Seed Loan information

-. By E. G.. Ferguson -
: On Friday evening, April 4,
: County Agent Ferguson met
: Mr.. o. S. Fisher, who is IN
charge of the Federal Seed
Loan office at Grand Forks,
North Dakota, to get inform
alton pertaining to the distri-
button of seed loan funds for
: Sheridan county. Mr.. Fisher,
after making an investigation
as 10 the yields of 1929, has
eliminated tie south part of
the county, and has made
available for this district S20,-
OOO. There are very strict
qualifications laid down by the
Federal Department IN order
to secure the benefit of the
SEED loan. The qualifications
for the seed loan are as fol-
lows: Farmers who have made
a previous loan for seed pur-
poses from the Federal Gov
eminent must have this loan
paid before consideration can
be given to the application.
Only farmers who have an av-
" erage yield of five bushels or
F." less for 1929 are eligible for
assistance. In cases where
? farmers have already given a
1880 crop mortgage, it will be
necessary for them to have a
waiver signed in favor of the
United States government
from the party who is now
holding the mortgage. In
many cases this fact will cause
considerable delay, as in the
case of machine mortgages,
the majority of these papers
are held in New York, Chicago
and other financial centers.
These funds can be used for
the purpose of seed and feed
only. Farmers may apply up
to the amount of $500, but it
is very doubtful as to the pos
sibility of any farmer in North
Dakota, Minnesota or Montana
receiving the full amount of
the loan Application blanks
may be secured at the follow
ing points: Hardware store,
RedstOne; Bank, Outlook; Far
mers Elevator, Raymond;
Bank, DOOley; Bank, Westby;
Dagmar Store and the County
Extension Office, and will al
so be distributed through all
the banks IN the county so
that the public may have
quick access to same. After
the applications are completely
filled out, they should be ad-
dressed to the County Seed
Loan Committee at Plenty
wood. 1t will be necessary
for this committee to pass on
the applications before they
are sent to the Federal Seed
Loan Office at Grand Forks.
The county committee con-
sists of L. G. ZiedIer, Plenty
wood; Andrew Uelani1, Out
look, and L. ]. SOrby, D'oOley.
The County Committee will
have the power to appoint
community committees to in
vestigate all applications that
are received. The blanks will
be distributed to the above
mentioned towns by the latter
part of this week and farmers
who desire TO make applica-
tons for a Federal Seed Loan
should do so as soon as pos
sible.

Is true that they say the money

the government who are snooD-

not giving a penny of this loan
to needy wheatgrOwers insist that
the government expects every

Well, our government is not so

The farmers are IN the same
boat as the Soviet Union, and for
the very same reason. The Hso-
yer administration frowns on
bankers loans to Russia. 1t refus-
IS to recognize Russia. 1t fears
such loans would help the work
ers and farmers of the Soviet
Union to build I'D socialist indus

1t appears that the government
does not want hundreds of thous-

to put IN their crops this year.
Many who have seed have not the
money to buy gas and oil to op-
crate their machinery. The Farm
board is waging a campaign to
induce the wheat growers to re-

holding of money for seed grain
IS as good a way as any to COM

CURB PRICE TREND
 IN MARROW LANES
Few Firm Spots Seen-Some
 Profit Taking Evident

New York, April (P) - Price trends were divergent and largely narrow on the curb market today. Merger prospects caused heavy buy ing of some of the utility stocks. and there were a few firm spots among the industrials and special ties. There was fairly wide ten dcncy to take profits on recent ad- yances, however, as traders were in clined to feel that a moderate set back might be reasonably expected after the sustained rise, and that a large increase in brokers loans this week might turn the tide.
 Niagara Hudson Rises
 Niagara Hudson was a strong fea- ture of the utilities, pushing for ward into new high ground for the year in heavy buying in response to rumors that r. L. Carlisle, chairman, will be elected to the board of Con- solidated Gas of New York, fore shadowing q merger of close affili- etion of these two leading New York utilities. Brazilian Traction sold up moderately in reflection Of reports that both American and Foreign Power and International Telephone were interested in acqulr- ing it. Hydro Electric securities was again strong, pushing further into new high ground. Electric Bond 6; Share, however, was again under pressure, and several other utility shares were inclined to case.
 \ Oils and Gas Less Active
 Oil and gas shares were less ac- tive, and mostly moved in narrow ranges. Cities Service sagge1 frac- tionally, and Gulf slipped modcr- ately lower. The Standard isues, however, were generally steady to firm. Petroleum Corp, an invest ment company sponsored by Banc- america Blair, sold up fractionally to new high ground for the year, reflccting the sharp advance yester- day in Prairie Oil, in which it IS heavily interested.
 Industrials and specialties were highly irregular. ENccllo Aircraft was a firm spot, selling up substAu- tially. Recent purchase of an ln- terest i'll the company by Hayden Stone & Co. interests suggests a possible merger or atfillation wit n Curtiss- Wright Corp. Todd Ship yards, a recent sleeper, shot up a few points to new high ground, and Silica Gel moved up to around it's best levels of the year in active trading. Technicolor again sold off, and Starret Corp, a recent strong spot, lost few points in realizing.

