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.

A total of 126.950 bhiegiil
(bream) were delivered to 43 co-
operators of the Laurens Soil
Conservation District on Tuesday
of this week for the initial stock
ing of their farm ponds. 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. There
are many such areas, as the above,
in Laurens county that could well
be planted in pines. Farm con
servation plans as are encouraged
by the supervisors of the Laurens
district cover and recommend just
such land use.
J. B. Hunter is constructing
a stock watering pond on his farm
in the Lanford section with the
help of cost-sharing payments
through the local ASC office. Mr.
Hunter’s pond when full will be
about 2 acres in size. The pond
was surveyed and layed out by
the local technicians of the Soil
Conservation Service. 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.
Joe Holliday of Barksdale and
Dan Watkins of WattsviUe were
assisted this .past week in the con
struction of terraces. Both farm
ers used the district’s motor grad
er to build the broadbase type of
terrace to 90S specifications. Both
farmers are also using their cost-
sharing payments through the kv
cal ASC office to help in the cost
of terrace construction.
Bailey Williams of Laurens has
requested assistance from the
district in planting pine seedlings
on approximately 25 acres of land
7 miles south of Laurens.
The land is rough and eroded
and has not been profitable for
the production of crops. Therefore
says Mr. Williams, “I am going
to plant it to pines and forget it.”
He will use the district’s tree plant-
