Potato Campaign is
on County Basis
Sixty General Meetings Held Thus
sFar-Intensifed Work is
... Next

An intensified campaign to organ
ize the potato growing sections of
Minnesota for cooperative sales
purposes on a county by county ba-
sis started this week. In the two
months since the drive opened, 60
general meetings have been held and
a relatively large number of con-
tracts signed. These represent the
leading growers of communities
visited and have paved the way for
the farm to farm solicitation that is
to follow.
Grower organizers this week are
to begin work in Beltrami, Itasca,
Red Lake, Winona and Clearwater
counties. In each a series of school
house meetings will be held under
auspices of county and township or
ganization committees which already
have been perfected, as result of
the general meetings. For the pres
ent, no additional general meetings
will be held, except in sections
where the demand is exceptionally
insistent.
"We want no farmer to sign the
contract who does not thoroughly un-
derstand the plan, the method of
warehousing, and the way in which
potatoes will be polled and sold,"
says Earle A. Barker, of Bemidji,
member of the state organization
committee and who is especially ac-
tive in getting Beltrami county or
ganization work under way.
The immediate goal in each of the
counties where intensified solicitation
is to start is to sign up so per cent
of the commercial acreage. This, in
most instances, is about two-thirds of
the actual acreage, due to the fact

Reduced Rates for
Farm Hands Sought
Farm Bureau Chiefs Cooperating
to Relieve Help Shortage
This Fall

Minnesota Farm Bureau leaders
are cooperating with state officials
to obtain reduced railroad fare fo1
hired help going to the harvest
fields this fall. President J. F.
Reed met with Gov. J. A. o. Preus
and J. D. Williams, Industrial Com
missioner, to consider steps that
may be taken to relieve a labor short
age that gives promise of being I'M
usually serious when harvest starts.
President Reed suggested that an
effort should be made to obtain a
fare of So. so per man going from
Minneapolis, st. Paul or Duluth to
any point in Minnesota. Last year
the railroads granted rate of SIS
to points in Minnesota or North Da-
kota. The result was that men, as
a rule, travelled into North Dakota,
simply because the fare for the long
err trip was no greater. The question
of the exact fare has not been set
tied, but a reduction seems assured.
President Reed also suggested that
road and other public work now 60
ing on in the state be suspended as
much as possible during the heavy
harvesting season. AS in the case
of railroad rates, no decision has been
reached on this score.
"No single problem in Minnesota
this fall will be so important to farm
ers and to the state as whole as
the matter of getting the crops
promptly harvested, "Mr. Reed said"
Every man who is in position to help
the situation is doing all he can and
we hope to be able to get a large
number of men into the state from
the fields of Kansas and Nebraska.
We probably will not be able to en-
tirely meet the demand but we will
do our best"

Farm Loans for Dis
abled Ex-Service Men
Only First Farm Mortgages are Ac-
copied and Only From Actual
Occupiers of the Land

The 1928 Minnesota Legislature
passed a bill "for the purpose of
fostering and encouraging agricul-
ture, dairying and livestock raising
in Minnesota and the development
and improvement of farm lands"
The Rural Credit Bureau may is
sue bonds payable by the State of
Minnesota, not to exceed $4,000
900, for the purpose of making farm
loans.
Before a mortgage loan is made
competent appraisers must appraise
the value of the land offered as Sc
curity.
The loans are to be repaid on the
amortization plan by means of semi
annual payments to cover interest
and reduce the principal so as to ter
inmate the loan within the period
agreed upon which in no case is to
exceed forty years.
After the mortgage has been in
force five years, more than one in
stallment of the debt may be paid
upon any semi-annual payment date.
Provisions are made for the selling
of such mortgaged lands and for
liens for drainage payable in insall-
ments.
Loans may be made for the follow
ing purposes and no others:
L. To purchase equipment and
livestock.
2. To provide for buildings and
livestock.
8. To liquidate existing indebted
ness or subsequently incurred for
purposes mentioned in this section.
4. For part payment of the pur-
chase price of improved farm land,
in this case the vender takes a Sec
ond mortgage for the balance of the
purchase price.
No such loan shall exceed sixty
per cent of the value of the land plus
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1923-06-14

thirty-three and one-third per cent of
the appraised value of the improve
ments thereon. The value of the i'm
provements shall not exceed fifty
per cent of the value or the 1and, and
in no case shall the value of the i'm
provements exceed $4,000.
No loan shall be made to any per-
son who is not at the time of loaning
in good faith occupying and engaged
in the cultivation and development of
the farm land mortgaged. In case
of death of mortgagor or the sale
of his land, the Rural Credit Bureau
may permit the mortgage to be as
sumed by the heirs or purchaser. In
case the mortgager vacates or ceases
to occupy the land in good faith, un-
less with the written permission of
the Rural Credit Bureau, and the
security is thereby impaired, the
bureau may declare the whole loan
due and payable.
No loan shall be less than $500 or
more than $4,000.
Other provisions of the law cover
(1) carrying insurance. (2) default
in payments, 60 taxes, (4) liens,
(5) judgments, co. assessments, CD
abstracts of titles, (S) recording pa
pers, (9) foreclosures, and similar
matters, to safeguard the security.
An amendment to the Act provides
a larger loan to disabled soldiers
than to others when the approved
applicant can show to the satisfac-
ton of the Rural Credia Bureau
"that he is an honorably discharged
veteran of the war with Germany,
that he was a citizen of the State of
Minnesota at the time of his enlist
ment or induction or at the time of
the taking effect of this Act, that he

