Farm Loan Will
Be Speeded Up
MOrgenthau, Head of Farm Credit
Administration Visits Twin Cities
to Stabilize Situation

The granting of farm loans will
proceed with much greater vigor
than in the past, Farm Bureau lead
ers and heads of other farm coop
erative organizations have been in
formed by Henry Morgenthau, gov
ernor of the farm credit administers
ton. Mr.. Morgenthau gave the
debt-harassed farmers of the north
west this assurance when he met
with farm leaders in st. Paul Oct.
IL.
Whereas in the past there have
been long delays in action on farm
loan application, hereafter the ap-
plicant should be able to get yes
or mo- answer from the Federal
Land Bank within three weeks
Mr.. Morgenthau said. From furth-
err remarks made by the chief OF
the agricultural farm loan service,
it is indicated that appraisals will
be more liberal in the future than
they have been in the past.
Mr.. Morgenthau recently issued
a request that farmers in immediate
danger of foreclosure wire him, so
that emergency attention could be
given to their plight The Minneso-
Ia Farm Bureau is interceding with
land officials In an effort to say
foreclosure and allow farmers to
hang. on until AAA benefits reach
them and make it possible for them
to pay out.

the banner offered by the st. CLOUD
Times for the champion speller al
the 1888 Stearns county fair ir

In the contest Mary was still
standing after all of her opponents
had retired. She was still standing
when the teachers gave up the idea
of finding a word which she could
not spell. Her father, Moses Wicks
is an old friend and subscriber Of
the Herald. It is just possible that
Mary's proficiency in spelling was
helped a bit by reading this great
family journal since childhood.
Rev. FIR. Laurer, pastor of the
Ward Springs parish warned the
newspapers not to lay claim to
Mary as belonging to their com.

cure Funds for Sewage
Disposal Plant
FOLKS SHOULD ATTEND
Speakers Will Discuss Every
Phase of Proposition
J. H. Auditorium

Every citizen of Sank Centre
should attend the Mass meeting at
the Junior High School auditorium
this Thursday evening to hear the
proposition of the city issuing
bonds in the sum of $4,000 for the
construction of a sewage disposal
plant.
The special election will be held
Monday, Oct. %. The polls will be
open from $50 a. m, to 500 p. n.
The voters of the First Ward, all
those citizens residing on the north
side of Third street, will cast their
ballots at the Armory, Third and
Elm streets. The voters of the Sec
ond Ward are those citizens resid-
ing on the south side of Third
street. They will vote at the City
Hall, Third and Pine streets.
At a meeting of the directors of
the Community Club Friday even
ing of last week the proposed bond
issue was thoroughly discussed. AS
a result a resolution was unani-
mously passed indorsing the issue
and urging the citizens to support
the proposition.
At this Thursday evenings meet
ing City Attorney L. l.. Kells will.
explain the bond issue, and reason
for the special election call. DR.. A.
F. Moynihan, president of the Wat
er, Light and Power Commission,

tude. DR.. J. F. Dubois, chairman
of the Sank Centre Board of
Health, will discuss the sanitary
need. a. representative of the State
Department of Health will. attend
the meeting and explain what the
state requires in the manner of
handling sewage disposal. An OPP
portunity will be given those who
desire to ask questions.
Last weeks Herald very extern
sively explained the special cleo
ton and what the passage of the
bonds would mean to the citizens,
inasmuch as many men would 9TH
er wise be compelled to ask the
city for help in caring for their
families over the winter months.
A large number of families would
be made selssustaining by the work
they would receive on the installa-
ton of the plant, whic will be built
this winter.
The city proposes to borrow the
money from the investment board
of the state of Minnesota at Az
per cent interest. The bonds will
run for 20 years with on or before
privilege.
An attempt will be made to secure
80 per cent of the cost from the
Federal government under the law
to assist public improvements.
The engineers in charge of the
plans and specifications will also be
present at the meeting.
President Carl Fischer, of the
Community Club, will preside.
The Herald believes it is for the
best interest of the citizens, and
especially all workingmen to sup
port the bond issue.

