Almost no selling of wheat has been going on up to thia date and while farmers are al ways interested in the price of wheat they are not selling at present prices. Nearly every farmer who belongs to the cooperatives is .taking advan tage of the facilities of the North Pacific to borrow money on his grain as soon as it it hauled to the ware- house. He is permitted to borrow 75 per cent of the value of the wheat at five per cent interest. There is a movement to allow far mers to borrow the entire market value of wheat from the Reconstruc tion Finance Corporation, but so far, no loans haye been made in. this county on that basis- When it will be possible to do so, or even whether or not it will even be possible is not known in this county at the present time- There 1» * marked disposition on the part of creditors of farmer, to SEXTON MAKES GOOD 1 accounting department.” And he I* I nearly a million acres ever the area atiH uncertain as to just what was j harvested in 1931.
