SECTION ONE—
Farm Storage Loan Program Extended:
Through June 1955 ASC Office Reports :
Loans Are Available For
Space and Equipment
Through Committee
Due to the urgency of the storage
situation that will be facing grain
farmers at harvest time this year, the
U. S. Department of Agriculture has
extended the availability of farm stor
age facility and farm storage equip
ment loan programs through June 30,
1955, says J. M. Price, Chowan Coun
ty ASC Office Manager.
These loans which are available now
through ASC County Committees are
designed to help farmers throughout
the State obtain the storage needed
for the anticipated big supplies of
grain to be stored this summer and
fall.
Under these loans, farmers and othr
ers can borrow a large part of the
cost of additional storage space and
drying equipment to provide addition
al farm storage and vital condition
ing equipment for small grains.
Any farm owner-operator, tenant,
landlord, or producer partnership is
eligible to participate in the programs.
Application for a loan may be made
at the County ASC office. Loans may
be obtained on storage for wheat,
corn, oats, rye, barley, soybeans, grain
sorghums, peanuts, and cottonseed.
Farmers can borrow up to 80 per
cent of the cost of new storage bins,
cribs, or other approved storage struc
tures, but not over 45 cents per bush
el of capacity. The structure must
meet requirements for storage under
the price support program. The loar.
can be paid off over a 4-year period.
The first installment is payable 12
months after the loan is disbursed.
Interest on the loan is at a rate of 4
per cent per year. During 1953 two
loans were made in Perquimans Coun
ty, covering structures with a Capacity
of approximately 29,750 bushels.
Up to 75 per cent of the delivered
and assembled cost, exclusive of labor
cost, of storage equipment to keep
stored grain in proper condition may
be borrowed under the program. The
equipment includes mobile mechanical
dryers, air circulators, ventilators,
tunnels, and fans. The loan is payable
in three annual installments. As in
the case of storage structure loans, the
first installment is payable 12 months
after the equipment loan is disbursed
and interest is at the rate of 4 per
cent per year.
Mr. Price cautioned Chowan Coun
ty farmers that failure to provide
storage for their grain can prevent]
their taking advantage of price sup- j

Senior Hi-Light
By JANE YOUNT BRITTON
No high school girl could ever find
the words to describe the beautiful (
Junior-Senior Prom held Friday night, ,
but I will try to tell you just a little ’
of how it looked.
The background was an enormous
mural of a swamp and trees laden (
with Spanish moss. To the left
stretched a cotton field. Behind the (
orchestra was a huge sketch of the ,
front of a southern mansion, exact in ,
every detail. At various points-'
around the floor stood trees with ac- >
tual moss dripping from them. The <
Junior Class gave special commenda- <
tion to Cecil Miller for planning and 1
supervising the creation of these
works of art. . *
The opening figure, performed by 1
officers of the Junior and Senior class- f
es, was a dance long to be remember- 5
ed. Every movement, every act was I
just right and the girls and boys look
ed splendid in their formal attire. ]
We were happy to have with us the
guest 3 of our Juniors and Seniors who
came from other schools. We hope
they enjoyed themselves and will long
remember this Junior-Senior Prom as j
one of the most beautiful they have
ever seen. j
At intermission-time the Junior r
Class presented a floor show in keep- c
ing with their theme: A Plantation
Party, and the supper, served by slave f
girls, carried out the same motif. Mus- ,
ic was furnished by “The Dreamers”
of Atlantic Christian College, and
they too, were “right’ for the oc
casion, for it was a dream of a dance! j
I surely wish I had the room to
name everybody and their dates, but,
as I don’t, I will tell you (as you well *