Actual Resignation Not Sent;
Disarm Moves Watched for

Geneva Hopeful - Austria
Nips Revolt Reply to
Germany

Berlin, Oct. 17-Chancellor Hit
ler's spokesman declared Tuesday
night that Germany intends to
live up to treaty obligations even
though she has announced her
withdrawal from the League of Ma
tons and the disarmament confer
ence.
But to all questions regarding the
reich's plans after such withdrawal
they gave the stock reply of the
foreign minister, Konstantin Won
Neurath, that 'the others now have
the floor"
Replies to inquiries whether the
government had purposely refrain
ed from writing a formal letter Of
resignation from the League, or
whether this omission was accident
al were cryptic
In No Hurry to Quit League
One spokesman asserted Zone
does not talk about that" and an
other explained, II am sorry, but
about that I can give you no in
formation"
The inference was drawn that,
while Germany was quick to notify
Arthur Henderson of the resigna-
ton from the arms parley, she is
in no hurry to leave the League.
When asked about their attitude
regarding the Versailles and Locar-
no pacts and the League covenant
spokesman fastened to declare that
Germany intends to fulfill these OBJ
! legations.
In support of these assertions,
they cited Propaganda Minister
Goelbels who, in a statement to a
London newspaper, said that Ger
many sticks to her treaty obliga-
tons, but demands that other sign
ers similarly fulfill their prom
ises." '...-. --.. '..
Regarding the League covenant,
official German Commentators drew
attention to the fact that Germany's
/ position in reference to it is the
same as after Germany signed the
Versailles postwar treaty, but be-
fore she entered the league.
Just as before her entry she gen.
orally accepted provisions and prin-
ciples of the covenant, so she in
tends in the future to observe them,
government representatives assert
ed.
Whether more concrete plans for
Germany's future foreign policy
will be divulged in the course of the
ensuing reichstag election campaign
remains to be seen.
The United States ambassador,
William e. Dodd, came away from
conference with Chancellor Hitler
with the impression that Germany
is anxious to resume or continue
her contact with the rest of the
world.
Germanys foreign policy, accord
ing to an official communique, will
dominate the campaign leading up
to the elections and piebescite No
vember ~ on the governments re-
cent course.
The chancellor, Reichsminister
Goering, and DR.. Goebbels intend TO
take the stump frequently to dis
cuss the foreign policy. The cabinet
met Tuesday but the foreign policy
apparently was tabled for the time
being.
Hitlers sub-leaders from the en-
tire nation gathered at the presi-
dency and heard DR.. Wilhelm Frick,
minister of the interior, outline
plans for the coming campaign.

Opinion Must Up
hold Tax Reform
Mcdonnell Lauds Movement Before
National Tax Conference At
Phoenix, Arizona

If there is to be a gradual i'm
provement in the taxing system, the
taxpayer will need the help of men
of all political creeds, James p.
Mcdonnell, president of the Min
nesota Taxpayers Association, de-
clared in a talk before the Nation
al Tax Conference at Phoenix, Ari-
iona.
Every citizen has an equal duty
to participate in the efficient func-
tioning of government, some as
elective officers; others as the vot-
ers who elect these officials. The
private citizen may be a public Of
fetal tomorrow; the officer today
may be a private citizen tomorrow.
The responsibility for good govern
ment, therefore, is on the servant
and on the master. For in Amer
lea, the servant and the master
change places frequently, and both
classes are made up of the same
kind of human beings" Mcdonnell
pointed out.
Laws represent the composite
opinion of men. Whatever life
there is in law is breathed into it
by the common consent of men.
Taxpayers today realize that the
most effective force that ultimate
ly will bring reforms in our taxa
ton system is public opinion.
Scientific methods of taxation may
be carefully worked out by experts
better plans may be designed than
we have today, but it is not likely
that they will be effectual in re-
vamping our taxation methods un-
til these reforms meet with favor
able public reaction, and they cam
not be sustained unless they have
public opinion behind them," Nc
Donnel declared.

