ing of the crop next spring.
A situation such as this is one
where the man must be placed ahead
of the dollar instead of the dollar
ahead of the man.
Our national government has de-
clared a moratorium on war debts for
n year. Distressed farmers in need
of financial aid with which to feeo
their families and livestock are re-
quired to furnish a first mortgage
lien to secure a few paltry dollars
which are of little or no benefit to
them.
We want to go on record advocat-
ing that the government should play
its parti n placing the mar ahead of
the dollar and loan funds to those
drouth-stricken farmers without Sc
curity-ON A PLAIN NOTE PAY
ABLE OCTOBER l, 1882. That is
the only method by which those needy
folks could be benefited because they
do not now posses the security with
which to 60 through the miles of red
of need whether it be agriculture, la
Dor or industry, that our own people
should be taken care of first and in
a manner which is benefitting of a
great nation.

1t would not be a new venture for
our government to loan funds on =
plain note. Millions of dollars have
been loaned in that manner to inter-
ests other than for the benefit of
farmers. Will the government ever
be repaid for such loan? That remains
to be seen.
The farmers of Montana and North
Dakota are honest men. They are men
tape which so far has been offered
by the government and which proves
of no benefit to the farmers.
We are not saying that a mortgage
on war debts is the right or wrong
thing to do. We do maintain that
American citizens are entitled to
every consideration within the power
of our government and that in times
of integrity who find themselves in a
deplorable situation. They need H.
nancial assistance without a lot of
red tape attached to it. They are men
who will do everything in their pow
er to repay every loan made to them.
We will grant that if the govern
metn did loan funds on a plain note
that there would be a certain percent
age that would remain unpaid. There
is also another angle to take into

DISTRESS MUST Be
ALLEWATED

The drouth situation is serious enough now but is certain
to become more acute. Livestock must be fed throughout the
winter and farmers suffering total crop failures are in dire
need OF financial aid without any strings attached to it.
lhey are unable to furnish security for loans such as Of
tered by the government. 1t is a case which calls for more
lenlency on the part OF the government-one which will make
funds available to those in need without unnecessary restric-
lions. The general depression coupled with drouth conditions,
both OF which are circumstances over which farmers have no
control, may cause serious hardship and human misery.
FARMERS In those areas are good honest farmers worthy
OF every consideration, and entitled to funds will which to
tide them over the handicap which co~nfronts them.
We believe that the government should arrange to loan
iunds TO the needy without a mortgage on their chattles,
loanlng 1t on a plain note payable October l, 1882. 1t is the
only nope TOR those who are unable to furnish security in the
form OF a first mortgage lien. Also, the limit now set by the
government to those who can furnish ample security is a
loan of $4.25 per head per month for five head of dairy cattle
five head of beef cattle and Is cent per head per month for
twenty-five sheep. Such a loan is good only for three months
and falls due on October 81, 1881. Very few farmers can take
advantage OF that plan and then would not be in position to
repay the loan at that time unless they disposed Of the chat
tells.
Every effort must be made to lessen the restrictions on
tn emergency fund of which $18,O 900 remains, and loan it
to farmers, under proper supervision so that benefits may be
had with the least burden possible placed upon the borrow
es until such a time as loans can be repaid.
Farmers, business men, bankers, county agents, civic or
CARNATIONS and individuals can do much by writing their
Senators and congressman asking that the Secretary of Ag-
rcuiture limit the restrictions on the relief fund and make
it possible for good honest farmers to borrow whether they
have security at this time or not
The Wheat Grower asks the cooperation of every reader
In this effort. Write your letters to Tho Wheat Grower, and
we will send them to the proper authorities, or write to your
Senators and Congressman direct.
Thousands of folks in the drouth-stricken sections of
North Dakota and Montana are in need of aid Our govern
ment, wealthy and powerful, should be the first to come to
their assistance.

Feeding Baby Beeves
to Make Good Finish

The standard baby beef ration IL
to ten pounds per head daily OF
clover or alfalfa hay, ten or twelve
pounds OF corn and one or two pounds
OF linseed oil meal. A few pounds of
oats can be substituted for part Of the
sorn IN the ration, but with prices as
they generally prevail 1t seems az
though cheaper results are usually OBJ
tanned with straight corn. Cottonseed
meal can be substituted for the lin
seed oil meal, but unless the cotton
seed meal is $40 a ton cheaper, 1t
eems az though the linseed oil meal
has a slight advantage. If neither
clover nor alfalfa hay is available, 1t
usually pays to buy enough so that
at least two pounds of legumlnOus
hay d be fed per head daily. The
calves can be started out on only four
or five pounds Of corn per head daily.
but IL is we'll to increase the ration
as fast as the appetite permits until
they are on full feed.

