WESTERN FARMERS
Want some help
Think Coolidge Should Urge
Extension Of Time

Newell S. D.. July rs CUP -
President Coolidge recently sug-
gested that correspondents write
about the governments aid to
farmers in extending time limit on
their debts to the government from
AZ to 60 years.
The United Press correspondent
who arrived here today found that
the farmers are holding mass
meeting tomorrow night to protest
against the governments refusal to
extend time limits for payments
upon their obligations. They have
cultivated $4,000 acres of the 100,-
600 acre project which is watered
by the Bellefourches river which
was harnessed by the government
to make fertile farm land out of a
prairie desert.
F. S. Smith, who runs a weekly
newspaper at Bellefourche, says
there is justice in the farmers de-
mands. Their crops have been
gradually improving the last few
years but they have not made suf-
ficient money to pay off their debt
to the government in the present
specified time of 10 years. However,
a sugar beet factory has been To-
Gated out here this year and they
look for big crops next year.
From an airplane, the project
looks like a gigantic gridiron with
little rivulets two feet wide and 100
yards apart laid out upon the
ground to breathe fertility into the
soil, which furnishes annually ST.
100000 in sugar beets, alfalfa. Gu
cumbers, corn and wheat.
F. C. Youngblood is federal Off
cial IN charge OF the plant. He is
proud that the sugar beet factory
has been established and promises
that crops next year may be dou-
bled He believes that 10000 vacant
acres of irrigated lands may then
be settled.
I'VE are making garden OF the
desert" he said. The project is
growing every year. Rainfall has
been large this year and helped i'm
mensely. We will have the largest
crop since the plot was started in
1908"
Farmers. however. are complain
ing about the government require
ment that they pay off their debt
for land within ten years and they
hope Mr.. Coolidge will see fit to
lend his assistant to their move

IS Wilcox street and a young wom-
an companion as they were seated

from &c decline to lac gain, oats a
shade to 1e down and provisions un-

Scantiness Of stocks Of rye here and
prospects of export business in that
breadstuff added ginger to the brief
furry today, which lifted September
rye to the dollar mark. 1t was current
comment after the close that the first
heavy movement Of rye in the United
States this season has been well plac-
ed.
Nervousness pervaded the wheat
market owing mainly to wet weather,
likely to delay Canadian threshing.
Reports at hand indicated that prac-
tically all wheat in the prairie prov
inces of Canada has now been cut and
that good weather for threshing is at
present especially required. Trade
estimates of the wheat yield in Aus
tralia were reduced today 100000
bushels and the official estimate of
yield in France was 100000 bushels
less than a recent private report.
Corn values went lower early as a
result of 1,670,O0O bushels being de-
liVered here today on September con-
tracts. 1t developed later though that
all of this corn had gone into strong
hands. Rallies ensued and there was
increasing talk because of good feed
