FARMERS Will GET
SEED, FEED LOANS
Loans to Drought a n Hail
Sufferers Are for Crop Pro-
duction Only

Loans to farmers for seed, feed for
workstock, and fuel and oil for trac-
tors used in crop production, will be
confined to farmers who suffered Sc
rious crop loss In 1880, is tho gist of a
report received from Walter E. Eliff,
In charge of the Farmers Seed Loan
office at Grand Forks.
The most serious drought losses, he
says, were in the northwestern coun-
ties, especially Mountrail, but EXTEND
ing over into all or parts Of several
other counties. Another area rather
seriously affected in 1890 extended
from Barnes and Stutsman counties
northwest in the general direction Of
Minot. In some counties, such as
Pembina, Walsh and Towner, hail
damage was serious. Counties Seri-
ously affected by drought and hail
have been included in the territory
in which seed loans are being made.
Elsewhere in the state, crop con-
ditionS we're fairly satisfactory in
1880, except possibly for local areas
where drought or hail damage &C.
CURED. The principal difficulty for
farmers at this time in financing
their 1881 crop production in such
sections is due to low prices at which
grain crops have been sold, rather
than to unsatisfactory yields. Such
farmers are not entitled to aid under
the seed loan act.
Consideration is still being given to
requests of additional counties for
granting of seed and feed loans. fav-
Orable decision necessarily being based
on showing of serious reduction in
crop yields in 1880. North Dakota
suffered much less seriously from
drought in 1890 than many other
states, crop yields for the entire state
being estimated at practically 900
Of the average yields for the previ-
Gus ten years, as compared with a
corresponding figure of 62.8fo for
Arkansas. 60.5% for KentuckQ, $500
for Missouri, and 1920 for Oklahoma.