 LESSENED DEMAND
Amusement Securities Rise, But
 Remainder Of List Is Dull

New York, April ? tP(-Invcst- day and listed issues of the higher grades moved almost imperccptibly from the Tuesday closing prices. United States governments were par ticularly dull in the carly trading.
 Changes of more than point in the rails appeared only in thin deal ings Instances included declines of points in Southern Railway 612 S and Rio Grande Western first 4s and gains of a point in New York Gen. Burlington 4s, all on small transac- tions. Broader interest was shown in Rock Island Refunding As, New York Central Is, Delaware 6c Hud- son 4s. Missouri Pacific 5s, and St. Louis, San Francisco 4l2s but quo- tations remained virtually unchang- cd.
 Much of the days activity was in obligations of amusement compan- ies. Schubert Theatcrs Gs rose more and without warrants. traded at about their record prices. Warner Brothers Pictures 6s, a stock war rant bond, was active and firm.
 Utility, railroad and industrial convertiblcs were quiet and inclined lower during the earlier part of the session.
 Rio De Janeiro Ss led the foreign division with a one point rise to 105, just under their best prices. Euro pcan governments were firm.

renewal and improvement of equip laent and service, lowest possible rates compatible with fair wages and favorable working conditions for it's employees and the accumulation of a certain profit to pay dividends to stockholders and for use as surplus.
 Railroad prosperity and depres- sion run in cycles" N1r. Smith said, "and the New Haven road is just now emerging from>a period of po- verty. Fifteen years ago the New Haven road was the best in the country and people came from all over the world to study our methods in handling transportation problems. Then the road suddenly wakened to the realization that it was facing the double menace of increasing costs and prevalent rate reductions. The road had to stop paying dividends and almost went into the hands of the sheriff."
 Factors contributing to this rcvit- alizing of the roads financial status were then described in detail, one of the most novel methods being the substitution of longer trains for the short trains which up until then had been the rule.
 Bus No Rival
 we arc losing some Of our freight trade to buses,' the railroad head continued. but that is not wor- rying us much because the buses can not begin to compete with us because of the high cost of transportation over any apprcciable distance by this method.
 "One of the peculiar things we have found is that the public wants more expensive passenger service. Coach trade has dropped but parlor car and sleeping car returns showed decided increases. To combat this trend we are trying to make our coaches more comfortable. We haVe just bought 100 new cars that are the latest word in luxurious trans portation and hope we will be able to persuade the riding public to use them. We will make more money if they do.' the speaker contded humorously in an aside.
 There has been a remarkable step forward in the field of safety, 320 deaths for the year. Now we have but so and most of these are in our own family. Only two passengers were killed in the last 4 years in what is termed railroad accidents By that term we mean accidents oc- curing on the road not through the fault of the passenger himself. Of course we still have people who get train sick and so out on a platform and open door and get thrown off when the train rounds curve and people still insist in trying to board or leave a train in motion. These arc not classed under the technical term railroad accidents
 In conclusion Mir. Smith warned his hearers against grade crossing accidents. ''Three out of every hun dred persons killed in auto accidents are killed on railroad crossings" he said.
 Hugh McKenna presided at the luncheon for the first time since his return to Florida where he went some tiEle ago.
 Announcement was made for an interclub meeting to be held in Hartford May 1 at which former Premier Drury of tho Province of Ontario, Canada, will be the speaker.
 Visiting Hartford Kiwanians at today's meeting were Frank Tin dall. Philip II. LaFleur and Edwin w Putnam
