'tst'SS t's THE STANFORD WORLD. TREASURE STATE FARM AND LIVESTOCK ARRANGE LOANS TO STOCK GROWERS WAR FINANCE CORPORATION TO MAKE ADVANCES TO BANKS WHICH MAKE IA)ANS. It Is Hoped That This Measure Will Enable the Banks to Bawl(' Cred- it Freely to Partners and Cattle- men Whenever Necessary to In- sure Raising of Stock. As the result of conferences be- tween the secretary of agriculture, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Leffingwell, and the chairman of the War Finance Corporation, W. P. Harding, at the suggestion of the secretary of the treasury, the War Finance Corporation 111.9 notified banks and trust companies, through the federal reserve banks of its will- ingness to make advances to banks and trust companies which have made loans to farmers and cattle- men. The following statement, is- sued by the corporation, explains this action more fully. The board of directors of the War Finance Corporation has announced that at the sug, estion of Secretary McAdoo it had wired the federal re- serve banks of Dallas, Kansas City and Minneapolis, requesting th m to notify the banks and trust companies In their respective districts, non- members as well as members of the federal reserve system, of the will- ingu a ess of the War Finance Corpora- tion'tq. make advances under Section VII of ites-War Finance Corporation act to banks and trust companies which had made Joans to farmers and cattlemen. It is hoped that this messura will enable these institutions to extend credit freely, both to farmers and cattlemen, whenever necessary to In- sure the preservation of those essen- tial industries in localities where drouths have seriously impaired thtir productivity. Under the terms of the War Fi- nance Corporation act these ad- vances are limited to 75 per cent of the amount of the loans made by the borrowing institution, or to 100 per cent in case the bosrowing institu- tion itself furnishes additional col- lateral to the extent of 33 per cent of the advance. ' Such advances will be made by the War Finance Cor- poration upon written application through the several Federal reserve banks, acting as its fiscal agents, but only after consideration of their rec- ommendations upon the prinsissory note of the borrowing institution se- sured by the obligations of the far- mers and cattlemen to which loans have been made by the borrowing in- stitutions, -together wtih any secur- ity taken for such obligations. The following Is quoted from Secretary McAdoo's telegram to Governor Harding: \Drouths in Montana, parts of North Dakota, Kansas and Texas are creating a serious situation for the farmers there, involving possible abandonment of farms and sacrifice of livestock. I think that effective HOW FARMERS RIMY \ Palf FOR FEDERAL AID FOR SEEDING In order to prevent those applying for money under the provisions of the seed grain loan from securing the money under false pretenses, the ap- plicants for the funds will be check- ed up by the community committee, and each applicant must have the ap- proval of the community before the farm loan banks will disburse the funds to the needy farmers under the provisions of the seed grain loan act. The community committee con- sists of the members of the county farm bureau in each community and those people have first-hand evidence as to the applicant's sincerity in borrowing money to raise crops and especially his ability to borrow money from other sources than from the government. Each application blank forwarded to the office of the federal seed grain loan bureau in Great Falls will have attached to it the community committee's opinion of the applicant's ability to farm the acreage he asks funds to cover. Blanks for that purpose are now being distributed among the county agents who will place them in the heads of each conununity committee and they in turn will retlit n them to the office here with the original ap- plication of the applicant seeking a loan. The testimony of the community committee will necessarily hive con- siderable influence in the final ap- proval of the application and will be an important factor in reaching the decision to aid the applicant. G. I. Christie, in charge of the district seed grain loan office) left recently to arrange for the distri- bution of government funds in the burnt -out sections of North Dakota, and will deliver an address before farmers at Minot Tuesday. Ile ex- pects to return to this city about Thursday, Mr. Warburton will speak to the farmers at Bismarck later in the week. The form of community commit- tees will fill out follows: APPROVAL FORM FOR 0051MUNITY OOMMITTEE (This form is to be filled out by the Community Committee of the Farm Bureau and mailed to the County Agent as promptly as pos- sible. It should be attached to the application blank by tile County Farm Bureau Committee and forwarded with it to the Federal Seed Grain Loan Office, Great Falls, Mont.) 1918. Post of flee Date of Name of Applicant for Loan Postoffico an applicant for a Federal Seed Grain loan to aid him in getting in his fall seeding of wheat and rye, is personally known to us and we sre familiar with conditions on the farm operated by him. The an- swers to the fonowing questions are true to the best of our know- ledge and belief. 