IF YOU WOULD KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON AROUND YOU HEAD TH* PERSON COUNTY TIMES—IT IS A PAPER FOR ALL THE PEOPLE OP PERSON AND ADJOINING COUNTIES. VOLUME VUL Seed Loan Available This Year For Farmers Who Need Money Fanner Must First Show That He is not Eligible for Credit - Through a Production Credit Association Loans Will be Made Primarily to Help the Small Farmers Seed loans will be available once again for farmers who need the money |for crop production. The seed loan office will begin taking applications for loans on Monday, Feb. 22nd. Applications may be made at the seed loan office in the Courthouse in Roxboro. The seed loan act was passed by Congress in record breaking time making these loans available for) farmers earlier than ever before. This will enable the farmers to get their money early, buy their fertilizer early and thus get the ‘ benefit of cheaper prices on their fertilizer. The regulations require that be fore a loan can be granted a farmer must first show that he is not eli gible for credit through a produc tion credit association or any other leading agency. He must also show that he is not a Standard Rehabi litation Client. In this act it was set forth that these loans are primarily to help the little farmer who can not secure credit from any other agency. To aid the farmer even more the rate of interest has been cut to 4%. It is also interesting to note that Person and Granville Counties have the highest collection per centage of any territory in the state. Congressman Frank Hancock was very active in getting this seed loan act passed to help the farmers. o GRADES OF BUSHY FORK ENJOY DAY All Grades Have Valentine Par ty or Some Form of Amusement First grade A: Two of the grade mothers, Mrs. Ewing Long and Mrs. Joseph Oliver entertained the first grade children in Mrs. C.

This is not quite as much tobacco as was sold here last season, but is considered very good due to the fact that not as much tobacco was raised this season as last season. The price average is standing right on top with the leaders. All of the averages from other mar kets have not been obtained, but the Roxboro average is a splendid one. This market always makes a good average. Warehousemen are very optimis tic about the 37-38 season.