consideration. If those folks are ig-
nored and forced from their farms
they are taken off of the tax lists
and no revenue is coming from them
from that source. We do not want to
lose these good people. We want them
to be aided through these trying
times and to keep them on their
farms; enable them to get back on
their feet and to keep their schools
open SO that the next generation of
farmers, the boys and girls of today,
may continue their education.
These are plain facts. Facts that no
good citizen need turn from in shame.
1t is a condition which faces W and
it is our collective job to see that JUS
tice is done to those folks who are
suffering from unfortunate cncum-
stances.
Many Ways of individual aid pres
ent themselves and lthose who are
more fortunate can do a good turn
for a fellow agriculturist who is in
need. Feed in all probability will be
cheap this fall. Farmers in sections
where a good crop is being produced
might comparatively contribute a car
load of barley, oats, or hay, and ship
it to sections where it would serve a
most useful purpose. The burden
would be very light for each individ-
ual contributing his share while the
combined contributions would be of
much calue in saving livestock from
starvation.
The North Dakota Montana Wheat
Growers Association and the Wheat
Grower are ready to cooperate with
township committees, county agents,
bankers, civic organizations, and in
dividuaIs in bringing about a con-
crete plan by which the farmers in
the drouth-stricken areas may have
their hardships lessened. We will well
come communications from members
of the wheat pool, and all others cit
ing cases where aid is needed, and es-
pecially welcome information from
those who are in a position to help
those in need Do not send contrib
utions of money or commodities to us.
We will act as a clearing house for
information and do everything pos
sible to see that any aid offered is
placed where most needed. By get
ting in touch with the Wheat Grower
offering aid, we will inform those de-
string to help where to send donations
of feed, clothing or money.
We are particularly interested in
securing support Of banks, civic or
CARNATIONS, county agents and farm
ers in asking the government to make
loans to our farmers on plain notes
so that they may continue to stay on
their farms. Under present conditions
of l%oaning funds by the government
the farmers most in need are unable
to secure a loan, and they must be
taken care of as well as those who
are in more fortunate circumstances.
There are thousands of honest, hard
working men, women and children
who are in need today. They should
be trusted and placed ahead of the
dollar by letting them have funds by
signing a plain note payable October
|, 1892.
We as a nation should place more
confidence in mankind and a good
deed well done will never be forgot
ten.
Let's help these good folks over
their rough road. The time to prepare
is at hand. Will you cooperate with
us?

PLACE THE man AHEAD OF THE DOLLAR

The damage and suffering wrought
by the drouth in western North Da-
kOta and eastern Montana is of pro-
portions which necessitates immediate
action if human misery and want is to
be avoided 1t is no time for political
pros and cons but a time when we
must all unite on one thing: How
those farmers may be aided in fac
ing the serious situation which con
fronts them.
The North Dakota Montana Wheat
Growers Association and The Wheat
Growers are fully informed of condi-
tons existing in the drouth-stricken
areas. Constructive aid must be pro-
vided before winter sets in and there
is no time like the present to muster
every effort SO that every farm FAM
lily in need of aid may have it provid-
ed without suffering any hardship.
To date nothing constructive has
been offered. A weak attempt has
been made by the government to loan
funds, however, under the plan 1t
amounts to but a gesture and will
prove of no benefit to those agricul-
tural sections hit by the drouth.
Under the plan, the government
proposes to loan on a basis of a small
sun per month on five head of dairy
cattle, five head of beef cattle and Is
head Of sheep. 1t requires a first
mortgage lien on the chattels payable
on October 81, 1881. 1t is certain that
anyone able to borrow under this plan
would be unable to repay the loan
this fall because there would be no
salable crops and farmers would be
foced to sell their livestock to pay
the indebtedness.
Areas affected by the drouth have
suffered partial to total crop failures
for the past two years and the stu
alton this year is the third year of
such conditions. Farmers in those ar
eas are unable to furnish security
to the government in the form of a
first mortgage lien, and it is only
natural to assume that individuals
banks and other first mortgage hold
ers would not ~relinquish their rights
in favor of the government. 1t would
be quite probable that those holding
first mortgages would foreclose and

Eastern Montana and Western
North Dakota are fertile sections
which have heretofore produced abb
undants crops and livestock. The un-
fortunate condition p0nfrOnt1ng the
farmers there at this time is one over
which they had no central. They are
honest country men and women who
are diligently striving to make a liv-
ing for themselves and to educate
their children. Conditions in the past
three years have made it impossible
for thousands of them to pay taxes
and the possibility of closing schools
is another situation which must be
avoided if there is any possible man.
e in which it can be accomplished.
There are three serious points to
be considered and for which aid must
be provided. They are:
/. To see that no human suffer-
ing is causd due to lack of food
and clothing.
2. That funds for the purchase
of feed, OF actual feed is provided
SO that livestock may be taken
care of throughout the winter
months.
3. Seed provided for the plant
