DAUNTLESS FARMERS ARE SEEDING RYE;
GREATER FAITH NO OTHER MEN HAVE

St. Paula slowing up of the
movement of grain from the coun-
try to terminal markets in Min
neapolis, ST. Paul and Duluth is
likely to result from the general
rains over the Northwest the past
two weeks, as farmers are taking
advantage of the condition of the
soil to do their blowing, the Farm
ers Union Terminal Association
says in its weekly agricultural re-
view.
"The seeding of winter rye is
progressing rapidly in many Sec
tions of the Northwest" the re-
view says. "Rains have recently
interfered with the threshing in
the northern sections, but thresh-
ing is pretty well completed. The
rains have made it possible for
the farmers to get into the fields
and turn the soil over. Early in
the fall, the dry weather prevented
the normal amount of blowing.

Mark Hanna, then a Roosevelt

general under Hoover, is awaiting

expects Sen. Simeon Fess to re-
sign that job as soon as Fess can

movement usually takes place in
October, it is felt in most districts
that the peak of the 1880 wheat
movement has already been pass
ed, as the heat and dry weather
caused an abnormally earlyA har-
vest this year, and the hauling of
grain to market made it necessary
to ship grain to the terminals.
"About twice the usual percent
age of the receipts of the Farm
ers Union Terminal Association
are being placed in storage in ter
minals than i'm the normal year.
This would indicate that the grain
growers, dissatisfied with price
levels that are the lowest in "a
years, are going to hold their
wheat instead of selling it at the
present prices.
Mum On Advice
"The Farmers Union Terminal
Association is making no recon-
mendations as to whether the
farmer should sell or hold his
wheat, but is offering loans OF
Federal funds at low interest to
the farmers who desire to hole
their wheat for sale at a later
date.
"While the Farmers Union Ter
minal Association is making US,
of the Federal funds made avail
able for the benefit of the farm
er, it merely acts as an agent il
passing this money along to tn
grain grower.
"In every case possible, in lin
with the policy of the Farmer
National Grain Corporation, it j
dealing with commercial banks an
using to the fullest extent, tn
credit facilities offered by CON
mercial banks before seeking fund
from the Federal Farm Board. A

{ inal Association is using the cree
