Lost Springs, Wyo., vice president;
1 W. A. Nelson, Yankton, S, D., vice

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.

,.£an"Vl Clty Report—Heavy rains
reii in the southeast and south central
parts of Kansas, and from three to seven
inches of snow occurred in the southwest
counties, but the fall of moisture In the
two northern tiers of counties whs light.
>ilght temperatures were scarcely below
rreezing except In the extreme western
counties, where readings close to zero oc
curred.
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.
