There Are Complaints OF
Methods Being Used

Request by Commissioner OF Ag-
riculture j. A. Kitchen that the
federal government cease seed loan
collection activities in North Dakota
at this time has been met by We
spouse from the department to the
effect that activities have been re
duced to minimum
Mr.. Kitchen, acting on complaints
by numerous farmers who SAID they
were being threatened and lntim-
dated by government agencles iof
failure to repay seed loans maze
two years ago, wrote to II. Z. Iaylor
chief of the, bureau OF agricultural
economics, United States Department
of Agriculture, as follows:
ave have had SO many complaints
| regarding the insistenoe and per
sjstence of the U. S. Department OF
| Agriculture in attempting to enforce
collections on Federal Feed and Scet
Loans made to needy farmers that
after considering the very SERIOUS
plight of these farmers at this time
We respectfully request that yr
withdraw collection agencies unti
such time when the farmer is get
ting some fairness and equity IN TN
operation of economic conditions"
Mr. Taylor, in reply, said in part
'sAs a matter of fact, the COLLECTION
activities of the department hav
lbcen reduced to a minimum in vie'
of the present situation. On tn
other hand, you will appreciate tina
it would not be feasible to WITHDRAW
altogether our collection agencie

ing hardship upon borrowers and, in
all other cases, to arrange for such
security as will insure the ultimate
payment Of the loans. While the
department under the statute is re
quired to collect these accounts, |
am sure that real effort will be
made by our people to make every
reas enable concession to the farmers
in your territory.'
Mr.. Kitchen, pointing out that sew
eral counties had instructed states
attorneys to proceed to enforce col
lection of county seed loans, said
there was excuse for action of the
counties, since they were forced to
meet bonds which are maturing, but
Ne felt the federal government, hay
ing granted the loans as an emer-
gency, should recognize an emergen'
cy still exists in enforcing collec-
ton
