H. G.. BORGMANN, CHAIR
Secretary of Agriculture Wal
lace Makes Statement
Pig Situation

On Monday evening about sixty
farmers from Getty and Sank Cen.
ire townships attended the unit
wheat allotment meeting held al
the Community Club rooms in this
city. This session was held under
the direction of County Agent Lenz-
meier, and was called for the pur-
pose of signing the wheat growers
for this new plan and to elect
township unit officers.
During the day and also during
the meeting twenty-seven farmers
signed up and to these were grant
ed the privilege of eIecting the of.
fcers for the unit which they form.
ed. It was hoped that many more
would sign before the week Wa:
over.
II. G. Borgmann was elected
chairman of the newly organized
unit; John Ceyner was elected as
director from Getty township and
Charles Kortan was selected to rep
resent Sank Centre township.
A number of farmers from other
townships attended and some OF
these made out applications. All
wheat allotment applications must
be in by September 18th according
to the present outlook. This time
may be extended, but it would be
best to have all application in by
that time. Owing to the fact that
the applications are rather compli.
Gated, Mr.. Lenzmeier was unable to
fill out applications for all those de-
string them, and accordingly left
blanks with C. v. Morse for the
convenience of those who had not
filled out applications. The origin
al application cards sent out by
Mr.. Lenzmeier is not sufficient and
must be replaced by the new ap-
plications. Any farmers who have
not handed in the new applications
can procure the same in Mr.. Morse's
office. Applications will be filled
out for any farmers OF this general
community which includes parts of
Todd and Pope counties as well as
Stearns county.
State aid for those farmers in
dire need of feed is already avail
able upon application. County
Agent Lenzmeier has supplied M.
Morse with application blanks.
There is no county agents in either
Todd or Pope counties and the Com
munity Club is fortunate in being
able to arrange so that applications
can be received not only from dis
tressed farmers in this part OF
Stearns county but applications can
also be taken from those farmers
living in Todd and Pope counties
who frequently come to Sank Cen
tire.
The Emergency Agricultural COM
mittee of the Community Club is
working with a view OF obtaining
both State and Federal aid in
sufficient amounts to prevent the
cutting down of dairy and other
herds to an extent which might
jeopardize the farming interests OF
this community.
During the course OF his remarks
County Agent Lenzmeier stressed
warning to farmers, who contem-
plated shipping thier hogs under
the premium plan offered by the
government. This plan went into
effect last week Wednesday and the
Commission houses at South St
Paul were swamped. He stated
that farmers wishing to ship should
first get in touch with their com.
mission men, for if their hogs could
not be accepted it might cost them
more for storage and feed than the
premium would amount to. This
plan will be open until about Oct
LIST, of this year. ;,
He also stated that the wheat al
lotment plan was based on the 1880
1881 and 1882 crops and tobacco al
lotments would be based only on the
1881 and 1892 crops, and that the
reduction would be fifteen per cent
of the average yield for the ayear
period.
