AfltHaistration announced
today that funds for FmHA
real estate and farm
Mpiftating loans were
rctly increased and will
Ibew1 available for the
rerjiJjfinder of this fiscal year
ending June 30, 1973.
V BfoHA State Director
Jlaflls T. Johnson, reported
thsl'lan additional 170 million
fadCfcrs has been made
available for loans to farm
ers for annual .operating
expenses, and for financing
(purchases of farm equip
ment, livestock and other
capital needs on terms up to
iven years.
. These funds were made
Jivaiteble to help fill the need
rr operating money arising
rpm the termination of the
emergency loan program.
Jfihnson said that as a result
ot rains and flooding, both
lat year and this year, $
Nbrth Carolina has about
hall 4s counties eligible for
eniergency loans and will
receive a greater proportion
of the available operating
funds. He further stated that
farmers who were con
sidering purchases of farm
equipment or livestock in the
near future would be wise to
consider these purchases
before June 30, while funds
are in adequate supply.
. Johnson reported that
funds for - long term real
(estate loans for land pur
chase, farm development,
refinancing and other
similar purposes were also
adequate for the remainder
of the fiscal year. These
loans are at S per cent up to
40 year terms and have a
maximum amount of
$100,000.
Both types of loans can be
made to farmers for non
farm enterprises such as
adding a business & their
farming enterprise or for
recreational purposes. Many
North Carolina farmers have
found that ' non-farm
businesses or recreational
enterprises have added
greatly to their farm income.
Farmers Home
Administration has assisted
more farmers this year
through their farm loan
programs than in any other
year, both in loans made and
in dollar volume of total
loans. All loan funds for
these programs are provided
by Farmers Home
Administration through the
insured loan program
whereby the agency resells
its notes to private investors.
This provides a continuous
source of funds without the
use of federal government
appropriated funds.
Farmers interested in
these loan programs should
contact Melvin E. Howell,
Farmers Home
Administration, located in
the Perquimans County
Office Building in Hertford.'
The Southern Pine Beetle. :
one of the souths worst forest
insect enemies, is eating .
away in Perquimans county. ;
A recent aerial survey
made by Jthe ' N.C. i Forest
Service picked up 15 spots of
heavy infestations ' in , the
county. . Many more hw
festations have been noted
from ground checks.
The Southern Pine Beetle
is a small insect which bores
into old age, over crowded or
weakened pines and lays
eggs in the bark. The young
larvae feed on the inner bark
of tree girdling inner bark and
spreading a fungi disease
which helps kill the tree. The
fungi disease, known as blue
stain, hastens the death of
tree and degrades the
lumber. Depending on the
time of year and severity of '
attacks the tree usually dies
within a week or more. The
beetle's life cycle is com
pleted about every 25 days.
There is no saving tree once
beetles have infested. Many
insects attack one tree and
groups of trees amounting to
several acres 4n size; As
many as 200 or more insects
per square foot of bark have
been found in this area of the
state. . . .
The new generations of
beetles often emerge from
infested trees before they
are completely, dead. As tree
dries out the needles turn
yellow and then brown.
One way to tell if you have
bark beetles in the early
stages is to look for little
white globs of turpentine on
bark of tree, the tree will
look like popcorn has been
glued to the bark. On
weakened trees the pitch
tubes may be lacking.
The most effective control
measures at this time Is to
salvage infested trees and
trees within infested zone for
pulpwood or saw timber. .
By salvaging Infested area
this eliminates the young
larvae from hatching out and
going to more pines. When
trees are cut and utilized the
larvae dry.up from lack of
moisture. .
If you have spots of dead or
dying pines pleace contact
County Forest Ransar lwa
Stallings for assistance. The
Forest Service will examine
area, and if insects are
present wilj mark buffer
zone around infested area for
control and help you find
someone to salvage infested
area in zone.
The Southern Pine Beetle
problem is a serious one.
Your cooperation in the
detection and control will be
greatly appreciated.
