Livestock Development
Forecast For County
Greater development of live-
stock during the past year than
in aid the preceding five year's
combined was reported today for
Delta county families served by
the Farm Security Administra-
tion. The report was made pub-
lio by Carter D- McKenzie, FSA’s
county supervisor.
He estimated that not more
titan 20 per cent of larmers who
could profit by thej FSA service
are now receiving it “The re-,
maining 80 per cent include many
.who db not realize the
ia available from FSA,”
Kenzie said. “They do
help that | hut
Mr. Me-
not even
realize their need ■ ” He suid that
these farmers are in many case,
running only jone or two cows on
16 or 20 acres of pasture because
they do not know they can get
financing to increase their herd-
The greatest handicap to the
livestock program in Delta coun-
ty is the lack of winter pasture,
it was reported. The wooded
aieas which predominate here are
poorly adapted to the types of
grasses now prevalent and FSA
is planning a pasture improve-
ment program.
Sixty to seventy per cent of
the FISA borrowers in some coun-
ties are producing all of their
food requirements at home or
paying for this food out of pro-
ceeds of their livestock, it was
shown. In some/ counties, only
15 per cent of the bororwers are
completely on th» “live at home”
fcasis. How-eve’-, practically none
•cl these* fannies were producing
this sujsiutonoe before entering
.into the FSA program.
Considerable lesistencc by
ft liners to jaaking out a detailed
fr*m and home ph*n was ic^ort-
especially amon..> those just
v.nterfng the program. “Most o'
these borcrwHc eventually come
t> appreciate the value of plan-
ning, and a large per cent of them
after a year or two say that they
could not get along without it,”
the supervisor said
Satisfactory progress was re-
ported on a cooperative
program
with the Federal Lank Bank, un-
der ..hich borrowers who are id
distress on their Land Bank pay-
ments are eligible for supplemen-
tary assistance from FSA. Loans
are being made to about one-third
of those referred to FSA by the
bank. Some of the farmers de-
clined to accept rehabilitation
loans because of the provision
thrt they must follow out a farm
and liome plan. Others owe more
than they think the iami is worth
and do not desire to pav it. out
merely to stay on until, the
bunk finally takes their land.
Worn out soil, acreage too small
for economic operation, and ad-
vanced age of some' owners were
mentioned as other handicaps to
progic this activity.
The ,i:perviaor reported diffi-
culty in getting prospective bor-
rowers to list their debt, reduc-
tion of debts by voluntary agree-
ment with creditors being con-
sidered essential in many oases
before a sound plan, of rehabili-
tation can be developed. At-
tempts are made to get these
debts listed and adjustments made
at the time the farmer is taken
into the program, but in many
cases it takes several years to
get the borrow to list everything
that he owes.
Co’lections in this district were
reported as being 20 per cent
more than the total amount due
as of December 25, 1930. The
excess of collections over matur-
ities was explained by the fact
tha* many of the borrowers this
yeai repaid amounts which had
been Delinquent in previous years.
About three-fourths of the col-
lections came from cotton, the re-
maining one-fourth Ifirgely from
livestock products. Thiee years
ago, fhe supervisor said, at least
9C per ceni of collections
from cotton alone.
