Loans To Farm Families Up
A total of 12.7 million dollars has been loaned to Kansas farm families since July 1, 1956 by the Farmers Home Administration. This compares with 8,930,000 the preceding year. Marvin Johnson administrative officer said the rise stems from new laws allowing rediscounting of loans and a farm housing loan law. Drought and rising machinery costs are cited as reasons for more borrowing. Loan collections rose to 8.3 million in fiscal year 1957 from 6.6 million in 1956. Floyd E. Hal Smith Center was elected chairman of FHA advisory committee yesterday.
