by banks, insurance companies,
or other institutions having mon-
ey to invest. Since ithe recent
change in the money market, ac-
tivity by investors has greatly
increased.
During the past six months,
the national monthly volume of
new insured loan business has
risen from approximately $1,-
250,000 to $5,000,000 a month.
For either a direct or insured
loan the farmer pays 4*2 per
cent interest. If the loan is in-
sured, the lender or investor gets
a clear 3% per cent and the Gov-
ernment guarantees payment of
both principal and interest.
The full guarantee and the
money market change have put
many local banks in position to
contribute to a stronger local
agriculture by helping farmers
otherwise unable to buy or im-
prove their farms, Mr McKin-
zie said.
After a 5-year period the pri-
vate lender may sell ithe insured
note to the Government for the
amount of principal and interest
due, may arrange for sale later,
or may hold until the note is
fully repaid. In case of default,
the Government stands ready to
take the note over with no loss
to the investor. The Farmers
Home Administration takes care
of all collection and servicing de-
tails.

Henderson—The 1958-59 plant-
ing season of pine seedlings is
rapidly drawing near
There may be need for site
preparation on some of the places
where you plan to set out pine
seedlings.
Planting sites may be treated
in different ways. Sites with
heavy sod of bermuda grass
should have a shallow furrow,
not deeper than 1-2 inches, open-
ed ahead of the planting machine
on the contour. This furrow
should be &bout sixteen inches
wide so that Ithe packing wheels
of the machine can fit into the
furrow and do a good job of pack-
ing. This can be done by an at-
tachment on the planting ma-
chine rather than in a separate
operation.
Some sites might be effectively
burned over about a month be-
fore planting. Be sure to use
proper fire control measures in
your field burning. Disc a 4' to
6' fire lane to mineral soil and
set your fire at the edge against
the wind and burn toward the
center of the field. Also, burn on
a still day.
A field with weeds only and
little sod mighit! be effectively
prepared by using a rotary type

weed cutter. This should be done
at least a month before the plant-
ing date.
Discing a field with heavy
weed cover prior to planting
causes improper packing of soil
around the seedling roots due to
pieces of large weed stems.
The Texas Foresi: Service urges
all landowners who plan to plant
seedlings this winter to take
special care in preparing their
planting sites to insure a better
survival of seedlings.
