The plan was outlined at a Chicago meeting with H T Reger and 70 officials. The agency aims to increase farm housing loans and use of private capital insured by government. Loans remain conditional on lack of credit elsewhere and progress toward private sources.

State's Apple Crop Cropping
In Martinsburg West Virginia growers predict a four million bushel apple crop this year after pooling notes with State Farm Superintendent Ed Gould. Last year the state produced about five million bushels with 85 percent from the panhandle. The forecast cites 75 to 80 percent of last year's crop due to heavy rains reducing pollination. Gould notes western mountain areas likely have better pollination conditions.
