IVTEUKST I.N FA KM IA)X ACT
Farmers everywhere In Nebraska
and especially in the western half of
the state are showing a keen inter
est in the new federal farm loan act.
The new law offers cheap money
on long time, which will place the
borrower In western Nebraska on a
par with farmer friends farther east.
Up to the present, the farmer In the
Bund hills country has been compell
ed to pay high rates of Interest tho
the returns on money Invested In
land In western Nebraska yeilds
about, the same return as equal cap
ital in eastern Nebraska lands. With
the same security, therefore, the
western farmer id quite as good a
risk, and should not pay a higher
rate of Interest.
Tho no money can be borrowed
until the system Is In full operation,
which will probably be in February,
farmers are already working out
preliminaries for formation of loan
associations so that they will bo
ready to take advantage of the
cheap money as soon as It is availa
ble. A farmer who desires a loan
must make application In writing to
the federal land bank of the district
In which his prospective assolcatton
Is to be located. As soon as ten or
more applicants desire loans total
ling at least $20,000 a local farm
loan association can then be formed.
Further information and application
blanks for loans may be secured
from the agricultural extension serv
ice of the University of Nebraska.
Whenever possible, the service will
furnish speakers to explain
working of the new act.

'HEP HEPS" OF WYOMING
CONTAIN POTASH SALTS?
The Embar formation of Wyoming
is known chiefly for its extensive
phosphate beds, which are supposed
to have been derived in some manner
from animal remains. The rocks
contain abundant foaails, many of
which are phosphatic, and all of
which prove that the Embar beds of
western WyominK were deposited in
the sea. Recent study of the east
ward extension of the Embar forma
tiou in Wyoming shows that along
the east margin of this ancient sea
or throughout the Bighorn Mountain
region, the cl'mate was probably
more arid than that of any part of
Wyoming today. By long evapora
tion beds of gypsum were deposited
at some places in arms of this sea to
