FARM REFINANCING
BY u. S. DECLINES
Increased Income and Emergency
Federal Loans Given Credit
for Reduction.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Increase Of farm income throughout
the country, coupled with emergency
lending by the administration, has
resulted in decreased demands for
Government refinancing Of farm
mortgage debts, according to report
today by w. I. Myers, governor Of
the Farm Credit Administration.
Reduction in the number Of appli-
cations Is a reflection Of the lessened
need for refinancing caused by lending
more than $1,000, ,000, 900 on farm
mortgages and an improved economic
position Of farmers over q large part
Of the United States" Myers said.
Southern States show the greatest
decline in number of applicants, ac-
cording to the report. In the New
Orleans district there was q decline
of 70 per cent. The national average
was 81 per cent.
