Willson Explains Mechanism to
Be Used by Farmer in Need
of Stock Feed
Bismarck, N. D. -- North Dakota
farmers' livestock feed troubles are
due principally to a misunderstanding
of the emergency feed organization set
up to take care of the feed shortage in
the state, according to E. A. Willson.
FERA administrator for North Dakota.
Bombarded with demands for action.
with threats of seizure of reserve sup-
plies and with appeals that many
herds are facing death unless immedi-
ate steps are taken to enlarge present
feed supplies on affected farms, Mr.
Willson explains that neither the
THE EMERGENCY STOCK
FEED SET-UP IN BRIEF
1. Emergency feed supplies
made available through the U. S.
department of agriculture.
2. FERA arranges for purchase
of feed by Rural Rehabilitation
Corporation.
3. Rural Rehabilitation Corpor-
ation sells feed to local dealers un-
der contract.
4. Local dealers sell feed to
farmers with Production Credit As-
sociation loans, Farm Credit Ad-
ministration loans or county ERA
relief orders.
5. No government agency has
title to any feed supplies in any
qounty where emergency feed is
being distributed.
FERA nor the federal government this
winter has title to any reserve feed
supplies now stacked or stored within
the state.
Buy From Private Owners
North Dakota farmers in need of
stock feed can pursue two courses
Willson shows. The~, Can obtain feed
from local dealers who have title to
feed either through monies borrowed
from the Farm Credit Administration
or on relief orders issued through the
County Emergency Relief Administra-
tions.
The North Dakota FERA is under no
responsibility whatsoever to provide
feed or funds in excess of $25 per
month per farmer, Willson declared.
Under rules and regulations promul-
gated at Washington, the state FERA
is prohibited from furnishing feed re-
lief in excess of $25 per month per
farmer.
FERA is Agent
Because North Dakota has no asso-
ciation of feed dealers, the FERA last
summer was asked to cooperate with
the extension division, the extension
division wishing to make use of the
FERA setup in allotting the stock feed
to the various counties where a short-
age existed, Willson outlined.
Under protest federal authorities at
Washington permitted the North Da-
kota FERA to step into the breach and
act as the agent in the purchase of
stock feed and the distribution of the
feed to the local dealers, the FERA at
no time having title to the feed but
serving dealers at the request of the
drouth relief service.
The fact that the price of feed has
been kept down to a reasonable fig-
ure, the fact that speculators have
been unable to take unfair advantage
of the situation is due entirely to the
Rural Rehabilitation corporation which
has contracted for feed at the lowest
prices obtainable and has limited the
handling charge of local dealers, Will-
son, points out.
Where to Get Loans
The farmer whose stock is not mort-
gaged can obtain a loan from the Pro-
duction Credit Associations, the stock
being security for the loan. If the
security is not adequate, the farmer
can apply to the Farm Credit Admin-
istration for a loan.
The farmer with only a few head of
stock, insufficient to obtain a Farm
Credit Administration loan, can obtain
feed relief from the county ERA in the
form of cash for work performed or
in relief order form for which the
farmer voluntarily signs an agreement
to work out the amount of relief.
The farmer whose livestock is mort-
gaged must first obtain a non-disturb-
ance agreement from the mortgagee ef-
fective to Jan. 1, 1936, to prevent the
mortgagee from taking the stock or
any farm machinery necessary for
successful farm operations. Once the
farmer has obtained the agreement he
has no difficulty in obtaining a loan
if he has shown good faith in repaying
or attempting to repay previous gov-
ernment feed and seed loans.
The farmer feeding his livestock
through relief orders, however, under
no circumstances can obtain relief
in excess of $25 per month.
Farm Credit Administration cash
loans are based on the number of head
of livestock the farmer has. The farm-
er can get a maximum loan of $3 per
head per month for cattle and $4 per
head per month for horses. The farm-
er must give the FCA his personal
promissory note to repay.
Do Not Misuse Money
Much trouble in connection with
feed loans can be attributed to the fact
that some farmers instead of using
their cash loan to buy feed spent it on
automobiles, trips and other purposes
for which the money advanced them
was not intended.
In cases of this kind the county feed
loan committee has refused to approve
xUrther feed loans, Mr. Willson ex
Plained.

