FRANKLIN COUNT! FARMERS
OBTAIN LONGER LOAN
TERMS
The opportunity to reduce tbe
annual principal payments on
Land Bank Commissioner loans
by reamortizing them over a lon
ger period of years has been op
ened to many of tbe 324 Frank
lin County farmers who bave
Commissioner loans, according to
a statement received today from
tihe Farm Credit Administration
of Columbia.
There were about $313,735 of
Land Bank Commissioner loans
outstanding in this county at the
beginning of 1940 and Li* addi
tion approximately $310,900 of
Federal land bank loans. Some
of these loans have already been
reamortized.
Most of the Federal land bank
loans are already written for long
terms up to 30-odd years, but the
"Commissioner's" loans were orig
inally made on a 10-year basis.'
requiring considerably heavier
principal payments.
In a recent statement from
Washington, A. G. Black. Gover- 1
nor of the Farm Credit Adminis
tration, said many of tbe "Com
missioner's" loans were being
reamortized over a longer period
of years in order to ease tbe pay
ments of farmers witti tbe heav
iest mortgages. Spreading out the
payments over a longer period
will provide these farmers with
the same opportunity of working
out of debt as already provided
for Federal land bank borrowers
through long-term repayment pe
riods, Governor Black said. Fed
eral land bank loans are all first
mortgage loans whereas the Com
missioner's loans are made on
both first and second mortgage
security.
? 4-H TOl'R
At tbe last round of 4-H Club
meetings before school was out,
each club designated a certain
day during tbe summer at which
time a local 4-H tour would be
held. A committee of 4-H Club
members was selected by tbe club
to accompany tbe assistant agent
on a visit to all tbe local club
members. On Wednesday, May 29,
the first of these lours was held
with the Bunn Junior 4-H Club.
Havalie Denton, Bruce Young.
Buck Alford, and Alva Johnson,
as a 4-H committee, accompanied
the Assistant Agent. All club
members were visited, and pro
jects inspected, and records were
checked. Contacts were also made
with one or botb parents of each
club member for the purpose of
encouraging more interest in club
work. Of the 16 club members
enrolled in the Bunn Club, 3 bad
no projects. 2 had poultry pro
jects. and the remaining were
corn projects. Each of the club
members making the trip had
packed a lunch box. and at the
noon hour we spread lunch on a
large rock by the Tar River and
ate it picnic atyle. After the last
visit was completed in tbe after
noon, we went swimming in one
of tbe favorite holes. It was a
day well spent.