1. Has the applicant the acreage for which he is asking assist- ance in such shape as to meet the seed -bed requirements specified? 2. Is the farm or field of the applicant enclosed with a good fence . If not, is his land located within an op- erating herd district, so that this grain will not be damaged or de- stroyed by stock? 3. Has the applicant sufficient horse or engine power and the necessary machinery properly to prepare and seed the acreage he is asking aid in seeding/ 4. Do you believe the applicant will make every effort to pro- duce a crop and return the money loaned and that the government Is justified in making the loan to him? (Signed) Community Committee. assistance can be rendered by the War Finance Corporation. This cor- poration was created to help finance industries essential to the war, and I know of no industry more sital to the war than that of raising wheat, corn, livestock and other food prod- ucts. Aid should be extended by the War Finance Corporation to the farm industry and to every other industry which is vital to the prosecution of the war. I think the War Finance Corporation should make loans to national and state banks on farmers' paper. This would enable all na- tional and state banks to extend loans, to deserving farmers with full FREIGHTERS ATTENTI Mr. D. Landerville of Anaconda, Montana, has a seven and a half -mile rock hauling contract. Working with a four -horse team from 5 a. m. to 8 p. m. in the evening, he was able to deliver a 5 -ton load each day. He put on a second team and then could not do the work. A PIERCE -ARROW 5 -TON TRUCK on the same haul de- livered three loads of five tons each from 1 p. in. to 6 p. m. Mr. Landerville bought the truck.

Mahon, a member of the 'executive committee of the state highway commission, and Paul Pratt, the commission's chief engineer, are making an inspection of northern Montana with the idea of arranging the start of road work, particularly in the drought districts. The commission has had this work in mind for some time, but because of the need of men for other essea- Hal war work, did not plan on un- dertaking it at present. Then the drought came, blasting the hopes of farmers and making it necessary f ar many of them to find outside work, so the commission will start the work now, that the farmers may have a source of income without going away from their farms. J. M. Roberts, in charge of the con- struction crew engaged in building the highway across the main range of the Rockies from Belton 67 miles easterly, reports good progress is be- ing made, although, because of the extremely rough character of the country and the thick underbrush, work necessarily proceeds more slow- ly than in a prairie country. Twelve miles of this new road are through a forest reserve, and J. S. Bright, in charge of the Missoula office of the federal department of public roads, recently completed .. reconnai sance of this stretch. Another construction crew' is mak- ing good progress in Powell county on the improvement of the road be- tween Butte and MISBOUla. Already nine miles have been, reshaped be- tween Butte and Garrison, and the gang is now headed west from Gar- rison toward Missoula. A considerable portion of the road is to be graveled so as to insure good traveling in wet weather. The road grading and shaping equipment on the job consists of two gas tractors, one scarifier, four blade graders and one gas roller. To haul gravel the commission is using a big caterpillar hauling engine, to which are trail- ed a number of dump wagons. This gravel outfit is something of an in- novation and the commission is keep- ing close track of costs to determine how it compares with horse equip - meat. WOULD ENLARGE OUTPUT OF FRY h FATE GAME WARDEN DellART s.& VS MONTANA SHOULD PRO- DUCE MORE FISII. Will Endeavor to Bring About Ea- largoinent of Hatchery at George - (own Lake; Montana Plants An- nually 20,000,000 Fry US Against 1Vashington's 120,000,000. The capacity of the state fish hatchery at Anaconda will be doubled if the plans of State Game Warden .lake Do Hart materalize. In fact, this official has in mind the trebling si the size of the Anaconda hatchery, if the next session of the legislature (-an be made to see the light. Warden De Hart visited the Ana- conda plant and spawning station and traps at Georgetown lake a few (lays ago and is more than ever im- pressed with the possibilities held !ortli at Anaconda for extending the scope of fish planting, particularly :lecessary at this time as fool factor .f for no other reason, State Planting. The state of Montana will plant this season from .18,000,000 to 19,- 1100,000 fry as against around 21,- e00,00?), a figure which appears off hand