Loan funds are obtained from the sale of Fed¬ eral land bank bonds to the investing public. This volun¬ tary reduction in interest rate is in line with our policy of pass¬ ing on to our farmer owner- borrowers any savings possible through lower bond interest rates,” Mr. Price said.

Tomato Growers Elect Art Moore The Dade County Tomato Growers Association was organi¬ zed recently One of the goals in the County Agricultural Pro¬ gram was that specialized crops be produced to market cooper¬ atively.

The by-laws for this association were officially adopted and a membership contract developed. Any producers interested in participating in this project may do so by signing the membership contract and pay¬ ing a membership fee of $3. Some 35 to 40 acres of toma¬ toes have been pledged by growers who have attended the meetings and participated in the .organization. Plans to assist members by arranging for the purchasing of plants, insecti cides and containers for market¬ ing on a cooperative plan. The association also plans to grade and package the tomatoes and ,sell the products by grades. It hoped that much better markets can be obtained and therefore more money be realized by the producers. The producer who signs the membership contract agrees to deliver to the association all of the tomatoes harvested from the .acres so pledged.
