rate on loans to two percent ex-
tending the repayment period
from 25 to 35 years to enable REA
bcrrer more neatly to make cleo
tricity available 10 all potential

Among such potential users are
said to be thousands OF small

back roads and in somewhat iso-
lated areas of the South because
they often find it difficult to buy
or rent land more favorably sit
