New C-H Program To
Be Offered Farmers
The corn-hog program for 1936-37
is designed to encourage soil-improvement
and to stabilize the production
of corn and hogs for the
best interests of the grower and the
Consumer.
The need for building up the soil
is now greater than for increasing
the planting of focd ahd feeel crop?,
said \V. W. Shay, swine speciahsl at
State College.
The new contracts sUpulaift thai
lar.ii ivtireo from corn cultivation
raus'. he planted to soli-building or
orcsion-ptvventing- crops, pasturage,
trees or the ike. Sliay stated.
And this TOjist be in addition to the,
iai'.ii normally us id for such purposes,
he emphasized.
Ir. Uv? past, he adJed, the production
of hogs lias fluctuated vi'Wely.
Either a surplus or a shortage of
pork is un.h sirai.de, and the program
will tend to keep production in
Una with .'spsuhapiion.
A may agree id adjust his
corn production next year by 10 to
30 per cent, of his base an<l receive \
a:i adjustment payment, of :ii> Coal';
a bushel on the average yleid of the
land taken out of corn
To receive the maximum hog payment,
the grower must raise not icss
?-t -
iuu.il ok) per cent, nor more than 100
per cent of his market base. The
payment will be 25 for each hoe
in liis market baae.
Under certain conditions, a grower
may sign to adjust hte corn crap
and keep his hog production the same
or to adjust his hog' production ands
keep his corn crop at the same level.
In iS>37 the adjustment and payments
will be similar to these in
1036, the exact rate to be announced
later by the Secretary of Agriculture.
The new contracts will be. ready in
the next few weeks. Shay added.

Credit Associations
Save Farmers' Money
Production credit association loans,
jc&ring a low rate of interest, have
enabled many North Carolina farm:rs
to save money during the past
ve'ar.
The interest on these loans is five
tor cent, a year, said Dean I. O. '
Schaub, of State College, who point >i
out that buying on long-term creiit
often adds from 10 to 40 per cent,
o the cost of the goods.
'File production credit associations
veto established to provide loans at,
o\v cost to farni, rs who run short
kf cash and would otherwise have to
inancc their farming operations at ;
ligh interest rates. The associations
Lie farmer-owned and controlled.
Another advantage of borrowing
if ugh the associations is that a j
arnu r may secure his lean in install- [
ncnts as he needs them nnvini
1 ir?'j?mo "
crest on each installment only for,
he time he actually uses the money.
For example, a farmer may bor- j
ov; $1,000. In the spring he may re- j
cive an advance of $300 on which
ic will pay interest for nine months.;
Three months later he may receive
mother $300 on which interest is to ;
)e paid for siv months. The remain-'
rig- .$400, received at harvest time,!
vould bear interest for oiily one; j
uonlh.
Tri this way the lota! interestj
could amount to $20.41, as compared |,
vith $38.50 he would pay if the en- j
ire loan had been issued In one in- i
talimeht to bear interest for nincj .

IS. F. Warner, secretary-treasurer 1
>f- the Raleigh Production credit asociation,
pointed out that his as30aation
loaned $270,000 to approxi- ,
natcly 1,000 farmers in 1935. Pracically
all the loans have been paid
