Credit Available
But Not Farms At
Reasonable Prices

Qualified World War II veterans
who want to buy family-size farms in
Allegany and Garrett counties will
have little trouble getting adequate
credit but may have trouble finding
farms which can be bought at reason
able prices, William H. Babylon, Coun-
ty Supervisor for the Farm Security
Administration, said today.
Babylon said that the "GI Bill of
Rights" makes veterans eligible for
Bankhead-Jone Farm Purchase Loans
on the same basis as tenants. These
loans, made through FSA, may be fol
as much as $4,000 and are repayable
over 40 years at three percent in
terest
"The veterans big problem will be
to find a farm which can be bought at
its long time earning capacity value,
Babylon said.
He said there are plenty of Ale
gany and Garrett county farms fol
sale, but that prices are inflated. The
County FSA Advisory Committee
which Babylon said must approve all
farm purchase loans, had indicated it
will turn down any application to buy
farm at more than its earning
capacity value.
Babylon said that he and members
of the Committee, all local farmers
are helping veterans search for good
farm purchase opportunities. $50 fan
the pickings have been SLIM" Babylon
said.

THERE has been a great deal
of discussion recently concerning
juvenile delinquency. which IN
plain language means bad pe-
havior in children. 1t is we'll recog-
nized that certain physical disor-
ders may be contributing causes
for such bad behavior.
One of the physical disorders,
which seems to be especially I'M
portant, according to Doctor Alo-
ysius S. Church of New YORK, is
ma%lnutrition. For example, 1t IS
known that a child who does not
