FARMERS ENDORSE
CORN-HOC PROGRAM
6urIeigh County Poll Also Fav.
ors 'One-Contract' Plan for
Basic Crops

Burleigh county farmers, by an
overwhelming majority, have voted
for continuation of the federal gov
ernment's corn-hog program in 1885.
Martin Altenburg, assistant county
agent, reported Wednesday after con-
Quoting four district referendum
meetings.
At the same time the farmers ex-
pressed desire by ballot to combine
the grain and livestock adjustment
programs under q one-contract-per-
farm plan.
Despite the rather poor attendance
at the district meetings, Altenburg
said that the large majorities given
each proposal could be taken as q
correct barometer Of the general
opinion Of Burleigh county farmers.
Associated Press dispatches indicate
that similar results have been OBJ
tanned in other states.
Voting in favor of the corn-hog
adjustment and did not involve an
ers with nine voting against 1t. Asked
II they favored q one-contract-per-
farm adjustment program dealing
with grains and livestock in 1896. 1877
voted yes" and SO voted mo-.
Balloting in the corn-hog program
was on the principle Of production
adjustment and did not involve an
expression of opinion concerning any
specific program. It was pointed out
that in 1885 the benefits would prob
ably be somewhat larger for corn
and materially less for hogs than
were paid under the 1894 contract.
And also that contracted areas could
be used for hay. pasture, forage, fall
low or woodlot purposes without re-
striction.
The one contract per farm pro-
gram calls for the combination Of the
six "basic" grain crops-wheat, bar
ley, rye, corn, grain sorghuns and
flax-under one program and one
contract for 1896. Advantages Of
such q program would be in desired
control with enough flexibility to per-
nit maximum freedom to the farm
erS.

May Swap u. S. Gold
For Chinese Silver

Warrington, Oct l7.-lPEThe
United States may help China put
some gold in her silver standard.
This possibility arose Wednesday
when It became known that the
Roosevelt administration Is looking
into the wisdom Of swapping some
American gold for Chinese silver.
More notes between the two nations
were made public. They antedated q
recent exchange in which the state
department told China that America
could not abandon the objective Of
its silver buying policy because that
goal-25 per cent silver in the cur
rency reserves-was set by congress.
As q result China, contending the
silver-buying threatened to drain
away her metal and damage her
trade. put 10 per cent tax on silver
exports.

NO RADICAL SHIFTS

Relief Administrator Tells Bis
marck Man Of Plans for
Settlements

Washington, Oct. II. - (P - The
government Is moving with caution in
its plans for providing a more album
dant life for its drouth-stricken peo-
pie.
A North DaEotan. here for a first
hand picture Of rehabilitation plans,
said Wednesday the program did not
contemplate radical shifts of popula-
ton from one state to another nor
was there any disposition to move
families to soil and climatic conditions
foreign to them.
N. A. Mason Of Bismarck, former
secretary OF Senator Frazier Rep., N
d., said the federal relief administra-
tor in charge of rural rehabilitation
told him the government was steering
shy of invitations to move families to
other states.
Certain groups within some south
ern states have called the attention of
Official Washington to the advantages
Of soil, climate and available space in
their states, Mason said. but added
that to date no state rehabilitation
director has indicated officially a de-
sire to invite settlers from other states.
This situation doubtless prevails
because every state. however much
favored by climatic conditions and
land resources, has its own unsolved
problems Of rehabilitation" Mason
said.
All Of the preliminary work in form
ing a settlement project is left to the
state relief offices, Mason said. but
their decisions are subject to approval
Of the FERA.
Projects must include at least 200
families with special consideration to
personnel, types, ages, desirability and
adaptability, Mason said. Every ideal
group should include such artisans as
carpenters. blacksmiths, painters, ma
chinists, thresher and tractor opera
tors. but principally farmers and
Stockmen.
Lands are selected with q view to
displacing as few persons as possible
and they must be satisfactory as to
topography, soil. water, timber, and
health conditions, he said.

plains County Set Ups
for Distribution

Fargo. N. D., Oct. 17.-(P)eWhile
Uncle Sam has bought $4,000, 900
bushels Of grain. spring wheat, durum,
oats. barley and flax which he IS
holding for distribution to farmers In
drouth areas Of the central west who
will need seed next spring, there con-
tinues to be q serious seed shortage
problem yet to be solved In the opin-
Ion Of z. M. dillig, North Dakota seed
commissioner and chairman Of the
state seed stock committee.
Mr.. Gillig, H. o. Putnam, who has
charge Of the seed stocks program in
North Dakota and T. E. Stoa, chair
man Of the N. D. A. G. agronomy de-
partment, have returned from con-
ference at Minneapolis where the
whole regional problem was dis
cussed.
Special Plan Necessary
Special arrangements for getting
seed to farmers who did not produce
sufficient to plant crops next spring
will be necessary in seven states, the
two Dakotas, Minnesota, Montana,
Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska.
Farmers should understand that
this seed which has been bought by
the government is not going to be
given away" said Mr.. 0illig.
1.-THE corporation which bought the
grain must be compensated. We are
informed that within tow days the
AAA will place price on this seed
and farmers will then know just what
it will cost Them
Mr.. Putnam explains that county
organizations will be set up. These
probably will be based on the emery
ency cattle buying committee organ
zation. Present plans are for the
chairmen Of these cattle buying COM
mittees to act as chairmen Of new
groups which will be called coun-
ty drouth relief committees.
Orders for grain will be taken
through these committees and those
who have cash or credit may then
sign q contract for delivery Of the
grain some time before seeding sea-
son.
Orders for seed will be cleared
through the offices Of county agricul-
tural agents.
Set-Up Still Tentative
Where the farmer does not have
cash or credit some arrangement
probably will be made by the federal
government for financing the pur-
chase, IN the opinion Of Mr.. Gillig,
although nothing definite has been
completed in regard to financing
those who must have that kind OF
help In order to get seed.
The acute problem with respect to
seed supplies, yet to be solved, is with
respect to oats, corn and flax.
The North Dakota representatives
at the conference suggested that this
state be allowed to arrange its own
corn program. Mr.. Gillig explained
that the regular seed trade Is now
using its best efforts to lay in as
much good North Dakota grown corn
as possible.
Because Of North Dakota climatic
conditions, corn shipped from other
states does not produce well here.
It Is expected that all the seed corn
produced In the state that Is fit to
plant will be saved for the planting
season.
Mr.. Putnam announces that any,
one having good seed grain for sale
should submit Z sample to the federal
seed stocks committee, 500 Flour Elk

and amount for sale,
