eligible to borrow this money, will
have to live on the farm and oper
ate the farm as a family-type farm
witnout tne aid ot tenants or snare-croppers.
This money is available at 3 1-2
per cent interest and repayable
over a period of time up to forty
years, however, the veteran and his
familv will be encouraged to re
pay the loan as soon as practical as
matter of good business manage
ment.
The veteran may also use this
source of credit to borrow money
to put necessary buildings on the
farm he is proposing to buy in good
condition or to build any new build
ings he may need on the farm. The
money borrowed for this purpose
will be added to the money borrow
ed to pay for the farm and will be
repayable at the same 3 1-2 per

Hedrick savs farmers should toi
