The Farmers Home Administration, USDA’s cre dit agency, will assist in determining counties in the state where serious crop and livestock losses are occurring because of the prolonged dry weather, according to James T. Johnson, FmHA State Director. Johnson stated that the FmHA will make its Emer gency loan program available immediately in counties that are designated natural disas ter areas by the Secretary of Agriculture, or otherwise declared eligible for the program.

The program will make low interest loans available to help coter eligible farmers’ losses and other parts of the program will allow loans for annual produc tion expenses and to make adjustments that are needed to increase the soundness or efficiency of the operation. Interest rates on loans for actual losses are five per cent. Other parts of the Emergency loan program carry a market rate of interest, which is presently set at eight percent. Loans to cover actual losses are scheduled for repayment consistent with the ability of the farmer to pay and available security, up to seven years. Other parts of the loan are similarly scheduled but can carry terms up to forty years, if needed. Applicants may be either individual farmers, farming partnerships or corporations primarily engaged in farming. All applicants must show that they cannot obtain the needed credit from private sources. Among other requirements, applicants must operate in a county declared a major or Close Check Advised: Worm Attacking mi Tobacco Crops BY W.C. BLEDSOE County Extension Chairman Burley tobacco, at several locations in the mountain area, is being attacked by a dirty gray or ash-colored worm. These worms have been tentatively identified as climbing cutworms. The total area of infestation has not been determined at this time out it is suggested that growers keep close check on their tobacco fields for pos sible damage. Also these worms attack crops other than tobacco. Some of the worms are nearly two inches long while others are less than an inch in length. From one to seven or more worms have been observed per plant. They are ravenous feeders and have the potential to inflict serious natural disaster and plan to continue farming. Production losses must be significant and not compensated by insurance or otherwise, and physical losses must likewise be uncompensated losses. Johnson said that further information concerning the Emergency loan program and other loans available can be obtained at local Farmers Home Administration county offices which are listed under U.S. Government (Agricul ture) in local telephone directories. damage to the crop. Worms are feeding pri marily on tender leaves in the top Vi of the plant. The type of injury could be confused with budworm, hornworm, or grasshopper damage. Look for the worms. They may be in the feeding area or they may be on the underside of large leaves anywhere on the plant. They apparently do not return to the ground. Entomologists at N.C. State University have sugges ted orthene at Vt to Vt pound active ingredient per acre sot control. Larger worms are harder to kill, consequently infestations that are dis covered early can be cleaned up easier before serious damage occurs.

Dear Editor: I can’t help bat be amused at the hullabaloo these school principals are creating over their positions, and being the£ unbiased publication that yon are, I know you’ll publish the! other side of the situation. I’m little-known in Yancey County’s educational circles, but I have a keen memory as to when these people obtained their positions. Frank Deyton was Bred from South Toe and Kenny Sparks took the job without batting an eye. Mr. Griffith waq fired from East Yancey. Again Kenny Sparks fell Into tha£ position without reservations. And now for Cara Cox. With help, she succeeded in displacing Mr. Ronald Kates and took his job without hesitation. And I for one Yancey Conn dan, am disappointed that thia Board of Education didn’t give them a taste of their own medicine. 1 Yours truly, D.J. Wilson : Burnsville, N.C. j ★ Dear Editor: > We just had the nicest time last week! • Senior citizens under the direction of True Elliott and Mnl Hazel Thomas had a picnic at the Hemlocks Campground. We gathered in the fine pavillion provided by Older Americans Program Project-Toe cane Ranger District, U.S. Forest Service: We soon had a blazing fire in the huge fireplace and the good food was served at the tables. Soon there was a jolly .crowd cheering on the horse-shoe pitching. There were some pretty good pitchers! I would like also to mention the Laurel Craft Shop which id filled with a great variety of beautiful hand work made by the Older Americans of Yancey County. I’ve had occasion for purchasing several gifts lately and that is where I went. Senior Citizens are doing a lot of happy and useful things in Yancey County and I just wanted to brag a little bit and to say Thank you.- A Senior Citizen [Name withheld on request] Yancey Schools Begin Registration Yancey County Schools will be open for registration of all students in grades 1-12 on Tuesday morning, August 16, from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. Kindergarten students will not register until the first full hrs., 5-8 p.m. Thursdays, East Yancey Middle School September 17-December 15, D.
