County Platted From Air For Farm Crop Checks
Frederck county uses air plats to survey farms for compliance with the Agricultural Conservation program in 1938. About 206 prints cover the county except Middletown valley. Fourteen supervisors will mark boundaries and list crops and building practices. Screens will assess if surplus crops have been reduced and payments prepared after field checks. Wheat insurance meetings drew large crowds with plans for sign up, closing August 31.

The FHA is insuring mortgages at $22 to $24 million weekly, well above prior estimates. Builders typically aim for a $3,000 to $3,500 home on a $990 lot with about $4,500 in guaranteed financing.