Short Term
Credit Plans
AreOutlined
S. M. Garwood. Production
Credit Commissioner, Out
lines Government Plans
PROGRESS TO BE RAPID
Plan to Be Used In Northwest
Has Worked Well In
Arkansas

When everything is in readiness
to start the actual setting up of
the production credit associations
of farmers, the new type lending
agency launched in ST. Paul last
week, word will be sent to every
county in the 7th Federal Land
Bank district through the news
papers, and the Production Credit
Corporation of st. Paul will be
ready to send out organizers, it
was announced by s. M. Garwood,
production credit commissioner,
who remained in st. Paul for day
to supervise preliminary prepare
tons. Until plans are complete so
that organization can be carried on
rapidly and smoothly without any
clogging of applications, Mr.. Gar
wood asks that all prospective bor-
rowers wait for word from head
quarters in st. Paul.
I'VE do not want to start until we
can go ahead without any set
backs" said the commissioner.
when we form the first associa-
ton we want to be ready to organ
ize another the next day, and the
next, and to carry this work on
without interruption. It may be a
month before we are ready to start
this, and hope that people will
not begin writing in about it. We
will give plenty of notice to every
body, just as soon as we are pre-
pared to do business.
Everyone will know just where
to apply, and we will have all neces-
sary literature and field forces
ready to do the work. When the
applications for loans begin to come
in we intend that the associations
shall be ready to handle them cur
rently, and to get the loans closed
without delay. If people who may
want to borrow through these as
sociations begin to write in about
the plan now, Or try to make appli-
cation before everything is in
working order, they will simply
hamper us and cause delay in get
ting service"
These production credit associa-
tons are being formed nationally
now along lines that Mr.. Garwood
worked out and made successful In
Arkansas for two years, Governor
Henry Morgenthau Jr., told a din
ner audience the other night.
When the banking crash hit that
state and there was no more credit
at rural points, Mr.. Garwood, who
was secretary of the State of Ar
kansas Agricultural Credit board,
originated local loan associations
THAT could guarantee the farmers
credit because of their acqaintance
with him, his needs and his proper
ty, and ultimately there were 67
of these associations put into oper-
alton. They solved much of the
farmers need for credit and point
ed out how, through cooperation,
the farmers could help themselves
to get credit.
The Production Credit division of
the Farm Credit Administration in
Washington is built along these
lines, and is to become perma-
nent part of the credit machinery
of the country, ultimately owned
and controlled by the farmer-bor-
rowers themselves.

Hog Price SO Per
Cent Below 1909
Gap Between Current and Pre-WaI
Prices Widens Despite Govern
ments Aim At Parity

with the average hog price
standing at nearly so per cent be-
low 19O9-1914 price levels, and cat
tie averaging 26 per cent less, it is
apparent that the governments aim
to bring about pre-war parity is not
bieng reached very speedily" says
the weekly livestock bulletin issued
by the Central Cooperative Asso-
citation of South st. Paul, MINI.
Paradoxical as it might seem,
while Governmental efforts are be-
ing expended in big way to reach
this parity, hogs and cattle have
been drifting farther away.
On July Is this year the average
hog of the nation was worth $3.98
per cwt., or As per cent under the
19O9-1914 average at $7.24 per cwt.
During the month of September this
year, the average price was nearly
SO per cent below the correspond
ing pre-war level.
Last July cattle for the nation
averaged 1897 or "a per cent below
pre-war levels, and in September
it was 26 per cent below that fig
ure.
Fat lamb prices alone took a more
encouraging trend. In July the av-
erage lamb in the United States
at $5.24 per cwt, was II per cent
less than the average July lamb for
the period 1909-1914, and in Septem-
hay tho Gan had narrowed until
lambs were only 5 per cent below
prewar levels.
The 1882 hog market will be re.
membered as one of the worst in
the history of the nation. 1t was
the lowest, on the average, for any
year since 1898. Thus far, 1888 has
been but little better. During the
first nine months, the average price
for hogs was only SC per cwt. better
than the corresponding nine months
last year.

