PORTABLE HOME
FOR CHICKENS
FSA MAKES PROVISIONS TO
TAKE CARE OF NEcES-
SARY PROTECTION

DALLAS, Tex, May 3.-The
Farm Security Administration
has developed portable farm as
sets-even gardens, hen coops
and fences-to help tenant farm
ers fulfill FSA loan require
ments.
c. M. Evans, regional FSA di-
rector, explains that such loans
are made only to those farmers
with at least one source of cash
income besides cotton.
OWner-tenant cooperation of
ten cannot provide the necessary
Improvements, SO the FSA work
ed out the portable farm idea.
Now the tenant who likes to raise
chickens, for instance, in order to
be eligible for loan need not be
afraid of leaving his coop behind
when he moves. The average cost
of portable home for 100 hens is
less than 500. 1t can be disman-
tied and re-assembled with little
trouble.
The portable garden plot con-
sists of fertile soil within a
frame about 18 inches deep, four
or five feet wide and as long as
desired.

WOULD AMEND
LOAN MEASURE
BILL RELATIVE TO ISSUE
INTRODUCED IN LEGIS-
LATURE

TALLAHASSEE, May 3. -
(FNS) Warning groups in the
Legislative battle over the ques-
ton of compelling Florida salary
buyers" to come under the reg
ulation of the uniform small loan
law girded for a showdown dur
ing the fourth weekend recess
with a house bill on the calender
and senate measure before a
standing committee for further
study.
The bill, sponsored by Rep. j.
P. Marchant, of Lakeland, would
amend the small loan bill to in
Iclude the salary buyers, whose
operations have been exposed in
ia booklet written by the Polk
county legislator prior to the
Eopening of the session.
In his brochure, Rep. Mar
schant cited reports of grand jury
investigations to show how the
salary buyers, who now operate
loutside of state regulation, charge
interest as high as $40 per cent a
year as contraSted with the three
and one-half per cent month
allowed the regulated small loan
companies. If the Marchant bill
passes, all small loan companies
would be limited to the present
legal rate allowed under the uni
form law, which was adopted in
1925.
Other bills are before the leg
islature pertaining to the small
loan business in general. One of
these would repeal the uniform
act and another would cut the in
terest rate to two per cent a
month.

REVENUE MEASURES
ARE SPEEDED UP
BOTH BRANCHES OF LEGIs.
LATURE FIND FIFTH
WEEK VERY BUSY

TALLAHASSEE, May s.
(FNS) With the dismissal of the
Dade county suit that impounded
approximately $750,000 in the
counties racetrack revenue, lead
ers of the legislature predict that
the fifth week of the session
would find both branches speed
ing up work on major appropria-
tons and revenue bills.
Speaker G.. Pierce Wood told
Florida News Service that he be-
lieved his division would first
approve the appropriations bill
and then take up revenue-rais-
ing measures.
I'VE should get on the ap-
preparations bill next week, "
Speaker Wood said. The ques-
ton of providing the revenue
will follow as matter of
course"
Only one new revenue bill of
major classification is before the
legislature. 1t would levy a tax
on cigarettes. But plans were
afoot to place a general sales tax
bill on committee dockets during
the sessions fifth week so that
the measure might be ready for
consideration, if it is found all
sources, new and proposed, are
insufficient to finance govern
ment.