to be of some magnitude, but when compared with othir western states gives to Montana a decidedly punk look. The game warden's de- partment of the state of Washington, according to Mr. Do Hart, last sea- son planted 120,000,000 fry and this year l i t is planning to increase that number by a material margin because of the necessity of offsetting the high price of meat. Rising to the Occasion. The automobile has brought prac- tically every stream in Montana with- in easy reach in addition to adding many thousands to the ranks of fish- ermen, making imperative, said War- den De Hart, increased activities in the direction of stream stocking, and the game warden's department, prac- tically the only self supporting de- partment of the state, is rising to the occasion and planting fish for all it's worth, in consequence of which good sport is being furnished the angler in most of the streams which are readily reached. Efforts Inadequate. \But our efforts, redoubled as they are, simply are inadequate to meet the growing demands upon the streams, and it is up to the legislature to follow the lead established and proved a success by the northwest neighbors of Montana. Every auto tourist motoring through Montane, has a battery of fishpoles and 90 per cent of the stops are along the bank of some stream where a fry for the evening meal is obtainable, and so it is on every hand, a continued deple- tion of the streams and rivers, which must be made up by the state increas- ing the capacities of the hatcheries, centralizing the work of hatching in order to reduce the overhead ex- pense and increase efficiency to the highest point in order that every fry possible be had.\ Warden De Hart spoke interest- ingly of the experiment being made with the wInnet or landlocked sal- mon, of which fry 1,200,000 had been planted in the lakes of Montana the past year. It has not been deter- mined yet whether the fish will re- produce in fresh water as the natural productive environment of this fish is in salt water, but regardless of this the poundage these salmon have been taking on since their planting in Mon- tana waters has made the experiment a profitable one from the standpoint of food value alone, whether or not an egg ever is obtained from the spe- cies, he said. Copies of the federal game regu- lations have been received by the Montana game warden's department said Mr. De Hart, and in several eases there are conflicts with the Montana statutes, in which case the latter govern. -Z Food Value of Cottage Cheese Cottage cheese ranks higher as a meat substitute than almost any other dairy product; that is, it con- tains a larger percentage of protein or body building material thar. most meats, and has the advantage of be- ing much less expensive. The following table compiled by the United States dairy division gives the protein value of 1 pound of cot- tage cheese as compared with that of meats of various kinds: Sirloin steak, 1.27 Chuck rib beef 1.37 Loin Pork Chop 1.58 Fresh ham 1.46 Round steak 1.09 Fowl 1.42 Smoked ham 1.44 Hind leg of lamb 1.31 Breast of veal 1.37 This table is particularly signifi- cant when one remembers the high prices of meats and the relatively low cost of cottage cheese. Furthermore, cottage cheese may be made into a number of savory dishes In combina- tion with vegetables to make it more agreeable to those who do not like it plain as ordinaril - served.

A. Schaub worked for Marcus Daly in the Alice mine. He left there in 1882 and returned last week for the first time. \This isn't the old town I left in '82,\ said Mr. Schaub. \I don't know this place.\ He succeeded, however, in finding a number of his old-time friends. \1 was in Colorado in '71,\ said Mr. Schaub, \I was in the Black hills !II '76; in Leadville in '78. I saw two, four and seven mon strung up together. The miners made the law in tnose days. And we have never had better laws since. Justice ruled and it didn't take a Philadelphia law- yer to figure it out.\ Mr. Schaub, whose postoffice ad- dress is Halley, Boise, or Fairville, Idaho, has spent 38 years under- ground and two years in mining schools. For this reason he was selected to inspect a number of Mon- tana properties, and while in Madi- son county he leased three gold and silver mines.

Dairying is a type of farming best adapted to the timbered sec- tions of western Montana. Moot of the land can be converted into pasture at very little expense and dairy cows will yield a splendid profit from the land without the necessity of removing the stumps, although a sufficient acreage must be put under the plow to suPply winter feed. In connection with dairying, hog and poultry should take an important part. All fruits, berries, and garden truck thrive; field crops of grain, clover, timothy, potatoes, and stock roots do well. You are buying at values fixed by experienced appraisers, strip- ped of promotion charges, com- missions, and other trimmings, which are usually added before it reaches the farmer.
