Plan to boost farm credit The federal gov't plans to boost the ceiling on individual, long- term farm mortgage loans to $20,000 from the $15,000 under to new "supervised” credit pro- gram, informants disclosed re- cently, The maximum loan likely will. be based on 75 per cent of the appraised value of land and buildings, up from the present 65 per cent, while the life of the loan would remain unchanged at 30 years. The new program would be undertaken under the direct supervision of Agriculture Min- ister Harkness and would in- volve scrapping of the present Canadian Farm Loan Board, which reports to Finance Mini- ster Fleming. These details were learned after Mr. Harkness .initiated parliamentary machinery to re- peal the present farm loan legis- lation established' 30 years ago and set up a new organization under his own jurisdiction. Mr. Fleming would still be re- sponsible for farm, improvement loans, made by banks under the federal. guarantees. These loans, up to a maxmum of 10 years, are to finance any purchases to improve farms. W. G. THOMPSON • HENSALL and Sons Limited • Weed Spray (Niagara Brand) 2.4.D AMINE, 80 oz. M.C.P.

County 'Federa- tion of Agriculture meeting held June 10, considerable discussion was devotees to the recent state- ment given at the London con-' Terence of. the United Church on farm marketing legislation in, general and the ' hog marketing program in particular. (The committee on evange- lism and social service "de- plored” the unhappiness and bit- terness which developed over the hog controversy and ex- pressed concern over farmers' lack of knowledge in regard to organized. marketing.)

From all this controversy I have arrived at two conclusions: First, the Christian church stands for fair play and equality for the individual. Under the hog marketing plan every hog of a given quality returns the same price to the producer whether he be large or small, rich or poor. Secondly, there are few in the county that attend as many meetings of rural people as I do. At federation meetings, beef producer,, hog producer, poultry producer, milk producer, cream producer meetings I meet the same people. Then on occasion when. I attend a meeting of lay- men or a Sunday School confe- rence I find again the same peo- ple. From this I would suggest that if the churches do a good job of producing a Christian they —Please turn to page 12 At a directors meeting Tues, day night, :Huron county hog pro, ducers requested the establish, .lent of .a new co-op assembly yard at Hensall..
