Collection From July Th
During the period July, 1958 -December,
1958, 'the Duplin Cou
nty Farmers Home Administra

on operating loans of $219,919.
Of this amount, $214,946 plus in
terest was collected for a col
lection percentage of 97. At the
end of December, there were only
four operating loan borrowers de
linquent and these were due to
crop failures. All real estate pay
ments coming due by this date
were made on schedule for zero
delinquencies.
Loans made for this period
were as follows: Operating loans
- 51 for $112,140, Farm Owner
ship loans - 3 for $47,825, Farm
Housing loans - 4 for $39,400. The
total loans to be made for the
second six months period which
will be approximately twice that
shown above.
The number of borrowers for
each type of loan as of Decem
ber 36, 1958 is as follows. Ope
rating loans - 75, Farm Owner
ship loans - 61, Farm Housing
loans - 23, and one soil and Wa
ter Loan. As of December 31,
1958, we had on hand 22 operat
ing loan applications, 16 Farm
ownership applications and 2
Farm Housing applications. In
keeping with the FHA objective
of graduating borrowers to com-
rercial sourses of credit, we hf.d
operating loan borrowers and
7 Farm Ownership borrowers to
re-finiance their FHA indebted
ness.
At the present time, FHA loans
in Duplin County represent ap
proximately one million dollars.
The major portion of this money
was used to purchase farms, de
