K ALFORD READY FOR LOANING THIS IS FEDERAL MONEY FOR EMERGENCY CROP AND FEED LOANS FOR 1938 —SECURITY REQUIRED FIRST LIEN ON CROP OR LIVESTOCK. Applications for emergency crop and feed loans for 1938 are now being received at Danbury by G- H. Alford, Field Supervisor of the Emergency Crop and Feeo Loan Section of the fa r m Credit Administration. The loans will be made, as in the past, only to farmers who cannot obtain credit from an other Bource. The moriCy loaned will be limited to the farmer's immediate and actual oash needs for growing his 1938 crops or for the purchase of feed for livestock, and the amount which may be loaned to any one farmer in 1938 may not exceed S4OO. Farmers who can obtain the funds they need from an individ ual, production credit association, bank, or other concern are not eligible for crop and feed loans from the Emergency Crop and Feed Loan Section of the Farm Credit Administilatlon. The loan* will not be nade to standard I (' • . rehabilitation clients whose cur- rent needs are provided for by the Fann Security Administration, formerly known as the Resettle ment Administration. Aa i n the past, farmers who obtain emergency crop and feed loans will give as security a first lien on the crop financed, or a 'first lien on the livestock to be fed if the money borrowed is to be used to produce or purc!:a s e feed for livestock. Where loans are made to ten ants, the landlords, or others having an interest in the crop.s financed or the livestock to be fed, are required to waive their claims in favor of a lien to the Governor of the Farm Credit Administration until the loan is repaid. Cnecks in payment of approved loans will be mailed from the Regional Emergency Crop and Feed Loan Office at Columbia, S. C. A survey of farm lands In Ala mance county by a committee of fanners indicated that 5,000 acres are of doubtful value in farming; 17,000 acres h&ve no agricultural va/iue, and 2,500 acres are within town limits. This leaves 257,000 acres of agricultural land though some of this lies within the acres of unincorporated towns. Farmers in eleven communi munities of Cumberland county had 178 horses and mules ex amined by Btate and federal veterinarians at clinics held by the county ageat last week. Many of the ■nlßMii received tuataeet. LIGHT ON THE NEW FARM PROGRAM COUNTY AGENT BROWN SAYS IT IS OF VITAL INTERESI TO STOKES FARMERS COUNTY AND COMMUNITY COMMITTEEMEN ARE MEET ING. The new farm bill passed by Congress and signed by the President last week is of vital interest to most Stokes county fanners. This bill provides for marketing quotas and compulsory control on cotton and tobacco in 1938 providing two thirds of the producers favor control at a ref erendum to be held on March 12 The chief part of this bill of in terest to Stokes county; farmers is that part which affects tobac co. The bill gives provisions for tobacco tfaes |to be established whose farms a tobacco base been grown during tV years cf 1934 to 1937. Conside"ation is also being given to far \ci-r. rr. farms a tobacco base has not not been previously established and who plan to grow tobacco in 1938- The bill fu'ther provides more lenient consideration fct »!.e small growers, that is the grow er with the base leas than {;.; acres. Growers with a ba*e of 5.1 acres or over will be required to reduce their crop 30 per cent Growers with base of 3 1-2 to 5.1 acres will be required to re duce their crop from ten to 3 per cent depending on the size o the base. This will be workad out on a graduated scale rongin from 10 pe r cent, at 3 1-2 acres up to 30 per cent, at 5.1 aces. Growers with a base of 3 1 acres or less will be required to reduce 10 per cent. County and community com mit teemen are meeting and wil> continue to meet for the next several days to review all tobac co bases in the county in order to adjust bases between farms iit as fair and equitable manner as possible. Dates have been and are being arranged for the vari ous townships in the county. Farmers are requested if they have a complaint in regard to their base to appeal before the committee on the date set for their township. This will save delay and inconvenience. Pro ducers are being notified of the meeting for their particular township by letter. After the committee made recommen dations for each fanner in the county, his recommended acreage will be forwarded to Raleigh for approval, as soon as acreages have been approved in Raleigh, growers in the county will be im mediately notified of the acreage they can plant In 1938. If two-thirds of the tobacco growers in the tobacco growing states favor marketing quotas on March 12, « ooonpoUory ponnA- age allotment wi'l be set up for each fa r m in the county. If a grower exceeds his poundage al lotment or marketing quota in 1938, the new bill oalls for a penalty of not less than 50 per cent, of the gross sale price oi the tobacco or three cents per pound, which ever is larger. That is, in no case will the penhlty tax be less than three cents pei pound of tobacco sold. This is to discourage the marketing of scrap tobacco or low grade fleai The bill also contains a provision where farmers may purchase poundage when needed from other farmers somewhat like the meth od practiced under the old Triple A. It is felt, however, that poundage altotments under the new program will be fairer and nearer what the farmer is pro ducing than under the old Triple A. Since the bill provides for some increase in poundage to take care of the increase in pro duction per acre that has como about in the last few years. Un der the new farm bill, the small growers who have been produc ing 3200 pounds of tobacco or less each year, such growers will receive an allotment for the amount of poundage they have been producing or at laaat 3200 pounds. This A>ea not mean that every small grower wW receive an aJlotment of 3200 pounds; it means that producers that have | been producing as much as 3200 : pounds will get at least this amount. For example, if a grow er hgid been producing 2,000 pounds, he would not get a" al lotment for more than 2.000 pounds. The new farm bill will work j liand in hand with the present j£oil Conservation Program. Pay jments arc still being made for 10- ! ducing acreage on the principa l 'soil depleting crops a"d 'o' car- rying out approved soil building practices. The new farm bill does not provide for any additional payments. The chief changes tfctat growers will want to feimil iariie themselves with are the new provisions regarding bases and the marketing quotas or compulsory control features as they will apply to tobacco. We hope to receive additional information from time to time on the) farm program. We are mak ing an effort to keep farmers throughout the county posted on the details from time to time as they are received at the county agent's office. t J. F. BROWN, County Agent. Farmerg of Duplin county have ordered 34,000 feet of drai n tile cooperatively this winter. The average coat of terracing land in Guflford county in 1937 amounted to $2-»2 an acre.
