MIR Dillon said, "The re-
cord of Holmes County farm
families using Farmers Home
Administration credit proves
once again that with ade-
quate credit plus technical
advice on farming problems,
small farmers can operate
successfully under modern
agricultural conditions.
"The family farmer is not
obsolete, as some commenta-
tors charge. Given access to
the best farming information
available and capital to do a
modern job of farming, he is
and will remain the main
stay of the states agricultur-
al economy"
