MORE TRADE IN U. S.
BY the Associated Press.

In the face of declining dollar values,
Czechoslovakia's exports to the Ameri
can market showed a substantial In
crease during the third quarter this
year as compared with the preceding
quarter.
Declared exports to this country dur
ing the period were valued at $4234 $50,
compared with S2.35o, ,621 for the pre-
vicuS quarter.
1t was predicted in export circles
that Czechoslavakiau products would be
too expensive for American importers
because of the deprecated value of the
American dollar as compared with the
crown Exports, however have con-
tinued to increase the value of the

the Commerce Department attributes to
the desire of American importers to

yard or seed loans or federal land
bank loans, because borrowed money
is q debt that hears interest. Each
rather works Z hardship, instead Of
being benefit or q measure to bring
prosperity to the farmers. because such
loans must be repaid, and wherewith
will the farmer get the money to pay?
Not by keeping on borrowing more
money and paying interest.
We American farmers are asking
today as we asked In the past: PAY
us the cost Of producing the products
we raise with q little clear profit
above such cost, and we viii get along
without borrowing money, and will
ably take care OF cur farming bust
ness, unless natural elements destroy
our crops as they have for several
years, so that we have nothing to sell.
My opinion Is that the present barn
yard loan bears too high rate of in
terest. To my knowledge our govern-
ment Is not charging as high q rate
of interest when it loans money to
other industries, manufacturers or
railroad companies as 1t charges to
agriculture. The latter is the f0un-
dation Of all prosperity to all people.
Take the man, his pillow and cultiva-
ton away from American soil, let him
cease to raise food and material fol-
clothing, and our country, with all its
gold and silver, Its Well-built cities
and achievements, would crumhle in
to ruin and wilderness. People must
have food and clothing to exist. Why
then must the farmer pay a higher
rate OF interest than other groups?
Under the system the farmers ere
labortng under now, the barnyard loan
is not carrying with it the blessing to
the farmer that some people antici-
pated. My reason for this is: I had a
good cow to sell. She tipped the scale
at 1900. I wanted two cents per pound,
the buyer said he could give me only
one and ons-half cent. Later I had
two COWS to sell and wanted one and
one-half cents, the buyer could pay
but one cent. The same with hogs
wanted three cents per pound. They
were not runts, as two tipped the
scale at 1000 pounds. I received two
and one-half cents. This left me
$l7.20 short of money needed to pay
interest due From where shall raise
the shortage?
As long as farmers raise grain and
livestock and desire to sell such pro-
ducts, and the other man has tho IL
berty to put his price on them, not
considering the farmers cost Of pro-
duction, or the money he should re-
ceive to pay off his interest and debts.
How under the SUN will farmers be
enabled to nay of the barnyard
loansi Let some readers point out the
way it can be done. To my knowledge
there IS no other concern in business
that puts out something to sell and
let's the buyer put his price On 1t. and
continue doing business and make
money. as Is required Of the farmers
of America.
Yours truly.

ming to function, and, instead Of a Is
per cent reduction, a lot OF farmers
are finding out they will have to re-
duce so Per cent up. Why? Because,
in spite Of the fact that the farmer
was told leniency would DO shown
in every case where no figures were
available for the year or years Of the
basic period, the three-year aver
age has been taken and no figures
given meant that the year was
counted in Just the same, making the
total production acreage and produce
ton that much smaller In other
words the man who had just one
years figures to 60 by has been COM
PEELED to divide 1t by three. What
do you think of that? and, now, our
guess Is those same farmers, II they
do sign the contracts, will find them
selves practically out of the wheat
raising game and largely because they
had been expected to give In aver
ages in production and acreage cover
ing years when they did not farm
the places they are on. And now we
will ask once more, What Price
Wheat Allotment?" Fsrsonally, We
think it is too dear for q lot Of us
to pay.
Some months ago we wrote let
ter in the Peoples Forum calling the
attention Of the public to some of the
injustices and determinations of the
wheat allotment plan, and we called
especial attention to that part of it
pertaining to the getting Of. basic
production and acreages over the
three year period. At that time, we
said that tenants and others who had
no information were going to find
themselves up against it, and at that
time we were told by our county agent
that we should 60 ahead and fill out
the applications and that all leni-
ency would be shown. But this being
a governmental scheme and not one
o. merely state or county. We in North
Dakota had to abide by all the rul-
ings and regulations. The decision to
permit those who wished to, to take
the county average production instead
OF their own is good, but it is not
going to help the farmer who doesn't
know the acreage put into wheat on
his farm over the basic period. And,

Editor. Tribune:
What with the government arrai.g-

cotton farmer for each acre destroyed,
he wheat farmer is beginning to feel
lie is left holding the sack.
For. after all. the wheat allotment
',lan only pays on 81 per cent of the
basic crop raised, while the others
arc getting much larger percent
age. In the case of the wheat farmer
the subsidy as so many term 1t,
amounts to less than Is cents a bushel
Oh the total crop raised.
The processing tax. and incidentally
the allotment fee. should be increased
until it reaches parity with other
prices which the farmer must pay.
Just word about the hog processing
tax. It is mighty Unfair to compel q
farmer to pay this tax when he kills
and dresses hogs which he sells to
near by towns, and right there, II we
mistake not. Is where the whole
scheme hit snag, and a big one. To
compel a farmer to pay a tax on his
own products smacks much of Euro
