Loan Office Rates Limited by Law to Two Percent
The new law effective June 10 caps small loan rates at 2 percent per month, or 24 percent annually, four times the rate for bank loans. It contrasts with prior loan sharks who charged whatever the borrower could bear. The Sage Foundation argued for 3.5 percent per month, but the legislature kept the 2 percent cap. Banks could meet borrower needs if they present credit clearly, and small loans remain accessible through regular banks alongside loan offices. The Democrats held a rally in Washington to establish a permanent national headquarters to direct party organization and publicity year round, signaling more intensive political activity ahead. The move is controversial as many fear increased politicking and crime focus in the fall.

Corn Silage For Lambs Reduces Feed Costs And Guides Use
Corn silage for fattening lambs saves hay and grain and lowers grain costs. Begin with a small amount and increase gradually. Ensure silage is high quality, mold free and not too sour. Lambs 60 pounds should receive about 1.5 pounds of silage daily plus grain and hay, with larger amounts possible with proper protein supplementation.
