FHA Loans Now
Available for
Conservation
Soil and water conservation
loans are available to eligible
farmers in Brantley, Charlton,
Pierce and Ware counties, Seth
M. Kellam, county Farmers
Home Administration supervisor
said this week.
The loans may be used to carry
out measures for soil conserva
tion, water development, conser
vation, and use, and drainage.
This will include the construc
tion and repair of terraces, dikes,
ditches, ponds and tanks, the est
ablishment and improvement of
permanent pastures, basic appli
cation of lime and fertilizer, tree
planting, well drilling, and the
purchase of pumps and other ir
rigation equipment.
The new loan program was
made possible by legislation re
cently passed by the 83rd Con
gress.
Soil and water conservation
loans may be made from funds
supplied by private lenders and
insured by the Government or
from funds appropriated by Con
gress. Loans from appropriated
funds will be made only when
insured funds are not available.
Loans, either direct or insured,
will only be made when the ap
plicant is unable to obtain the
Credit he needs at reasonable
rates and terms from other sour
ces. The Farmers Home Admin
istration is authorized to insure
loans up to a total of $25,000,000
•ach fiscal year. In addition, for
fiscal 1955, the Congress appro
priated $11,500,000 for this type
of assistance.
Applications for all loans, in
sured or direct, will be made at
the county office of the Farmers
Home Administration located at
501 Pendleton Street, Waycross,
Georgia.
The 3-member county commit
tee of the Farmers Home Ad
ministration will certify the el
igibility of applicants. Applica
tions from veterans will receive
preference in processing.
Loans will be made to Larry
out only the types of soil and
water conservation practices that
are in accord with the recom
mendations made by the Exten
sion Service and the Soil Con
ser-ation Service.
Soil and water conservation
loans will not be available for
annually recurring costs that are
generally considered as farm
operating expenses.
To be eligible for a soil and
water conservation loan, a farm

he has reasonable prospects of
conducting successful farming
operations and be unable to ob-

tain the necessary credit on
reasonable terms and conditions
from private and cooperative
sources.
Non profit associations such as
incorporated water associations,
mutual water and drainage com
panies, irrigation and drainage
districts, and soil conservation
districts are eligible for a loan
when they are unable to obtain
adequate credit elsewhere and
meet certain other conditions.
For example, associations to be
eligible must be primarily engag
ed in extending to their members
services directly related to soil
conservation, water conservation
and use, or drainage of farm
land.
The loans will be scheduled
for repayment within the short
est period consistent with the
ability of the borrower to repay.
No loan will be scheduled for
repayment over a period which
exceeds the useful life of the
improvement or the security,
whichever is less, In no case will
the repayment period on loans
to individuals exceed 20 years.
Loans to associations will be re
paid on the same basis as indivi
dual loans but in exceptional
cases can be amortized over pe
riods up to 40 years. Each bor
rower will be required to refin
ance the unpaid balance of his
loan when he is above to abtain
a loan at reasonable rates and
terms from other sources.
Individuals can borrow
amounts up to $25,000. It is ex
pected that the average loan to a
farmer will be less than $5,000.
Water facility loans last year
averaged $4,600. Loans to associa
tions have a ceiling of $250,000.
All loans will be secured by the
lien obtainable on chattels or
real estate to the extent neces
sary to adequately protect the
Governments investment.
Applicants will obtain whatever
technical assistance they need
from the Soil Conservation Ser
vice, Extension Service, other
agencies, individuals and firms.
Technical assistance of this sort
from the Farmers Home Adminis
tration will be limited to a re
view of the engineering and
economic soundness of the im
provements to be financed. The
Farmers Home Administration
will also take whatever steps are
necessary to make sure that loans
are used for authorized purposes
and that the Construction carried
on with*loan funds meets requir
ed standards.
When necessary, farmers who
use loan funds to finance major
land adjustments and extensive
reorganization of their farm busi
ness will receive assistance from
thd county supervisors of the
Farmers Home Administration in
the development and execution of
sound farm and home plans. ,

NEW CIRCULAR
ON SUGAR CANE
NOW AVAILABLE
A new circular on sugar cane
production has just been releas
ed by the Agricultural Exten
sion Service of the University of
Georgia, and copies of it may be
obtained from county agents or
by writing the Extension Ser
vice in Athens, W.A. Sutton, as
sociate director, announced this
week.
The publication points out that
sugar cane, in reality a tropical
crop is an important cash crop
on many farms in south Georgia.
The circular was written by
J. R. Johnson, agronomist for the
Agricultural Extension Service,
and E. S. Lyons, soil technolo
gist for the U.S. Department of
Agriculture’s Research Service.
Johnson and Lyons point out
that harvesting the sugar cane
crop in the late fall does not
conflict with other farm work.
‘•The acreage per farm is usually
limited by the capacity of the
milling and syrup cooking equip
ment’,, according to the authors.
•‘lt is easy to grow a larger acre
age than can be harvested.”
The publication deals with 13
topics related to the production
of sugar cane. Among them are
climatic adaptation, soil adapta
tion, varieties, seedbed prepara
tion, time of planting, crops to
precede sugar cane, planting and
spacing, cultivation, fertilization,
and the time to harvest.

It’s got a “V” in its bonnet—
or your choice of two new sixes!
It’s.the valve-in-head V 8 as only
the valve-in-head leader can build it!
You’d expect Chevrolet to out-V8 the field—and it has! Chevrolet’s
new "Turbo-Fire V 8” puts a brand-new kind of excitement under your
foot. The excitement of 162 horsepower! The excitement of an 8 to 1
. ultra-high compression ratio that squeezes more pure fun out of a
gallon of gas than you ever dreamed possible! The new "Turbo-Fire
V 8” is so efficient that it requires only four quarts of oil instead of the
usual five or more. And it has the shortest piston stroke in the low
price field, for longer engine life. But we can t even begin to give
you the whole story here. Come in and drive the new "Turbo-Fire V 81”
With enough new advances
to fill a book!
Chevrolet offers two new highstepping sixes for 19551 There’s the new
"Blue-Flame 136” (teamed with Powerglide as an extra-cost option)
and the new "Blue-Flame 123.” Both bring you new, higher-rated
power—the zippy, thrifty high-compression kind. Both have new, more
efficient cooling and lubrication systems . . . new engine mounts that
result in almost unbelievable smoothness. And. like the new "Turbo-
Fire VB,” both are sparked by a new 12-volt electrical system for finer
performance and faster cold-weather starting They’re the Tvchcst,
smoothest sixes Chevrolet ever put into a pa^.^ ^cr car!
