DEBTS JUSTIFIED
PAST TWO MONTHS
Committee Also Sets Record
For Largest Saving For
Any One Case

Sheridan County's Farm Debt Ad-
visory Committee OF which w. f. Eel
lows OF PlentywoOd is chairman,
again broke all records for farm debt
adjustment in this state when they
turned In reports to the state office
last week of 10 cases settled during
the past two months. These ase
involved a total Indebtedness of
more than 500, 900 and were settled
with a saving to the farmers involv-
ed of more than $50, 000.O or almost
so percent of the original indebted
ness.
Other members OF the Sheridan
County Farm Debt Adjustment COM
mittee are Vernon Hoven, Plenty
wood, secretary-treasurer; r. G. Ty-
Ter, Homestead; Andrew LELAND,
Outlook; and w. e. Nash, RedstOne.
This committee also set the record
for the largest saving in any one
case when they managed through
voluntary agreement between the
debtor and his creditors to reduce a
debt total of $21, 100000 down to S.,
10000 which was the largest amount
that the Federal Land Bank would
loan on the property. This is a saw
ing of almost rs percent of the orig
inal Indebtedness and a further say
ing each year on interest charges.
All of the cases settled by the farm
debt advisory committees In this
state are settled through friendly,
voluntary adjustment OF the debts
by meeting with the debtor and his
creditors. In all cases where an
agreement has been reached, 1t has
meant that the creditors have volun'
tarily given UP a part Of the money
that is rightfully owing to them in
order that the farmer might reor'
ganize his debts and continue In
business. Usually, however, it is
good business on the part Of the
creditor to do this for he realizes
more on his investment through
this method than he would IL he took
advantage OF legal proceedings.
Farm Debt Advisory Committees
have been in operation in this state
a little over six months. In this
short time they have helped to settle
II cases involving a total indebted
s OF $500, 100000. OF this amount
almost $3.50, 100000 has been savet
the farmer through adjustment of hi!
debts. In many cases this has alst
meant the saving of his home from
foreclosure and sale.

Higher feed LOAN
OFFER IS LIMITED

Although the emergency feed and
seed loan service has been authoriz-
ed to raise the limit of its feed loans
in primary drouth areas, this liberal
ization is not intended to apply in a
blanket way, but each case will be
considered on its merit in the region
al office. This is the information
that comes from the emergency feed
and seed loan division of the farm
credit administration of Spokane.
In individual cases where general
weather conditions are eve and
the farmers feed supply is made
quate, loans UP to $3.50 a head a
month will be allowed to purchase
feed for farm cattle, 81 a month for
range stock and Sc for work horses.
1t is required, however, that the local
loan committee shall carefully invest
igate each application for such an In
crease and make recommendations.
Unless good reason exists for rails.
irg the loan limit in exceptional
cases, the present policy will contin'
ue to apply whereby farmers and
live stock men In primary droutf
counties may borrow not to exceed
SO a head a month for feed for farm
cattle, "a for work horses, $3.50 fo1
range stock and so cents for sheep
| Only such amounts will be furnished
as are necessary to maintain THE
stock, not to fatten for market OF
produce milk, etc., the regulation
reads.

Farmers Oil Company Loses
Case To Yale Company
In High Court

The Montana supreme court We'd
nesday ruled that the state mortgage
moratorium act passed by the last
special legislative assembly is not
broad enough to justify the stay
order granted the Plentywood Oil
company, preventing the sale OF It's
property to satisfy a real estate and
a chattel mortgage held by the Yale
Oil company of Miles City.
The high court held that the order
OF the Sheridan county district court
is improper, on the grounds the Mon
lana law fails to carry any provision
for a stay where personal property
is conveyed.
The Yale company bought suit to
~foreclose the two mortgages and
won a Judgment directing the sale OF
the property both real and personal
in one lot or parcel. The Plenty
wood company asked and received q
stay OF Judgment under terms Of the
mortgage moratorium act Of 1888.
The Yale company appealed ant
attacked the constitutionality Of the
new law. At the same time 1t In
sisted the moratorium statute WA

Horses And Auto A LaCarte

Necessity may be the mother OF
invention to some, but NECESSITY"
during the recent cold wave and
NOV storm was simply good,
sound Judgment to Carl Hovdey,
Outlook farmer.
Mr.. Hovdey wanted to get to
Plentywood. He was confronted
with four miles of impossible
roads for car travel leading from
his farm to the highway near Out
look. To travel the distance to
PIentywood by horse and sleigh in
voIved considerable time and dis
comfort In sub-zero weather. II he
could get his car over that four
miles of snowdrifts, he could pro-
coed nicely.
He solved the problem. Hitch
ing up a team Of horses, he pulled
the automobile to the highway,
left the team and journeyed on to
PIentywood. Returning that ev
ening, he h~arnessed up the faithful
horses, hitched them to the car,
and traversed the seemingly impos-
sibIe four miles to his home with
out difficulty.
II must be all in knowing how.
