seed loan office that a lot of farm
ers can't get their loans until just
in time to be too late for spring
planting.
That part of it is done on pur-
pose. The more farmers they can
get to keep the seed ont of the
land, the better the New Deal will
like it.
Feed loans are parceted oct.
Machinery is worn out and no loans
can be gotten to replace it because
the farmer has nothing left to
mortgage that isn't already mort
gagged up to the hilt.
Provisions of H.R. 3471
Now you ask what all this has
to do with the Farmers Emergen-
cey Relief Bill, H.R. 3471?
Just this:
The bill among other things has
a couple of sections th"t zeal with
just such things that are taking
place in Sheridan county.
Section 9. Cash relief for the
necessities of liz shall be af-
fOrded to all farmers in need of
relief. The needs for relief and
for the benefits of this act shall
be determined by farmers desig-
mated in this act, through COM
mittees which they themselves
elect from their own number.
The secretary of the treasury
shall, promptly upon the receipt
of a certified request from such
a local farmer committee, fur
nisk to any individual farmer in
the community, such amounts as
the farmer shall certify are
needed by the individual farmer
in the community.
How Il Works
What would this mean to Sher
idan county?
Farmers in the townships would
meet and elect a committee t.
check up on and supervise the re
lief needs. This committee would
not have lawyers or professional
starvation experts on it, but woult
have those people on it who arr
the most vitality concerned--th,
/ farmers who need relief.
We have a committee for thu
county now, but it is having a 10
of trouble with the obstacles tina
Prendergas and others put in tn,
way of setting up a committee tina
will function.

Fellow Farmer, Does Your Home and
Family Mean Anything to You?

has titled the soil or raised live
stock, or from the dwelling house
on that farm for the nOn-pay-
Tsent of any debt, rent, taxes or
other obligations, or because of
the termination of any lease or
contract. To secure the farmer
in possession of his land, house
or equipment, all debts and 9th
er obligations threatening such
possession are declared cancel
led.
In other words, under the act
you will be safe in your home and
in the possession of your property.
If any debt threatens your home,
that debt will be cancelled. If you
want to pay, no one will stop you
but the banks or insurance COM
pany have absolutely no chance to
set you out.
Nearly every farmer is in dan
ger of having the banks tell him
to get off. This act stops that.
Not only this but in another
section it says this: Section 4.
No farm equipment, farm i'm
prOvements, livestock or produce
of any farm shall be attached,
seized, levied upon or removed
from such farm for the nOn-pay-
ment of any debt, rent, taxes or
other obligation, or because of
the termination of any lease or
contract.
The act not only protects your
property but helps you along and
over the tough spots by liberal
credit, by plenty of cash relief.
Worth Your Support
If there ever was a bill worth
working for, this is it.
It was introduced by Usher l..
Burdick of North Dakota as House
Resolution 3471. Hearings on it
were held a short time ago.
The North Dakota Holiday en-
dorsed it last summer. The Sioux
Falls conference endorsed it this
spring. The United Farmers
League has endorsed it.
Every farmer should endorse it
if he has any intention of remain
ing on his land. Of course, if he
would rather go on a Fort Peck
Poverty Patch, then he need not
support H.R. 3471.
Every local organization should
support it.
Wheeler would do a lot more for
us by working for H.R. S471 than
he is doing now.

act could not help but function be-
cause of the way it is elected.
There would be no need to go
kneeling to the relief office bar
ons. There would be no need OF
these continual arguments. There
would be no more children who are
refused medicine as is happening
now. There would be no more
freezing because the relief office
gets uppity about issuing coal.
There would be no holding up
of checks or orders in dozen diff
ferent offices. The committees
would send certified request to
the secretary of the treasury and
the amount would be issued.
The yell that would come up &
bout this being just a method of
gentle racketeering by the commit
tee and farmers at the expense of
everybody else, we will say that
the committee would be more just
and honest than any relief outfit
set up in the state, and certainly
the Sheridan county relief office
can be no comparison to it.
The money is to come from tax
es on high incomes, inherita1ces
and gifts.
So much for that.
Crop Loans
Long term c1op production loans
payable in cash o. kid sal be
N ace without ints est to all farm
ers in need of sucn oans.
That's section 5 of the same
act.
First it says they will be long
term loans. Second, that the
farmer can pay back either in
kind or cash as it suits him. He
can pay cash for his seed loan
or bushel for bushel if he has a
good crop and prices of wheat
go down.
Third, it provides for no inter-
est, so that a long term loan
will not have to be paid over and
over again to satisfy the lender.
Those two sections go a lonl
way towards providing whatever
security might be gotten under the
present system.
Property Protection
Another section puts teeth int
this question of safeguarding thu
property of the farmer.

stances shall any farmer be ev-

What would happen in Sheri-
dan county if the Farmers En-
Urgency bill, H.R. S471. were a
fact today?
There are a couple of things
that are on the minds of Sheridan
county farmers continually at the
present time. One is the question
of getting enough relief to barely
get along on, and the other is get
ting the needed credit to get the
spring field work done.
To get the relief you have to
go up to the empire of Prender-
CAST and argue needlessly while he
or some of his trusted henchmen
dig up one reason after another
out of thin air to prove you should
not get relief.
The other day Hans Hardersen
was turned down on an order be-
cause the relief office claimed he
had refused to sell a yearling calf
for SIS. Hardersen later said he
would like to find out who that
generous" or just plain "nutty'
person was who had offered him
that much for calf. He said he
would sell him his whole herd fol-
that.
But it was good enough for the
relief "czar" to turn down the ap-
plication.
Farmers not only have to actual
ly beg for orders, but have to bear
up under all sorts of insulting re-
marks and insinuations.
That's the way one problem is
being handled by the "good" peo-
pie in the relief office.
That is the way they are order
ed to do this by the whole Wash
ington set-up.
Less relief and more trouble
getting it. That is the motto Of
Roosevelt, Hopkins and company.
Seed Loan Worries
The matter of getting credit fol
our farms is fully as important
Seed, feed or any other kind o.
loans are mighty hard to wrin9
out of the people who are sup
posed to issue them. To get then
at all, farmers have to mortgage
everything in sight or that nigh
be visible in a couple of years
