For New Year j By J. C. Eubanks, Supervisor Helping family farmers make i better use of their land and labor for maximum efficiency and greater production is the major aim of the Farmers Home Admin istration in Martin County. The agency’s loan program en ables farmers to obtain the live stock, equipment, fertilizer, and other items needed to increase production. It assists families in adjusting inadequate farming sys tems and becoming firmly estab lished on a sound basis. The farm ownership program helps families own farms or make farms more productive by provid ing funds for land clearing, drain age, fencing, permanent seedings, and the construction or repair of necessary farm buildings. Supervision in wording out farm and home plans that make j full use of the family's land and labor resources accompanies the loan. Applications from veterans receive preference.

Those with FHA credit either to own or operate farms, are an- i awering for themselves such ques tions as. "Was production per head of livestock or per acre as high as possible? Was income as much as expected? Were family living | costs more than planned?” The answers are intended to suggest underlying problems that represent road blocks in the way of successful farming. They may indicate that the size of the farm business was too small, crop and livestock enterprises not properly balanced, farm and home manage ment methods not up-to-date, or not enough food produced and preserved for home use. In this joint look at the balance sheet, we pay special attention to how the previous year's business turned out. to decide what changes are needed for this year. Families like thr yearly analysis servit" provided them because it gives them an opportunity to mea sure progress toward long-range goals, and to note any causes of failure before repetition sets in. They feel that planning ahead en ables them to use earnings to bet- j ter advantage, avoid spending for ! non-essentials, and arrange debt payment on or before the due date. In the year ahead, the Farmers Home Administration will stress j adjustments and improvements in inadequate farming systems.
