Charles F. COLLISION, Agricultural
Editor of the Minneapolis Tribune
who recently addressed the Redwood
County Pure Bred Breeders Associa-
ton at their Booster Meeting on
Golden Butter and Golden Dollars. .
He exhibited these two maps, OF
Minnesota and North Dakota, show
ing how rapidly and easily the coun-
ties which have developed dairying
and diversified agriculture are paying
off their War Finance Corporation
debts. Dairying counties in Southern
and Central Minnesota are shown to
be prosperous.
All over North Dakota, wherever
the dairy cow has been introduced, as
in Morton, Stark, Mcintosh, Ward
and other counties, the loans are be-
ing paid off rapidly, and easily.
''Is the Northwestern farmer really
broker"
Decidedly not! Wherever dairy
ing is practiced, he is in good financial
condition, and is paying his debts
promptly.
"In Minnesota and Wisconsin par
ticularly, his income from his dairy
products alone, so far exceeds that
from his wheat, that the latter is no
longer any index to his prosperity.
The prices for dairy products have
declined very little, in comparison
with those of other farm products.
'This is the answer we were all
very proud to give, to anxious in
quirers in the east, who had heard
the wheat growers delegations in
Washington, pleading for fixed prices
on wheat" declared Charles F. Coils
son, Agricultural Editor of the Min
neapolis Tribune, recently returned
from the Worlds Dairy Congress. and
the National Dairy Exposition in
Washington, Philadelphia and Syrac-
use, N. Y.
His talk, enlivened with much wit,
and amusing anecdotes, drove home
sharply the lesson of the advantages
of diversified farming in creating buy
ing and debt-paying power.
Mr.. COLLISION, is conducting the
vigorous editorial campaign in The
Tribune. inaugurated two years ago by
the publisher, F. E. Murphy, to arouse
bankers and business men, and inspire
them to promote dairying and diver
sified agriculture in their communi-
ties. Mr.. Collisions full-page, illu-
strated, feature articles, in every
Sunday issue, are being widely copied
and commended all over the country

Deposits In All
N. w. States Rise
MINNESOTA, SOUTH DAKOTA
ABOVE U. S. AVERAGE; BANK
REVIEW SHOWS.

Individual savings deposits in all
northwest states have gained substan-
TALLY in the last year, and in Mime
sofa and South Dakota have passed
the average of all states of the coun-
try. the Northwestern National Bank
Review said in it's monthly issue, out
last week.
The Review points out that the
major part of these deposits are made
by farmers, and calls this fact evi-
dence s'that the condition of the north
west subsequent to the first great de-
fation in prices has been one of net
improvement" 1t obtained the data
from a report by the savings bank
division of the American Bankers as
ISOLATION, showing the savings on de-
post in all banks of the country June
80, 1928.
The per capita savings deposit in
Minnesota, South Dakota and North
Dakota more than doubled in the last
II years.
Minnesota, S. D.. Above u. S.
Average
among the states whose welfare
most directly interests US, we find
that the per capita savings deposits
of Minnesota and South Dakota are
now above the United States aver
age" the review said. "In 1912 the
per capita savings deposits in both
Minnesota and the United States as
whole stood at $50. In 1922, the
average for the United States had
increased to $166 while that for Min
nesota had become $187. The record
for South Dakota as compared with
that Of the United States is even bet
ter. In II years time the per capita
savings of the state advanced from
ST. to $2O6, or $40 greater than for
the country at large. In North Da-
kota, the advance has been from $62
to $3.50. in Wisconsin from $40 to
S134, and in Montana from $62 to $9S.
The percentage of increase for the
country at large, S6.5 per cent, was
exceeded by North Dakota Q56.4 per
cent?. South Dakota 600 per cent?,
and Minnesota Clio per cent?.
"The record for the last year, OF
particular interest for US, is given

a bushel. This is the highest return
made to producers, for any farm pro-
duct, due to the fact that they own
$40 cooperative creameries.
"This was distributed among 1884,
478 farms. The majority of Mime
sofas farmers are giving the Magnus
Johnson hand-shake to their bossy
cows, two or three times day.
"They reap harvest in the milk
pail every night and morning, instead
of only once a year. They have a
cream check every month, and re-
gular pay day. They can and do pay
their bills promptly, like good bust
ness men, every thirty days."
AS evidence of this fact, the speak
err displayed the two maps, reproduc.
ed on this same page, showing the
loans made to banks in Minnesota and
North Dakota by the War Finance
Corporation. This agricultural loan
agency Of the government lent nearly
$50 100000 in the Northwest or about
$12,500,000 in Minnesota, and about
$22, 100000 in North Dakota. Of
2,700 loans made, there were about
1900 outstanding April 1.
The maps show where this liquida-
tion has taken place. Figures in the
circle, in each county, indicate the
loans still outstanding. The figures
in the square, indicate those paid up
one-third or more.
"Here we find the bright spots on

err pointing out the dairy counties,
where liquidation has been rapid and
easy.
an Minnesota, all through the CEN
trail and southern counties, where
dairying predominates, the liquidation

