Green sprouting- broccoli has
become very popular especial

Grazing Reduces
Poultry Costs
W. N. Knight, Negro county a
gent for the Agricultural Exten
sion Service, offered some good
poultry tips recently to farmers
in his area. Knight says "The
growth and performance of poul
try flocks often depend on the
kind of care and management the
j birds receive. The better the
range management, the greater
are the returns."
The Negro county agent says
that many poultrymen often fail
because of these: (1) Poor qual
ity of chicks to start with, (2)
poor, or no equipment at all a
vailable to carry out t ehwork,
<3) failure to keep a quality mash
before the birds at all time, (4)
improper brooding quarters. (5)
improper ventilation, (6) a poor
sanitation program and a lack of
proper poultry - raising informa
atlon.
Knight ssays sanitation cut
down disease and suggested
these pointers to good poultry
production: <l> Don't overcrowd
your birds, especially during the
hot summer months; provide one
square foot of floor space per
chck for future layer sand three
fourths square foot for broilers,
<2t use a light litter and keep
it flry, clean and deep: use. wire
or slat platforms under water
ers, (3> build drinking fountains
with mash hoppers so the chicks
can't perch on them; have the
rim of the hoppers and water
founts as high as their vent to.
prevent fouling with droppings,
< 4> have the house bird-tight,

Allowable Rate
Of GI Loan
Interest Hiked
In announcing an increase from
4 per cent to 4'4 per cent In the
maximum allowable Interest on
GI loans guaranteed by the Ve
terans Administration after May
5, 1953, Administrator of Veter
ans Affairs ?arl R. Gray, Jr. said
It is the opinion of VA that the
increased rate will attract len
ders to the loan program.
This should result, he continu
ed, in making housing more read
ily available to World War II and
Korean veterans under the liber
al- terms of the GI Bill. ?
The 4% per cent rate will ap
ply, Gray said, to GI farm and
business loans as well as home
loans. Although the bull, (more
than 90 per cent) of GI loans
made are for the purchase or con
struction of homes, VA noted that
more than 200,000 veterans have
obtained GI business loans, and
another 65,000 veterans have
made GI loans for farming pur
poses.
The new rate, VA stressed, will
have no effect on the more than
3% million GI home, farm and
business loans already made, to
date.
The increase in the allowable
interest rate on GI loans conin
cided with a similar Increase to
4%. per cent In the interest rate
on FHA Insured home mortgages.
The increase, Gray said, was ap
proved by the Secretary of the
Treasury, as required by law.
The head of the Veterans Ad
ministration pointed out that VA
has held the 4 per cent rate as
long as it could in order to secure
housing for veterans at the low
est possible cost. He stressed that
general increases In interest rates
have resulted in a drying-up of
the supply of 4 per cent money,
making it increasingly difficult
for veteran* to secure ho.r.es on
keeping flying' birds and flies out,
and ((5) use a clean range.

that basis.
V e t e r a n s themselves, Gray
said, are the best insurance len
ders can have of the safety of
these GI loans. He pointed with
pride to the outstanding record
made by GI borrowers. He said.
"Of more than 3,000,000 home
loans made to veterans under
the GI Loan Guaranty program,
about 370,000, or more than 12
per cent, have been paid off in
full. VA has had to make good
by paying a claim to the lender
in only one-half of 1 per cent of
the total home loan cases."
"We have been assured by the
loaning institutions of the coun
try that they will make ample GI
loans available to veterans at
the new rate." Gray added, "We
have reason to believe the new
rate will move lenders to be more
liberal with respect to down pay
ment and maturities."
The current estimate of 280
acres of spring beets in North
Carolina is expected to produce
70.000 bushels.
