SEEK AID FOR

tiOn Loan

The status of Burleigh county with
reference to the $1,00O,0OO loan dis
tribution planned to be made by the
Agricultural Credit Corporation, to
assist farmers who desire to pur-
chase livestock for diversification
purposes, has been considered some
what uncertain because of the fact
that county agents of 35 counties
are summoned to the conference and
it is through them that the agency
plans to function. Railroads offer
ed to have agents cooperate in coun-
ties where there are no county
agents.
Burleigh county has no county
agent, but may be- represented by
several citizens. sP. C. Remington,
president of the City National Bank,
who is a member of the North Dak-
ota advisory board of the .Agricul-
tural Credit Corporation, plans to go
to the Fargo meeting, and said to-
day he will endeavor to have an ar
rangement made whereby Burleigh
county farmers will be able to OBJ
tain loans for diversification pur-
poses, if they desire, the same as
are made counties having county
agents.

ASSAIL CONGRESS

Toxic. April lS.--tBy the A. p.)--
Japanese newspapers in their COM
ment on the passage by the Senate
OF the Japanese exclusion provision
of the immigration bill show gen
eral refusal to believe that Ambassa-
dor Hanihara's letter greatly influ-
enced the Senate's action. The Jill
Shimbo, which is typical, says the
letter only furnished an excuse for
Japan's enemies.
Americans, the newspaper says,
should consider the difference of the
degree of the insr!; Congressman
insist they received from the an.bas-
sador and the insult which exclusion
means to Japanese.
"The case IS hopeless" says the
Nichi Nichi. THE question has be-
come the gravest in Japan's foreign
relations. American Senators at
tackled Ambassador Hanihara's letter
but that is merely an excuse for
their action. They are trying to
shift the blame for exclusion to the
Ambassador. How can peace in the
Pacific be safe-euarded if Japan's
conciliatory attitude is ignored? Per-
haps it is equality among the white
races but that does US no good. If
exclusion is legalized, Japanese
American relations revert TO what
they were before the Washington
conference"

CREAM AGENTS
ARE WARNED OF
WARM WEATHER

Cream agents in the state are
warned in a circular letter sent out
by w. F. Reynolds, state dairy COM
missioner, to prepare to avoid diff
cultjes with cream which come with
warm weather.
"The weather is warming up which
naturally will cause cream to sour
quicker and get old and stale quick
er than it will in cold weather. he
says. "Talk to all of your patrons
and ask them to put in cooling tanks
This doesn't need to cost anyone but
very little. One of the main things
in caring for cream is to remove the
animal heat as quickly as possible.
"Advise your patrons to keep the
cows off the wild onion pasture. The
cows could go in the stubble fields
for while in the spring in order to
give the pasture start. As soon
as the grass gets good start the
cows get more grass and less onions
proportionately which gives less on
ion flavor to the cream"
