district already totaled 495, ex- |
ceeding those of any other district

Sheridan county led the entire
list OF counties In the state with
1Ol applicants; Roosevelt was sec
ond in the state with 1876, and
in Daniels county 80 applications
mad been filed. Only four other
counties In the state reached the
hundred mark; Valley had 167,
Hill las, Choteau 189, and Teton
102.

fhe amounts represented il appli-
will average at least So
100. Should half of the 400 APP
ollcations which will probably be
Ultimately filed in Sheridan coun-
y be approved, 1t would mean a

for the farmers of this coun-
y. When 1t is considered that all
taxes on lands where such
oans are approved must be paid.

Indebtedness to various cred

basis. 1t Is easy to deter
nine how far reaching will be the

ire county in general.
