This is a ques- tion of many farmers who are making low peanut yields are vitauy intereswa in, It is also a question facing agri cultural workers as they work with f.far-1 people." "ff ;-,2 '';.'"-';.7;'' "T"" - ( arge W. ABunch and son, & J. luinch, of Cross Roads Community are vitally . Interested in this ques ' tion. ; Their yields have been, running 1,200 to 1,400 pounds per acre while their neighbors on one side and just across the fence have been making well over 2,000 pounds of peanuts per acre. According to soil test reports, Mr. Bunch's soil is testing low- to medium in potash. This may be one limiting factor in the peanut produc tion and an attempt is being made to correct this by applying additional potash annually to other crops in the - peanut rotation. Soil samples also in dicate a rather low organic content. The : Soil Conservationist and the County Agent are cooperating with Mr. Bunch in working out the fol lowing throughout a five to six year farm plan in an effort to increase Mr. Bunch's wields as well as yields of oth" er crops on the sandy land. Chowan County is considered a Jumbo-type peanut producing county. At 'least 90 or more of the peanut acre age is of the Jumbo runner type. The N. C. Experiment station is working on new varieties of peanut seeding varieties that are producing large kernels, large yields and have desired disease resistance. A small quantity : of five of the most promising new va rieties have been planted on the farm of Lonnie Boyce near Edenton to com pare them with our regular Virginia Runner. The varieties are of bunch or semi-bunch type. Observation will be made by "growers and yields will be checked at harvest time FHA Farm Loans Paid Faster Than Required Most North Carolina families who buy farms with Farmers' Home Ad ministration long-term loans not only pay back faster than required, but al so build up their livestock and equip ment and make better use of their Director, says. w; Slack - based his statement on an analysis of the achievements of two groups of borrowers those whose loans were made in 1939, and those who borrowed in 1944. ' ' - v 'Although farm-ownership loans are set up for 40-year repayment periods, he said, 224 of the 300 families who received these loans in 1939 had repaid in full by the end of 1949. Two-iUrirds of the others were ahead of schedule with their payments. The average 1939 borrower still ac tive in the program owned only $242 worth of work stock and equipment at the time he bought his farm, but ten years later valued his work stock and equipment at $1,464. The value of his productive livestock dairy and beef cattle, hogs and - poultry rose from 1320 to $686. , These families' average cash income from farming increased from $759 the year before borrowing to $2,490 in 1949. After adjustments are made for changes in prices received for farm products this represents a gain of 26.6 per cent' : ;;- -.v-.:' :y''V:;;ft Their average net-worth value of everything they owned minus all debtswas $1,265 the year before they bought their farms. Ten years later it averaged $6,507. - Slack attributed much of this prog ress to the fact that farms bought with loan funds are economic family type units capable of producing enough crops and supporting enough livestock to utilise fully Che families' labor supply. Other factors responsible for itheir , progress were -sufficient credit to purchase livestock and equip ment needed to reorganize and make major adjustments in their farmin- operations and supervision and guid- ance given these families by county I supervisors of the 'Farmers Home Ad- I WE HAVE JUST RECEIVED OUR SUMMER SUPPLY OF B.P.S.PAl...Aij,cOtORS.AirINT3S 0 Best P Paint LET US FIGURE ON YOUR PAINT JOBS COME IIS TXD A Y FOR YOUR PAINT NEEDS 4 ' ! ,.

"Most of these farmers had been underemployed," he explained. "Many were itenants or . sharecroppers on small holdings. ; When they bought their farms they worked out; farm- and-home plans, with the aid of our local supervisors, calling for diversi fication, pasture improvement and ef ficient farm management so all their land would be used to the best advan tage." "'r:r-l,vy :". Similar study of records of 276 families who obtained farm-ownership loans in 1944 showed 84 had paid in full by 1949, and. 149 of the others were ahead of their payment schedule. Those active in the program in 1949 had increased their average cash farm income from $1,136 to $2,368, and their net worth from $1,619 to $4,479. They owned work stock . and equipment worth $1,256, compared with only $364 five years earlier, and other live stock valued at $616 compared with $382 before getting their loans. 'Slack said 4,133 real estate loans for farm purchase, development or en largement have been made in North Carolina since passage of the 'Bank-head-Jones Farm Tenant Act of 1937. 3d far -this fiscal year 203 have been approved.
