Valuable Information
To Wheat GrOperS
Questions and Answers Prepared
for Growers By County Agent
E. C.. Lenzmeier

A series of questions and answers
on the wheat allotment plan have
been prepared by E. o. Lenzmeier,
county agent in charge of the wheat
program in Stearns county. A few
of these questions are printed here.
Other questions in the hands of
growers may be referred to the
county agents office, st. Cloud.
Question: If I sign a wheat adj
justment contract, on how many
bushels will I receive adjustment
payments?
Answer: Take 81 per cent of your
average bushel production for 1890,
81 and 80. If your average crop
was 1000 bushels, your allotment
will be $40 bushels.
Question: When will farmers get
the cash payments?
Answer: For this years crop, you
will get payment of 20 cents a bu-
shell on your allotment this fall,
the remainder next spring, after
your share of the county costs of
administration have been taken out.
Question: Will the wheat plan
interfere with the selling or use of
my wheat. ~.
Answer: Not at all. You can sell
or use your wheat when, where and
how you like. You do not even have
to report what you do with it.
Question: If farmer does not
sign up for the wheat plan this
year, can he come in later?
Answer: He cannot. This is a
three-year plan, and a farmer must
sign UP now or wait until after the
1885 crop year.
Question: If my wheat crop fail
ed this year so that I harvested no
wheat, am I eligible to enter the
wheat plan and receive adjustment
ANSWER: Yes, If you seeded wheat
this year and it was destroyed by
natural forces, your allotment is
based on the crops for 1880, 81
and'32.

Pig Spectators
Can't Get Permit
Secretary of Agriculture Puts Ban
On Those Taking Advantage
of Farmers Plight

Spectators in little pigs can no
longer market pigs under the Agri-
cultural Adjustment Administra-
TONS hog emergency program.
Word to that effect has gone
forth over the country from the
administration at Washington.
Spectators have been purchasing
pigs from farmers at low prices
and then cashing in on the higher
prices offered by the government.
They have, in some cases it seems,
obtained permits for large ship
|ments which they had not even pur-
chased. That kind of thing helped
to glut the market and to interfere
with the proper execution of the
emergency program.
AS a result, the administration at
Washington issued orders last Sat
urday, that beginning Tuesday
morning, Sept. 5, absolutely no pigs
would be received at authorized pro-
cessing points for the account Of
Secretary Henry A. Wallace unless
accompanied by a permit authoriz-
ing the shipment; and that from
the date of the order, Saturday,
Sept. 2, no permits would be given
to any but original owners Of pigs
and that no one owner would be
given a permit to ship more than
ZOO head.
To handle the permit business at
the South st Paul market, a pig
permit committee was formed with
officers in the Exchange Building,
South st. Paul, H. G. Zavoral, live
stock specialist Of the Extension
Service, University Farm, st. Paul,
a member of this committee, has
lust issued a letter to county agents
and others saying that permits for
more than $4,000 pigs day for the
South st. Paul market will not be
issued, and that no pigs suffering
from diseases such as NEGRO, scurvy,
arthritis, and so on, and no pigs
under Is pounds will be accepted.
Mr.. Zavoral says further that
there is time enough between now
and October 1, or until the quota
of 4 million pigs is received, to
make shipments, and that farmers
will save money by holding their
pigs until they get permits. Other
wise they will have to pay yardage,
feed, and other charges at the pro-
cessing points.
No permits are needed to shipprop-
erly qualified sows. The minimum
weight of such sows has now been
reduced from 275 to 24O pounds.

Fatal Auto
Accident On
SaturdayE
Leo Russell Mcintyre, IL, Died
From Injuries Early Mon
day Morning
3 COMPANIONS ESCAPE.
Right Hand Front Tire Blows
Out-Traveling at High
Rate of Speed

Three young people had mirac-
ulous escape from instant death,
and a young man received injuries
from which he died 80 hours later,
when the right front tire on a
Whippet coach blew out and land
ed the auto in a ditch on Highway
No. %, Saturday evening about
1925. "
The facts as the Herald has been
able to gather them are about as
follows. A group of young people
were enjoying a oance at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. M, G. Mcintyre,
residing on the Sam Ingram farm
four and a half miles southwest of
the city.
About 1890 Leo Russell McIn-
tyre, a son of the family, accom-
panied by Miss Edna Eagan, riding
with him in the front seat of the
coach, and Allen Winkler and Miss
Harriet Copely in the rear seat,
started for Sank Centre for ciga-
rettes.
They were about a mile from the
home when the tire blew out and
forced the coach into the ditch.
They were travelling at a high rate
of speed. Leo succeeded in getting
the car out of the ditch after it had
hit and broken a telephone pole and
the end of a culvert. When it had
reached about the center of the
highway it turned over on it's left
side, completely caving in and
shattering the top. Young Winkler
was in the seat directly behind the
driver. The top at the rear OF the
drivers side of the car was
driven to the level of the top OF
the seat. The tipping of the car
threw Leo out out and when it
came to a standstill the body OF
the coach was resting on him. The
other occupants of the coach got
out somehow. Just how none OF
them are quite clear. There was
no other car near when the accl-
dent occurred. A car passed head
ing toward Sank Centre within
minute or two, but the driver re-
fused to stop.
Leo Traeger came along shortly.
He helped to extricate young NC
Intyre, and noting that he was bad
Nv injured hurried him to the Long
hospital in this city. The diagnosis
disclosed that his condition was
very critical. The pelvic bone was
broken, several ribs fractured and
internal injuries developed rapidly.
He was conscious or sub-conclous
until about two hours prior to his
death Monday morning at 2:l5.
Miss Eagan received a paln1ui
cut in her forehead which required
several stitches. She received slight
cuts and bruises. Miss Cokeley was
only slightly bruised. Allen Wink
ler's right hand and arm was cut
and bruised; his back was badly
wrenched and bruised.
The car, a 1881 Whippet coach,
was wrecked. The deceased young
man owned the car it is under
stood.
Leo Russell Mcintyre was the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. M. c. Mcdn-
tyre. He was born at Eldora,
Iowa, March Is, 1915. His family
lived near Olivia, Mimi, for several
wears, coming to Sank Centre a
year ago when they took possession
of the Ingram farm. Leo was en-
ployed by J. R. veeder, residing
near Westport.
The funeral was held from the
home Wednesday morning at 1000
and at the M. E. church in this

