Q. How did squshy worms get
the name of caterpillar?
A. Caterpillar arose from the
English INSTRUMENTATION of the
Old French catepelose, from the
Latin catta pilosa, hairy cat"
However. the French word for
caterpillar is no longer cate
pelose. The French word now
is chenille, pronounced; shuh-
NEEL. The tufted cord which
we land the FRENCH speak of
as chenille is SO called because
of its resemblance to a hairy
caterpillar. Strangely enough,
the French word chenille comes
from the Latin canicula, which
means little dog"

U. 5. Farm Loans
Hit S1S,555,OO0,
Agency Reports

Record farm ownership loans
of more than $18.555.000 have
been insured so far this fiscal
year by the Farmers Home Adj
ministration, the Agriculture De-
partment. reported this week.
The highest volume of lending
previously reached was in 1851.
when loans totaled $17,569, 900
for the entire fiscal year.
Increased participation by pri-
vate lenders in, the insured farm
loan program is one Of the main
reasons for the record breaking
farm loans. r. B. McLeaish. the
programs administrator, ex-
planned. Farmers Home Admin
istration loans are granted from
funds made available by banks,
insurance companies, and other
private lending institutions.
Mr.. McLeaish pointed out that
insured loans enable the Farm
ers Home Administration to
serve more of the real estate
credit needs Of family-type
farmers and reduces the amount
that must be borrowed from the
Government.
Farm ownership loans are
used by tenant farmers to pur-
chase family-type farms and by
small farm owners to develop
their holdings into efficient FAM
ily-type farms. Loans also may
be used to construct or repair
farm houses and other essential
farm buildings.
Loans are repable over a pc
Rod of 40 years, Building i'm
provement loans, however, are
due in a shorter period.

lender willing to make . VA
home loan.
In many areas Of the coun-
try where lending institutions
will not make FILA and VA
loans even today, many fam
lilies are unable to buy homes
without relatively large down
payments and relatively high
monthly payments.
Prefer Different Policy
It is not surprising. there
fore. that some savings and
loan association leaders and
other lenders should be critical
Of Government-type loans. or
that they would prefer to have
the Eisenhower administration
pursue a tighter-money policy.
If the money supply were to
be frightened, lenders would
have more leeway III being able
to make higher-interest-rate
loans Of the conventional type.
A year or so ago. the adj
ministration did make an out
right "hard-money" move with
unhappy results, which subse-
quently 1t took steps to correct.
The 3A per cent long-term
government bond it then issued
Is still selling at 6 points above
par, and there appears to be no
indication that another OUT
right step in the direction Of
deflation is contemplated.
Most recent move on the
housing finance front by OPP
ponents of the Governments
program was publication of a
set of recommendations" by
a panel organized by a ma
tional magazine Of the home
building industry and re-
ported to have included II Of
81 members of the Presidents
Advisory Committee on Hous-
ing Policy.
Want Government "Out"
1.-THE less help home build
ing has to accept from Gov
eminent. the better for our in
dustry," the magazine reported
the panel declared. Instead of
increasing our reliance on
government. we must prepare
to take more responsibility
for If government takes all the
risk. government will take more
and more complete control.
Central point In the recon-
mendations was a call for dis
banding FILA. which has been
