MILLIONS SAVED
IN FARM INTEREST

Glasgow. Mont, June 29.-"The
balance sheets of literally hundreds
of thousands of farmers who have
secured loans from the Federal
Land Bank in last u years show
a real and tangible gain from such
loans" declared Z. NJ. Ehrhardt,
President of the Federal Land
Bank of Spokane which has loans
outstanding of S95, 100000 in Ida
no, Montana, Washington and Ore
gon, while discussing here today
farm credit problems with repre-
sentatives of local National Farm
Loan Association through which
the Bank does business. "The av-
erage reduction in interest rates
throughout the country is not less
than PC per annum, meaning a
saving of approximately S25,O00,-
0O0 each year to the 100000 bor-
rowers from the Federal Land
Banks in the United States, fully
100000 of which represents the
saving to farmers in these four
northwestern states. The bank has
made for stability, permanence
and increaed profit in the farming
industry"
Mr.. Ehrhardt stressed the fact
that the funds loaned are secured
mainly from the sale of bonds back
ed by the mortgages given by the
farmers. Upon these bonds the
Farmers of the Northwest pay APP
proximately S1,000,00O interest four
times annually, thus necessitating
prompt payment of installments
upon their long-term loans. The
bank has been reorganized within
the last year and a half and study
made of the records of loans in thi:
territory.
Farm property in certain local.
| ties in the Northwest is unduly
burdened with tax and such lane
must be excluded from credit priv
! leges," he declared. Tax delin
quency prevents farmers from Sc
curing the benefits of a co-opeTa
tive, long-term loan, for taxes al,
a first lien upon property, and tn,
banks mortgage cannot take sec
ond place. This applies not only t,
prospective borrowers but to thos
having loans as well. Therefore
officer of National Farm Loan As
sociations should make a searching
investigation of the ability of Dor
/ rowers to pay taxes and exclud
I those upon which the burden is to
heavy"
"The Federal Land Banks ar
no more government institution
: than are National Banks" continu
: ed Mr.. Ehrhardt. "The govern
ment has no investment in eithe
I the Land Bank of Spokane or tn
> National Farm Loan Association
of this district. The mistaken ide
, that the government owns tn
: stock in these institutions probabl
arises from the fact that to aid tn
> bank in starting it acquired mos
, OF the initial stock, but this lon
, since has been repaid and the stOc
4 is owned solely by the association
: 1t does, however, supervise tn
: Bank much IN the same name
that the Federal Reserve Board on
ersees the member banks of tn
Federal Reserve system.
The fact that the bank retains
spread of only one per cent betwee
n the rate of interest borne by il
il bonds and the rate charged boz
rOwers definitely limits it to il
: principal function of aiding tn
farmers to pool their mortgag
e credit so as to obtain the lowe:
r possible interest rate on borrowe
r lOng-term funds. 1t also makes
imperative that farmer adher
n strictly to their agreements to pa
:, their installment payments prompt

HEFARM BILL And

By George Duis of the Wheat Pool
With the set-up the government

the Agricultural Marketing Act,
farmers of the northwest producing
wheat can derive much benefit in

opportunity of realizing more near

wheat they produce.
There has been some opposition
voiced in connection with the farm

STATE TO BE SAVED
: INTEREST ON BONDS
CCsmtias<d from frH S2Ss1

considered that during the first four
months of this year the receipts
/ have been in excess of $1,000,000.
In 1928 the receipts of the Secre-
Eary of States Office totalled $685.
900, showing that this years total is
three times larger. 1t also appears
to indicate that for the next two
fiscal years the financial operation
of the State will be in no danger.
< Governor Bucks plan to pay as
YOU go' is based on the ability of
the Highway Commission to reduce
It's operating expenses and increase
its revenue. At this time there are
highway bonds totalling $11, $4,000
outstanding. 1t is the goal of the
Governor to reduce this amount to
Sc, 900 900 within year or two, so
that the interest which the High
way Commission is now paying on
bonds, may be greatly reduced.
This led to the meeting of the
Governor, Secretary of State Grant
land and the Sinking Fund Commis-
sion. 1t was decided to call in the
bond issue of 1918, 1919 and 1920,
whsSh are Az per cent bonds total
ling $1,935,000. Also bonds totalling
s165 900, taking the money from the
sinking fund.
: Now S2,35O,2OO.S4 In Fund
On April 1 there was a total of
S2,35O, ,200.34 in the sinking fund.
Most of this is the money paid on in
heritance taxes. Deducting the high
-way bonds stated and the other
State bonds, this would mean a total
of $2,1OO,OOO from the sinking fund.
: The next step in this financial
plan of the Governors will take
place January 1, of next year, when
Whatever money is available will be
utilized to further reduce the inter-
lest paid by the Highway Commits
sion. The next highway bond issue
is for a total of $1,829,000 and it is
hoped that a large portion of this
may be met.
Because the residents of the coun-
ties no longer have to pay dirt road
taxes, and with the State willing to
-look after the dirt road problem, it
is not believed any of the Levy
Courts will refuse the pleas of far
mers to cooperate with the State in
having roads built that will enable
the farmers to leave their homes in
winter weather without becoming
mired.
The next step in the Buck plan is
the State school building program.
There is appropriated $1,250,0O0 for
each of the next two years and it is
believed this will be sufficient to
complete the program as now out
lined. So that as whole the Buck
financial program for Delaware
looks most roseate at this time.

independence, Oregon, April 90
For the first time in history an i'm
ported Jersey COW has completed
an official test record of more than
one thousand pounds of ~butterfat.
The new record maker, Imported
Xenia's Oxford Lilac 574105 is own
ed and was tested by Harry D. Iliff
of Sunny Lea Farm, Independence,
Oregon. She has just finished a
365-day official test with a produc-
ton record of 1,022.37 lbs. of butter
fat and 1856 lbs. of milk. This
COW was bred on the Island of Jer-
sey, the island near the coast of
France where the Jersey breed origi-
mated. She was purchased in 1928
by Mr.. Tiff Immediately after she
had made the seven thousand mile
journey across the Atlantic and the
United States, and in that test she
produced 821 lbs. of butterfat, 49,
122 lbs. of milk in 365 days, with
calf.
Xenia's Oxford Lilac is not only
the highest record imported COW,
but she is also the twenty-second
Jersey in the United States to pro-
duce over 1000 lbs. of butterfat, or
1.176 lbs. of butter, in one year.
Her daughter, The Lions Lilac
671O92, also owned by Mr.. Iliff, is
now ON official test and is making
such a high production record that
Milford chronicle., 1929-05-03

it is probable that she, too, will
produce more than a thousand lbs.
OF butterfat in 365 days. In this
event, Xenia's Oxford Lilac and her
daughter will be the only dam and
daughter in the Jersey breed to
both exceed one thousand pounds of
butterfat on official test. The Lions
Lilac in previous test of 305 days
started when she was year and 8
months of age established a new
worlds record for COWS of all breeds
for that age class. With her yield
of 742 lbs. of butterfat and 10,752
lbs. of milk she won the first medal
of merit ever presented to a yearl-
ing COW by the American Jersey
Cattle Club.
Mr.. Tiff owns two other Jersey
COWS that have produced more than
one thousand pounds of butterfat in
an official test. These two COWS and
the new thousand-pound producer,
Xenia's Oxford Lilac, by their rec
ords give Mr.. Tiff the honor of being
the only breeder with three Jersey
COWS in the thousand pound class in
his herd. Mr.. lifts Jersey herd
rarely numbers more than a dozen
COWS but these COWS are such high
producers that they hold both ma
tional and state championships in
several age classes as well as many
other notable honors.
