NEW HOMES FOR OLD
Editor Tribune:

1t would seem as though every ef.
fort made by the government so far
Is to keep the farmer on the farm
which he is on at the present time
Millions Of dollars are being loaned
for this very purpose, and the result
Is that a lot of farmers can never
hope to pay out, no matter how fav-
orable the terms may be, for the
simple reason that many farms In
North Dakota, as well as many other
states. are practically worthless when
II comes to raising crops. even in the
best Of years.
Right here In our county, We have
many farms whose acreages have
either lost their fertility by poor crop
ping methods. or else never had any
fertility to begin with. We know
farmers right in our midst who are
trying year after year to raise crops
on land which Is practically nothing
but sand. We know others whose
crops are either total loss or nearly
so on account Of alkali In the soil
destroying them.
Why Is 1t that the government Is
so anxious to save these farms for
their owners? Many of these farm
crs have and will apply for loans from
the government. No doubt many OF
them will be approved. The result
will be shat soon the government will
own this worthless land-at q good
price and the discouraged and bank
rupt farm family will be worse off
than ever.
Every day we see in the papers how
large sums are being loaned by the
government to farmers, and we can
not help asking ourselves: How soon
will much OF this land revert to the
government. and be off the tax list?"
No matter how capable and good a
farmer may be. 40 matter how indus
trious and economical his family, II
he has poor and worthless soil to
work with he cannot succeed.
Now, there are millions Of acres OF
good farm lands owned by the state.
schools and private owners anxious
to sell. Instead Of continuing loaning
on worthless farm land, why IS not
the farm family on such places en-
couraged to buy one Of the good
farms and help given them to do so7
Where a farmer has a small equity
in = worthless farm. some arrange
ment could be made for continuing
it. It might easily be done by the
government agreeing to take the poor
land In on some Of It's proposed
abandoned acreage problems Then
instead Of being q liability, as 80
many are, the farm family would be
decided asset to the community.
The government is making extensive
soil surveys on each farm on which
q government loan application has
been filed. Whenever 1t finds the
land unsuitable for crop production.
no money should be loaned on this
farm II it means the continuation OF
poor and poorer crops and the final
restitution Of the producer.
Instead Of saving the old home

Praises Woodring

Washington. May 7.-tR,-A sub
committee Of house Investigators re.
ported unanimously Monday tina
Major General Benjamin D. Foulois
chief OF the army air corps, acted "ir
clear violation Of existing law" In the
proposed purchase Of airplanes costing
s7.5O0, 900.
Coupled with the criticism Of
Toulois was commentator Of Harry
II. Woodring, assistant secretary Of
war.
No recommendation was made In
this first formal report on the COM
n,ittee's probe into war department
expenditures since 1926. Future rec
concentrations were promised. how

The eight members who agreed to
tell the house that Foulois had vio-
lated the law were Chairman Rogers

n.ittee and Representatives Jill CDem.
Ala, Harter (Dem. Ohio, James

Plumley (Rep VT. and Kvale (FL-
Mimi.
The report recalled that late IN
1888, the PWA set aside $7.5OO,OOO for
the purchase OF army airplanes. It
asserted that Foulois had decided to
buy the planes. without competition,
from the Northrup corporation. the
Boeing Airplane company and the
Glenn 1. Martin company.
On Woodring's insistence. the plan
for direct purchases was dropped and
specifications drawn on which COM
petitive bids were asked Pointing to
these specifications. the committee
said:
I'VE desire again to emphasize the
fact that Assistant Secretary Woodring
insisted on full competition in this
matter, but the actions Of the chief
G! the air corps resulted In violation
OF the law SO that the Judge advo-
cate general Of the army, in a men,
orandum to the assistant secretary OF
war dated March S, 1884. held that in
his opinion the invitations for the
bids under consideration did not

ton was that bidders could not de-
termine how much weight would be
given to price. speed. or any other
factors in the selection.
The report was submitted directly

BY the full committee.

Here's Why:

Harsh laxatives often drain the
system, weaken the bowel muscles,
and in some cases even affect the
liver and kidneys.
A doctor will tell you that the
unwise use Of harsh laxatives often
does more harm than good.
Fortunately. the public is fast
returning to the use Of laxatives in
liquid form.
A properly prepared liquid laxa-
tive brings a perfect movement.
There is no discomfort at the time
and no weakness after. You don't
have to take "a double dose" a day
or two later.
In buying any laxative, always
read the label. Not the claims, but
the contents. If it contains doubtful
drugs, don't take it.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
prescriptional preparation in which
there are no mineral drugs. Its in

Today's Safe
Driving Hint
By the National Safety Council
WHAT'S YOUR HURRY

Honestly now, what's your hurry
Is it q desire TO show Oft? Then
you should be In the circus.
Is it a desire to save q few min.
utes? II so. you are poor gambler,
for you risk . life against the sav.
ing Of those few minutes.
Excessive speed isn't fair. It isn't
fair to yourself or your family. II
isn't fair to other drivers who have
as much right on the highway - you
have. It isn't fair to pedestrians who
depend upon you to use good judy
ment.
Think Of these things when you feel
that desire to step on the gas CROP
ping up. There is little to be gained
by speeding, and much to lose.

for the farmer, II it is q worthless
worn-out proposition, the slogan
should be: New homes for old"
| Rather clean cut OF the surgeons
knife than prolonged agony. True
| 1t is the old home holds many ties
on our heartstrings, but when we look
back on the past and see how dad
and mother had to toll day In and
day out, when W. remember the Bit
ter heartbreaking struggle to make
lends meet from produce raised on
sandy, alkali and rocky areas, and
then, when we look over at the fellow
who started In the same time dad
did, but whose farm lands were fer
tile, and who today Is able to enjoy
the best life has to offer, while our
parents have to depend on others for
charity, the picture Of the old home
looks whole lot different. So we
believe now Is the time to begin to
do something to get the farmer Oft
the worthless farm and on to farm
where he can make enough to meet
his obligations.
We are hearing lot about the
FRAZER farm Dill these days. Some
seem to think that because the gov
eminent Is loaning money to farmers
and thus changing creditors, 1t is
enough. But, now as never before
farmers must be able to borrow money
at rate Of interest they can pay.
The rate the government is asking is
hut little less than farmers have been
paying private creditors.
The terms are little II any better.
On the other hand, should the
Frazier farm bill pass and be enacted
into law, the farmers would see some
method Of paying out. Unless we
want to see practically every other
farm In the country owned by the
government and half the rest owned
b. banks and insurance companies,
bill like the Frazier farm bill is an
absolute necessity.
And even with this bill. the man
en- poor, worthless soil will fare badly.
Therefore We say: New homes for
old.
