Charge For Helping
Farmers Apply for
Loans is Prohibited
Farmers who apply for loans this year
trorn the $90,000,000 fund authorized
by Congress for crop production loans
should refuse to pay any fees for help
in the preparation of their loan appli
cations, it was declared by John E.
[■’ 'tpman, Fie l Inspector of the Crop
F: oduetion Loan Office, stationed at
Camming.
The law as enacted by Congress this
year specifically prohibits the charg
ing of any fee for the preparation of
the application, Mr. Freeman explain 1
ed, and provides for fine or imprison
ment, or both, for any person found
guilty of assessing such a charge. No
tarial fees, however, are still necess
ary, as are fees charged by the counts
recording official for recording the
lien given as security for the loan,
and for searching the records for
prior lie! s.
Prosp n tive 'borrowers need not
write to Washington for application
blanks and detailed information about
the loans, Mr. Freeman said, but may
get that material direct from Kim.
The application blank this year re
quires a statement of the amount of
the loan desired, the number of acres
for which seed and fertilizer are to be
purchased, the amount desired for
feed, and the amount desired for fuel
and oil for tractors. The application
also requires a statement of the
amount of the loan which is to be used J
for making repairs or for the purchase
of other supplies. The sum total of
these several items must not exceed
the maximum rates per acre spectfied
in the regulations. ,
A legal description of the land on
which the crops are to be planted is
also required, together with a state
ment of the acreage of crops grown 1
by the applicant in 1932, and the yield
obtained. The applicant is required
to file a statement of seed and feed
on hand at the time of applying for a
loan.
To obtain the loan, the application
blank stipulates, the applicant must
agree to use the money loaned only
for the purchase of supplies necessary
for crop production in 1933 on the land
described. Prospective borrowers
must also state that they have neither
the means nor the credit with which
to secure these production supplies, l
and that unless the loan is granted, !
they will be unable to farm in 1933.
Significant difference between the 1
1933 and 1932 regulations governing i
crop production loans are that this j
year the maximum permitted to any i
one borrower is S3OO, and that, to qua- j
lify for a loan, borrowers must agree *
to reduce their acreage of cash crops j
30 per cent below their 1932 acreage, j
provided their farming operations are
above a specified minimum. As in [
1932, a first lien on the 1933 crop is
required. Loans are to be repaid on J
or before October 31, 1933. The regu- *
lations make it unlawful for any per
son to dispose of or assist in dispos
ing of any crops given as security for
any crop loan, except for the amount \
of the Secretary of Agriculture and
provide for fine and imprisonment for
violation of such requirement. The
regulations require each borrower to
agree to plant a garden for home use
and to plant sufficient acreage to pro
vide necessary livestock feed.
