A $300,000,000 unemployment I relief fund, derived from a federal bond issue, to be advanced to ( States and municipalities, carrying j out the bill of Senator Robert F.

This in * * Luiiiiaiiuii wiio u^iuocu xxx uic xv/xlowing news letter received from headquarters at Washington, D. C: "Government Field Inspector J. C. Howard, whose territory in this State comprises Warren county for the Crop Production Lean Office of the Washington Region announces that no more applications for 1932 Drop Production Leans will be considered from thig section inasmuch is the time for applying for these Loans expired last Saturday, April 30th. "Plenty of time was given the farmers to make application for Drop Leans; in fact the time limit for filing applications was fixed at a later date this year than heretofore. "Accompanying this information from Washington, is also the announcement that Loan checks covering second installments are not being mailed to all farmers whose loans were approved, but only to those farmers who have mailed to the Crop Production Loan Office, Washington, D. C., their report cards as to what disposition they made of the proceeds of the first Crop Production Loan checks received by them. "In this connection^ it will be interesting to learn that a largo number of farmers have not mailed their report cards 'to the Crop Production Loan Office, which indicates that many of them for various reasons do not need the second installment of 'the Loan made to hhpm Pnsfiihlv in manv inctonroc this is on account of the require, ment to reduce their cotton, tobacco, and peanut acreage to sixtyfive per cent of the acreage planted to 'these crops last year. "A crops of Field Inspectors is employed by the Government to make close inspections from time to time of the farms where Crop Loans have been made, using as a basis for their investigations the information on the report forms which accompanied the first checks. "The information given by the farmers in the application forms will also serve as a basis for inspection as each applicant was required to furnish certain information as to his cropping plans for this year and the results of his farming operations in 1932. "Farmers who procured Crop Leans this year, and are due la second installment will not receive checks covering balance due them until the information required by the Government is furnished on the cards sent them for this purpose. These report cards may be had by applying to the Government Field Inspector, J. C. Howard who makes his headquarters at the court House in Warrenton, N. C., during the morning. "The information from Washing ton to the Government Field Inspector did not indicate the date cm which the mailing of the second Installment checks would be discontinued but it was stated, although unofficially, that the time limit would expire Saturday, May 23rd. "Mr. Howard, states that there bave been approximately 1450 loans m this county, under his immediate supervision, and hopes that every ;ffort will be made by the individual borrowers to pay back these loans 100 per cent. "Upon the record of this community will depend in a large measure the future attitude of the Government toward Crop Production Loans in this area. It is hoped that every individual will make an bcnest effort to pay back his loan, ind see that his neighbor does the same in order to preserve the good lame of this entire community. "The Government Crop Production Loans have been of the greatest help to the farmers in enabling i ?U IXXOll XU1 1C1 MlUffiiO auu supplies. .'Vll public spirited citizens n each County should lend every :ffort toward seeing that the loans ire paid back from the crops grown so as to maintain the credit standng of this section. "Let us hope that the people will nake every effort to see that this bounty, the territory of Mr. Howard nakes a record in the percentage >f collections, and let us not allow ny other County to have a cleaner scord, or make a better showing."
