RURAL CREDITS LAW INVESTI
GATED BY LAND BOARD.
Funds Will Be Provided At Once By
Investment of $30,000; First
Issue Over Million.
The first loans under the recently
enacted rural credits law will he
available between March 15 and April
1. Within the first year it is esti
mated bv the state land board thut
between "$1,000,000 and $1,500,000 it
bonds will be available, according to
the board, which held a meeting W
nesday to discuss the operation of the
act.
The board decided that of the bond
issue of any one year, 10 per cent
will be in five-year bonds, 10 per eent
in ten-year bonds, and the remainder
in long term bonds. To raise nKHWV
at once for the loans, State Treasurer
Kay is authorized to invest &O.W.)
of the state industrial accident com
mission fund at par in the five-yeai
bonds. The object in investing th
state's money in the bonds is that
it is conceded the five-year issue will
not prove so attractive to bond buy
ers. The long term bonds are to be put
on the open market and are expected
to bring a premium.
The loans will be made through the
state land board's attorneys but the
administration of the rural credits
funds and the school funds will be
separate even to the stationery in or
der that the administrative expense oi
each may be figured entirely indepen
dent of the other.
When the board deems it advisable
it will appoint a board of appraisers
whose duty it will be to examine
properties upon which loans are made
and who will give particular men
tion to the us to which the loan is
put Under the law the uses to which
the" money is put are bound by cer
tain restrictions.
The board is now working on
blanks for mortgages and other forms
which will be used.

One of the licenses went to Captain

men, various dairyman of the north

As judges of the exhibit, the fol

ton State college; cheese section, P..
L. Locas, of the Oregon Agricultural
college; milk and cream sections, C
F. Hoyt. of Salt Lake City, milk spec
ialist of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
An important feature of tbe pro
eram will be tbe demonstrations of
butter-making processes by which it
is hoped to bring about tbe desired
commercial utility of Oregon butter.
According to Mr. Freyart, butter is
already being produced in this state
at less cost than in the east and mid
dle west, and should shortly become
an export of great economic value.
"Butter is being sold in New York'
City for 10 cents ami a, jwtna tfcaaf; -it'
brines on the market here," he said
yesterday. "The cost of shipping but-,
ter for tbe Xew York market is only
three and a half cents a pound. But
it cannot be collected into carload lota
and shipped with any advantage, be-.
cause of the lack of uniformity in
composition, salting and packing. To.
make butter a product for the east
ern market, its manufacture must be
standardized in alj of these respeeta,
This is what we bops to encourage
through the coming dairy products'
show."
A number of experts have, been
scheduled to speak on various prob
lems of the dairyman, including steri
lization and care of utensils, pasteur
ization, neutralization and refrigera
tion.
A meeting of interest to housewives
will be held on the evening of March
2, when Miss Jessie M. Hoover, pro
fessor of home economics of the Uni
versity of Idaho, will make an address
on the food value of dairy products.
Professor 0. U McKay, of Chicago,
will deliver an address during the
meeting on "Needed Oleo Legisla
tion." It is expected that tbe various ex
hibits e 1 "ct a
larre number of northwest dairymen.
and arrangements have been made to
allow special fare tickets on all rail
road lines. One and one-third fare
will be charred for round trips to all
dairymen attending the meetings.
