Several large companies SET
up plantations to grow ramie
Ground was. cleared of worth
less vegetation, alligators, rat
tiers and water birds, and was
ditched and drained.
Now that land is covered with
a luxuriant plant with dark
green leaves and yellowish write
flowers on stems that grow about
a half inch thick and anywhere
from five to six feet tall. Har-
vesting is done by hand and ma
chine.
Laboratories report that ra-
mic is seven times stronger than
wool and eight to II times
stronger than cotton, about nine
times stronger than silk and
twice as strong as linen.
Ramie will not shrink and is
resistent to mildew and rot. 1t
has a silk-like sheen, will hold
a crease and dye.
Mems sport coats are the first
garments to be made using the
new ramie. IL
The ancient fiber is ready for

Old as it is, the silk-like sub
stance is the newest thing in
cloth for the well-dressed man

The fiber found its way to
this country from China and the
Near East in mats, table cloths
and ornamental cloth pieces. The
Japanese, who imported it from
the Philippines, wove ramie
with silk to give it more weight

and wonders just what will be

Which organizations will have
done the most work? What big
builders, what big investors will
be here then. Who will compose
the city commission and the
county commission. Principally
under II all one wonders what
ideas will be in the city then,
what aims to the city's growth,
what civic minded motives
There will never again be the

will be new magic along the

the 360-acre farm, previously rent

Farm Security administration,

Faced with 1900 debt, contract

Loans to Veterans for Farm Purchases
And Operating Costs Reach High Peak

Setting new high in Farm Secur
ity administration loans to veterans
5,400 ex-servicemen were financed
in purchase of farm operating
equipment or family farms within
two-month period, according to
figures released by department of
agriculture.
The loans, made during March
and April, constitute nearly third
OF the total number the agency
has approved for veterans during
the last two years, FSA Admin
istrator Dillar B. Lasseter an
nounces.
Declaring that the agency expects
the record lending to continue, Las
setter reports that more than 10000
veteran applications now are being
processed in county offices.
More than $4,000 veterans already
have received FSA assistance. Ap-
proximately 1000 of them obtained
farm purchase loans under terms
of the Bankhead-Jones farm tenant
act from an earmarked fund set
up by congress. The rest have
loans to buy machinery and live
stock or for other operating
needs.
Soaring real estate prices and
lack of productive farms for sale
have handicapped veterans in their
quest for farms, Lasseter says.

Guidance Plan
Aids Farmers
Getting Loans

Individual guidance in good farm
and home management practices is
provided by Farm Security admin
lstration with all loans, the depart
ment of agriculture emphasizes.
Each loan, the department re-
ports, is based on sound plan for
farm and home management that
is worked out by the borrower and
his family. The plan shows items
the farmer intends to raise, his esti-
mated operating expenses and in
come he may expect to make.
A FSA supervisor, schooled in eff
ficient farm methods, helps each
family make and carry out the plan.
He will supply information on how
to select and care for livestock.

good farm methods into practice. In
most rural counties home super

Main objects of the guidance plan.
according to FSA, are to help the
farmer "get the most income from
his work, obtain a good living for
his family and repay his loan"
