Training Meeting
Held for Farmers
-«
A one day training meeting of
County Committeemen for the
farmers Home Administration
was held here Friday of last week.
There were committeemen here
from nine eastern Carolina coun
ties. The meeting was conducted
by Marion C. Holland, State field
representative, from Goldsboro
I insisted by Vance F. Swift, asso
riate State director, in charge of
farm ownership, and 1) Or. Mou
lin. appraiser-engineer, from Wil
liamston.
Some time was spent in outlin
ing to committeemen the FHA
policy for another year, and what
it is authorized to do It was ex
plained that FHA is authorized to
make loans to eligible farmers for
needed adjustments such as more
livestock, land improvement, etc.
Also FHA can make real estate
loans to farmers for the purchase
of land, developing land now own
ed, and to purchase additional
land for farm enlargement, as well
as loans for farm housing
The committeemen wore called
on one at a time to give the main
problems of farmers in general in
their county. Without exception,
every man from the east Carolina
section listed drainage as a prob
lem. Other suggestions were more
livestock along with row crops,
more and better pastures, fencing,
better buildings, land clearing,
and basic land treatment
A committeeman from one
county said of his county, "today
we are infants in the dairy busi
ness, but 1 confidently believe in
20 years we will be one of the
leading dairy counties in North
Carolina. This has come about
through the county agent and the
county supervisor of the Farmers
Home Allministration. Nut all fai
mers engaging in the dairy enter
prise will need the assistance of
feri'd b ytlie FHA. but many will
need this help. And it is encour
aging to all of us to know that the
assistance is available if no •. ■ 1".
It was a further opinion of all
committeemen that at least one
third of all farms arc not proiluc
ing to full capacity due to lack of
development work, and that il

torque converter which multiplies torque with
out the use of gears. Its advantage Is a smooth
flow of power. Its disadvantage is a smaller
range of torque multiplication which requires
more power from the engine and an uneco

Other cars offer an automatic drive that uses
automatic gears (as illustrated in simplified
form at right) instead of a torque converter.
The advantage here is more "go/1 more con
