REID VARNVILLE THE OLD REUABLE BARNWELL Introduces Bill to Stay Foreclosures Senator Smith Moves to Protect Farm ers from Losing Their Farms . and Homes. A bill was introduced in the Senate Monday by Senator E. D. Smith, of ??outh Carolina, for the purpose of re lieving those who, on account of dis astrous conditions, are unable to meet their obligations to the Federal Land Bank and are in danger of losing their farms and homes. In a letter to the editor of The People-Sentinel, Senator Smith .^ays: “So wide is this agricultural distress that I am sure the publication of this effort would be of interest to your readers. ... I hope if you do see fit to publish it, they will write me their views on the matter.” The text of the bill is as follows: “Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Unit- <ed States of America in Congress as- xembled, That for a period of not •exceeding three year's from the date of approval of ,this Act, any Federal land bank is authorized in its discre tion, upon request of any borrower from such bank or of any national farm loan association which ha« se cured loans for its members from such bank, to advance to any such ’ borrower an amount sufficient to cover any installment due at the time of such request under the term s of a mortgage securing the loan to him by isuch bank, if, in the opinion of the bank, the borrower is unable to meet his obligations to the bank on account of disastrous weather or economic conditions affecting the production and sale of farm products. Any amount so advanced shall be used ex clusively for the payment of amounts due on the original loan under the terms of such mortgage, shall be re payable at the expiration of three year 8 from the date such advance was made, and shall‘bear interest at the rate payable under the terms of the mortgage securing the original loan; except that the borrower may repay mil or a part of any such advance at a ay time prior to the expiration of three year* from date such advance is • ~S«c 2 Fee a pined ef net to ex ceed three yea is from the date of approval of this Act, any Federal land bank which has acquired at any time prior to such date the land of any borrower from such bank upon foreclosure of a mortgage securing a lean made by the bank to such bor rower, is authorized in its discretion, if the bank still holds title to such land, to permit such borrower to re deem his interest in the land so ac quired and held by the bank. For the purposes of such redemption, the bank may advance to such borrower a sum sufficient to cover all install ments (iue under the terms of such mortgage at the time of»foreclosure thereof, together with all installments which would have become due under the terms of such mortgage to the time of such redemption and the ex penses incurred by the bank in con nection with the foreclosure proceed ings. Amounts advanced under this section shall be used exclusively for the purposes of such redemption, shall be repayable at the expiration of three years from the date such ad vance wa s made, and shall bear inter est at the rate payable under the terms •of the mortgage securing the original loan; except that the bor rower mav repay all or a pait of any such advance at any time prior to the • expiration ’ of three years from the 1 date such advance was made. “Upon any such redemption, the mortgage sball be revived and contin ued as security for all subsequent in stallments payable under the term s of the mortgage and for the advances made under this section. “Sec. 3. There is hereby authorized to be appropriated such sum? as may be necessary to carry out the pur poses of this Act. The sums appro priated pursuant to this authorization shall constitute a fund to be distribut ed by the Secretaiy of the Treasury to the Federal land banks for making the advances herein authorized. Any sums so distributed to the bank s shall be repayable by the banks without in terest in such manner and under such terms and conditions as the Secretary of the Treasury and the Federal Farm Loan Board, acting jointly, may pre scribe." ADVERTISE IN HOPOCATRUC By G. Chalmers McDermid. Evidently the readers of this pa per are pecan-minded. Never have I received so many letters and phone calls asking for further infoimation on an article than I did last week on my story of pecan yields. So this week I’m going to give you some pointers on pecan fertilization, varieties and culture. If you are planting an acre or so, be sure to put them at least 60 feet apart each way, or preferably 75 feet. These distances may seem tremendous the first few years, but you will find that pecans aie very rapid growers af ter their real growth starts. A good standard nut is the Stuart. This nut will do well in practically any part of the State. The Schley is, of course, the best nut, but doesn’t do so well in the coast country, and ex cept a few trees I would not advise your planting it for commercial pur poses. The Money-Maker is a good su^e cropper. It is a small nut, but bears a good crop almost every year. Mr. Whitfield Watson, of Orangeburg, ha s developed a new variety which he calls the Gloria, and which is a real good nut. This splendid nut is well worth trying out. Success is also a good nut. In planting, set the “whip” just a little bit deeper in the soil than it was in the nursery row, and make your hole ‘'plenty wide” so that you have plenty of loose soil. Cut. off broken roots and firm the soil. Mix some bone meal with the soil and put this around the tree. Do not let this come in contact with the roots. Next year and the third year put either some bone meal or some 7-5-5 fertilizer around the tree and work it in well. About a quait to the tree. From the fourth to the seventh year increase your 7-5-5 fertilizer an nually in proportion with the growth of the tree—up to about ten pounds when your tree has a diameter of six inches three feet from the ground. Pecans generally start hearing from 7 to 10 years. At this stage, cut your down, and apply from 10 to of 8*3-10-per tree in middle of February. In early June follow tlu* with an application of a pint to a quart of nitrate of soda or sulphate of ammonia per tree. The first few years of your tree’s life, the 7-5-5 fertilizer should be ap plied in February or March, and if you find that the tree is not making maxi mum growth a little nitrate of soda or sulphate of ammonia applied in the early summer will help. In cultivating, remember, always plcw your soil the same depth each year. This gives the root system a chance to get established and to func tion normally. If you cut the roots in plowing, deep one year and shallow the next, and deep again the following year, you hurt growth and will prob ably lose a crop of nuts by so doing. Stable manure, well rotted and used conservatively, is a splendid fertilizer. Put it down in the fall or winter. Letters to Santa Claus Dear Santa: I am a little boy 8 years old.
