The farmer who has no automobile or no radio set
today, is at a disadvantage in selling his produce.
His car is invaluable in getting him abound, and into
town, without taking all day. But his radio set is
even more useful, per dollar invested, because with
it he or his family can sit down at home and “listen
in” on the market reports and the crop or weather
predictions, and then he can shape his whole selling
plans in the full knowledge of what the market of-,
fers at different national market centers at the clos
ing hour of each day. /
The farmer needs his radio and it is good business
investment to have a radio in the home. Atwater
Kent radio sets are listed by thousands of Atwater
the most desired radio set of all
Kent otoñe:
The amazing popularity of the Atwater Kent radio
is built upon its wide range of selectivity, its persist
ent efficiency day after day, and its reputation for
all-round performance.

governor and the legislators that
prompted the pasage of an act pro
viding a maximum amount of $1,250,-
000 to become available for making
loans to those wheat farmers of the
state who would be compelled to re
seed the winter-killed acreage in the
spring. That much more of this fund
than was borrowed within the county
was not required was because of the
fact many resident and non-resident
landlords came forward and made
(their lessees seed loans. Onto land
owner is known to have loaned more
*thnn $20,000 to tenant farmers.
There was no doubt more than a
quarter-million dollars expended for
seed wheat for reseeding within the
county. And this was little more than
half the expense of the jreseeding
operations required, as much addi
tional feed, hired help, seed treating
material and repair part# for imple
ments and machinery required.
The situation appeared quite
gloomy enough at one timd, but in
Sherman' county there was no time
lost “crying oyer spilled milk” and
the farmery bankers and business
men were soon found to be 100 P«r
eht putting their shoulders to the
vheels looking toward the reseeding
aperations. Adveraa conditions .Md
oeen experienced In this highly re
sourceful county before, intermin
gled with the usual prosperity. Out
side bankers and business men com
ing her« »t the time to ook the
situr.tfon over (were unmistakably
alarmed, but not so the local pboplaa.
In due time every acre of the win
ter-killed area was well conditioned
and reseeded to good varieties of
spring grain and a fairly good yield
of the fifiest milling quality wheat
was realized at harvest time. Fair
to good prices for such of the crop as
has been sold to date——about 60 per
c<nt—have been realized, and as a
reult the county is in much better
shape generally than at any time dur
ing the past four years. The state
and the privately made seed loans
were repaid first and then the local
bankers and business men received
more substantial payments on note»
and accounts than they have been
able to realize for a number of year».
Altho the county is not yet in the
best possible sha^e financially, there
is evidenced everywhere an easier
feeling than has prevailed h«re since
the close of the year 1921. The
period of deflation and readjustment
following the world war, altho a very
trying experience for wheat farmers,
tankers and business men of v the
county, has not passed without'hav
ing left its good and valuable lesson».
Milk and cfeam cans, chicken coope
end egg cases are nqw to be seen
daily about the railway station«
thruout the county, more than at
any tim» for some years past, are
good evidence that local farmer» have
become. more »elf reliant and more
able to help. themselv«a along toward
real and lasting prosperity. The ^act
that moat wheat farmer» are now
making from by-producta from their
land their »pending money, instead
of calling upon their banker» from
time-to-time thruout the year for
small cash advances, is a most thrifty
sign indeed. It is also noted that
many who ^formerly drove large and
expensive automobiles have recently
exchanged them for smaller cars,
which will require mueh less outlay
for upkeep and operation. It is
stated by good authority that there
are no arrears of payments under
federal and joint stock land bank or
state school fund loan« within the
county, abo that the Ideal banks have
been able to realise quite satisfactor
ily upon their heretofore rather slow
paper and that they were able early
in September to recapture all their
rediscount paper with federal reserve
and other helping banks.
The credit for the fact that all who
were in need of state aid funds for
the purchase of grain for reseeding
last spring were amply suppled with
the money in due time.whtie th« inter
este of tbe state in having it» seed
loan money- fully jrotected in the
way of safety of ultimate retilxation
by repayment were at ail time» care
