about tihe new (arm tenant pro
gram of the Farm Security Ad
ministration were answered this
week by County Rehabilitation
Supervisor Mr. Paul B. Cone, who
is in charge of the ruralrehabilita
tion, farm debt adjustment and
tenant) loan programs in Franklin
and Nash Counties, as follows:
Who may apply for Tenant
Purchase Loans? ? United States
citizens who are farm tenants
(not owners), share-croppers,
farm laborers, or others who ob
tain or recently have obtained
most of their income from farm
ing.
Preference will be given to mar
ried persons or persons with de
pendent families; to persons able
to make a down payment; or to
persons who own livestock and
equipment necessary to carry on
farming operations. No loans will
be made to persons who can ob
tain an adequate loan for the pur
chase of a farm from other
sources at reasonable terms.
How should loan applications
be made ? If yon are in a county .
designated as one in which loans
are to be made thia year, obtain
an application blank from the
County Rehabilitation Supervisor
who serves your county. Fill it
out carefully and return it to him,
either personally or by mail. It
usually is advisable to call at his
office and talk the matter over
with him or bis assistant. If you
do not know the Supervisor's ad
dress, it may be obtained from
your County Agricultural Agent.
If my county is not selected for
loans, may I apply in another
county? ? No. Because of the lim
ited funds available, application
must be restricted to residents of
the 300 selected counties.
How will persons who will re
ceive loans be selected from the
large number who may apply? ?
Congress has provided that coun
ty committees of three farmers
shall certify which applicants by
reason of character, ability, and
experience are likely successfully
to carry out thi Undertaking re
quired under a loan to purchase
a farm. It is recognized that lim
itations of funds will make it
possible to grant loans to only a
limited number of worthy and
deserving applicants this year, j
What kind of farms can be pur
chased? ? A family-sized farm
which can in general be operated
with the labor available in the
family. It should be large enough
to provide a living for the bor
rower and his family and enable
him to retire the loan for the pur
chase of his farm.
mow will the farms be select
ed? ? Applicants who will receive
loans will be given a wide choice
in selecting the farms they want
to buy. The price of the property,
however, must be in keeping with
its value, as determined by the
county committee and the FSA.
Preference will be given tofarms
needing a minimum outlay for re
pairs and improvements.
What help will FSA give the
applicants who received a loan? ?
The Farm Security Administra
tion will assist applicants who re
ceive loans in developing sound
farm and home management
plans, preparing operating bud
gets, and maintaining business
like records.
Will loans be large enough to
cover building repairs and other
farm improvements? ? Yes, to a
limited extent.
Can I get a loan to finish pay
ing for the farm I am now buy
ing? ? No. Farm owners are not
eligible, and refinancing loans will
not be made.
Must I have a farm selected be
fore I apply? ? No. It is usually
advisable to tilk wit-h the County
Supervisor and the County Com
mittee before choosing a farm.
What are the terms of the
loans? ? Loans are made for a
40-year period at 3 per cent in
terest.
How large will the annual pay
ments be? ? Annual payments of
4.3 per cent of the sum borrowed
will cover both interest and prin
cipal.
May I pay off the entire loan in
less than 40 years? ? Yes. The
Act provides that after five years
payment in full may be made at
any time.
How will t'he loans be secured?
? By a first mortgage or deed of
trust on the farm purchased. The
borrower must agree to pay taxes
and insurance on the farm build
ings, to keep the farm in repair,
and prevent waste and exhaustion
ot the land.

ty, he reported.

Questions
Answered at State College
QUESTION: How many pigs
can be turned into a lot where
steers are being fattened?
ANSWER: This depends upon
the form in which the concentrate
is fed and the age of the steers
For two-year old animals from
one to three pigs should follow
each steer when snapped corn is
fed; one to two pigs when husked ,
ear corn is fed; one pig per steer*
when shelled corn is used, and
one pig to each two or three steers
when tbe corn is crushed or'
ground. With steers that are less
than two years old. the number of
pigs would be reduced. In addi
tion to i4e feed picked up in the
lot, the pigs should be given an
animal protein supplement and
minerals. j
QUESTION: What is the best
time to sow seeds in coldframes
or hotbeds for the early spring
garden?
ANSWER: The best time to;
sow seeds will depend upon the
time the plants are wanted in the 1
field and also upon the section.
Hardy crops such as cabbages and
lettuce are usually transplanted
to ttoe field is early as January
15 in the eastern part of tbe State.
In the mountain sections, these
hardy crops are started in the hot
beds or coldframes about- January
1 to 15. For a very early crop,
such tender vegetables as toma
toes and peppers should be started
from 8 to 10 weeks before it is
safe to set them in the field and ,
for tbe main summer crops the
seed should \>4 sown from ttoree to
four weeks before danger of frost
is over.
QUESTION: Should oyster shell
be kept before the laying hens at
all times?
ANSWER: This mineral may be
substituted with ground limestone
but one or the other should be
i accessible to t-he laying flock all
the time. The mineral content of
the hen's body is nearly four per
cent and the mineral content of
the egg is eleven percent so it is
necessary that tie birds have cer
tain mineral elements for growth
and repair of the body. Other
necessary minerals are bone meal
and salt. These elements supply
calcium, phosphorous, sodium and
chlorine and the oyster shell or
ground limestone supplies addi
j tional calcium.
