M. Oar wood, production credit commls- , aloner of the farm credit admln- . titration, , The maximum amount which will be made available to any one farmer this year, la $250 and the minimum Is S25, accord ' lng to the regulations. The ln- : terest rate will- be 6 M per cent per annum. Provisions for tak ing eron liens have been worked out under Mr, Garwood's direc tion and detailed regulations will be nlaced In the hands - of local emergency crop loan committees within the near future. - The time and place where these com mittees will receive applications , will be made known locally . within a short time. Applications Made Direct Before any farmer may secure loan, however, he must first obtain a statement from the county production council where one exists, tbat he does not In tend to Increase his acreage production In opposition to the agricultural adjustment adminis tration program. Where a county production council has not been set up, the applicant will have - to give satisfactory evidence that he Is cooperating with the production control program or tbe agricultural adjustment ad ministration, before his appllca- tion for a loan will be consm- ared. Applications tor loans from 125 to S160 may be made di rectly to the emergency crop loan offices provided the appli- - cants do not have sufficient - security to obtain loans else where. A farmer applying for a loan of f ISO or more must first make application for a loan to the pro duction credit association serv ing his county. Rejection of his application by the - production credit association will be con- sldered sufficient evidence that ' other credit is not available and : the farmer may then make ap plication to the emergency erop , loan ofrlce. Emergency for Tear 'The emergency crop - loans are entirely separate from, and are not to be confused with produc tion credit association loans. The emergency crop loan fund Is an emergency relief measure for this year only, to make avail able funds to those who cannot qaallfy through the regular channels of a production credit - association. . In announcing the regulations Garwood said he could not em phasize too strongly that the emergency crop loans are to pro vide a means ot temporary re lief for .this year only, and that this year's loans probably will oe toe last or their kino. farmers who have a sonrce of Income other than farming are not eligible for emergency erop loans. Manner of Use ' The fund will be used to make loans not exceeding the cash cost of growing crops during the year 1934, for summer follow ing, and for winter wheat to be planted In 1934 and harvested in 1935. An amount from the . fund, 'not to exceed 11,000,000 may be used to make loans to purchase food for livestock in areas designated by the gov ernor of the farm credit admin istration as drought and storm- stricken. The fund may not be nsed to make loans to replace worn-stock. Loans from the fund may not oe usea tor tne payment of ex isting debts, rent, taxes or past- aue accounts. Tbe emergency crop loan fund act is an emer gency relief measure and not a refinancing measure. Loans are to be made only to farmers who need relief to Jielp carry on the basic farming operations neces sary in making a living. The money was appropriated for the specific; purpose of producing, planting,- fallowing and cultivat ing crops, and for feed for farm livestock in drought and storm stricken areas. The act imposes a very severe penalty tor using loans from the fund for any other purpose. Although the maximum amount of an emergency erop loan to any one farmer Is S260, as au thorised by the regulations, no farmer will be loaned any more than the cash cost ot producing the crops. The regulations re strict the amount that may - be loaned to the tenants of any one landlord In any one county to 1500 and also restrict the amount that may be loaned per acre, depending on the kind of crop being grown. No Oilier Loan Ready - All funds will be advanced to the borrower at the time the loan is made and not on a budget basis. The borrower must make the amount ad vauced run ' him ' through the entire season,, for it the money la used up before the crop Is finished, or it the money Is spent for any other purpose, ad ditional advance will, not - be made. Loans may be made to a bor rower before his crops are plant ed provided a first lien may be taken on the crops growing or to be grown as security tor the loan. In some states, according to the law, a first Hen may be taken on crops to be grown dur ing the season even though the cropa have not been planted. In other states this is not per mitted, mere it win be neces sary for the borrower to agree to give a first lien on the crops to be grown. All loans from the fund are to be secured by a first lien on all crops growing or to be planted or grown or harvested during the year 1934: in, the case of summer fallowing or the production ot winter wheat a farmer must give a first Hen, or an agreement to give a first Hen on such crops to be har vested In 1935. Borrower Handles Balance In case ot loans to renters or share-croppers, the landlord will have to waive his claim to the rent or share ot the crop. The law requires this. On the other hand, all tenants or share-crop pers benefitting from any loan to a landlord must waive their claims to the crops It the land lord is to receive a loan from the emergency loan fnnd. The recording fees or other legal fees In connection with emergency crop loans may be paid by the farm credit adminis tration np to 11.00. The bor rower must pay the balance, it any. Emergency- crop loans will mature when the crops are har vested and available for sale. No loan will be made to any Indi vidual who has shown lack ot good faith in repaying feed and seed loans made to blm in pre vious years. It la evidence ot failure to observe good faith if DUKE OFFERS CHANGES FOB CITY CHARTER borrower has outstanding un paid balances for two or more years which cannot be attributed to crop failures for which the borrower could not reasonably be held responsible. In each ease the farmer Is the applicant If he is not eligible loans may not be made to his wife, unmarried children, mem bers of his family or employees. No instructions have been re ceived locally relative to ap pointment of local - committee necessary to pass on applications for seed loans. It Is possible, however, tbat the same commit? tee tbat handled this last year will again be asked , to devote some time to this matter. The 1933 committee consisted of Mrs. Ida Odell, chairman, A. R. Camp bell and Earl Mack. The county agent was also asked to sit In with tbe committee in 1933.

