So numerous were the applications during last week that four additional clerks were put on to help Agent Shoffner and his office assistant handle the work. All Net Assured. The loans sought by Cleveland farmers range from $30 to $300, but the average loan asked la approxi mately $190. The first appropriation by the IT. 8. Department of Agriculture Is for only fifty million. Forty-five of the fifty million dollars were allotted to Western agricultural states so It is not assured that all the applications filed here and In other southern territory will be filled. Final distri bution of the loans will be made at Washington. County Agent Shoffner Is hopeful that the fun loans ap plied for here will be granted, but he has been Informed that the first appropriation will be evenly distrib uted among the applicants and there Is a likelihood that the five million quota for the Southern States will not fill all the applications filed. Iive-At-Hoese Idea. In making application a farmer must flU out a lengthy question naire, listing the acreage In vamut crops last year and tlie acreage planned for each crop this year. One of the conditions outlined In the application blank Is that every ap plicant must assure that he will have a home garden and also a suf ficient acreage to assure that he will produce enough food and feed for the consumption of his family and his stock. When and if received the loan can be used for nothing other than pur chasing seed and fertilised. The jloan cannot be used for payment at taxes or anything like that and the landowner’s application Is rejected unless his taxes are paid. The Interest rate to be charged !n cases where loans are made 1* 9% percent and the maximum loan for a landholder is $1,900 and $400 for an Individual. A survey of the blanks filled eat by farmers applying Indicates that a majority of them will give more acreage to food and feed crops this year than last.
