first ten days six degrees above
the normal 65 degrees.
This trend continued well into
the second 10 days. The last 10
days cooled off considerably,
and the month ended with 67.7
degrees, which was 2.3 degrees
above for the 31 days. Twenty
one days were in the 70’s, with
the highest temperature of 89
degrees recorded for the first
four days. Fourteen days were
in the 70 degree range. One day
reached only 67 degrees maxi
mum on the 18th.
The minimum temperatures
were mostly in the 60 degree
range for sixteen mornings,
with the lowest minimum going
down to 39 degrees on the 11th,
which was the lowest minimum
recorded for the month. October
ended on a relative warm /
month, and the average tem
perature was 67.8 degrees,
which is 2.3 degrees above the
normal 65.5 degrees.
This is the first instant for
Christmas
seals mailed
to Spalding
Regular contributors to the
Spalding County T. B. Associa
tion are receiving their Christ
mas Seals this year from the
State Office in Atlanta.
James K. Kinkead, president
of the local association said,
“An arrangement has been
made with the State Office to
send the Seals directly this
year. We are trying to cut labor
costs, improve mailing services
and work towards a com
puterized system which hope
fully will involve the whole
state. By Thanksgiving, all resi
dents of Spalding County will
have received their Seals,
some, perhaps, twice because of
the change-over, but all will
have the opportunity to con
tribute.”
When asked about what would
happen to the funds the county
would contribute, Mr. Kinkead
explained that this money
would be returned to the local
office for development of its
different programs on em
physema and air pollution as
well as on tuberculosis., “As
our slogan goes this year,” he
said, “there’s more to do and
it’s going to take a more im
proved system to do it. We hope
and encourage everyone to be
as generous as ever and to use
the Christmas Seals. It’s a
matter of life and breath.”
1971 when the average tem
peratures were above the
normal average, which was the
coldest in many years. Up to
September, temperatures were
25 degrees below the normal for
the year to date.
October had only .82 hun
dreths of precipitation, and so
far into November, we have
recorded the same amount for
November. Both September and
October are normally the driest
months of the year. December
is a relative “wet” month, but
this observer is guessing that
December will also be below
normal in rainfall, unless a
weather situation moves in and
gives us the normal five inches
for the last month of 1971. Rain
for the first ten months of 1971
now stands at 43 inches, which
is about one inch above normal.
For the first half of Novem
ber, the month moved in with
above normal temperatures,
and by the 16th, the tem
perature average was still
somewhat above the normal by
one degree. As of this writing,
the trend will probably continue
for several days, and November
will more than likely end about
normal.
With the present pollution
stuation, this observer rather
suspects that temperatures will
continue to be below normal for
the foreseeable future. Time
will only tell.

Land bank
cuts rates
on interest
“The Federal Land Bank of
Columbia has announced a
reduction in the variable in
terest rate on long-term farm
loans of one half of one percent.
This reduction will be effective
on Dec. 1 on new loans on the
variable interest rate and on all
outstanding variable rate
loans,” according to Marshall
Moore, manager of the Federal
Land Bank Association of
Carrollton.
“This is the fourth interest
rate reduction on variable rate
loans during this calendar year
by the Land Bank which has
been made possible by im
proved conditions in the
wholesale money market and
the continuing increase in loan
volume at the variable interest
rate,” said Mr. Moore.
The interest rate on variable
rate loans charged by the Land
Bank is determined by the cost
of money in the central money
market and the cost of
operations of the Bank and
Associations.
“Land Bank loans are
tailored to the credit needs of
each individual farm operation
and may be repaid at any time
without a prepayment penalty,”
Mr. Moore continued.
“The Federal Land Bank of
Columbia makes long-term
variable rate farm loans
through farmer-owned Federal
Land Bank Associations serving
every county in North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia and
Florida,” Mr. Moore said. The
Bank has loans outstanding to
over 43,000 farmers, growers
and ranchers in the amount of
over SBOO million through the 46
Land Bank Associations in the
four-state district.
The Federal Land Bank
Association of Carrollton serves
the long-term credit needs of
farmers, growers, and ranchers
in Butts, Carroll, Coweta,
Haralson, Heard, Lamar,
Meriwether, Monroe, Pike,
Spalding, Talbot, Troup, and
Upson counties with more than
sl6 million in long-term credit.