line with the majority opinion of
the state. However, this city was
only slightly moist as compared to
the dripping wet sentiment Of 9TH

There were 617 votes cast in the
city, 1919 in the First Ward, and
41S in the Second. Sank Centre

self in the dry column by a sub
stantial majority.
Incomplete returns covering every
section of the state, with only a
few hundred precincts missing
gave every indication that the re-
peal opinion would prevail in the
state by a majority approximating
ESQ, 900.
Maine, long the bulwark Of the
dry sentiment of the country
swung into the wet column Monday
by two to one vote. Two other
states voted Tuesday with Mime
sofa. Both are decidedly wet. To
date 20 states have voted and 20
have gone on record as for the
repeal Of the prohibition amend
ment.
Kandiyohi piled up the largest
dry majority. A complete revision
Of the states vote will show at least
IT of the 81 counties are against
the repeal. They a-.. Dodge, Fill
more, Freeborn and Martin in the
south section; Kandiyohi, Lac Qui
Parle, Yellow Medicine, Meeker,
Chippewa and Cottonwood coun-
ties in the central west; Ottertai,,
Clay, Clearwater, Isanti Kittson,
Pennington and Roseau counties in
the north portion of the state.
With incomplete returns the fol-
lowing counties were in the dry col
umn: Douglas, Grant, Marshall,
Mile Laos, Norman, Pope, Red
wood, Sherburne ana Swift coun-
ties.
The city Of Minneapolis gave the
|repealists a majority Of more than
$4,000; st. Paul and Ramsey coun-
ty voted 4 to to reapel; the ratio
in Duluth and st. Louis county was
three to one.
While Tuesdays vote shows the
trend in this state in no uncertain
terms, there is considerable dis
lance to travel before Minnesota
can dispense hard liquor even af-
ter sufficient states have voted wet
to repeal the amendment.
Twenty-one wei delegates were
elecetd Tuesday to meet in conven-
ton and solemly cast the states
vote as in favor Of repeating the
mendment.
There are some stringent dry
laws remaining on the statute
books of the state. This will take
Legislative action to eliminate. Gov.
Olson has indicated that he will call
a special session, probably early in
December, to clarity the situation.
He will at once appoint cong
mission to draft the necessary re-
medal legislation for the control
of the traffic in hard liquor.

$4,000 Daily Is
Provided Farmers
st. Paul Institution Approves Mort
gage Loans for $2,167, 900
In August

st. Paul, Sept. 12-Loans were ap-
proved by the Federal Land Bank
of st. Paul at the rate of over $780,
600 day during the month of Aug
ust. Estimating the closing days of
the month on the average shown by
reports available, the bank approved
loans for a total Of $2,167 900 in the
4 states of this district, North Da-
kota, Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Michigan.
This is an increase over each Of
the two preceding months Of 245
per cent in loans allowed. Not all
these loans have been closed" be-
cause there remain certain details
to be finished, such as examination
of the abstracts and filing Of other
papers. In many cases farmers who
have been notified that their apph-
cations have been allowed apparent
ly then "rest on their oars" and are
slow in returning the abstracts and
the other executed papers. It is be-
lieved that their assurance that the
funds will be forthcoming relieves
them Of worry and that they are let
ting threshing, the movement of
livestock to market, and other mat
tiers keep them from doing their
part by sending in promptly the
papers that must be received and
recorded before the loans can be
marked CLOSED" and the money be
turned over to them.
'Tt would be help to this bank
IL farmers would realize the large
part that their own promptness
plays in making their loans avail
able" said President F. II. Kla-
won, commenting on the fact that
only portion Of the approved loans
have been closed. "At best the maxi
ing Of loans can not be hurried to
such an extent that security Is in
adequate, or that loans are made
to unworthy persons. When all the
many factors that go into the max
ing Of sound loans have been con-
sidered, the applications have been
approved, and 1t only remains for
us to get back the abstracts or 9TH
Ter executed papers, 1t is disappoint-
ing to find so many applicants dila-
tory. I wish we could impress on
them the need for their own coop
Grafton in putting funds into their
hands"
Mr.. Klawon said that for the
month of August the loans closed
|totaled over 1897, 900, estimating the
last two or three days at the aver
age for the rest Of the month. For
the last three months the total Is
$920, 700 approximately, aside from
loans from the Land Bank Commits
sioner's fund, which are not in
Guided in the estimates. For the
year up to date, the total volume
OF loans closed is approximately ST.
