n Page Two Land Bank Credit Is Broadened By New Legislation Credit services of the Federal l^and Bank of Columbia have been broadened by legislation enacted by Congress and signed by Presi dent Eisenhower on August 11, ac cording to information received by Ralph L. Waldrep, president of the Laurens National Farm Loan Association. Mr. Waldrep said the new leg islation increases the Land Bank’s individual loan limit from $100,- 000 to $200,000, expands the pur pose of loans, broadens the base on which loans may be made on part-time farms, and permits the extension of credit to family-type corporations primarily engaged in farming operations. According tp Mr. Waldrep, the new’ legislation will permit the Land Bank to serve many farm ers who previously could not ob tain Land Bank loans. Land Bank loans for Laurens county are made and serviced by the Laurens National Farm Loan Association, of which C. T. Franks is secretary-treasurer.

The fish were delivered by the Fish and Wildlife Service and were grown in the Federal Hatchery at Orang eburg. This shipment represents the largest rfcSmber of bream to be furnished pond otvners of the county since the beginning of the District’s pond program in 1941. The .ponds stocked with bream vary in size from .4 of an acre to 16.5 acres. These ponds were built during the year under the super vision of the local Soil Conserva tion Service Technicians. Whitten Village of Clinton re quested assistance from the dis trict in the planting of 25 acres of alfalfa. The soils of the field were tested by the Agronomy De partment of the Clemson College Experiment Station to determine the need insofar as lime and fer tilizer are concerned. The alfalfa was planted last week under the supervision of Erskine Jacks, dairyman for the institution. Mr. Jacks used the district’s culti- packer seeder in the planting op eration. er for setting out the trees.

The district will secure the fish for stocking the pond at the rate of 1,000 bream and 100 bass per surface acre of pond.
