Farm Security Administration Is To Stress Better Leases The Farm Security Administra tion of the U. S. Dept, of Agricul ture will stress better leasing ar rangements between landlords and tenants in the interest of both part ies to the contract and as an aid to the success of its program, J. Y. Blanks, County Rural Rehabilitation Supervisor for the FSA announced today. According to Mr. Blanks, the need for better lease contracts, in cluding such provisions as longer rental periods, security to the land lord for the protection of his pro perty and security to the tenant for reimbursement (for improvements made by him, has been brought convincingly to the attention of supervisors during past two years in connection with their pro gram to help financially handicap ped farmers and tenants to get in their feet again by means of Reha bilitation supervised loans, a work which since Resettlement’s recently liquidation is being carried on by supervisors under the newly estab lished Farm Security Administra tion. A large percentage of farmers needing these Rehabilitation loans are tenants, he said, and it has been found easier to work out a sound farm plan for families who have sat isfactory leasing contracts. In many cases the applicant for these loans needs credit not only for livestock and equipment - articles which can be taken with him if he is required to move - but also cred it for soil improvement items, such as lime and seed for permanent pas tures, the returns from which the tenant will not be able to realize in dollars and cents the first year and which he cannot' take away with him when he moves. Rehabili tation supervised loans are repay able over a period of from one to five years, the longer period being provided to give the borrower more time in which to pay for these items which are expected to produce re sults over a period of years. Where such an aplicant is a tenant, a satis factory leasing agreement makes it easier, other qualifications and con ditions being favorable, to work out a practical farm plan with suitable crop rotation and to ex tend the loan over the longer per iod. In many cases, it has been found impossible to work out a suitable farm plan or to approve a loan until a satisfactory lease has been secured. Now that Farm Security Adminis tration has been set up to tackle the farm tenancy problem, security of i farm tenure, whether by tenants or owners, has been recognized as the real goal, Mr. Blanks said. “One road to security of tenure is by ownership, but appropriations, for the present at least, are so lim ited that loans to buy farms can be made to only a small percentage of tenants desiring farms of their own. The Rural Rehabilitation supervised loans (which do not include money for land purchase) will continue as the major activity of the FSA. Therefore, the second road to se curity of tenure must be emphasiz ed, namely, better leases, improved relationship between landlbrd and tenant. The problem resolves it self into one of developing a leas ing contract which will give the tenant more interest in cooperating with the owner in making improve ments for their mutual advantage.” Mr. Blanks stated that his agency is working hand in hand with the Extension Service, Agricultural colleges and other agencies which have been stressing tlje need foT better leases in an educational way but the FSA finds it necessary to meet the problem in a practical way and because of the fact that his agency’s loan and farm manage ment system is designed to work in the interest of both landlord and tenant, it is believed that a practical incentive for better leases has been found and that in time, with the STANDARD OIL CO. MAKES APPORTIONS TO EMPLOYEES Approximately $4,000,000 is to be apportioned shortly among em ployees of the Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey and its affiliates, with each employjee receiving » maxi mum credit of $50.00, according to an announcement made today by Mr. C. M. Byers, manager of the North Carolina Division. This al lotment will be made through con tribution by the company to the ac count of each employee participat ing in the annuity and thrift plan, but with one or more years of ser vice also will be credited with SSO each in a supplemental thrift fund account established for them. After the contribution of SSO to each employee, there will be appro ximately $2,750j000' remaining in the special appropriation which will be prorated to employees in the continued cooperation of the above named educational agencies, this common incentive for the better leases will be generally recognized.

This will amount to approxi mately 22 per cent of their own and the company’s regular contributions between Nov. 1, 1936 and Nov. 1 of this year. This is the second time that the company has declared an apportion ment to employees, the first being made a year ago with a minimum allotment of one week’s salary. This amounted to an average mini mum allotment of $27, as compared with the flat minimum of SSO this year. The total (1p36 contribution was $2,500,000. Under the operation of the em ployee’s thrift plan no promise is made of any contributions by the employing companies beyond a guarantee of dollar for dollar for the first three percent of the work er’s salary assigned to the fund and 50 cents more for each dollar above the 3 per cent minimum required for membership. The worker can authorize his company to withhold not less than 3 per cent nor more than 13 per cent out of his pay envelope to go into the fund. When the plan was inaugurated on Jan. 1, 1936, the management said that lit. hoped when earnings justified it, an extra sum would be authorized tc help build up employee and com pany contributions. In the first two years of the plan, conditions have justified special additions amount ing to nearly $7,000,000. BITTER NEW YORK CAMPAIGN New York City—This city’s most hotly contested political campaign clofces with startling charges of political alliance with crime. Thom as E. Dewey, special prosecutor appointed by the Governor of the State to supercede the local district attorney in breaking up gangs of racketeers, astounded the city by giving a list of known thugs, pick pockets, murderers and gunmen reguarly associated with one of the leaders of Tammany Hall, with their full police records. Dewey has sent to prison for long terms 71 out of 73 gangsters indicated in his crusade, with one of the remaining two a suicide.

MORGANS CREDITED WITH COAL CONTROL Philadelphia, Pa.—A report of the State Anthracite Coal Industry Commission assertes that through a maze of interlocking directorates, J. ' P. Morgan & Co., of New York, and allied banks, control eight of ten major hard coal producers, together with seven of the nine leading an thracit-calrrying railroads. The charge is made that by charging high rail rates to themselves, the operators can sell their coal at prices ruinous to independent pro ducers and still make a profit. * Mitchell County farmers have ‘begun the thinning of their hard wood forests as a beginning in tim ber stand improvement work. rTIDHER QUALITY lihi idifllil Save Every fck ddl EPSOM SALTS Ds)/ At Tile DRAUGHT far Cut Rate Store 15c THESE SPECIALS ALL THIS WEEK 85c JAD SALTS 60c ALKA-ZELTZER SI.OO NUJOL 69c 49c 57c 60c SAL HEPATICA * McKESSON’S l Pint SQUIBB’S MINERAL OIL MINERAL OIL 49c 39c 59c 2 ’Ti !ravK S eam“ h - IPANA TOOTH PASTS ° P 70c Value Quart 49c 39c 59c TOOTHBRUSH ANTISEPTIC SOLUTION ASPIRIN TABLETS 12 >g 2 for 51c 10c ASPIRIN TABLETS 10Q , s BABY OIL 25c LISTERINE 39c 39c 19c PALMOLIVE SHAMPOO KOTEX ALARM CLOCKS 25c 20c 98c 75c MENTHO $1.25 Creo- 50c SI.OO Wampoles 35c L.