Average Farm Hand
Wage is 1888 Day
Farm Bureau Leaders Expect Low
Rate for Help During Harvest
Season

Farmers of Minnesota are paying
an average of 1888 a day for ordin-
airy help, according to the June La
Dor survey just completed by j. S..
Jones, secretary of the Minnesota
Farm Bureau Federation.
Reports received by Mr.. Jones
from nearly all counties of the
state show that farmers are offering
1924 a day for help in the hay
fields, $46.42 for hands working by
the month and $48.10 for help dur
ing the harvest season, on a monthly
basis.
The Northwest section of the state
is offering the lowest wages for day
labor and the highest for men work
ing by the month. Average condi-
tons prevail in the Southwest and
Southeast sections.
Demand for farm help continues
heavy, according to Mr.. Jones. In a
letter he mailed to County Agents
last week, he said that the outlook
for help this fall is somewhat
brighter than it has been for some
time, as reports from states to the
south indicate that men are going to
the harvest fields IN unusually large
numbers. However, the situation
continues serious.
Efforts of J. F. Reed, president of
the Federation and others, to obtain
a low railroad rate for men coming
to Minnesota during the harvest sea-
son are expected to materialize
within a short time. A meeting Of
railroad officials was scheduled for
June IL.

Orchardists throughout the north
ern section of Frederick county de-
clare that the apple crop, which has
been damaged in some localities by
the vagaries of the weather, is un-
harmed and a large yield is expected.
Reports from some parts of the coun-
ty have been to the effect that late
cold weather has damaged the crop
and that the young fruit is falling
from the trees in a manner that will
preclude an average yield. This, how
ever, is not the case in the apple belt
in the vicinity of Thurmont, the con-
sensus of opinions Of growers being
that the yield will be large.
The general condition of all varie-
ties of fruit in the northern section Of
the county is good. Peaches have
come through the spring season with
out material damage, and growers are
predicting an average yield Of good
quality. Plums were almost complete
ly destroyed by early frosts, while
pears have escaped damage and the
young fruit is in good condition.
A very good berry crop is expected.
During the early season raspberry
stalks were injured by disease which
it was feared at first would prove IA
tai to the entire crop. The disease
is known as anthracnose and is new
in Frederick county. It is sort Of
scale, which attacked and killed the
stalks. A spray solution, however,
was used that not only stopped the
ravages of the disease but which had
the effect of improving the prospects
for a good crop.
Grapes, a total failure last year,
give promise of good yield this sea-
son. In some localities, however, re-
ports indicate that the crop has been
damaged by late frosts. Cherries, al
mos a failure last year, will come
near an average yield, it is expected.

One million birds, rabbits and other
species of game, valued at more than
100000, if all could have been placed
upon the market, were killed during
the hunting season of 1922, according
to State Game Warden E. Lee Le-
Compile.
The estimate was obtained by Mr.
LeCompte by means Of questionable
sent out to all persons who obtained
hunting licenses last fall. There were
70,295 licenses issued, but only some
IL, 7O5 hutsmen responded to the ques-
tionnaire asking what had been killed
by each individual during the season.
Taking the report Of the 20 per
cent. of the licensed hunters who re-
ported their kill as basis, the game
warden has built up the estimate OF
game killed during the season.
The answers to the QUESTIONABLE
show the report that cotton tail rab-
hits were scarce in Maryland last fall
to be erroneous. According to Mr.. Le-
Complies estimate, 128,793 rabbits
were killed.
The following table shows how
many of each kind of game were killed
during the season.

TELEPHONE SERVICE FOR
SHRINERS SIMPLIFIED
c. & P. Company Supply Special
Switchboards And Information
For Shrine Convention

When the Shriners of Pocomoke
City who are going to Washington to
attend the great conventions of the
Mystic Shrine on June S, 6, and Z
wish to obtain information as to the
location of temples, where delegates
are stopping, ind other data as to the
time of parades and the various ac-
Invites of the convention, they will be
able to obtain this information from
any telephone by simply asking the
operator for "Shrine."
"Shrine" is a special temporary
central office equipped with special
information switchboards which have
been provided by the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Company for the
occasion. This central office, accord
ing to Burdett Stryker, vice-president
and general manager of the Company,
will have lines connecting to all the
chairmen of the Almas Temple 1928
Shrine Committee, visiting temple
headquarters, the Shrine Registration
Bureau, the Housing Bureau, the
parking locations where many of the
temples will be housed, and other
points in connection with the Shrine
convention. The addresses of visiting
Shriners can be obtained from the
Registration Bureau which can be
called through the Shrine exchange.
This special Shrine central office
will substantially aid the telephone
company in taking care of the extra
ordinary demand for telephone ser
wee during the convention. It has been
>ariously estimated that between
$4,000 and 100000 people will visit
Washington during Shrine week. Nor
mally the telephone company handles
about 100000 calls day. 1t is es-
tinated that the convention will make
it necessary to handle more than 600,-
COG calls a day.
In view of this heavy increase in
the use of the service, the telephone
company is urging that telephone con-
versations be made as brief as posi-
BILE in order to prevent undue conges-
ton of the service.
