FARMERS PAYING !
THEIR FSA LOANS
TWO OUT OF EVERY THBEE
FARM FAMILIES MEET
THEIR OBLIGATIONS.
i
Two out of every three farm
families on the Farm Security
Administration rural rehabilita-,
tion program in North Carolina'
are paying off their loans as pay
ments mature.
Vance E- Swift, North Carolina
State Director of Farm Security
Administration at Raleigh, an-'
nounced this week that out of
14,559 farm families now on the
rehabilitation program, only,
4,817 or 33 per cent were delin- j
quent on June 30, end of the fis-1
cal year.
FSA makes loans to low income
farm families, tenants as well as
small owners, for the purchase of |
tools, workstock, livestock, fertil-1
izer, seed and improvements to;
farm buildings. Each loan >s
made on the basis of an operation i
plan worked out by the family j
and the supervisors for the farm
and home, to be carried out by
the farmer-borrower with the
guidance and help of the FSA
County Supervisors. Dual pur
pose of this farm and home plan
is subsistence production for the
family and conservation of the j 1
soil-
Mr. Swift said North Carolina''
now has 1260 "graduates" of ths,"
FSA program. These borrowers:'
have paid up their loans in full,
and presumably are making their '
own way, supporting themselves 1
without help, since they have not 1
applied for additional loans.
A total of $8,997,222 including,'
$2,700,000 loaned for this crop l '
year has been loaned to low in- 1
come farm families in North Car-, 1
olina and 53,906,167 has been re- '
i
paid- Since the loans are made
for five years, this repayment rec- '
ord is considered good, Mr. Swift i
said. The total amount repaid to
date is about 83 per cent, of ma- '
turities- Mr. Swift said FSA '
eventually expects to collect from
80 to 85 p »• cent, of at' its loans 1
To date, FSA has helped some
17,000 farm families in North
Carolina.

Information On Cutting Hay.
Many farmers inquire every
year about the proper time to
cut various crops for hay- Les-1
pedeza should be cut as soon as j
it has obtained a good growth .
and not later than when in full (
bloom. Soybeans should be cut
when the pods just begin to form .
and cowpeas when the pods turnj
reddish in color. Alfalfa should j
A
be cut when it is from 1-4 to 1-10,
in bloom. Red clover when in;
full bloom- Cutting hay af the
proper time insures better quali
ty and more feed value. The
maximum amount of feed value
can be obtained with the above,
if cut at the time recommended.
This has been determined after
I exhaustive experiment by the
1 State and federal experiment sta
tions. Too much emphasis can
not be placed on handling hay
, carefully and in such a way fßat
1 the maximum amount of leaves
on the plant can be saved and
the green color retained- The
protein content and feeding qual
ity of hay is governed in most in-
I stances by leafiness and green
color.
