The Biggest Question
Good salesmen can make any fairly good article
seem attractive. But there's one essential question
every buyer should ask.
Do I get my share of the profits? Is it sold co-operatively?
When you can buy goods like John Deere,
Caterpillar and Killefer tractors and machinery, or
Crown, Hodgen-Brewster, Sperry and Co-op feeds,
or Dutch Boy paint, AND SHARE IN THE
PROFITS, there is no question about where to buy.
We give back the profits.

LOANS OFFERED TO
L
Ten-Month Period With 4
Perct. Rate Provided in
Federal Aid Plan.
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
has announced that, in accordance
with his recommendation, a $50,
000,000 wool lean program for wool
producers on their 1937 and 1938
production has been approved by
commodity credit corporation and
the president. The loans, which
are to be made available in accord
ance with tbe provisions of the ag
ricultural adjustment act of 1938,
are Intended particularly to aid
wool producers In marketing their
1938 clip.
The loans will be available to all
producers; including, under ap
proved regulations, producer-owned
pools. The loans on the principal
classes of wool will be made at
between 15 and 22 cents a pound
on a grease basis at Boston. The
loans are expected to average ap
proximately 17.5 to 18 cents pet
pound grease basis to producers,
era. The approved program au
thorizes loans on 250 million
pounds of wool. Producers may ob
tain loans on wool stored at east
ern and western concentration
points with approprlute differen
tials based on IJoslon. Loans will
bo made only after wool has been
classified and warehoused under
supervision of the commodity cred
it corporation.
Not Prlce-Fixlng
AAA officials emphasize that the
loan 1s not a prlce-flxlnc loan, but
a marketing loan designed to pro
tect wool producers against the
effect of unfavorable conditions in
tho wool Industry while tho 1938
clip is moving to market. They
snld study of tho wool sltuntion In
dicates that present wool prices
nro unduly depressed and that the
rut oh established would enable pro
ducers to mnrket their wool In nn
orderly manner nt better prices
than they would receive If they
hnd to sell all their wool at shear-
lug time.
In view of the current situation
In the wool producing and wool
manufacturing industry, the wool
loans are naturally on a substan
tially higher basis than would be
available to wool producers,
through their usual credit ' chan
nels. With these loans n wool pro
ducer can obtuln enough money
to pay his current expenses hnd at
tbe same time take advantage of
any better prices during the re
mainder of the marketing sea
son. Loan for 10 Months
The loans nre to he made for a
ten-month period, with the (inul
maturity date set at May 31, 1939.
Tho loans will bear Interest nt
four por cent and will bo without
recourse.
Although loans will bo made for
a ten-month period, producers may
sell the wool nl any time hv repay

Of course wo know a turkey

Hut a turkey Is not made like a

LEGUMES ALONE NOT
SAFE SOIL HOLDER
Legumes form a valuable part of
almost any soil-conserving pro
gram, but they should not bo re
garded as a cure-all for boII ero

chief agronomist of the Boil con
servation service. Pure secdlngs
of leguminous plants have been
found at soli conservation experi
ment stations to be considerably
less effective for erosion control
than mixtures of legumes and
grasses.
Enlow points out further that not
nil legumes are good soil-binders.
Soybeans, for example, have " a
