L. Thompson, Field Super visor of the Emergency Crop ..nd Feed Loan Office. Loans are made for the produc tion of all cash crops, including vegetable and fruit and are also made for the purchase of pi«,, ac tion of feed for livestock. No loan made to any borrower shall ex ceed $400 nor shall a loan be si made in the calendar year which, together with the unpaid principal of prior loans made that year, shall exceed $400 in amount; thus, a borrower who has obtained a maximum Ioan and who has repaid all or part of it may re-borrow to finance his farming operations u.itil the maximum of $400 is again reached. “This means,” said Mr. Thompson, “that it is possible tor a truck gardener or a fruit grow er, for example, who produces both early and late crops, to obtain twi or more loans during the calendar year.” The rate of interest is 4 per cent a year. Loans are secured by a first lien on the crops, or, In case of feed Ioans, a first lien on the livestock. 0. S. C. to Test For Rubber Promising rubber-producing plants that might possibly be adapted for growing in Oregon will be tested here as soon as they are available,, says G. II. Hyslop, head of the plant industries division at Oregon State college. Professor Hyslop re cently returned from Washington, Coming Need Increased D. C., where he conferred with Mr. Thompson pointed out that iederal officials on this subject. the availability of these small loans Interest in such plants was in creased recently with announcement by the ’ National Farm Chemurgic council that a form of dandeliort known as Kok-sagyz is grown in Russia as a source of rubber. The suggestion was made that this plant could be grown in the midwest and possibly here on the coast. Drive Safely and— ICcfuel When Necessary Heath’s Service Station Senator Interested As this announcement came while Professor Hyslop was in Washing ton, he immediately conferred with Senator Charles L. McNary, who is much interested in a new source of rubber. A conference was „eld with officials in charge of rubber plant investigations in the bureau of plant industry, where it was learned that this particular dande- lion plant, while considered of ec- onomic importance under Russian conditions, would hardly be suitable here. Reports obtained by these speciar- ists show that the plant yields only 30 Ito 50 pounds an acre of rubber rather than the much higher yield suggested in the press releases re- cently issued. Guayule, a rubber- bearing plant grown now in south western United States, is considered much more practical for use in this country than the dandelion plant, Frofessor Hyslop learned.
