early lead and at no time was there
any doubt as to the outcome OF the

hit the basket. outlook showed the
best teamwork displayed this eason
Saturday the team played Brock

Farm Debt Advisory Committees

DROUTH LOANS IN
nation NOW over
"a million DOLLARS
Large Sums Are Used For
Purchase of Feed; Monthly
Reserve Is Allowed

Over 365,000 emergency drouth
loans ~aggregating $24, 900, 900 have
been made to western and middle
western farmers and stockmen since
the drouth fund appropriated last
summer became available, Governor
w. |. Myers, Farm Credit Admins
~tration, states.
Just yer 100000 of the loans
amounting to about 1000, 900 rep
resented initial advances. primarily
for the purpose Of purchasing feed
for livestock; and 1865, 900 supple
mental advances have been made
a~ggregating $4,000, 900. Ordinarily
such loans are made In monthly ad-
vances, limited to amounts required
per head for the stock to be fed.
With the approach of severe
weather conditions over many sec
tons where feed is short 1t Is very
important for borrowers who need
feed and have no other source OF
credit to make application for emer-
gency loans early SO there will be no
delay In acting upon them due to
suddenly changing weather condi-
tons or other unforeseen factors
Governor Myers said. THE funds
available for the emergency feed
loans are limited" he continued,
and no farmer or stockman should
borrow or spend unnecessarily for
feed: but where the stockman can
anticipate his later needs with reas-
enable certainty, he should apply
early, whether or not the feed is to
be purchased Immediately.
I'm parts of the primary drouth
areas where winter weather condi-
tions will prevent transportation Of
feed, range livestock operators may
obtain funds to purchase a reserve
feed supply, such advances being Sc
cured by liens on the reserve supply
and on the stock to be fed" the
governor stated. 1.-THE monthly adj
vances are made on the basis Of the
borrowers promissory note.
In addition to the reserve feed
Loan Mr.. Myers said, sthe borrow
er may apply for regular monthly
allowances and hold his extra two
months feed supply in reserve for
emergency purposes when transpor-
tation may be cut off. Then, In cas-
es where the monthly allowances are
obtained without interruption and
the reserve supply retained through
the winter. the latter will take care
OF feeding needs In February and
March next year and under such
conditions advances to the borrower
for those months will not be heces-
sary."
