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.

finitely taking its place with the out
out standing county fairs of the
state according to S.F. (Heinnie)
Heumann, president of the fail­
board nd manager, since the intro­
duction of the rodeo in the pro­
gram.
Comments from over the county
last year were favorable to the
continuance of the rodeo as an en­
tertainment feature, and, therefore,
the board felt justi ied in improving
the rodeo equipment. The “layout”
at ths fair grounds is now among
the best, and the flood lights, which
will be ready for the first evening
per ormance, will be an advantage
to both performes and spectators.
Best Rider* Entered
The best riders in the northwest
have entered fbr the various events,
due, in part, to the fact that the
dates Of the fair are happily sit­
uated betwees dates of the larger
and better knwn rodeos. Len Perk­
kins .formerly of Yuma, Arizona,
but now a Columbia county rancher,
will be the arena director. Mr. Per­
kins is an experienced rodeo per­
former, having ridden two years at
Madison Square Garden, as well as
at Cheyenne, Calgary, Pendleton, ’
Chicago stadium and the lesser
shows of the west and northwest.
The stock will be furnished by Duf­
fy Knorr and the Christenson Bro­
thers of Eastern Oregon.
Rodeo Begins Friday
The rodeo will begin Friday even­
ing, continue Saturday evening and
linish Sunday afternoon, when the
inal of the show will be run off
and trophies and prizes awarded.
Thursday will be St. Helens day,
and the Whiskerino and Imp clubs
will have a major part in opening
the fair.
The two clubs in uniform will
make a colorful spectacle as they
march into the arena as a pare of
the
flag raising
each
even­
ing, and as many troops as possible
will take part. The 1 lag will be il-
lminated by a spotlight durring the
evening show.
In the afternoon there will be
Roman and Chariot races and a
running each day of a heat in the
Columbia derby, which is open to
Columbia county-owned horses and
riders only. Bernice Kelly and her
