LOCAL SHORT TERM
CREDIT BODY IS NOW
READY FOR BUSINESS

Applications for shOrt-term farm
loans are now being taken by the Pine
City Production Credit Association, it
was announced this week by A. 5.
Dean, secretary of the association.
This association takes in the coun-
ties of Pine, Kanabec, Isanti and Chi
sago and has its headquarters at Pine
City, where offices have been estab-
lished.
The board of directors, all borrow
ers or eligible borrowers of the asso-
citation residing in this territory, COM
prise the following: Clair H. Shuey
of Pine City; D. J. Mckay, of Rush
City; H. r. Berg of Rush City; V. e.
Ericsson of Stanchfield; and w. H.
Westhoff of Ogilvie.
Loans will be made to eligible farm
ers with adequate security at an in
terest rate of per cent plus reason
able inspection fee. To obtain a loan,
farmers should submit their appEca-
tions to the secretary at once, Mr..
Dean said. He has application forms
and additional forms will be available
at a number of other points in this
district.
These associations are not emer-
gency loaning agencies" said Mr..
Dean. "Only sound loans will be ac-
cepted in this new set-up. Farmers
having loans from the Regional Agri-
cultural Credit Corporation in Mime
apolis should contact these associa-
tions in an effort to repay their
regional loans.
"And another thing" he added.
Sin order for farmers to be eligible to
borrow from these new production
credit associations, they must be able
to produce evidence that they are CO.
operating with the agricultural Ad-
iustment Administration. 1t is not the
intention of these associations 70
make loans to farmers for the purpose
OF increasing production, and thus de-
feating the purposes of production
control being pursued by the depart
ment of agriculture"
Mr. Dean also pointed out that
George Susens, who is president of
the Production Credit Corporation of
st. Paul, which directs the activities
of the local associations, and also
president of the Regional, urges all
farmers now in debt to the Regional
to apply at once to their local Produc-
ton Credit Association to avoid delay
in their refinancing program.

IMPORTANT ROLL
CALLS SHOW UP
THELEGISLATOR

tfOnal Bureau; Running on Record
Is to be A Reality.

1t has often been said by men run
ming fer reelection to the Legisla-
ture that they stand on their record,
but there has been a scarcity of avail
as the general public is concerned.
The Farmer-Labor Educational Bu-
reau has come to the front this year
and tabulated the record of every SEN
ator and representative in the 1888
regular session of the Minnesota Leg
viewpoint of the Farmer-LabOr party
and the issues and principles it stands
for.
Fifteen important roll calls are
provided as the basis for judging the
records of House members and eleven
roll calls that are important to the
productive workers of the state have
been selected" says the Introductory
statement of the Educational Bureau.
ain most cases the issues were Sc
lected because they were on planks
all of them are on issues that touch
on the basic principles and program
of the FL. movement"
Roll Calls Selected.
Further on in the statement the bull
letin says: Roll calls were selected TO
give the lineup at the important
point i'm the history of the bill. Some
times the vote is on final passage;
amendment. For instance the roll on
the income tax measure is on the
question of final passage"
Among the roll calls selected on
which to judge house members are:
election of speaker; statewide old age
electric power extension; consolidated
primary ballot; regulation of tele-
phone companies; killing of state
securities division, and increasing
taxes on railroads.
The following roll calls were used
senator's: power of lieutenant COVER
nor to appoint committees; repeal of
the BrOoks-Coleman street railway
act; electric power extension bill; tax
levy limitation bill; consolidated pri-
mary election ballot; old age pension;
income tax; salary cuts; child labor
constitutional amendment; bill for
prevailing wage on public works; bill
to kill state testing mill.

SHIPPING BODY
BETTER IN 1893
AskOv Group Sends Twenty Two Cars
OF Stock to the Market;
Is i'm 1882.

A large crowd attended the annual
meeting of the Askov Shipping Asso-
citation held in the d. B. S. hall Sat-
urday afternoon. A review of the
years business revealed that the as
ISOLATION had Jared better during
1888 than it did in 1892. Twenty-Five
cars of stock was shipped last year as
compared to IS the year before.
While the price received for stock
was not so good, nevertheless the
gain in shipments is an indication
that Askov stock raisers will be able
to keep their association. j. P. Mad
sen, who has given very good serv-
ice as shipper the past year was again
chosen in the same capacity for the
coming year.
A. Gravesen was reelected to the
board of directors and Elmer Jensen
was chosen in place of A. P. Jensen.
In the organization of the board MAIDS
Nielsen will again serve as president,
d. ]. AdOlphsen, vice president, Elmer
Jensen, secretary; A. Gravesen, treas
urer, and Christian Sorensen as di-
rector. Chr. Frederiksen was re-
elected as one reviser and A. P. gen-
sen was elected in place of Chris
Morgensen as the other reviser.
Central Coop. Man Speaks.
Bob More of the Central Co-Opera-
tive Association of South st. Paul
talked to the meeting. THE individ-
ual working along is more or less
helpless" said Mr.. More. Where a
group of individuals put forth their
combined efforts, they can accomplish
big things. This great grouped eff
fort, or cooperation on the part of
livestock producers, has made it pos
sible for the Central Cooperative As
ISOLATION to handle livestock at such
low cost to patrons. On last years
business, the Central paid back to
its patrons $149,006.13 in stock divi-
dends and patronage refunds. The
refund amounted to 35 per cent of
commissions collected during the year.
In regard to direct buying of live
stock by packers, the speaker said,
it was the most demOralizing factor
in the market at present. Half of
the nations hogs are going to pack
ers direct without competitive bid
ding. This means that half of the
buying power has been removed from
public markets which establish prices
for stock at country buying points.
Packers are eager to see public mar
kets kept low so that they can buy
their hogs at country points at cor
respondingly low prices.
To correct this evil, all farmers
should cooperate in refusing to sell
stock to packers except at public
markets, or national legislation should
be enacted to protect producers on
their weight, grade, sort, and fill of
hogs when sold at country buying sta
lions, said the speaker in closing.