To City Attorney A. L. Len vltt for study and recommenda tion went three matters which came before the city council Monday night. They were: 1. Petitions submitted by' Fred Duke proposing a charter amendment to make the police chief elective and to abandon police civil service. 1. Ellis from tbe Klamath Valley hospital tor - hospitalisa tion ot two Injured men taken to the hospital by the police de partment. . 3, An ordinance providing motor traftto load limits and designating streets ' on which heavy loads may be hauled. Klccted Chief Proposed The initiative petitions, as an nounced some time ago, propose a charter amendment for vote in May which would make the po lice chief elective and otherwise revamp the police department. The chief's main qualifications would require tbat he be a resi dent and taxpayer for two years. He would make the rules, run the city prison, and name all officers for such a time as Indi cated at the time of their ap pointment, but not to exceed two years. The minimum strength ot the police department would be 11 men and two sergeants, and min imum salarlea would be $140 per month for sergeants - and 3120 tor regular patrolmen. Two years' residence would be re quired ot officers. Civil service for the police department would be abandoned, but would be re tained in the tire department. Under Duke's proposal the sal ary for the chief of police would be 1250 in comparison with the present scale of J160. It has been pointed out that the 1250 would exceed any present city administrative office salary. There was some question as to what to do with the petitions. but it was decided they should be referred to the city attorney, Councilman Thomas -remarked he didn't think much ot the proposed amendment. The Hospital bills provoked a discussion ot the city's coopera tion with the county In support ot tne county isolation hospital ana tne benefits toe city was supposed to get from that Jnstl- tution. The bills were for Alen- xo Casanero, $16.60, who was taken to the hospital for treat ment of 12 stab wounds: George Toppenlsh, $109, who fractured his jaw when he tell while run ning from city police. There s no fund to nay such bills," said Mayor Mahoney. But tbe police department can't let a man die on tbe street." Tbe matter, after discussion, was re ferred to the city attorney for recommendation. Truck Travel Set The ordinance regulating heavy motor traffic was drawn by At torney Leavltt, and after being read was returned to him for proposal of certain amendments regarding streets designated for heavy hauling. The ordinance would make It unlawful to run a steam engine, gasoline or threshing machine over the streets, or any othor machine with commuted or cleated wheels. Heavy hauling would be subject to the limita tions u the state truck and bus law, and the streets on which It would be permitted after amendment of tha ordinance, aro: Riverside street, Main street from Riverside to Second street: Second strcot from Main to Klamath avenue; Klamath from Second to Eleventh street; Sixth street for ita entire length south ot Klniuuth avenue; llrond street from Sixth to Oak street Market street from Sixth to Oak street: Spring street from Sixth to Oak street: Oak street from Spring to High street; High street -from Eleventh to Tenth street: Tenth street from HIkIi to Prospect; Prospect from Tenth to Oregon avenue, and Oregon avenue . on out - ot the city. , , Slough Monaco Presented The city health Inspection or dinance was . ordered amended to provide a now "cold Inspec tion" fee for all livestock car cases Inspected In tbe city. The new fee is 25 cents for the first inspection, and 15 ceuts for each one, thereafter. Junior- tire department plans were outlined by Couucllmnu J. B. Hosklng and Fire Chief A. W.
