DAIRY CATTLE RATE REDUCED

Announcement has been received
from E. C. Leedy, General Agricul-
tural- Development Agent, that the
Great Northern Railway will rein
state the reduced rates on dairy cat
, tie and breeding sheep commencing
April 20, 1925 and expiring Deem
Der 81, 1925.
The new rate is rs per cent of the
regular rate on cattle and sheep and
amounts to reduction of 25 per
cent. 1t applies to carload ship
ments from St. Paul, Minneapolis,
Duluth and Superior to most stations
in Minnesota, North Dakota and
South Dakota, and for shipments in
either direction between stations in
Minnesota and North Dakota, locally
or interstate. 1t covers shipments of
dairy cows, heifers, calves, bulls, and
breeding sheep, ewes, lambs or rams,
in straight or mixed carloads, with a
minimum of 1872 cents per cwt.
A few stations in Eastern Mime
sofa and South Dakota are excepted
from the application of this reduced
rate but these exceptions are unim-
portant as it is not likely there will
be any demand for shipments fU
these stations.
This reduced rate, together with
the liberal terms under which farm
ers may secure loans for the pur-
chase of dairy cattle and breeding
sheep from the Agricultural Credit
Corporation, should greatly stimu
late the interest of farmers in con.
tinuing and charging diversified
farming and live stock activities.
The Agricultural Credit Corpor-
alton of Minneapolis have just an
nounced that their general plan of
operating will be the same as last
year with only a slight change in the
terms. Loans will be made at the
rate of per cent per annum, pay
able in installments covering a four
year period, 10 per cent of the princi-
pal being paid the first year, 20 per-
cent the second year, 80 per cent the
third year and 40 per cent the fourth
year, on dairy animals.
Applications for loans for the pur-
chase of live stock should be made
through the county agent or through
local committees where they have
been organized, and if no local COM
mittee has been organized the Great

More than 500 farmers located
along the Great Northern Railway
took advantage of this opportunity to
secure or add to their livestock last
year, and almost without exception
they report that they are well pleased
with the results and the manner in

Plant foods. or the elements that make
plants grow, are just as essential In
the home garden as seeds. Nature has
been very kind In that she has sup
piled the most Of these elements In
abundance In our soils. but there are
few Of them which have not been
supplied In sufficient quantities TO pro-
duce good crops. These are mainly
nitrogen, phosphoric acid. potash and
lime. II is nitrogen that gives the
plants their vigorous growth and
healthy green color. Phosphorus aids
the growth and especially helps in the
formation of the seeds. Without pot
ash all garden crops would be a fail
ure, but some crops, such as potatoes,
beets, carrots, radishes, etc, require
more potash than others.
Garden soils may be acid or alkaline,
that Is, they may be sour or they may
be sweet, the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture explains. A few
Of our garden crops may be grown on
sour soil. but these are very few in

In nitrogen, and there should be a
