, Out of so large a number,' seme
thousands are inevitably represent
ed by people who prove Irresponsi
ble' and who do not respect their
obligations., Even in normal times,
the large lending institutions have
to deal' with thousands of pieces
of property, on which they are ob
liged to foreclose in the course of a
year. The Home Owners' . Loan
Corporation cannot expect to es
cape, similar experiences.
The Corporation should encount
er no serious problem in dealing'
with such homes as it Is forced to
take over from delinquent bor
rowers. In nearly every section of
the country, real estate values are
rising. There Is already a growing
demand for properties which carry
the liberal 'type of mortgage made
by the Corporation, we are nna
w that th houses on Which we
have made loans command a more

The' Corporation? 'does not ' pro-

Indulging In a forced sale of pro

Every home owner who has a
loan from the Home Owners' Loan
Corporation has been helped out of
a difficult situation which threat
ened him with foreclosure. Each
loan made by the Corporation is a
long-term mortgage, bearing inter
est at a very low rate, enabling
the family to come into debt-free
home ownership through small pay
ments, actually lower than rent in
most cases, and averaging less
than S24 each month.
; The $2,700,000,000 of loans al
ready made by the Corporation re
presents over one-seventh of the
estimated urban home loan debt in
the United States. Some 83,000,
000000 of bonds of the Corpora
tion will shortly be outstanding as
a contingent liability of the Unit
ed States Government If funds for
payment of these bonds are , not
collected from the HOLC borrow
ers, the burden Would be thrown
upon the entire public, in the form

The Corporation has taken fore
closure proceedings against some
800 X properties, . representing, af

HOLC borrowers. This is Insignifi

lend institutions in the first five
months of 1935, according to re

the country's population. Moreover,

islation Big Factor In Increased
Prices.
Wllson, N. C, August 21st
The efforts of the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration, under
the guidance of Secretary of Agri
culture, Henry A. Wallace, and the
Chief of the Tobacco Section, J.
B. Hutson, through the cooperation
of the large tobacco manufactur
ing companies, 'brought io the to
bacco farmers of Eastern North
Carolina, and elsewhere the past
two seasons, much prosperity
through the average price paid for
all grades of tobacco bought by
both foreign and domestic buyers.
The Administration, during the
year of 1933, realizing the predica
ment of tobacco farmers were pla
ced by low prices they were receiv
ing for tobacco, the principal cash
farm commodity in many states of
the union, began work on a plan
decised to inevitably cause a rise
In prices, thus strengthening farm

Wilson. N. O, August 21st
Fifty-five thousand rarmers can't
be wrong! That's one way of look
ing at it. Then there's another
way. The average of the local to
bacco mart last year was 429.69.
The Wilson Market has its place
in the sun, and has a perfect right
in the opinion of experts, of being
called "The Largest Bright Leaf
Tobacco Market in the World."
And the local market, with Its
warehousemen, is not unmindful of
what these 55,000 tobacco farmers,
who can't be wrong mind you, have
done for the market here In the
past, and the warehousemen here
appreciate it. They appreciate the
fact that the confidence In the lo
cal market that these 55,000 farm
ers have shown in the past has
been the means of building the lo-
gather to talk of tobacco. The mar-
I ket here sends its tobacco all over
; make it the finest one of lt kind
1 anywhere. Bright, spacious build
ings with plenty of light courteous
attendants in those warehouses;
new fool proof scales; and more
added floor space that gives 'he
local market more floor space for
baskets than ever before.
Yes, Wilson deeply appreciates
what those 55,000 farmers have
done for it, and toward making it
what it is today, and wishes to
take this opportunity of thanking
the whole 55,000, each and every
one of them, personally.
