No License Fee
Is Charged For A
Threshing Machine
Raleigh, June 11.—Many com
plaints and inquiries have been made
t;o the Department of Agriculture,
County Agents, and local agricultural
teachers concerning the rumors that
a prohibitive license is to be made
for each threshing machine operat
ed this year. While no license fee
or charge is to be made, each op
erator is required by State Statute
to procure a license card from the
County Register of Deeds before he
may begin threshing this summer.
With this free license card is given
a free record book for recording
threshings of each farm. This book
may be kept by the operator for
his future reference.
The Department of Agriculture is
simply striving to aid threshermen in
keepdng good records which, in turn,
will help with the small grain and
peanut official county allotment fig
ures. A farmer will do well, there
fore, to be sure that the machine
threshing his crops is licensed, and
that a full record is .made of his
acres, as well as threshed produc
tions.

irman of the
County Farmers
Borrow $111,300
From Government
And Used Approximately 86.6
Per Cent Of It To Refinance
Their Debts.
Other Uses Made
Small Part Used For Buying
Land. Improvement Of Build
ings, Equipment.
A total of $111,300 of Federal land
bank and Land Bank 'Commissioner’s
farm mortgage loans was made in
Randolph County, North Carolina,
from June 1, 1933, ito May 1, 1934,
according to the Farm Credit Ad
ministration.
Of this total, farmers in Ran
dolph county used approximately
$96,400, or 86.6 per cent to refinance
their indebtedness. By refinancing,
farmers obtained new mortgage
loans which they used to repay their
old debts. They generally reduced
their annual interest charges in do
ing so. In a number of cases, scale
downs of indebtedness occurred in
connection with the new loans. These
and other advantages benefited farm
ers iprimarily. iSecondarily, credi
tors ibenefitted from the receipt of
cash or bonds in exchange for ob
ligations they held.
Of the loan money used by farm
ers in Randolph county for refin
ancing their debts, about $34,900, it
was estimated, repaid their debts to
banks; $5,200, (their debts to in
surance companies; $2,800, their tax
es; $300, their debts to merchants;
$53,200, their debts to “others,” or
creditors not separately classified,
including private mortgage lenders,
mortgage loan companies, retired
farmers and many others to whom
farmers were in debt.
A total of about $14,900 of loans
in the county was used for purposes
other than the refinancing of bor
rowers’ debts. Of this sum, $11,500
was used for the purchase of land
and equipment, the construction or
improvement of (buildings, and for
general agricultural uses, including
the provision of capital, while $3,
400, the balance, was used for the
purchase of stook in national farm
ldm associations, for loan fees, etc.
Throughout the United States ap
proximately $675,000,000 pf land
bank ^d^^wmsMonw^sJlcgj^gere
1934. Most of these loans were made
to refinance debts resulting from the
long period of low farm income.
Generally farmers pay consider
ably less interest each year on the
new than on the old loans. Land
bank loans made through national
farm loan associations carry an in
terest rate of 5 per cent, but there
is a reduction to 4% per cent until
July, 1938. Loans made direct by
banks carry a rate of 6V» per cent,
but there is a reduction to 5 per
cent until 1988. The rate on Com
missioner’s loans is 6 per cent.
Against these rates farmers in most
cases had been paying from 5 per
cent to 8 per cent, but on numerous
loans they had been paying 9 per
cent, 10 per cent, and even above
10 per cent.
Until March 26 the land bank
and Commissioner’s loans were made
in cash. Commencing on that date
they were made mainly in the gov
ernment-guaranteed bonds of the
Federal Farm Mortgage Corporation.
These bonds are exempt from all
Federal, state, municipal and local
taxation, except surtaxes, estate, in
heritance and gift taxes. They are
guaranteed fully as to principal and
interest by the United States govern
ment In a relatively short period
after they were issued, they sold
above par and had met a favorable
reception from farmers and their
creditors all over the United States.
With the use of these bonds, the re
financing program is going forward
rapidly.
