Farmers Urged to
Convert Loans Now

Redwood county farmers holding
government corn loans who have not
yet converted these loans to the 3D.
cent-per bushel basis should do so at
once, or be prepared to repay them
either in cash or by delivering their
pledged corn.
Although these loans will not be
due until they are officially called by
the Commodity Credit corporation,
that agency will probably demand
settlement soon Of all loans. not con-
verted to the 1934-35 basis, Mr..
Bovee says. The machinery for con-
verting these loans is now working
and he urges borrowers to use it as
soon as possible.
A recent administrative ruling
makes it possible for the borrower to
pay his old loan with the proceeds of
the new one, providing he deals di-
rectly with the Commodity Credit
corporation.
Farmers planning to apply for
loans on new corn are urged to store
this corn in floored cribs if possible
By so doing, Mr.. Bovee points out,
they can avoid q deduction of the
bottom 18 inches from the volume of
corn in their cribs. The Inspector is
required to make such deduction if
the crib is foorless or If it contains
q floor less than six inches above
ground level.

Katherine Praxel. Drives in several
villages which do not fall in these
districts will be handled by their
local chapters while the roll call in
rural sections generally will be con-
Quoted through Farmers clubs.
The drive will start next week and

Farm Bureau Drive
For Members Planned

The neighborliness of Redwood
county farmers will be tested next
month when the annual membership
drive of the Farm Bureau gets under
way, says A. w. Park, president OF
the Redwood County Farm Bureau.
The Farm Bureau is a neighborly en-
terprise, wherein farmers OF the
counties and states of the United
States "change work" in doing a job
that has to be done. The cotton farm
er, through the Farm Bureau, helps
the wheat farmer, and the citrus
grower helps the hog man, in an or
ganization as cooperative and as
necessary as a little local threshlng
"ring," says Mr.. Park.
The 1884 membership drive and
roll call, which starts the week Of
December 8, will be conducted entire
ly by local men, Mr.. Park says. ].
w. Hubin of Redwood Falls has been
appointed county campaign manager
and he is lining up teams of volun-
teer solicitors, who will call on all
farmers on their routes. The volun-
teers will be called together prior to
the opening of the drive, for an in
terchange of ideas as to the most
practical way of conducting the cam
paign. Notices have already been
prepared inviting the volunteer COM
mittees to attend the county meeting,
which will be held Monday, Novem-
ber 10, at Wabasso.
The Minnesota Farm Bureau made
} a remarkable growth during 1884 and
it is the aim of the membership to
increase the roll for 1886, If possible.
Redwood county had membership
Of 422 in 1884 and would like to
make it 600 for 1895.

COUNTY OFFICIALS
OPPOSE CHANGE IN
HIGHWAY SYSTEM
Proposal to Put Township and
County Roads Under State
Department Unpopular

OAoALullIS tIlat IL WOu1U CSutIdllZc
too much power in the hands of a
few and endanger local government,
unanimous disapproval of proposal
to incorporate township and county
roads in the state highway system
was given by 400 county and town
ship officials from throughout south
ern Minnesota at hearing Friday in
the armory.
The hearing, conducted by the Cit
izens Interim Highway committee
which was authorized by the 1888
session of the legislature following
agitation for consolidation of all
local roads under the state highway
department, was scheduled to have
been held in the court house but when
the audience overfowed the court
room, the meeting was adjourned to
the armory.
Fred Schilplin of st. Cloud, chair
man of the committee, presided and
explained that the committee is mere
ly fact finding body seeking to as
certain the sentiment. toward the pro-
posal and make recommendations ac-
cordingly.
Mr.. Schilplin stated that. some
change should be made in lifting the
burden of the cost of the maintain
ence and construction of roads from
the real estate tax payers, especially
that of the farms and transferring it
to the users of the highways. Thirty
five percent of the real estate taxes.
he said, go to the road and bridge
fund.

counties were called upon to give the
viewpoint of their respective govern
ing boards and each condemned the
proposed consolidation, the audience
cheering vociferously. Several resol-
utions adopted by county and town.
ship boards were read and given to
the interim committee for reference.
Comments of some of the speakers
were:
II. ]. Claim, Swedes Prairie town
clerk, Yellow Medicine county; The
roads and schools are the only things
which the townships have left for tax
assessments. If the roads are taken
from US it will endanger the existen-
ce of our towns and place too much
power in the hands of few. l believe
in home rule and let home rule con-
tinue.
G. w. Dealean, representing 70
townships in Mobiles county; Turning
of our roads over to the state would
make more room for officeholders and
take business away from the town.
ships. We are absolutely opposed to
the proposal of taking public busi-
ness away from the people and bel
ieve that the present system should
not be changed until it is seen fit to
do so. We are trying to hang on to
what we have left of local govern
ment and the state is now as top
heavy as it ought to be.
w. w. Heffelfnger, Hennepin coun-
ty commissioner and all-American
football player in the early nineteen
hundreds; Hennepin county is absol-
utely opposed to any such proposals.
We should fight to the limit against
it as it would weaken the power OF
the town and villages and we must be
careful how we change our taxation
system.
D. H. Lawler, Stevens county; We
favor the old system and our county
board opposes the proposition be-
cause it would cost us more in the
