tressed farm families for such
things as seed, livestock, tertilizer,
equipment and other supplies need
ed tor making a crop, with one to
live years in which to repay. A
longer term is allowed on items
like mules and equipment. Tliis
makes il possible lor the farmer
to reestablish himself and to avoid
selling his food and feed crops at
the end of the first year to pay
his debts, as was the case under
the crop-lien, time-merchant, sys
tem which in many instances has
contributed to distressed condi
tions,” Mr. Swift said.
'I’he farmer gets the “rehab”
loan money and spends it with
ihe local merchant of his own
choic-e, or w'herever he can buy
to best advantage.
Selection .of Families
Responsibility for the selection
of families is placed in the hands
of voluntary county advisory com
mittees, who have a practical
knowledge of local conditions, and
are better able than anyone else
to make the selection, rln passing
upon the qualifications, not only
need, but character .and willingness
to work are considered. Usually the
rehabilitation client has no tan
gible asset; if it is considered
that he will respond well to super
vision that can be given him plus
his willingness to work will justify
his selection.
If they make good, rehabilitation-
in-pl.ace clients who are now ten
ants may become eligible for homes
of their own, as worthy tenants
are among those who will be con
sidered for farmsteads under rural
resettlement, another phas'C of the
Resettlement Administration pro
gram.
