Credit Plan
TENANT FARMERS, TOO

Farmers who are unable to OBJ
tain financial credit from local
banks, Production Credit Associa-
tions, or other sources for operat-
ing their farms during 1885 will be
interested to learn that emergency
crop production loans are now
available through the Farm Credit
Administration in Washington, ac-
cording to an announcement which
has been received by County Agent
Russell E. Wilson, who has been
handling these loans for Kent
county farmers during the past
four years. William l. Myers, gov
ernor of the Farm Credit Admins
tration, has announced that crop
loans amounting to $GO,0O0,000 are
now available to farmers through
out the United States, and will be
distributed through regional offices
which are located at Baltimore,
Md; Springfield, Mass; Memphis,
Tenn; Dallas, Texas; st. Louis,
Mo-; Minneapolis, Mimi; Salt Lake
City, Utah; Omaha, Neb; Wichita,
Kans.; and Spokane, Wash. Farm
ers eligible for these loans are
those who are cooperating with
the crop control program Of the
Agricultural Adjustment Admins
tration, and each borrower will be
limited to a maximum loan of $500.
Those farmers who have not sign
ed crop reduction control con-
tracts with the Federal Govern
ment also will be eligible to apply
for these crop loans provided they
will agree to not increase the acre
age of their crops this year over
that of previous years. Tenants
who are operating farms on the
crop share basis will be required to
obtain waiver of agreement
signed by their landlord before the
loan APPLICATION can be considered
by the Farm Credit Administra-
ton, as lien cannot be placed on
one-half of the crops planted or to
be planted. All applications for
loans in each county must be pass
ed upon by county loan commit
te before the papers are forwarded
to the regional loan Office, and ap-
plication blanks may be obtained
at the county extension Office. The
loan committee for Kent county in
cludes Jesse S. Burton, chairman;
Thomas G. Cook, and ]. A. Frear,
who have served in this capacity
ever since these crop loans were
fifirst issued in this county by the
Federal Government.

BETTER ROADS
FOR FARMERS
House Passes Bill To Insure
Federal Aid For Second
airy Roads
THROUGH BOND ISSUES

Broad expansion and rehabilita-
ton of the secondary road system
being taken over from the counties
by the State is seen in a measure
approved by the House Tuesday al
tering the financing authority of
the Highway Commission to make
it possible to secure Federal funds
for these roads. 1t was introduced
by Representative Simon. The
measure is an amendment to the
law under which the Highway
Board was created. 1t would give
the board the right to issue serial
bonds to save on interest. It's vital
feature, however, is the fact it
would authorize the board to issue
bonds for construction of second
ary roads. This would meet the
Federal regulations for highway
grants to State and it is believed
it will mean the State will receive
greatly increased annual Federal
grants for highways. Hitherto the
secondary roads have been exclud-
ed from such Federal grants be-
cause the counties could not re-
ceive them. The secondary roads,
now, however, will be regular State
roads, on practically the same bas-
is as State roads that have always
been such. There are many sec
ondary roads which need recon
and others which need
considerable repair, it is pointed
out in connection with the new
bonding authority the bill would
give the board. Surveys, more
over, have shown the need for en-
tirely new roads in many sections.
These new roads and the improve
ment of old ones are expected to
increase the value of the main
traffic arteries by making the ar
terial system, already put in top
notch shape by the Highway De-
partment, accessible to MANY large
rural areas over fast tributory
roads.
