Richland, Roosevelt, Dawson, Nc
Cone and western Mckenzie

prospect for the crop. A process
ing plant is contemplated in this
area to be built by General Mills

These companies are joining in
the safflower development. Paclf-
ic Oilseeds will handle acreage
development and field service

payment is possible, depending on
oil content.
Farmers who could not be pres
ent at the sign-up meeting r
urged to contact County Agent
Dean Davidson or Harley Roath,
who will explain the contract and
the growing of the safflower. Ac-
cording to DR.. Claassen, a field
man of the Company will soon be
assigned to the area and will then
continue to contract acreage. He
urged that interested growers

Farm Building
Loans Are
Available Now

The construction and repair OF
farm houses and other essential
farm buildings may be financed
by Farmers Home Administration
loans, Charles j. Metully, Jr., the
agency's local county supervisor,
said this week.
Farmers Home Administration
loans are provided only when a
bank or other lender cannot ade-
quately serve the farm owners
credit needs, at the present time.
The agency does not compete with
conventional or cooperative lend
ers, MIR. Metully said, but does
supplement the credit services
supplied by other sources. Bor-
rowers agree to repay the hous-
ing loans within the shortest time
consistent with their repayment
abilities, but no loan schedule can
go beyond 33 years. The interest
rate is 4 percent. This is a real
estate loan which is secured by
a real estate mortgage. This can
be either a first or second mort
gage.
Although building loans go only
to farm owners, an owner may
borrow to repair or build a house
or other essential farm buildings
for his tenants or farm laborers.
A borrower must be an American
citizen. Any farm involved must
be big enough and operated in
such a way as to be considered an
actual farm, and 1t must produce
a substantial part OF the oper-
ator's annual cash income. Farm
ers cannot use farm housing loans
to buy land or refinance debts.
Farmers may buy their build
ing materials wherever they
please, usually from local dealers.
They obtain their building plans
from any reliable source they
choose. The Farmers Home Ad-
ministration has a limited number
of plans that applicants may use
if they want to.
The Farmers Home Administra-
ton will not finance construc-
ton or debts incurred before loan
closing.

kiwanis, Farmer
Guests Hear Talk
On Livestock

Dean Davidson. program chairman,
presented A. p. Davies as the speak
er for the day at the Kiwanis
meeting last week. Mr.. Davies is the
director of the Department of Live
stock and has spent a lot OF his time
at w. D. c. representing the livestock
industry.
Mr.. Davies began his talk by saying
that farming is MOI SO much a way
OF life as 1t is a business. and live
stock represents about 500 of the
total income OF the farm.
Agriculture is a business that is
of a NATIONAL scope which has a
decided ON a national basis. Our poll
cy in the past has been for many
years attached to the price control
OF the so-called basic commodities,
bat it seems hat this policy has wor-
ened the agricultural problem in
stead of solving it. 1t also seems
that the net result has been a prob
lem of SURPRISES.
Many factors have contributed to
the changing farm problem. What
ever the answer, ii will not be a
simple one. While there has been ar
increase in the longevity of mar to
keep him in the market longer, there
has also been an increase in pro-
duction to offset it. The farmers
standard of living is the highest of
any soil worker in the world. In
fact. the farmer has $500 invested
in his farm for every $1,000 the fac
tory owner has in his factory. Of
the 4.800,O 900 farms in the u. S. only
a very few of these will produce more
than $50 of the agricultural COM
produced. Moreover, the
farm population today consists of only
about 1870 of the total. which again
was not so even in Washington's time.
Many farmer guests were brought
by the Kiwanians to hear the
speaker from Chicago speak on the
nterrelationships of business and ag-
riculture.
Kiwarian Don Kingery introduced
Hansen as the new student
Of the month for November. DOYLE
.otson was the student of the month
for October. Pres. Al Johns presided
at the meeting.
