Many Formers Being Helped
BY Farm Adjustment Set-up

All farmers whose debt problems
are of a serious nature were urged
this week by VIM. E. Corkins,
county rural rehabilitation super
visor, to get in touch with the Big
Horn county farm debt adjustment
committee without delay.
Embellishments in credit can
cause as much trouble and bring
about failure as quickly as any
problem the farmer is compelled
to face" Corkins said, land the
more quickly these Embellishments
are worked out, the more quickly
farmers will know the real mean
ing of prosperity"
Commencing the work of the
local debt adjustment committee
Corkins said that ten Big Horn
county farmers have found a solu-
ton to their debt problems through
debt adjustment, either by actual
reduction in their debts, refinance
at a lower interest rate, extension
agreements with budgeted repay
ment plans on their present mort
cages, or general revision of their
credit structure. An original in
debtedness of $30,228, borne by the
ten farmers, was reduced to ST.
$50, and the Big Horn county
treasury received 1927 in back tax
es as a result of the adjustments.
Throughout the state, Corkins
reported, SIS farmers have found
relief from credit maladjustment
by taking their troubles to the
farm debt adjustment commit
tees. Actual reductions in debt
totaled 1878 400 on an original
Indebtedness of $2,281,4 46. Back
taxes paid up in connection with
the adjusted cases totaled Sill, 799.
The farm debt adjustment pro-
gram, he explained, is carried on
by voluntary committees appointed
by the governor. The work Is
sponsored by the resettlement adj
ministration and receives the CO.
operation of the county extension
! service, national farm loan asso-
cation, production credit associa-
tions. farm organizations andmany
private financial institutions. The
creditor interests, Mr. Corkins said,
have also co-operated, since they
have realized that the equitable
adjustment of debt benefits them

vices. he concluded, and any farm
er with a debt problem can get in
touch with the committee by
contracting one of the members the
county agent or the rural re-
Mobilization supervisor. il. G.
Wood, district farm debt adjust
ment supervisor for the resettle-
ment administration, will meet
with the committee about once
each month, Mr.. Corkins said.

problems.

ed him instantly. Mr.. Atkins, who
had been in the employ of the
Fschbach Tailor shop the past
eighteen months, had spent the
evening at the dance halls one
mile west of Hardin and was on
his way home when the accident

kota and Montana, coming to
Hardin from Miles City in 1885.

coded him in death a number of
years ago.

from a cost Of $4,000 to about

Of this added expenditure to be
borne by Big Horn county is ap-
proximately $4,000.
After the county commissioners
gave notice under this new law Of
their intention to issue warrants
in the sum Of $4,000 many per-
sons became interested. Petitions
were circulated and many signers
were obtained objecting to the
issuance of these warrants, not
alone for the purpose of stopping
the court house but with the idea
in mind of securing something
definite as to what the total cost
to the county of the court house
was going to be and with the idea
Of learning whether further money
was intended to be raised for

county commissioners Monday, a
full discussion into these different
activities was had and very salts
factory conclusions reached with
the result of the meeting being
finally reflected in a resolution
unanimously adopted by the board
of county commissioners, as pub
Gshed on page four of this issue.
The commissioners further went
on record as being a~ppreciative Of
the interest which the citizens of
Big Horn county had taken in the
affairs at their county ond invited
the public to be free to meet with
them at any time, and particularly
at the time of the making of the
levy upon which the taxes will be
raised for the year 1888.
A large number of Hardinites
attended the afternoon session.
After the meeting many of the
county seat visitors availed them

COUNTY LAND SALE SCENE
OF ACTIVE BIDDING

Big Horn county sold sixteen
tracts of land at public auction
on May II, 1897. These tracts
we're lands that had been taken
by tax deed action due to the
fact that the taxes had become
delinquent for a sufficient number
of years to warrant said tax deed
action. Included among the tracts
that were sold at public auction to
the highest bidder were two coun-
ty houses and the Bean block, all
of which sold at good figures. The
total received from the sale was
approximately five thousand dol
lars. This is the third sale of tax
deed property that has been held
during the last twelve months
and Harry e. Cox, county clerk
and recorder stated there would
be another sale as soon as the
quiet title proceedings we're com-
pleted by County Attorney Charles
c. Quinn. The county has taken
a large percentage of the vacant
lots in the City Of Hardin, most
of which have been resold and
put back on the tax rolls. This
action has certainly helped in
getting the lots cleared as far as
taxes were concerned, and en-
abled people to find locations on
which to build, who might have
otherwise been held back due to
the inibility to find lots on which
TO build that weren't burdened
with a lot of back taxes.
