SECTION TWO —1
Improved Service
Developed By FHA
More Decisions Will Be
Made In County
Offices
Measures to speed up and further
improve Farmers Home Administra
tion services to farmers have recent
ly been developed in Washington un
der the direction of Secretary Benson,
Horace J. Esenhower, State Director
at Raleigh, North Carolina, said to
day.
In accordance with Secretary Ben
son's policy of placing more control
of agricultural programs in local
hands, many of the decisions formerly
made in state offices will now he made
in the counties. County Supervisors,
the employees who deal directly with
the farmers, will have final approval
on a larger number of loans and will:
have more authority in working with |
other creditors and in taking steps to j
help borrowers solve their financial,
and farming problems.
Greater use will be made of state;
and county committees. New. state!
committees, to be appointed in thej
near future, will be called upon fre
quently to review agency operations
and make sure they are efficiently
serving local needs. County commit
teemen will be relied upon to an even
greater extent than in the past to
help adapt national policies to local
needs.
Services of other public and private
organizations Will he used to the max- 1
imum extent possible. County home
demonstration agents will help Farm
ers Home Administration borrowers
with their family living problems.
Every possible step will be taken to
make sure that no government funds
are advanced when private or coopera
tive credit is available to meet the
needs. Lenders will be urged to sup-1
ply funds for insured farm owner
ship loans.
State Directors and their staffs are
being urged to increase their efficien
cy by eliminating every unnecessary
step and doing a perfect job the first
time.
Measures already taken by the
agency to render better service at less
cost includes the reorganization of the
national, area finance, and state of
fices which resulted in a savings of
more than 53,500.000.
A number of additional improve
ments were discussed at the meetings
that will place more authority in the
hands of county supervisors, make the
programs easier to operate, and en
able the agency to seme more farm-

folks. To have something, no mat
ter how worthless, placed out of
reach, is a challenge to try to get it.
A bargain-counter item is much more
desired if someone else has it. Mer
chants know this and use many subtle
tricks to make a casual shopper want
to buy.
Who is to say that it is evil to
desire the article, the idea or the ideal
that is out of reach? There would be
little progress in the world if men did
not reach for things. To reach is not
wrong. Our obligation is to teach
others what is worth reaching.
Hybrid Honeybees
At Work In N. C.
The word hybrid is so closely asso
ciated with corn, says W. A. Stephen,

public often forgets that scientists 1
have created new and better lines of
animals and insects too.
A new hybrid is making its first j
appearance in North Carolina this '
year, says Stephen. It’s the hybrid
honeybee. The raising of hybrid hon
eybee queens has been undertaken by
G. E. Curtis of the Alamance Bee '
Company, Graham. Th parent stock !
was furnished by Dadant and Sons [
of Hamilton, 111., where a trained
geneticist inbreeds four different lines
of stock and by artificial insemina

acteristics. They are good honey ga
therers—but their sting still hurts
just as much as the old fashioned bees
North Carolina beekeepers have
known. Their tendency to sting, how
ever, has been reduced and they are
supposed to be easy to handle.
The State College bee specialist
says B. E. Grant, Bertie County farm
agent, was one of the first to receive
Star Line hybrid queens from Curtis,
who began shipping them over the
state in mid-April.