President Roosevelt Asks fol-
Revenue in Keeping With
Commodity Costs
COST OF LIVING HIGHER
Situation of Agriculturist Is
Alarming-Eforts for Re-
lief to Be Made

Washington, Oct. 18-The White
House still felt, it was said today,
that the prices the farmer is re-
ceiving for commodities is too low
despite the index figure which
shows a gradual gain over last
year.
The administrations interpreting
economist has reported to the Pres
ident that prices of products which
the farmer sells showed from
March to September of this year a
80 per cent gain over the same per-
iod last year. AT the same time
prices of products the farmer buys
increased II per cent in that same
period.
On manufacturing, the Septem-
Der, 1888. figures given the Presi-
dent showed a recovery of two
fifths of the decline from 1929 and
that income of factory workers
had recovered one-quarter.
The cost of living, however, in
September had risen 8 per cent
since March of this year.
The White House indicated that
every effort would be made by the
administration to advance the
prices of commodities in line with
the program of recovery, experts
insisting that wheat was altogether
too low and also hogs and corn.
At the same time a report on the
cost of wholesale commodity prices
made by the labor department
showed an increase of almost 2 per
cent in September, bringing the
increase over a year ago to nearly
S1a per cent.
According to the department, q
study of 784 commodities on price
series, based on 1925 as 100, rose
from 69.5 for August to 70.8 for
September. It was the first time
since November 1881 that the Sep
TENDER increases were above 70.
The largest price advance was
shown by the fuel and lighting
group which increased almost tx
per cent over the previous month,
coal, coke and petroleum products
IlSluS WullC CiSSSAiSiIy oliu Sdo NC

Textile products rose per cent.

istered slight gains.
Wholesale prices Of farm pro
ducts, which advanced rapidly for
six months. showed reaction in
September dropping 1 per cent as
compared with August although 16
per cent above the corresponding
month last year.
Drops were registered in corn,
wheat, cattle, lambs, cotton, or
anges, hop and potatoes. Barley,
oats, rye, calves, hogs, eggs, lemons,
hay, tobacco, and wool showed in
creases.

Straw Too Useful
This Fall to Burn
Unusually Valuable AS Feed for
Live Stock Because of Hay
and Grain Shortage

Straw must be relied on in Min
nesota this winter more than usual
as a feed for livestock, because of
the shortage of both feed grains
and tame hay, says A. G. Army,
agronomists at University Farm, st.
Paul. For the current year, oats
and barley are estimated at one
half usual yields, tame hay at 56
per cent of average, and wild hay
half a million tons lower than last
year. Pasture shortage has made
supplementary feeding necessary
during the late summer and has re-
duced further the feed supply avail
able until grazing is satisfactory
next spring. Straw, therefore,
should not be burned, save for ex-
ceptional reasons.
Even when feed is plentiful on
farms some use can be made OF
bright oat, barley and fax straw in
the feeding operations, keeping in
mind always that straw is low In
protein content. Cows producing
milk and rapidly growing young
stock can utilize only limited
amounts of straw to advantage,
They should be allowed to pick the
best out of the straw, and what is
left should be used as bedding. Ma
ture animals not producing milk
or not at hard work can utilize to
advantage considerable straw as
roughage supplemented by small
amounts of grain. Flax straw is
somewhat higher in protein con-
tent than other straws. Careful
trials show that it can be fed with
out danger of any bad effects. 1t
is best to feed straw in the same
manner as hay rather than to give
the animals the run Of the piles.
Beside use as a feed, all straws
have value as bedding for livestock
and as absorbents of the liquid part
of manures. Straw plowed under
adds fertilizing constituents and
aids in maintaining the organic con-
tent of the soil and favorable phys
ical condition.
Straw piles usually contain some
weed seeds but only in very excep-
tional cases should it be necessary
to burn them on this account for
the reason that much Of the weed
seed usually drops to the ground
before the grain is harvested.
Where seeds Of noxious weeds are
known to be in manure, it Is ad-
visavle to haul it direct to the
field. Composing this manure for
g or months will usually make
week seeds non-visable.
