GIVE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR ELEVATOR LOANS.
Grain Association Manager Puts
Out Directions for Methods
Of Procedure

Minneapolis, Sept. 3.-(P-Instruc-
lions for obtaining advances upon
elevator stored grain by members of
The Northwest Grain association were
lnnouced today by w. j. Kuhrt, gen.
.ral manager of the regional COOPER
alive association, he said detailed in
structions regarding making these
loans have been mailed to all man
ayers of the member elevator asso-
Citations in Minnesota, North Dakota,
South Dakota, Montana, and Wis
consin.
While the northwest grain associ-
alton will make loans to growers
through other than member elevators,
Mr.. Kuhrt pointed out that the in
Structions announced are applicable
only to member elevators Of the aSso-
citation and are to be used only in the
case Of elevator stored grain. He
stated that details of making advance
loans to shippers who do not belong
to the organization will be announced
later together with instructions for
making loans on farm stored grain
in states where a farm storage act is
in force.
According to the announcement the
Northwest Grain association will adj
vance up to 70 per cent of the local
value Of all grain, including flax,
based on the local card price exclusive
Of premium values. Advances on flax
may not exceed q maximum of $1.25
per bushel. This schedule will apply
equally in the case of ordinary stored
grain and in the case of grain which
the member wishes to pool. The in
terest rate on these advances win be
6h per cent.
To obtain these advances, according
to the Instructions, the grower need
only sign the producer membership
agreement of the association and en-
dorse his storage ticket over to the
association. The proceeds Of the adj
vance will be paid by the local ele-
vator manager, Immediately upon de-
livery Of the grain.
In the "a Of ordinary stored
grain, that is, grain not pooled, Mr..
Kuhrt pointed out that the grower
retains full right to determine the
time Of sale of his grain, except in the
case where the market price falls to
q point so as to jeopardize the safety
Of the loan. However, where the pro-
ducer elects to have his grain handled
in q pool, he must pass over to the
local elevator, which in turns passes
owe to the Northwest Grain associ-
alton, the right Of determining the
time Of sale. In II cases, according
to the announcement, the grain must
be sold and final settlement made to
the producer on or before July 1881.

Range We:ther
Man Sees 1881 as
Good Year

Continued from Page ~
based solely IN temperature and rain
fall predictions.
Potatoes, Mears said, will yield q
bumper crop but the production will
be so tremendous that the price viii
be so low as to make them unprofit-
able to the farmer.
Says Nature Repeats
MI. Mears' system OF predicting the
weather is based on the theory that
nature. like history, repeats Itself
and is based wholly on government
weather bureau statistics Of recorded
temperature and rainfall.
Two years ago, some local persons
recall, he forecast that the years OF
1929 and 1880 would be deficient In
rainfall. In 1926 he forecast q dry
year but IN 1928 his prediction was
that crops would be good.
MI. Mears said he has kept out Of
the newspapers because Of the fact
that most Of the news he has given
out In recent years has been bad.
Now, however, he feels that the peo-
pie generally would welcome q har-
binger Of better times.
The system which he uses in fore
casting rainfall and temperatures,
Mears said. was first devised eight
years ago but 1t did not take all fac
tors into consideration and contained
some Inaccuracies. In 1926, how
ever, he perfected his method Of fig.
uring and since that time his fore
casts have been 100 per cent accur-
ate, he said.
In addition to general forecasts by
large divisions such as states, it in
cludes separate forecasts for smaller
districts and areas, Last year he pre-
dicted that the heaviest rainfall in
North Dakota would occur in the
northeastern quarter of the state be-
tween Devils Lake and Pembina. The
statistics kept at the weather bureau
here, he said, bear him out. For Bis
marck he predicted a rainfall de-
ficiency Of two inches. This also
came true, he said.
Predicts Heavy Rainfall
Next year, however, the rainfall
will be at least three inches above
the normal Of II inches, he said, and
this, together with cool weather, viii
produce q bumper crop Of small
grains but will not be so favorable
for corn.
At the beginning. Mears said, he
based his computations on a 1O-year
cycle but found this inaccurate.
Then he discovered that nature
travels In 9 40-year cycle, he said,
with smaller inner cycles of 10 years
each.
To demonstrate this he goes back
to the period from 1886 to 1890. when,
he said, rainfall and temperature
were similar to that experienced dur
ing the last four years. In 1891, how
ever, conditions improved and for q
long period Of years were conducive
to prosperous agriculture, he said. His
belief IL that North Dakota now is
at the beginning Of the cycle with
q long series Of good years Just ahead.
Along about 1916. however. conditions
viii resembly those Of the last four
years. according to his system.
