Q. What is the advantage in hay ing loan insured instead of guar anteed by the VA?
 A. Only 15 per cent of the ob- ligation is charged against the en- titlement of the veteran if the ob- ligation is handled by the lender under the insurance provisions. whereas the charge may be as much as 50 per cent of the obli- gation, if guaranteed. The result is that more of the entitlement is used up in a loan transaction by guaranty and so less remains a. vailable for future transactions.
 Q. I have had no farm exper- fence, but I believe I could learn quickly to operate a farm success fully. Is there any way I can get training under the G. l. Bill so that I could later qualify as a good risk with a lender?
 A. Under both Public Law Is, (Yocational rehabilitation Il d 346 (GI. BilD, eligible veterans are entitled to both on-the-farm training and institutional educa- ton which give them a practical and a scientific knowledge of az riculture.
 o. Does the fact that recRve ether income have any bearing on the amount of compensation I set as a veteran with a service-con- nected disability?
 A. No. Since your compensa tiCn is for a service-connected disabil- ity the amount of income you have will not generally affect the G. mount of compensation allowed to you.
 o. I believe I am entitled to d car under the recent legislation providing vehicles for amputees. How do I go about getting it?
 A. Obtain an application blank from your VA contact office. Upon approval by the VA, take the ap- plication to the state agency e. sponsible for license to operate a vehicle with special appliances. When license is granted, take ap- plication to your automobile deal CT and pick out your car. Dealers will bill VA for cost of the vehicle (nOt to exceed $1600).
