REA Expects
100000 Loan
ESQ MORE FARMS TO
BE SERVED ON 100
MILE EXTENSION

REA has given preliminary
consideration" to an application
of the Central Minnesota Coop
erative Power association for an
additional loan of $500, 900 to ex-
tend 100 miles of rural lines to
serve some $50 farms in Redwood
and Brown counties.
Application had been made for
ESQ mile extension.
'The bulletin giving that in
formation means we are in line
for the grant and we should get
it as we already have signers for
the extension" an REA director
said this week.
The same retail rate which has
already been established for the
first section of the project will
probably apply on the new sec
ton. Under this rate, residential
customers pay minimum bill Of
81 month for which they may
receive 40 XVIII while $3.50 pays
for 100 XVIII.

LIBRARY, MUSEUM AND
EANDSTAND PLANNED
BY G. O. GILFILLAN

Morgan is looking forward to
the early completion of two pub
lie buildings to be constructs
without cost to taxpayers of the
village.
The village, as sponsor, will re-
ceive SIS per cent of the cStimat-
ed $4,000 investment from Char
les O. Gilfillan who conceived the
projects as a fitting memorial 10
his father, c. d. Gilfillan. Village
officials have received approval
of As per cent PWA grant to be
furnished by the federal govern
msnt
One Of the but Iings will COM
bine public library, museum
and woman's community build
ing while the other will be
brick bandstand, replacing the
present frame structure. Both
viii be located in Vernon park.
The library and museum will
be approximately "a by SO feet
and with two floors. On the
ground floor will be the museum
with smaller rooms for Wo-
mans lavatory and a heating
plant, which also will heat the
bandstand. The upper floor will
house the library, with suitable
equipment, the librarians office
and woman's lounge. Both will
be of fireproof construction.
The bardstand will be octagon
in shape, "a feet across, with
locker rooms for bandmen's in
struments and equipment on the
first floor. The main floor will
have II foot ceiling and
screened French windows, open

Mr.. Gilfllan has stressed in the
preparation of plans that the
buildings must be constructed
with a view to serviceability and
economical maintenance as they
become the property of the vii
lage upon completion. A repre-
sentative committee will confer
with Mr.. Gilfillan on the details,
expecting to have all arrange
ments completed so that work
can start before the end of the
year.
Not the first memorial under

School Budget
Little Changed
STATE AID FOLLOWING
YEAR WILL INCREASE
SUBSTANTIALLY

The budget for operation of the
Redwood Falls school system for
1938-39 was accepted as present.
ed by Reede Gray, superintend-
ent, at the regular meeting of the
board of education Monday night.
Receipts expected this term
total $108, 19911-the figure in
Guiding last years cash balance
of $22,579.11.
Expenses will be $85, $50, the
board anticipates and they expect
a cash balance of 22,269.11 at
the end of this school year.
There is no marked difference
between the budget for the COM
ing year and that of the last
school term, anticipated receipts
and expenditures running about
the same.
Next year, however, there will
be considerable increase of state
aid for cut-of-toWn students,
their numbers having grown this
year with the closing of the YES
ia school.
State aid is given each year on
the basis Of the previous years
enrolment.
The board also voted to place
Bibles in various classrooms of
the school upon the unanimous
approval of the Redwood Falls
Ministerial association.

Kintire Family Uses Help,
Is on Road to INDEPENDENCE

Schulz bought eight cows, five
horses, four SoWS and some used
machinery.
In spite of being hailed out the
first year, through hard work and
with supervision of the FSA, the
Schulz family has made progress
until today they own a flock of
sheep, Is head of cattle, five
horses, one colt, 80 hogs, ITS
chickens and a complete line of
machinery, including used
tractor and electrical equipment
such as a pump and washing ma
chine. S--.....-.
Reduces His Lean
By October l he had reduced
his loan $3.50 and has adequate
resources to meet his next pay
ment.
Because of his ability to oper-
ate the farm to his landlords sat-
isfaction he has remained on the
same farm for three years and
has a lease signed for 1889.
Being handy with carpenter
tools he has made repairs to most
of the buildings including new
foundations, reshingling and
painting. The house is being re-
modelled and he will soon COM
plete a new corncrib. For this
work he is given credit for cash
rent which he would ordinarily
pay for the pasture and hay land,
the crop acreage being rented on
a share basis.
Plenty of livestock feed and
next springs seed is on hand in
addition to SO acres of standing
corn.
The Schulz's keep satisfactory
farm and home record books
which are part of the FSA's "ru-
raj rehabilitation" loaning pro-
gram. AS an interesting sidelight
of the Schulz loan, it was reveal
ed by Mr.. Postage that their
record book was accepted last
year as one of the "Class' A"
record books chosen by the state
FSA office for special duty.
Was Big Help
When commenting recently on
the FSA loan, which is made only
to farm families unable to secure
credit from other government or
commercial agenies, Schulz said,
eff it was not for the loan we re-
ceived from the FSA we would
still be on relief or 1 would be
working out as a hired man."
In explaining the outstanding
progress made by some borrow
ers, Mr.. Postage said that, 'The
Schulz loan presents a history
typical of our borrowers who are
willing to apply hard work and
Cooperate with our office. The
loan funds alone will not do the
trick"
In Redwood county Mr.. Foss-
hage, who also has charge of FSA
loans in Brown county, super
vises approximately 85 farmers
operating with rural rehabilita-
ton loans. He also services APP
proximately $50 emergency"
loans made in 1884 and 1885 for
feed to drouth stricken farmers.
These government loans, both
the rural rehabilitation ard
emergency feed loans were inau-
gurated in 1884. In 1885 the Re-
settlement administration took
over the loaning program, drop
ped certain undesirable features,
creating the program much as it
is today. Last fall the Resettle-
ment administration went out of
existence but the rehabilitation
loaning program was taken over
In its entirety by the Farm Sc
curity administration.
