Mr. Cathro came to North Dakota in 1884. After staying in Grand Forks county three years he went to Bottineau, at that time beyond the railroad, and home- steaded in the most westerly survey- ed township in the United States. He hauled the first. load of wheat from his homestead to Bottineau with a four-ox team. He was county su- perintendent of education in the early days, and deputy state superintendent from 1889 to 1892, when he returned to Bottineau to help organize the bank with which he has been con- nected since that time. Mr. Cathro has long been a worker: in the farmers’ interests. - He was the first president and one of the prime organizers of the state bank- ers’ association, and later was a mem- ber of the committee of that organ- ization which in 1906 made the famous investigation and discovery that Min- nesota elevators were shipping out twice or three times as much high- grade wheat as they were buying on the market. The director general of the bank also was one of the original members of the Equity. Still, some of the anti-farmer politicians call that “carpet-bagging.” LAND VALUATION GREATEST TASK Despite the accomplishments of the bank to date, much more is to be done. This question was put to Mr. Cathro: “What is the biggest task facing the bank today?” He answered by pointing out that already the bank has nearly 500 ap- plications for farm loans that run to almost $2,000,000. “The biggest job we have yet to do is to find some absolutely satisfactory method of examining the value of land offered as se- curity that will expedite the prog- ress of the loans,” Mr. Cathro observed. “We are pushing the work with every means at our disposal as rapidly as - circum- stances permit. We expect to complete a large number of these loans within 30 days. “We have adopted the policy of holding every loan within 50 per cent of the value of the property. The delay that ‘occurs is' incident to the determination of the size of the loan to be granted. We have plans now for changes that will greatly quick- en this process so that eventually there will be practically no'delay for the borrower. Field men are now checking up the wérk of the county boards of appraisal. . “This problem will be solved short-- ly. The number of applications that have piled up in this short time should demonstrate to any one's satisfac-: tion the need there was for the bank. We have done much; there is: much more to do. For example, we have yet to obtain some thoroughly sat- isfactory system of providing for the _safety of grain loans—that is, loans made on grain held on the farm. The local banks can be-of great as-- sistance_ there by rediscounting the -paper. - The mill and T ation, too, has pl which: will ‘help ' sol -in stock the first day. “It must be Temembered that we . opened the bank for deposits only on July 28, and there are many points that have yet to be worked out be- -cause ‘conditions over which we have no control are involved.” Mr. Waters declared that the six months of the bank’s operation had demonstrated two things; that he wondered “how they had been -able to get through the task of organiza- tion in ‘such a short time,” and-that “if there ever was any doubt in any one’s mind about the necessity for the _Bank of North Dakota, he should in- vestigate some of the demands that are being made upon it today—some of them impossible because they arise - through- problems that will take some months to work out.” s BANK FACES DEMANDS OF THE ENTIRE STATE “The situation is something like that which a farmers’ store, organ- ized up in the northern part of the state, once faced,” he said. “There was much enthusiasm over the insti- tution, with one exception. An old lady, on the day the store opened, appeared with an order that would | have made the oldest and biggest de- partment store in Chicago hump to fill it. She was disappointed because the store didn’t carry all those things Yet if she were to go into that place now, they could fill her order without exception. They’ll get her a threshing machine if she wants it. “Now, when the store opened,: it faced that old lady’s accumulated de- mands of several weeks. We are much in the same position.. We are facing the accumulated demands of | the whole state right in a, bunch. And we are able to meet most of them, but there are .some exceptions. In time, however, as these problems come. up we- will have machinery ready to meet them. = While there are some details yet to be worked out, it is only because there is a limitation on human foresight and control over the future.” ; SWEET CLOVER Sweet clover may be used in North Dakota in about the same manner as alfalfa. Its main uses will be for pasture and for hay. Less important will be its use for silage, green manur- ing and seed production. Sweet clover will produce valuable pasture, es- pecially for cattle, sheep and horses. The plant will bé less valuable than .alfalfa for hay and probably better as a silage plant. ; As seed production is always cer- tain there will not be large regions looking to other regions for a seed supply, as with' alfalfa. Each dis- trict will grow its own seed to a con- siderable extent..—NORTH DAKOTA -AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
