Smith Qualified farmers in Un-anitlln County who at present do nob own farms and who desire to ap ply for a loan to purchase a fam ily size farm under provisions of the U. S. Department of Agricul ture's tenant purchase program should file their applications now with the Farm Security Adminis tration, Walter J. Smith, FSA su pervisor, said today. Seeking to give as many elig ible farm families as possible an opportunity to own a farm of their own, the Department of Ag riculture is accepting applica tions for loans which may be made any time between now and June 30, 1942. AWtllc&tions should be filed at once for loans to be made during the fiscal year, so that the ap proved families will have suffic ient time to select farms and' make plans for the 1942 crop, t'he supervisor said. Farm families who filed appli cations after July 1. 1940 for loans this year, but which were not approved because of lack of funds, will not have to file new applications. Mr. Smith said that the county Tenant Purchase committee, composed of H. B. Cottrell, N. H. Griffin, and M. H. Hunt, will review these applica tions again and notify the fami lies if additional information is needed. The Hankhead-Jones farm ten ant act passed by Congress in 1937 authorized the Farm Secur ity Administration t? make loans to cai>ahle tenant and farm lab orer families to enable them to buy land of their own. These ten ant-purrhase loans are lareKe enouiiH Tff covei- tne eostisr a family-type farm and the expense >f repairing old farm buildings or putting up new ones. Loans are made only to cltitens of the United States, and preference is Klven to those who own the live stock and equipment needed to operate a farm. Qualified applicants are recom mended for loans by a committee of three local farmers In each county where the program is in operation. These committeemen certify to the Secretary of Agri culture the applicants whom they consider most deserving and beati qualified to make a success of a family-type farm. The loans carry three per cent interest and may be repaid over a period of 49 years, although the borrower may of course pay off the entire loan more rapidly if he wishes. Application blanks and full de tails on the operation of t"he Bankhead-Jones tenant purchase act are available at the couoty office of the Farm Security Ad ministration. which is located at Louisburg in t-lie Lumpkin Build ing. 8.
