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

by a first lien on the crops, or, In
case of feed Ioans, a first lien on

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.

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.