true in North Dakota. Counties that

Diversified Farming Impresses
"Out of the flood of talk about the
farmers problems in the one-crop
grain regions of the northwest, the
main conclusion of those with no axes
to grind is that the simple expedient
of fostering the practise of mixed
farming is the only practical solution
If some of our districts have reached
the point where they cannot extricate
themselves from the consequences of
the all-wheat habit, then the next
move in all neighborliness is to give
them a lift. More and more clearly
is the northwest impressed with the
fact that dairying, the raising OF
alfalfa, sugar beets, poultry, hogs,
and so on, as important component
parts of diversified farming, have a
direct bearing on our business and
our banking"

increased their savings in the last
year; states in which industrial ac-
tivities exert a positive influence show
decrease or only small advance.
City, Country Savings Segregated
at so happens that it is possible
for us to segregate with considerable
exactitude the course of city and
country savings. In the report from
which we are taking our figures, de-
posits include those of the usual saw
ings banks or of savings departments
of commercial banks, which we will
term ordinary savings deposits; GER
tificates of deposit running 80 days or
more. and postal savings deposits:
The latter bear comparatively small
influence on the total.
"Time certificates of deposit IN the
northwest represent to large degree
the reserve funds of farmers, where
as ordinary savings deposits represent
almost exclusively the savings OF the
people of the large towns and cities.
The records give this table:

There has been a gradual decrease
in wheat yields in the spring wheat
region in the northwest due largely
to the increasing quantity Of weeds
in the grain fields, the department
says. Some lands have become so
foul that they are no longer profit
able for wheat production. On the
other hand, winter wheat which con-
tains very little dockage has general
ly increased in yield per acre.
Short Courses to Help
The public and private forces now
organized to attack the problem of
cleaning wheat in the northwest are
launching an offensive in the true
campaign style. It is war TO the
death of the weed. The department of
agriculture has also prepared moving
pictures and lantern slides that vivid
ly convey the Importance Of cleaning
wheat on the farm. Illustrated lee
lures will be given wherever halls are
available throughout the region. The
short courses given by agriculture
colleges will include considerable in
struction on the subject.

Higher Grades for Grain

1t has been the continuous feeling
OF each secretary of agriculture, how
ever, since the federal standards were
first put into effect, that it would be
discriminatory and false economy to
label an inferior product as of good
quality, and producers have been re-
peatedly urged to improve the quality
and condition of their grain to bring
it into the higher grades. This a be
done largely if producers will make
an earnest effort to remove the for
eign material from wheat before ship
ping to market, the department says.
Field demonstrations in grain clean
ing by department representatives
have proved the efficiency of grain
cleaning methods and it is expected
that in many instances groups of
farmers will employ cleaning ma
chimes on the farm to improve the
quality of their seed and marketable
grain. Saving of more than Z cents
per bushel have been effected in prac-
teal cleaning tests. Allowing 2 cents
a bushel for the cost of cleaning, the
net gain to farmers was over 5 cents
a bushel.

it is likely that the Shenandoah will

Too Many Foreign Seeds

At a theshing rate of 7 cents per
bushels it is estimated that the farm
ers of the four states paid yer $685.
900 for the threshing of their dOckage
in 1922, and that they paid around
$3.50 900 for hauling the dockage TO
market. An investigation by the de-
partment of agriculture in 1921 show
ed that in Minnesota and the Dako-
tas 96 per cent of the farmers visited
were drilling with their wheat from
1000 to 100000 foreign seeds per
acre.
"In 1923 we found that farmers in
these states who cleaned their wheat
before marketing gained on an aver
age more than 5 cents per bushel,"
Secretary Wallace declared. "The
way for farmers of a community TO
get the benefit which results from
recleaning, grading and mixing in the
local elevator is to organize co-opera-
tive elevators and to distribute prof
its on the patronage dividend basis"
The appointment of each new sec
rotary of agriculture has been the
signal to send delegates to Washing
ton to ask for changes in the federal
grain grades. Certain groups in the
spring wheat territory have long been
agitating a loosening up Of the fed
eral grades to give inferior wheat a
grade eqsal to that of good wheat. Or
the other hand, producers Of superior
and clean wheat have felt that the
grades should be narrowed to exclude
altogether from the high grades whea'
with even a small percentage of for
iegn materials.

a section-wide campaign in the
spring wheat belt of the Northwest
to induce farmers to clean their wheat
on the farm, and particularly at time
of threshing, is being launched by the
United States department of agricul-
ture in cooperation with local agri-
cultural bodies including agricultural
colleges, state marketing officials,
farmers and commercial interests
composed of dealers and millers. The
broadsides of grain cleaning demon
STATIONS, county mass meetings, bull
.letins, moving pictures, lantern slides
and radio talks are to be fired to bring
home to farmers the message of clean
wheat.
Success of the campaign will re-
suit not only in securing higher prices
to farmers for their cleaned grain,
but also in higher yields per acre
through eliminating weeds in the
grain fields and weed seeds in seed
grain, the department points out.
