Philip G. Murphy, assistant di- rector of the emergency crop and feed loan section of the Farm Credit ad- ministration, left Bismarck Monday night for Spokane, Wash., after a conference here with North Dakota employes of the FCA. Murphy, accompanied by J. C. Ea- ton of St. Paul, northwest director of the FCA crop loan section, declared his visit here and at other points where the FCA has regional head- quarters was purely a matter of get- ting acquainted with the section per- sonnel and the problems confronting American agriculture. Much of the misunderstanding which has existed in the past insofar as the farmer's concept of the FCA has been concerned, Murphy said, ‘was due solely to a lack of informa- tion as to the set-up itself. Thought Them Gifts “Many farmers believed the cash ‘advances made by the FCA were gifts or grants,” Murphy said. “They did not realize that these loans were business propositions enabling bor- rowers to continue their vocations as farmers and producers.

Interest Manifest In Memorial Drive Additional Contributions Swell Rogers Memorial Fund; Those Who Wish to Give Are Asked to Donate Quickly; High-Pressure Solicitation Banned Bismarck’s contribution to the Will Rogers memorial was increased to $93.50 Tuesday with announcement of additional donations. The money will go into a fund which is being raised throughout the nation for the purpose of creating a memorial or memorials to the cowboy humorist, philosopher and friend of the average man. : Both the state and national committee made it plain that the number rather than the size of the donations is the impor- tant. thing and that the fundamental aim of the memorial drive is to give every American an opportunity to show his affection for Will Rogers by contributing something toward his memo- rial. What will be done with the money will be determined after it is raised by a special committee which includes in its mem- bership such. men as Vice President John N. Garner, former President Herbert Hoover and Henry Ford. Assurances from this group are that the memorial will be of the “living” kind and not one of bronze or stone. No Gift Too Small and None Too Large No contribution is too small and, of course, none is too large. The people are asked to give in the realization that by so doing they will perpetuate the Ca a cabs aaa a da clam aaa!
