"Stay at Home” Firemen Urge FSA Loan Now Debt Ajustment Made Available Available Columbia county farmers unable to secure sufficient operating cred it from local banks or other credit agencies can now apply 'lor Farm Security Administration loans as funds for the new fiscal year, be ginning July 1, have been allotted to the county and should be suffic ient to take care of local needs, announces Lewis A. Nichols, Coun ty FSA Supervisor, Room K, Post Office Building, Astoria. Loans Diversified “Ljans can be made either for individual operating goods or for cooperative facilities,” said Nichols. “Rehabilitation loans for necessary livestock, machinery, feed, seed, household equipment and similar goods are made to individual farm ers on the basis o>f sound farm and home plans worked out in coopera tion with the supervisor to utilize the full reourees of the arm. Loans carry five per cent interest and run from two to five years. Cooperative Service Available “Where two or more eligible farmers desire to cut their operat ing costs through joint ownership and use of purebred sires, farm machinery and other equipment ton costly on an individual ownership basis, a community and cooperative services loan can be made. These loans usually run for the average li e cif the facility purchased.” Requirement* Applicants for FSA loans must be bona fide farmers, unable to secure adequate credit from other sources, and have satisfactory tenure of a family-sized farm on an ownership, purchase contract, rent, lease or share crop agreement. Farmers may apply for loans at the county FSA o Tice, Room K, Post Office Building, Astoria, be tween 9:00 a. m. and 12:00 noon on Saturdays and between 9:00 a. m and 4:00 p. m. on Mondays. Many Columbia county farmers whose operations or tenure are threatened by accrued debus they cannot hope to meet, are solving their problems through the help of the local farm debt adjustment committee, reports Lewis A. Nichols, County Supervisor, Farm Security Administration, Post Office Build ing, Astoria. “Farm debt adjustment services are available to all 'armers or farm ci editors in the county where volun tary negotiations between debtor and creditor may result in reestab lishing operations of a farm on a sound basis,” Nichols said. “Where foreclosure threatens or a serious situation has developed, the Farm Security Administration through the county debt adjustment committee, county supervisor, or dis trict FDA specialist attempts to voluntarily work out a fair and equitable basis upon which the debts can be met through an under standing between debtor and cred itor.” All negotiations are held in the strictest confidence and nearly al ways result in a friendly settlement satisfactory to both parties concern ed, it was explained. Adjustments are usually effected through con solidation o' debts, amortization of old obligations, reductions through cash settlement or refinancing, and similar devices. Application for assistance may be made directly to the County FSA Supervisor, Post Office Building. Astoria.