in loans from any one of the agen-
~zon ,=,_ _enumerated are in the same posi-

MOODIE'S MINNEAPOLIS REGISTRATION CARD
FOOTBALL GROUP

Sports Writers Want Grid In-
vestigation Group to Come
'~)ut With It"
New York, January ll.--To come
right out and say so the admirable
Carnegie Foundation reports on col-
lege football would be much more ad-
mirable if they contained fewer fine
phrases and glossy generalities, and
more first names.
I have before me an address deliv-
ered by Dr. Howard W. Savage of the
Foundation to the sportsmanship broth-
erhood yesterday, and it is a fine ex-
ample of what I'm driving at. This
paragraph, for example,:
"Some institutions that once seemed
to be making notable progress toward
clean sport have wavered from their
course. Others that once had good
records have forfeited them. Still
others have continued and even i~ten-
sifted their shady practices."
Who are the rascals, Doctor? Name
the scamps! Bring the backsliders and
the sinners out on the sawdust, Doc-
tor, and let the country have a look at
'em. And, along with the names of
the erring schools, bring all the other
data the Foundation must have gath-
ered during its years of investigation.
I don't think I'm alone in my curios-
ity as to the school which pays the
best salaries for swivel-hipped half-
backs, the one which furnishes the
softest jobs to left-handed passers, and
the one which can line up the softest
course for a 200-pound tackle who can
give and take it 60 minutes every Sat-
urday.
What ~s the highest price ever paid
for an end? A guard? A fullback?
How many players on how many
elevens can't read or write? Do run-
ning guards get better pay than ordi-
nary guards? What schools are
blessed with the most athletic scholar-
ships? And which are the institutions
who, as you said in your talk of yes-
terday, "have clung steadfastly to that
which is good .often in the face of the
greatest disappointments"?
I say drag 'era out, saints and sin-
ners. It would make swell reading
and would be very helpful to parents
of promising athletes. On yesterday
I was talking to the father of a young
man who, during his four years of
high school, had flung his six-foot
three. 193-pound frame at opposing
tackles with much success. The father
wanted to know if I knew any college
which would exchange four years of
education for his son's ability to take
out ends, go down under punts and
play a hell of a game of tackle in gen-
eral.
I refused to help, not because I
didn't know of any prospective trad-
ers, but because I was afraid of send-
ing the boy to X where he could get
only tuition, a few dollars of spending
money each week and a double room,
when he might easily get tuiti0~i, a
fistful of spending money, and an out-
side room with two-way ventilation
at Z. If you would publish all your
facts, Doctor, it would be a great help.
Furthermore, if the Foundation
wishes to end the evils of recruiting
and subsidizing as well as expose
them, the newspapers offer the best
medium. For example: as things are
now the team that wins the national
championship gains columns of praise
and more columns of pretty pictures.
If, however, the country, through the
Foundation and the press, knew that
five men on the line of the national
champions, and two of the backs, were
out and out hired hands, well over the
college age, and barely making out in
the easiest of studies, what respect an¢I
admiration do you think the cham-
pions would eommand? I'll tell you.
None. They'd get no credit for lick-
ing schools that ran their athletics oa
a sensible plane, and soon they
wouldn't draw at the box-o~lce. And
the minute they stopped drawing at
the box-office they'd come clean.
Do you think college B would re-
ceive any prize for whipping college R
if it was known that B recruited from
Alaska to Pensacola while R playe~
only bonaflde students?
Line 'era up, Dr. Savage. Let us
know which are the goats and which
are the sheep.