MANY ATTEND THREE
CORN-HOG MEETINGS
Producers Were Told of Provisions OF
Production Control Program
Now Offered.

Three educational meetings were
held this week to launch the cOrn-hOg
production control program in Pine
county. The meetings were held in the
Sandstone Agricultural rooms Monday
morning, and in the Legion hall at
Hlnckley at 1870. An afternoon meet
ing was held at Pine City Tuesday.
Approximately 500 people attended
these three meetings to review the
agricultural situation, with special
reference to corn and hog production
since 1910, and to learn the provis-
ions of the contract.
Most farmers are asking if they
may reduce hog production without
reducing their corn acreage. This may
be done only if the average number
of acres planted for grain corn in the
last two years, on the, farm to be OPP
Grated in 1884 was less than ten.
Corn planted for grain includes that
husked, hogged off, shredded and cut
ripe. in Pine county where dairy
ing is the chief type of farming, most
farmers are interested in this clause.
The administrative rulings also state
that if man filled silo in the last
two years he must fill the silo again
this year to the average level for
| 1932-1933
Farmers who raised an average OF
less than four filters of pigs for
| 1932-1933, need not reduce hog pro-
duction in 1894 and still may sign
for corn reduction if they grew over
ten acres for grain. In all cases
where a producer reduces only one
of the two commodities, corn or hogs,
he will get benefit payments only
on the one reduced. He also will
/ agree not to increase his 1884 pro-
ductiOn of the commodity not being
reduced above the adjusted 1932-1933
average.
Benefit Payments.
Hog benefit payments will be made
on 1870 of the average number of
hogs raised for market from litters
narrowed in 1932-1933. On this 1870
producers will be paid So a head.
This payment will be divided into
three parts, the first payment of 50
a head being made as soon as the
contracts are accepted in Washington.
Corn benefit payments will be thirty
cents bushel on the appraised yield
of the acres rented to the government.
The appraised yield to be determined
by the producer and the county allot
ment committee elected by all sign
ers of contracts. The corn payment
will come to the producer in two
parts, the first part or Is cents per
hundred will come as soon as the
contract is received in Washington.
A corn-hog year begins Deem
Der 1 and carries through until the
next November 30. Unlike the wheat
contract, the cOrn-hog contract is for
one year.
After the series of educational
meetings are over, producers will be
given an opportunity to sign contracts.
For the convenience of producers
waiting to sign, meetings will be held

through other methods. The one with
the strongest appeal presented to date
involves reduction of herds through
elimination of tubercular cattle and
those afflicted with the widespread
Bangs Disease, also called contagious
abortion, and is recommended to the
administration both on the ground
of improvement of public health as
we'll as because of its sound econom-
les. One disturbing feature is the
difficulty of disposing of the surplus
dairy cattle without adversely affect
ing the already overcrowded beef
market.

manipulation and to buying methods.
Rep. Wearin is a scholarly and ener-
getic legislator, knows his subject
from the ground up, and is understood
to have the backing encouragement

a subject which should have had at

any Roadway he may prove to bring
to the livestock producers of the ma

ceas could possibly do.

Slides will be presented to show the

These are faith missions. They do
not directly solicit funds for the car
rying on OF the work. They go on
faith trusting the Lord to send In the
needs. It is a remarkable testimony
of their faith, that God has supplied
all the needs since they were organ
lied and during the depression when
other organizations were retrenched
and recalling workers, they sent out
more men and women. There will be
no offering and all are invited to hear
about these mission fields.

SPUD GROWERS
FORM CODE TO
HANDLE CROP
Marketing and Distribution Sup
ervision Are Aims of 0rgani-
cation Patterned After Berry
Code; Hearing Soon

Spud growers of the district are
planning the organization Of a code,
modelled closely after that recently
in effect here for the berry code. At
a series Of meetings the information Of
the code was decided upon and a COM
mittee is at work today getting sign
ers, after which the permanent organ
ization will be effected.
Like the berry code, finances for
the code operation will be raised by
affixing a small stamp on each pack
age Of spuds shipped under the code
provisions. This fund will provide
for policing the markets and for the
operation Of the code headquarters.
The stamps will be sold to the first
seller for five cents and all spuds
marketed during the code period must
have had the tax prepaid.
The executive committee viii set
the current prices from day TO day,
will control the distribution Of the
crop to prevent dumping and will con-
troll the harvesting of the crop from
time to time to prevent surplussage
on the markets. The selection Of the
committee will be made after a suf-
ficient number of signers has been
secured. Sixty-seven percent Of the
acreage and 81 percent of the licensed
growers are required for the forma-
ton of the code, after which all the
growers become controlled by the
code actions.
A trip to the Hanford, White Bluffs,
Allard, vernita and Cold Greek dis
tricts will be made Friday, May 18th
by Guy Story, member Of the COM
mittee on the proposed potato code,
and Waldo Skuse, county agent. AZ
Hanford they will be met by Norman
Anglin, horticultural inspector, who
will work with them In meeting 90
many as possible of the producers Of
early potatoes regarding q meeting
with representatives Of the office Of
the state commissioner Of agriculture
on the proposed potato code. Not only
are great many advantages claim
ed for code on potatoes, but many
disadvantages are seen If it is not
formed. As digging is expected to
start June 1st to 9Th, it is very urgent
that action on the hearing be taken IN
the very near future. Other members
of the committee are canvassing 9TH
err sections Of the county, and like
wise in Franklin county on the other
side of the Columbia river.
