FARMERS WHO CAN PAY

We recently ran across a North Caro-
lima doctors diagnosis of the farmers
financial troubles which is worth while
passing along. This was general prac~
titioner in an average small town who car
ried the accounts of many farm families
on his books, usually making collections
yearly when crops were marketed, as is
the custom with many.
On January / he checked up his de-
linquent accounts and found that in near
ly every case those who had failed to pay
were one-crop farmers who made no at
tempt to raise a variety of products. Then
he looked over his paid-up list, which dis
closed conditions somewhat like this:
One had flock of pure-bred chick
ems, another flock of sheep, third had
brood Sows, others had dairy cows, or
chards, vegetables, hay and other food and
stock feed or had been able to market
poultry and dairy products, had also been
able to pay their doctors bill. And by
the same token had been able to pay other
bills, without doubt.
Spring will soon be here. The de-
cisions the farmer makes regarding what
he will raise next season will materially af-
feet his condition next fall. Will he profit
by the experience of those who have sue
ceeded through diversification, or will he
stick to the old poverty breeding one-crop
plan?
The doctor and other creditors will be
interested in this question. The farmer
should take an interest in it himself.

phasis in CWA work in rural sec
tons Of Minnesota Is being chang
ed this week from employment to
a type Of modified relief in the form

result Of orders received from
Washington.
The state committee asserts that
in extending civil works projects to
the drought area in Minnesota. it
has endeavored to approve projects
applicable to this policy in order
to permit employment for farmers
who are in need Of aid during the
winter months.
This policy will make it possible

have received 500 or more in wages
