Johnston, * Sheffield, la., president; C. C. Bowell, Lost Springs, Wyo., vice president; 1 W. A. Nelson, Yankton, S, D., vice president. The resolutions follow; Whereas, Recent preee dispatches have suggested that therp may be opposition to confirmation by the United States sen ate of the appointment of M. h. Corey as member of the federal farm loan board, i ♦ and. Where**, The published statement upon this subject contained unwarranted and unjustifiable innuendo with reference to Mr. Corey, and. Whereas, The recesa appointment of Mr. Corey to this very important position was made by the late President Hardin* entirely without solicitation on the part I of Mr. Corey, and. Whereas. Mr. Corey wa* selected a* a member of the federal farm loan board I because of his exceptional ability and thorough knowledge of the federal farm loan system and because of his sympa thetic understanding of the co-operative agricultural credit needs of the United States, and. Whereas. Mr. Corey, a* part and parcel of Vhe federal farm loan system, since it commenced operation In the year 1917, ha*, by his unfailing loyalty and tireless energy, contributed more to the develop ment of the system than any other one mi connected with it, now, therefore, oe it Resolved by this body that Mr. Corey be and hereby Is unanimously and whole heartedly endorsed for the position of member of the federal farm loan hoard, In order that he may continue to devote hfs extraordinary talents to the further betterment of the farni loan system and to the continued development of the struc ture x>f Intermediate credits, which has been eo ably administered under the per sonal supervision of Mr. Corey since the inclusion of the intermediate credits system In the federal farm loan act. Be it Further Resolved. That It Is the • sense of this association that Mr. Corey, by his courageous and loval service, and at considerable personal sacrifice, se cured necessary, important and Invalu able amendments to the federal farm loan act; and that, while these amend ments were opposed at the outset, and while Mr. Corey was practically single handed initiating these amendments for the betterment of the system. yet. through his acknowledged sincerity and , tireless efforts, he won practically unani mous nupport for the worthy - cause of agriculture, which he represented. Be It Further Resolved. That Mr. Corev. as a member of the farm loan board, has already demonstrated that he is capable and eager to continue to serve the best Interests of agriculture through out the United States as a member of the federal farm loan board. Inasmuch ss he has made It possible for the federal intermediate credit bank to function efficiently to the extent that millions of dollars have alread.' been Inane,] to the farmers of»the United States under his able direction, and it would be a distinct. Irreparable loss to the cause of ro-on*ra tive agricultural credit, both with respect to farm Rian credits and Intermediate credits. If Mr. Corey docs not continue to serve as a member of the federal farm loan board. Be it Further Resolved. That copies of these resolutions be sent to each United States senator of the several states of the Kirhth Federal Band Bank district, comprising Town. Nebraska. South Dako ta and Wyoming.

Hulking of corn and other farm work made excellent headway as a result of the favorable weather, except in the ex treme southeast counties. where fields were too wet most of the time as a re sult of the heavy rains, and in the west ern portion where the moisture left by the snow when It melted kept the fann ers out of the fields the fore port of the week. Nearly all corn Is liusked In the eaatern half of the state and about 75 per cent of It has been gathered In the western hulf. The moisture content of the grain is high, but it has uot suf fered actual damage on account of the prolonged wet weather. Wheat general ly has a good color. In the southeast • nun lie* some of it Is yellow on account or too much rain and there are com plaints of damage by fly In a great many north central and northwestern counties, but as yet these conditions are not a menace to the bulk of the crop. It has stooled well and Is still furnishing good winter pasture. Washington, D. C.t Direct an dimmed! ate relief for Germany is imperative on account of dangerous food shortage in uermany, it was declared on behalf of Secretary Mellon. Refusal of France to permit priority over reparations payment has made food loan impossible. Secretary Mellon says that Inasmuch as American banks cannot advance monev on account of the attitude of France di rect charity is necessary as a famine re lief measure. OMAHA CARLOT SALES. „ WHEAT.
