$805,760.00 in these three
counties. The average cost
of homes built or pur-
chased was $16,295.
Under the emergency loan
program, which was opened
to all people who had suf-
fered losses due to the
drought last year, loans
were made to some nineteen
families. These loans totaled
$141,670.00
Five families were as-
sisted through the operating
loan program by obtaining
credit through FHA. These
five loans totaled $73,430.
Four more FHA borrowers
obtained a total of $7050.00
from banks by FHA subordi-
nating their interest to these
banks.
One farm family obtained
assistance In purchasing
additional acreage this year.
Their loan of $6890.00 will
enable them to increase their
operations and raise their
level of income. This loan
came through the farm own-
ership program.
The various loanprograms
of Farmers Home Admin-
istration are designed to
help rural America by help-
ing rural families. The ad-
ditional $1 million provided
by FHA this year has stim-
ulated growth of the area and
the local economy. This
money is in addition to any

private lending agencies in
the area. That is--anyone

another lending agency at

FHA assistance.
Currently, the most ac-

housing as shown by the

proved last year. With the
1973 fiscal year just be-
ginning as of July 1st there
