IMPORTANT INFORMATION
TO WATAUGA FARMERS t
K. M. Hamilton county farm i
agent. calls attention to the fact that [ n
the emergency crop anri feed loan s
office of the Farm Credit ad minis- g
tration is endeavoring in every way c
possible to take care of the finan- 1
cial needs of - he farmers in this i
county for the p'. -pose of producing 1
iheir crops in all cases where the r
farmer is unable to secure financial l
resistance from other sources in- 1
eluding the Production Credit assa- \
ciation. 1
The sole object of the government
in making these loans available is i
to render a serv ice to such farmers 1
who might need financial assistance \
but for certain reasons arc unable J
to procure this assistance through j
the local Production Credit associa- :
tion. and yet without assistance i
would be unable to adequately carry ?
en their farming operations. I
These loans arc in no sense a relief
measure, but are made where
there is a reasonable expectation
that the crops to be planted will be ;
sufficient to repay the loan and take .
care of the needs of the borrower
and his family. These loans are
secured by a first lien on the crops
to be planted.
Applications for these loans are
being accepted by Miss Louise Mast
at the emergency crop and feed loan
office in Boone.
