" Secretary Wallace - -
WASHINGTON, D: The first
official act of Secretary of '4gricuL
ture Wallace was to take' up thereon,
sideration of making loans to farmers
in drouth-stricken areas for the pur
chase of seed, for which purpose Con
Kress -recently,' appropriated $2,000,
000. The law states that the Secre
tary of Agriculture if authorised, for
the crop of 1921, to make advances
or loans, to farmers' in drouth-stricken
ar eas in" the United States where
he finds " that special ; need ,f or, "such
assistance exists f !or the purchase of
wheat,' oats, barley, and flaxseed for
seed purposes.''- 4 .'''"
Farmara ia Urgent Naed '
- It has been found that there is a
need for such loans to farmers ,in
western! Nerth. Dakota and 'parts of
Montana, where there was; serious
drouth last year. Farmers in. those
areas are reported to" be t in urgent
need of seed for spring planting, and
plans are being made with the least
possible delay by Secretary Wallace
to provide such farmers with money
at a low rate of interest for the pur
chase of grain and flaxseed. U - ;
Leon M. Estabrook, Chief of the
Bureau of Crop Estimates, has been
designated by. the Secretary to have
general supervision of the organisa
tion to make the Ioane, and C. W.
Warburton, of the Bureau'of Plant
Industry, has been put in charge of
the field organisation. These men
were in, charge- of4h,seed-grain loans
in the fall of 1918 and spring of 119
which were made available by a spec,
ial fund allotted for the purpose by
the President The Secretary has
also appointed an advisory committee
of which Mr. Estabrook is chairman
and of whlch.the ioDowing are Bm-f

opportunity of having its sewerage
system finished, but as nothing has
been done about this matter the

rangements shall be made. Mr.
