Farmers Told How
To Borrow Money

NJ. I. Coleman, local super
visor for the Farmers Home
Administration, this week NAM
ed four points that successful
farmers follow in making good
use of credit.
His statement was part of a
review of 20 years of expert
ence in the farm credit field,
and was made at a training
meeting of Farmers Home Ad-
miniStration county commit
teemcn held al Florence. Also
atter.iine this meeting were
Mr.. Ernest w. Johnston, Jr..
and MIR. Needham T. Todd, loo

FIRST. a successful farmer
plans every step he is going 10
take. figures costs carefully
and borrowS only as much as
he needs.
Second, he considers both
price and quality when buying,
gets several cost estimates, and
compares the relative value of
new and second hand equip
mcnt.
Third, he borrows only to
finance money making enter
priScS.
Fourth, he builds up a good
credit rating. He plans his pay
mcntS to come due when in
come will be available for debt
payment. He takes proper care
of security property. He makes
his payments when due.
Mr.. Coleman said these cred
1t principles gain yearly in i'm

more complex and farm costs
increase.

City LasOOns
Nm Operation
BY Harold Mercer

Bacteria and algea, worms and
snailS started working for the
Sidney residents on a 24-hour
basis year around on September
10th of this year when the CITY
started to use the new sewage
lagoons.
The two lagoonS, 81 acres each
In size were constructed on the
fromer property of Harvey john
son, southeast of Sidney. Total
cost of the project was approxi-
mately $15O,OOO. Sidney received
a federal grant of 800 of this
cost.
AS explained in the National
Civic Review, the solids in the
sewage drop to the bottom of the
lagoon where they are disposed
of by worms and snailS. Remain
ing sewage is attacked by bacteria
and by oxygen which is produced
by algea under the stimulus oil
sunshine.
Conservative government esti-
mates indicate that in northern
states each acre of lagoon is ade-
quate for 200 people. This means
that the IA acres owned by the
city of Sidney will serve a mini
mum of $4,000 people.
Controversy has arisen about
