Seed Corn Loans Are
Available in County
County Agent Tells Of Require
ments Needed To Qualify
| For Loan

A few folk in Stearns county may
be In q position to take advantage
Of seed corn loans according to in
formation available at the county
agents office in st. Cloud. Many
corn growers have saved consid-
cradle amount of seed corn but
probably will not have enough in
order to take advantage Of corn
loan program as offered by the
government.
Farmers, who want to make a
loan on seed corn, must have at
least 100 bushels of seed corn on
hand and the amount Of the loan
that can be made on such seed
corn II it meets the necessary
qualifications will be $1.75 a BUSH
ell The loan is finally made through
the Commodity Credit office at
Omaha and applications after Nov
ember Is will be available at the
county agents office, st. Cloud. AZ
ter the application is made an in
spector will visit the farm to look
over the corn and take two sam
Piles, one for termination test and
one for a moisture test. The mois-
ture content of corn in order to
take advantage Of the loan must
be down to IA per cent and the
termination must be well over 90.
The interest on the loan is 4 per
cent.
"A farmer can choose to sell his
corn and the government really
urges that he make his own plans
to sell it. If the government takes
over the seed for payment of the
loan it is necessary for the pro-
Queer to shell, grade and deliver
the corn to the shipping point in
town. With the seed demand as it
is, however, there should be little
or no corn taken over by the gov
eminent in payment of the loan be-
cause seed corn will probably sell
for an amount per bushel much
higher than the loan value and
should not be left over for the gov
eminent to take over to satisfy the
loan.

Snow and Sleet
Driving Hazard
Old Man Winter Opened Season
with Blizzard Monday
Roads Blocked

Come early and avoid the rush"
seemed to be the slogan of Old
Man Winter when he cracked
down with colder weather and
snow storms Monday evening. A
rain Sunday that quickly turned to
a wet snow carpeted the ground,
and the flurries that followed on
Monday turned to a near blizzard
that evening. Several inches fell in
this locality during the night and
Tuesdays voters found difficulty in
getting to the polls in many Of the
rural sections of the Midwest.
Driving was made hazardous by
the needle-pointed, wind-driven
flakes and traffic was slowed by
slippery pavements and zero-vis-
sion. Reports from this commun-
ity gave roads partially blocked
with drifts on some of the side
roads to depth of nearly four
feet. Snow plows were sent scurry-
ing out Of the highway department
of this city in all directions to
clear the drifted roadways. School
bus routes were not completed on
Tuesday morning, and mail car
riers experienced difficulty on their
routes.
Temperatures dropped with the
falling snow dangerously near zero,
unofficial reports stating Tuesday
mornings temperature at 10 de-
grees above. A moist, unfrozen
ground tended to melt snow from
underneath, and a warm sun on
Tuesday dawned clear melted from
above. In spite of high winds and
milder temperatures throughout
the day, Sank Lake had begun to
freeze. In large patches thin ice
appeared on the rough surface.
Lanes Of water punctured the
freezing ice.
AS people were reminded that
winter would not be far behind this
first definite snow fall, coal deal
ers were sent hurrying to fiji or
ders. Others were caught with
storm windows off and other pro
visions for winter have been over

Japanese Civilian Gains
lNeW York Times)

(NeW York Times)
 Japanese civilian authorities, in their perennial
 ockeying with high military command for control of national policies have at least temporary gains on two fronts. In China where the negotia- tions between the Japanese Ambassador and the Chinese Foreign Minister for the settlement of the chief differences between the countries have pro- lceeded amcably despite repeated public pronounce ments of Japanese Army officers that decisive mil- tary action imminent. And in Japan where the army leaders, who have been pressing for organization of the Government in order to enlarge their powers have agreed to postponement of such lreadjustment until after the parliamentary meeting this fall
 It is not certain that Premier Koki Hirota and the civilian members of his Cabinet differ fundamen- tally with the military authorities the question ot what Japan should seek in China. Neither group is explicit in stating it's obecves Both prefer to speak in general terms about the necessity for peaceful we-organized, sympathetic China, willing sincerely to cooperate with Japan. Both determined that Japans economic interests in China as a source of raw materials and an almost nexhaustible poten- tial market for Japanese manufactured goods shall be fully safeguarded. The difference between the politicians and the military men is so much on ultimate objectives the method and the tempo of Japanese expansion in China. On this point Hrota anxious to avoid break with China that might lead to open conflict appears to have had his way.
 At home the withdrawal of the Japanese military appears to be strategic Their demands for changes in the Cabinet apparently designed to assure them, in addition to their absolute control the army and the navy and their right of direct access to the Emperor, larger if not decisive influence in both domestic and foreign policies Nothing in the news would indicate that the army and navy have given up this program None the less, their decision
 to refrain from pressing the removes the danger of an immediate internal crisis which might have led to the overthrow of the Hirota Cabinet and would almost certainly have had adverse effect on the pending negotiations with China.
 Except for the possibility of a serious clash be- tween Japanese and Chinese troops in the province 
 of Chahar the prospect for temporary settlement is favorable provided Japan will be satisfied with somewhat fuller opportunity to strengthen its eco homie position in Northeast China

 The morning is an suspicious time for both business and professional men and women to push important matters. Lawyers will benefit under this sway which promises honors for learned jurists.
 It is favorable rule of the stars for beginning what has been long planned Astrologers stress the be- lief that destiny may be read in everyday happenings-that the fu- ture may be known from the pres ent.
 Labor continues under a sinister direction of the planets. There is a sign that encourages deception, continued lack of harmony among leaders, and even physical violence, especially on the Pacific Coast.
 This is a promising day for exc cutive work of every sort. Whatever is onStructive should benefit. Science is to offer novel vacations in the coming winter.
 Care of the health is urged, es- pecially in diet. The wise outlay of marketing funds will be of exact importance in the coming months.
 For the young there is great prom ise Their ability is to be tested severely. Tn the universities the demonstrations C. pacifism nay cause trouble.
 One of the signs o. one times seems to indicate that great events will be undiscovered as they gather world momentum. Surprises will come even to the most farseeing persons, and modern prophets will be confounded.
