Higher Income
Helps Farmers
Reduce Debts
National Farm Loan
Association To Aid
“Food For Freedom”
E. Dana Sutliff, secretary-treas-
urer of Luzerne County National
Farm Loan Association, has re-
turned from a two-day conference
held in Harrisburg with Federal
Land Bank appraisers who explained
changes necessary to render the
services which agriculture expects
of this co-operative credit institu-
tion during the present emergency.
The National Farm Loan Associa-
tion, co-operatively owned by farm-
ers, makes loans available for the
purchase of a farm, for farm needs
and buildings in the proper opera-
tion of the mortgaged property and
to provide elegible farmers with
funds for general agricultural uses.
Rationing of tires and gasoline
have necessitated changes in the
transportation problems of the sys-
tem and these details were dis-
cussed and plans outlined whereby
the work of National Farm Loan As-
sociation can continue with effici-
ency.
Emphasis was placed on the bene-
fit of keeping a normal value as a
primary factor in all appraisals of
farms for loans, since experience
has shown this to be the sound basis
of appraisal in a situation such as
the world faces today.
Extra effort is to be exerted as
a result of the conference to ans}
courage the borrowers to make use
of the higher incomes of today for
the payment of existing debts.
At the same time, borrowers will
be encouraged to build reserves out |
of higher farm prices to bridge the
period when farm incomes may be
lower.
In urging this, the Federal land
bank system has established a
“Future payment fund” in which
farmer’s can put extra income to be
used when money might not be as
plentiful as it is today. The deposit
in the future payment fund earns
the farmer the same rate of inter-
est he is paying on his farm mort-
gage.
Secretary-treasurers will continue
to refuse loans for speculative land
purchases but credit will be ex-
tended to any eligible farmer for
making sound and necessary shifts
or developing a complete farm unit
to meet the needs of the “food-for-
freedom” program.
The purpose of the land bank
system is to bridge the gap be-
tween the individual farmers’ credit
requirements and the money mar-
kets of the country and then to help
the farmer get out of debt.
Fire Destroys

Fire, originating around an over-

en and diningroom furniture but all

fide property holders of Goss Manor
and caused a tie at 117-all between
Floyd Chamberlain, a Clark candi-
date for committeeman, and his op-
ponent Merle Shaver. When Mr.
and Mrs, John Nicholson of Norton
avenue—who have owned property
in Goss Manor since last fall and
registered for the primaries as resi-
dents of that section—appeared at
the polls to vote shortly before the
8 o'clock deadline Tuesday night,
their right to ballot was challenged
by Tom Robinson, a campaign work-
er for Shaver. Surprised and anger-
ed by this interference, the Nichol-
sons left without casting their votes,
thus setting up the tie vote between
Chamberlain and Shaver. Mr. Nich-
olson protested the challenge at the
court house Wednesday. How the
tie will be decided has not yet been
disclosed.
Aside from the tie between
Shaver and Chamberlain, the county
organization scored two other more
or less inconsequential victories over
the Clark forces: in the South dis-
trict of Dallas Borough, county
workers managed to bring about a
slight plurality for Adrian Jones
over Don Wilkinson, the vote read-
ing 57 to 50, and in the South dis-
trict of Dallas township returned
138 ballots for Davis as against 112
for Martin. 0
In the main, however, Clark de-
cisively mastered the vote-getting
power of the Fine organization in
this area, gaining not only more
than a 1000-vote margin for Martin
and the balance of the state-sup-
ported ticket in the Sixth District,
but also the election of 50 commit-
teemen who have pledged his re-
