Farm Interest Rates
Will Be Extended

The reduced interest rates on Fed
eral Land Bank and Commissioner
loans have been extended by Fed
eral legislation for period of two
years, according to word received
today from the Federal Land Bank
by Leonard Machart, secretary treas
urer of the Southern Pine County
National Farm Loan Association with
headquarters at Beroun.
On Federal Land Bank loans
through active national farm loan
associations the temporarily reduced
rate, 3k percent per annum, will be
continued for all interest installments
payable prior to July l, 1910. On
, loans obtained directly from the land
bank the rate will be four percent.
The temporarily reduced rate of
four percent on Land Bank Com
missioner loans is also continued until
July l, 1910, Mr.. Machart said. ''The
temporary interest reduction does
not change the contract interest rate,
that is, the rate written in the mort
gage at the time loan was made"
he stated. "At present the contract
rates on new Land Bank loans are
four percent for loans through un-
impaired associations, and Az per-
cent for direct loans. The contract
rate on all Commissioner loans made
through the Land Bank is five per-
cent Under the law, as now
amended, both Land Bank and Com
missioner borrowers will resume in
terest payments at their respective
contract rates on July 1, 1910.
Farmers who now obtain new loans
through an active association at the
four percent contract rate" Mr.. Ma
chart continued, twill get the benefit
of the 31s percent rate for all interest
installments payable prior to July 1,
1910, and after that will not have to
pay more than the four percent con-
tract rate for the balance of the
term of the loan, which may be for
as long as 20 to 80 odd years."

battle is in full swing, with literally
tens of thousands of farmers parti-
cipating.
The work is harder this year, how
ever, due to a wet spring, which
caused the 'hoppers to hatch spo-
radically, necessitating additional
batting. In fact, Commissioner of Ag-
riculture Ommodt has found it neces-
sary to request another 5000 pounds
of the poison bait from the Federal
government, the 5000 pounds on
hand having failed to complete the
job.
The "war" is in charge of T. l.
Aamodt, assistant state entomologist
who has been spending almost his
full time in the field during the cru
cial period. Lending assistance is
the highway department, which fur
nishes trucks for the rapid moving
of the bait to new outbreaks of in
festation.
A survey of the last Congress in
dicates that the farmer had good
deal of influence there. 1t can be
said that the solons went farther
than ever before toward enactment
of an agricultural program which has
some chance of overcoming the farm
depression.
A total of 1900, 100000 was voted
for agricultural aid, with the $212,-
100000 tackled on the relief bill al
the last minute furnishing an agree
able surprise. The sum will be used
for parity" payments on major
crops, and is in addition to the hall
billion earmarked for soil conser-
walton payments.
Considerable amounts were voted
for the Farm Security administration
to handle the wheat insurance pro-
gram, and for various surplus buy
ing plans. Congress again refused
to increase the interest rates on Fed
eral Land bank and commissioner
loans, keeping them at three and one
half and four percent respectively
President Roosevelt's veto was over
ruled Oh this ISSUE.
America is on wheels. Northern

State Capitol News
BY A. I. HARRIS

It is strange how the "wish was
father to the thought" with political
writers of the unfair and biased
metropolitan press when reporting
the Farmer-Labor gubernatorial race
In the late primary. With returns
far from complete, these so-called
political experts" were predicting a
smashing defeat for Governor Ben
son and the Farmer-Labor state adj
ministration.
Now with Governor Benson again
the Farmer-Labor standard bearer,
these same Republican newspaper
prognosticators are already foresee-
ing a Republican victory in Novem-
Der. Again they are indulging in some
wishful thinking. And again they are
doomed to disappointment.
Mondays primary brought the most
significant victory to the Farmer
Labor party in its history because
numerically the vote for progressive
politics was greater than ever be-
fore, polling better than SIS percent
of the total vote. Assuming that
Petersen received some $4,000 to TO-
900 Republican and conservative
Democratic votes, the Farmer-Labor
party still had trifle less than half
of the total vote. Only SO percent
of the total 1886 primary vote went
to the Farmer-Labor party. Real
Farmer-Labor strength displayed in
the primaries was by far the greatest
in the history of this liberal move
ment.
Record also this very significant
fact, which makes the Farmer-Labor
victory in the primaries assume even
more outstanding proportion. The
vote in the conservative or Repub-
1ican wards in the large cities were
proportionately heavier than they
were in the progressive or labor
wards. So also was the Main street
vote as contrasted with the purely
farm vote. Farmers, busy in the
fields at this time of the year, found
it more difficult to go to the polls
than did the small town conservative
business groups.
1t is very rare thing for a major
political party to enter the primaries
of another party almost en- masse
in order to bring about defeat of a
particular candidate. This kind of
strategy is regarded as an act of des-
peration for, if it fails, it places that
party in a psychologically disadvan-
tageous position for the general cleo
ton.
To assure the success of the Re-
publican strategy, it is estimated that
in excess of $15O,0OO were poured
into it. Ethics were disregarded en-
tirely. A veteran political observer
in Minnesota attached to a we'll
known national magazine told the
writer that for viciouSneSS and un-
ethical practices no political cam
paign in America had ever approached
this one. But neither unStinted mon
ey nor unethical campaign tactics
prevailed.
The liberals for the coming cam
paign start with the tremendous adj
vantage of a block of approximately
100000 votes, which includes the
215,000 votes and about $4,000 of
the Petersen votes which were those
of genuine liberals and Farmer-La-
borites who chose the side of Peter
sen in this primary, but who will
be in the Farmer-Labor column in
the fall
There is very little that the Re-
publicans can feel happy about in
the primaries.

An abundance of feed foreshadows
an increase in Minnesota dairy pro-
duction, as we'll as that of other
dairy states, indicating that John
Brandt and his associates in the new
Federal butter sterilization plan have
their work cut out for them. Stor-
age supplies continued to pile up,
with the figure for butter and cheese
reaching new high for that period.
Meanwhile the national dairy
month, which Governor Benson
helped along with a proclamation
asking increased use of dairy pro-
ducts, resulted in advertising dis
plays in windows, at soda fountains
and in advertisements throughout the
nation. The health advantages of
dairy products were stressed.
