BALKO FACES STIFF
COMPETITION IN TRY
FOR SECOND TITLE
State Husking Meet Starts at
1880 A. M. Friday; With
29 Contestants
STATE RECORD BROKEN
Springfield Plans Entertainment
for Large Crowd; Band
on Program

Ted Balko who thrives on worthy
opposition will have plenty of it
Friday when he enters the state corn
husking meet at Springfield with the
Minnesota title, prize money and a
trip to the national meet at stake.
Records made last week in other
county contests indicate that the op-
position will be first class; that Min
nesota's representative in the nation
al tourney will have established a
prestige worthy of sharp watching.
Balko held the state record, estab-
lished two years ago, until last week
when Isadore Veroeven of Bue Earth
county set new mark Of 24.64
bushels in the 80 minutes allowed
This is half bushel better than Bal
kos mark but was made three weeks
earlier than Balko's record and with
less mature corn which weighed heav-
ier per ear.
Balko's county victory this year
was attained with 2O.5 bushels which
is lower than several other state en-
trants who had more serious COM
petition and possibly better corn to
work with.
Herman Storm of Sleepy Eye,
Brown county champion, husked 22.6
bushels to win and will be danger
Gus competitor. Albert Voltin of
Fairfax won the first Renville coun-
ty contest with 1874 bushels.
The state contest will start at 1880
a. m. and will be held on the Albert
Anderson farm. Lunch will be serv-
ed by the Brown County Farm Bur
eau and the Springfield band will
play while the loads are being weigh
ed. Results will be available late in
the afternoon.
Bert Hanson who defeated Balko
in the state meet last year will enter
without competing in a county con-
test. Hanson entered the national
meet last year but finished behind
Balko who was runner-up there.

ORGANIZED; URGES
DEBT MORATORIUM
State President of Group Talks
to Packed Court Room Here
Tuesday Afternoon

Resolutions asking a two year
moratorium on debts secured by farm
mortgages, that all foreclosures be
stopped, that interest rates on farm
debts be reduced and other measures
be taken to relieve the harassed
farmer were adopted at a meeting at
the court house here Tuesday after
noon.
The court room was packed and
many were unable to get into the
meeting at which j. G. Holmstrom of
Roseau, Minnesota, talked. Mr.. Holm
strom is president of the Farmers
Covenant" an organization which he
stated is rapidly gaining members.
The plan as the president explain
ed it, is ts' have every county in the
state send a delegation next January
to present resolutions to the COVER
nor or the legislature and farm
mortgage holders. He expects to
have every borrower from the state
and federal land banks and other cor
porations holding mortgages on Min
nesota farms back the move when it
is presented.
After the president had explained
the details of the organization, he
asked that a chairman and secretary
be elected to conduct future meetings
and handle correspondence. Charles
Brau, Lucan, was elected chairman
and George Claussen, Redwood Falls,
secretary.
When Mr.. Holmstrom completed
his talk, he read the resolutions which
have been adopted in several other
counties in the state
Paul Doepke, Wanda, urged that
the resolution be amended to include
a clause on the tax penalties. The
following addition was approved:
"That amendment be added to first
clause of said resolution to have
penalty exempted from taxes to be
collected"
The resolutions approved are:
adopted at meeting held in Red
wood Falls by borrowers from the
state and federal land bank and 9TH
er corporations owning mortgages on
Minnesota farms.
"After many years of depression
we have now been reduced to state
where it is impossible to meet the
demands of our creditors with the
present price level of farm products.
We, therefore, ask first that all fore
closures be stopped during the de-
preston, second that a two year
moratorium be granted, third that
lower rates Of interest be arranged,
fourth that Pur Fabrics law be en-
acted by Congress, fifth that a flat
rate of railroad freight be granted
on all perishable farm products, six
tn that world conference on silver
be called to relieve the money string
ency by giving US more primary
money"
