fact, th. bank., the land banks and
private creditors are insisting that
farmers hold their wheat until it has
enough value to pay some of the
loans against it before it is put on
the market at all- Representative,
of some of the machinery companies
selling to farmers have expressed a
hope that farmers can hold their
crop until the price is such as to give
them some income above actual ex
penditure., showing that the general
attitude among farmers and their
creditor* is to wait until there is
some financial renumeration for all
in the crop before lotting it go out
of the farmers hand».

Cooperative Pou.try
Almost Unanimous
There seems to be a decided move
ment toward holding wheat for a
better price among the farmers of
Sherman county. 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
