BIG INCREASE IN
NET WORTH MADE
BY FSA FAMILIES
The farm families in Texas who
are borrowers of the Farm Security
Administration have increased their
aveiage annual net income 42 per
cent, or from $470 to $669, it is re-
vealed by a new nation-wide survey
comparing the status of FSA bor-
rowers in 1940 with their condition
before coming into the progTam
Results of the survej, just com-
pleted in Washington, were received
by Phylon H. Cox, County PSA Sup-
ervisor, from C. T Watson, acting
state director of FSA.
Total annual income of the 29,658
Texas FSA borrowers covered in the
survey was increased by $5,899,273,
the survey showed. This growth in
prosperity and purchasing power,
Mr. Cox said, is refelcted on the
books of merchants and other busi-
ness man in Texas.
The families aire making satisfac-
tory progress in the repayment of
their long-term loans. They have al-
ready repaid $17,188,077 on loans
totaling $35,912,207, although much
of this money does not fall due foi
four or five years.
Mr. Cox said that none of the bor
rowers were able to get adequate
credit anywhere else and that many
of them formerly were in dire cU-
cumstances.
"In view of this fact, the repay-
ment record of Texas FSA borrow,
ers is a tribute to the honesty ano
industry of these needy farm peo-
ple,'' Mr. Cox said. "There is ample
evidence that the majority of them
are getting back on their feet and
becoming permanently self-support-
ing."
Their progress, Mr. Cox explain-
ed, is due in large measure to the
t^lvice and technical guidance in
sound farm and home managemem
which accompanies each Farm Secur-
ity loan.
During 1940 the average Texas
FSA borrower produced $295 worth
of goods for home consumption, as
compared with $166 before coming
into the FSA program.
Goods produced for home use in-
cluded 423 gallons of milk per fam«
ily, 388 pounds of meat and 287 qt*.
of vegetables and fruit canned for
the winter.
Another important phase of Farm
Security's rehabilitation program, Mi.
Cox explained, is adjustment of the
family's old debts.
"Local Farm Debt adjustment com-
mittees are set up for this purpose.
They have no legal authority to com-
pel adjustments," Mr. Cox said, but
by bringing the farmer and his credi-
tors together, they usually are able
to help both parties reach a friendly
understanding and settlement."
This service, Mr. Cox said, is avail-
able to ail farmers, whether or not
they are FSA borrowers, and credi-
tors as well as debtors may apply for
assistance.
Besides its rehabilitation program.
FSA is carrying out the Bankhead-
Jones Farm Tenant Act, Mr. Cox said.
This act provides a limited number
of loans to competent tenants to en.
able them to buy famrly-size farm.-.
During the first three years of this
program, 1,048 tenant purchr.se loans
were made in Texas ami the program
is to be expanded during the coming
season.
