
Has s. Million to Lend

A million dollars will have been
lent to farmers by the end of this
month through the new Federal In
termediate Credit bank OF Omaha.
Total loans for September and thus
far in October now stand at $780,
050.71, according to T. w. Clarke,
who heads the new institution In the
Woodmen OF the World building. An
immense reservoir of credit, amount,
ing to $55, 900, 900, is ready to be re-
leased by this institution.
Most Of these rediscounts have been
on cattle loans, and practically none
on grain. Farmers wishing to OBJ
tain credit for nine months under this
plan, go to their local banker or to
loan corporation and file their ap-
plication. The money is obtained
from the intermediate Credit bank
at 5Iz per cent interest. Banks are
limited to III per cent for handling
which sets the maximum rate at
per cent. The provisions relating to
cooperative associations have not as
yet been found workable.
AS he sat at his desk he signed an
application from one country bank
for s43, 900.
II have been lending money to
farmers for A years, and my father
lent It for so years" said Mr.. Clarke,
but this system is the best one that
has even been devised AS banker,
/ was always uneasy over lending
other peoples TpOney-the bank de
posits-but under the new federal
plan no deposits are tied up In these
loans.
Country bankers should cooper
ate with the Federal intermediate
Credit bank. They can rediscount
paper with 1t without being required
to maintain a balance. thus leaving
themselves free to keep IN reserve
for emergencies a line Of credit with
their regular correspondent bank
They may rediscount at any and al
times without regard to business con
ditions, since the supply Of funds
does not depend on nuctuatins bank
deposits.
THE banker will Be using tax-free
money at 5h per cent, and the rate
to the borrower, per cent, makes
the outgo Of interest from the com
munity less than customary. He IA
allowed IL per cent profit on the
transaction, and this without the risk
Of having his loans called In = per
1od Of depression. when forced liquid
alton would seriously Affect the value
Of his security and damage his Gus
toner.
"Maturities are from six to nine
months, with privileges Of renewal
az long az tho mony can be profit
ably used. The funds are thus pro
vided for intermediate terms, between
those OF short.time commercial paper
and long time investments. Inter
mediate credit supplies the missing
link in our banking system that has
always been danger and detri
ment when deposits fell off, banks
had to reduce their loans. forced sales
depressed the value OF securities, anf
prices fell with diminishing credit.
THE use Of this money in com
munity will increase bank deposits
stimulate prices, make slow debt'
more liquid, improve business In
general, and put new confidence and
ambition into the people"
