Finney County is the "white spot" of the southwest wheat belt this spring as far as agriculture and business conditions go, believes C. R. Jaccard, district Farm Bureau agent over 24 counties in the area. Jaccard was hero today in connection with the Farm Bureau membership campaign in this county. The membership drive for the Farm Bureau in Finney County went 40 percent over the goal, Jaccard said, with fully 100 more members than necessary to maintain the bureau.

Livestock men, generally are op- tlmlstlo in the county, the distriit agent declared with tho stock in fine fettle at the opening of the grazing season. Only about 15 farmers in the entire county have made application for seed loans through the department of agriculture Jaccard said. To date not a single one in this group to apply has been a member of the Farm Bureau, he pointed out. The four counties in the very corner of the state including Grant, Stanton, Morton and not so fortunate however, Jaccaard says. The district agent declared that the farm seed loan of the atruction Finance Corporation is a godsend to the farmers as they will be forced to depend on spring crops to tide them over next winter.

In several of the counties more than ten percent of the total number of farmers have applied for the loans, It was said. On The Upgrade Ft.

Humphreys, Hutchinson director in the group. Xeae) Newt-Herald Want Ada. Pittsburg, Kan. April A marathon musical contest may lack the thrilling finish of a horse race for the neutral hearer but it packs ever bit as big a wallop for Fort Scott high school's big orchestra: Yesterday that organization went into the final event of thu three- day interstate high school music contests at Pittsburg Teachers college here trailing Pittsburg high by a slender margin. When It was over the Joplin, orchestra had tucked away first place in the event but Fort Scott, in second place, was doing the shoutlrg.

That runner-up position gave Fort Scott a first place tie with Pittsburg, each boasting a grand total of 38 points. The tie was a perfect one with Fort Scott and Pittsburg each credited with seven firsts, six seconds and five thirds. Joplin took third place with 32 points. Springfield, and Neodesha, tied for fourth and fifth places with 23. The thirteenth annual event attracted more than 2,000 contestants.

Receipts applied on some mission aaala of las eoaietv Anyone who observes 'he increase In business the trend in real estate circles, the way cars, electric refrigerators, home furnishings and fixtures are being sold, and the general Improvement work In progress is convinced that things are on the upgrade.

The money that was hoarded, the resources that were "frozen," that people were hanging onto afraid of spending, "are now loosening up and getting Into circulation. "We're on the upgrade, and already we see the effect in prices steadily advancing," remarked a real estate man. "Of courso prices are still too low, but we are finding the stronger demand for farms and city realty Is being reflected in better prices. "But that is always the way. As soon as prices began to advance people want to buy.

And that Is just what is happening." It is significant, this statement made to The News today by S. Spangler, one of Hutchinson's best known men; and a large property owner and investor. "For the first time every house, I every building and every apart- 1 ment I own is now occupied," Mr. Spangler said. "I have had more calls and more Inquiries the past week than for months.

Every building Is now occupied." And here Is something else that It significant: Mr. Spangler, who It an extensive live stock breeder, added that he has sold all of hit I young bulls of the last yeai's crop, excepting two, And all were told at good prices, nont at a reduction of more than 10 par cent. That thowt a healthy condition in the live stock outlook. It shows a good demand for good stuff, and that the farmers are stocking up for diversified farming. The wheat debacle of 1031 32 may prove to have been a blasting In disguise to the farmers of Kansas.
