REPORT FARMERS
In DRAWING
GOVERNMENT LOAN
Application Forms Must Be
Properly Filled Out
Says Director

CPOKANE, Wash, April 6
0-(AP)- The Northwest
Farmer has federal funds
waiting for him, but he is
very slow in learning how
to apply for them, the gov
eminent seed loan office
here says.
John F. Davies, director of seed
loans, said today that agricultur-
lists badly in need of funds could
borrow up to several hunred dol
lars from the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture if they would
only fill out their application forms
properly.
Loans r being held up and we
are having a great deal of trouble
by reason of the fact that the ap-
plication forms are not properly
filled OUT he stated. "Yet every
field inspector, county extension
agent and every county advisory
committee will help the applicant to
make out his forms if he will APP
ply to Them"
In the northwest states, where
there are balances unpaid on 1880
and 1881 seed loans, the secretary
of agriculture has approved a plan
for spreading the balance over 1882,
1888 and 1884 crops, when the bal
ance is more than 5000. Renew
al forms and agreements are being
distributed now, Davies said.
The department of agriculture
has also authorized the use of loans
to pay water charges for irriga-
ton mot to exceed three dollars
per acre, total to be included with
in the limit of $400 to the individ-
ual borrower"
"The final thot in all these mat
ters," said Director Davies, "is the
good faith of the applicant. He will
find county committees, newspa-
pers, bankers and everyone inter
ested in this government enterprise
very willing to help out"
There are severe penalties in
connection with fraudulent state
ments made by the prospective bor-
rover.

definitions of their respective
powers. At present, powers of
these agencies are very hazy and
ill-defined, and where such au-

serious delay in urgent matters

LOT 7 IS P|T|FUL,
LANDS GONE,
HE ASSERTS
Government Has Failed in
Duty to Redskin Wards,
View After Tour

Starvation will be the lot of
many Indians next winter un-
less the Federal Government
lends a helping hand, Senator
Lynn j. Frazier (R.) of North
Dakota, chairman of the Indian
Affairs Committee, said here
today.
The Indian. Frazier said, not
only has suffered because the
white man has taken away his
hunting grounds, but he feels the
depression worse than others be-
cause he is the last man to get
job or help.
Frazier, who has just COM
pleted 5,000-mile inspection trip
with other members of the COM
mittee. declared that the Federal
Government has failed to do its
duty to the Indians, adding:
The Bureau of Indian AT
fairs is making an effort to
help them, but the Bureau lacks
FUNDS because Congress cut
the appropriation last winter.
LOT is PITIFUL
"The lot of the Indian in
some places is pitifuI. He has
been given the poorest land
in many sections. Where the
land is suitable for irrigation
there is no water.
In California many Indians
have in the past been declared
nOnwardS of the Government
and permitted to leave the
reservations to seek jobs in the
cities. Now, the Comptroller
General rules that the Govern
ment cannot help them, ard
they cannot get back to reSer-
vatiOnS. They are out of work.
TRIBAL TIES CUT
"It seems to me that the Gov
ernment has a moral response
bility. The Interior Department
encouraged Indians to leave the
reservations to make room for
others, and they have suffered
because their tribal relations
were severed"
Estimating the Indian popula
ton at 100000, Frazier said it had
decreased in some sections, add
ing:
"SOme of the tribes, undOubt-
edly, will become extinct unless
they are given work or better
land"
AS a result of the trip it is ex
pected the committee will recon
mend appropriation of a star
vation fund" to help the Indians
through the winter.
