On all money loaned by the Smith

amounts of 500 and $500. Most of
the loans were made without security.

project which planned the building Of
great stockyards in South Omaha.
Afterwards they increased the invest

Osceloa Farmers
Take Up Relief Plan
Special Dispatch to The omah. Bee.


-Osceola, Neb., July 22.-Meeting Of
farmers was held in the courthouse
last night to consider plans to assist
growers, who are forced to sell their
wheat as soon as 1t Is harvested and
to try to devise means whereby those
farmers may be enabled to carry
their wheat until the prices get bet
ter.
Mark Timm, president OF the Polk
County Farm bureau, presided at the
meeting. which was attended by
many farmer leaders from over the
county.
Following are the resolutions adopt.
ed by the meeting:
"Resolved-That we endorse the
effort being made to stimulate wheat
consumption. by narrowing the mar
gin of profit to the miller. the retailer
and tho baker; that we favor some
carefully devised plan by farm organi-
zaions to reduce the acreage OF wheat
sown by percentage equivalent to
the surplus in this country and that
feed up liberal amount OF the lower
grades OF wheat on the farms.
I'VE believe the government should
fix a minimum price of s1.25 at Chi
cago per bushel on the 1922 wheat
crop as an emergency and that some
plan be adopted whereby federal
funds already appropriated for farm
aid shall be distributed evenly over
the wheat producing area and not
apply it to certain localities alone.
I'VE recognN that unless some
thing Is done to prevent it many
farmers in Strengthened cirhum-
stances will lose heavily on their
wheat by reason of tho temporary
slump in price and we strongly urge
that all farmers hold their wheat IN.
