V-a. CHARGE FOR HELPING j FARMERS APPLY FOR LOANS IS PROHIBITED Farmers who apply for loans j this year from the $90, 000,000 j] (and authorixed by Congress for crop production leans, should re .'use to pay ahy fees for help In the preparation of their loan ap plications, It was declared by!] Harry P. Stevens, Field Inspector of the Crop Production Loan Of fice, stationed at Loulsbnrg, N. ; C. The law requires however that all probate fees be paid. The law as enacted by Con-, gress this year specifically pro hibits the charging of any fee for the preparation of the appli cation, Mr. Stevens explained, and provides for fine or imprison ment, or both, for any person found guilty of assessing such a charge. Notarial fees, however, are still necessary, as are fees charged by the county recording \ official for recording the lien given as security for the loan, and for searching the records for prior liens. Prospective borrowers need not write to Washington for applica tion blanks and detailed lnfor matl on about the loans, Mr. Stevens said, but may ket that material direct from him. The application blank this year requires a statement of the amount of the- loan desired, the number of acres for which seed and fertilizer are to be purchas ed, the amount desired for toed, and the amount desired for fuel and oil for tractors. The apptl-j cation also requires a statement of the amount of the loan which is to be used for making repairs or for the purchase of other sup piles. The sum total of these several items must not exceed the maximum rates per acre specified i in the regulations. A legal description of the land on which the crops are to be 1 planted U also required, together with a statement of the acreage of crops grown by the applicant in 1932, and the yields obtained. The applicant is required to. file a statement of seed and feed on hand at the time of applying for a loan. . To obtain the loan, the appli cation blank stipulates, the ap plicant must agree to use the money loaned only for the pur chase of supplies necessary for crop production In 1933 on the land described. Prospective bor rowers must also state that they have neither the means nor the credit with which to secure these production supplies, and that un ices the loan Is granted, they will be unable to farm in 1933. Significant differences between the 1933 and 1932 regulations governing crop production loans are that this year the maxmium permitted to any one borrower is $300, and that, to, qualify for a loan, borrowers must_*gree to re duce their acreage of cash crops 30 per cent below their 1932 acreage, provided their farming operations are above a specified minimum. As In 1932, a firtt lien on the 1933 crop is required. Loans are to be repaid on or be fore October 31, 1933. The regu lations make it unlawful for any person to dispose of or assist in disposing of any crops given as security for any crop loan, except for the account of the Secretary of Agriculture and provide for fine and imprisonment tor viola tion of such requirement. The regulations require each borrow er to agree to plant a garden for home dse and to plant sufficient acreage to provide necessary live stock feed. I : Later Legislative Happenings The House passed a bill plac ing foreign stocks back on the taxable property lists. , The Turlington Act repeal bill was killed by the House Monday night In a Very decisive vote.
