JiUCormick e&engcr TRUE TO OURSELVES. OUR NEIGHBORS, OUR COUNTRY AND OUR GOD. Thirty-First Year Established June 5, 1902 McCORMICK, S. C. Thursday, March 23, 1933 Four Pages Number 42 « Local Inspector Explains Basis Of 1933 Crop Ijoans Tfliree hundred dollars is the most that any farmer may borrow for crop production loans in 1933, J. L. Calhoun, Field Inspector for the Crop Production Loan Office in this community, says in announc ing details on the proposed loans. Applicants who are in arreas on as many as two previous loans made by the Secretary of Agriculture may not. borrow more than $100. Loans for crop production in counties where fertilizer is not commonly used will be based on the approximate cost of the sup plies needed, but can not exceed $3 an acre for general field crops and $12 an acre for truck crops, includ ing potatoes and sweet potatoes. Loans for buying fertilizer will be made only in counties where a rep resentative of the U. S. Department of Agriculture certifies that fert ilizer is necessary. In these coun ties loans for supplies, including fertilizers shall not be more than $6 an acre for general field crops, $10 an acre for tobacco, and $20 an acre for truck crops, including po tatoes and sweet potatoes. Not more than $1 an acre of thcso amounts is to be used for repairs and miscellaneous expenses other than seed, fertilizer, feed for work- stock and fuel and oil for tractors. Additional sums (within the lim it for each farmer) may be borrow ed for fighting insect pests and plant diseases. These are to be not more than $2 an acre for spraying and dusting materials to protect cotton and tobacco, $4 an acre for spraying and dusting truck crops, and $25 an acre for fertilizer and spraying and dusting materials for bearing fruit trees and vineyards. Farmers intending to apply for loans need not write to Washing ton or regional offices, but may secure the - application forms from hhw Mr. J. L. Calhoun says. Loans will be made only to farmers who f»nn not secure credit elsewhere, and who can not farm unless they can secure the loan. To have a loan application ap proved this year, a farmer must agree to reduce his acreage 30 per cent under that grown in 1932. The 30 per cent withheld from cultiva tion may be sown to soil-building crops. A first lien on the 1933 crop is required. Loans are due Octo ber 31, 1933.
