owned while 15,273 or 54 per cent
were not owned by occupants.
But through the Federal Housing
Administration money is avanauie

institutions, building supply dealers
and Crop Production Credit Associations
This is not a borrowing program.
Those who can pay cash for
repairs and modernization should by
all means do it Through December
?'-l 71,000,000 was spent making new
repairs and cn modernization work of
which amount 03 per cent was for
cash. Only one out of every six dollars
is borrowed.
Any Owner Eligible
Any property owner is eligible for |
a modernization credit loan, provided
he owns liis property leven with incumbrances),
his income is five times
the amount of his annual payment of
notes and his credit is in good standing.
In the case of farmers, payments
are ma le annually or semi-annually.

States government insures the fir.anUMl

ins agency 20. per cent against loss
[of the aggregate' amount of loans
: made during the five-year period. The
highest loss ever sustained by financial
institutions making similar loans
lias hern 3 per cent. The margin of
guarantee made by the United States
Government, therefore, makes this a
100 per cent guarantee against loss.
Among the many things that can
be done ivitli modernization credit
money includes installing a water system
of pump and motor, roofing,
painting, installing heating plants,
adding- bath rooms or making sanitary
improvements, screening porches,
adding another room or two, building
tourist cabins, litter feeds, hay
tracks, silos, incubators, storage vats,
windows, doors, garages, etc.
Rat-Proofing
How many farmers know that every
rat on his place is eating or destroying
$2.00 worth of his grain every
year? This destruction can be
stopped now by building rat proof
flooring for grann'eries and cribs,
which will ultimately save hundreds
of dollars. How many farmers know
that there is an annual loss of $1,000,000,000
in rust. These of non-corrodible
materi. Is in roofing repair, replacement
of pipes and fixtures is
suggested as a means of overcoming
losses from rust and corrosion. Many
farmers throughout our State are
spending from $1,000 to $2,000 everv
r'ht years on farm implements, all
which can be saved by building
machine shops.
The F H. A. is urging farmers to
make either homes more attractive,
more livable and more convenient for
their families by using the Federal
Housing modernization credit loans.
MERCHANTS MEETING
The thirty-third annual convention
of the North Carolina Merchants Association
will be held in Charlotte on
June 3-4. with six members of the
North Carolina General Assembly and
