ASSOCIATED AND CENt&AL PRESS SERVICE Government’s Policy On Seed Loans Lenient One Method of Procedure Explained by R. L. Sheppard* Field Agent Here; Say t Every Consideration Will Be Shown Where Honest Effort To Pay Made OoaMirtble confusion inrme to oootrptfc seed loon borrower* who oro producing insufficient cosh crops to portfei* government Icons, ond mooy are la o quandary as to the policy of the government regarding their corn and feed crops, R. L. Sheppard gw rm>T~t field agent here, sold iodsy It Is not the policy of the government to break up a borrower by requiring the sole of the entire crop of food stuffs, where because of dlseaee. drought, hailstorms or other provid ential hindrances he failed to procure sufficient cosh crops to liquidate his loans, Mr. Sheppard said. Whore a borrower has applied the proceeds of his entire cash crop to hie loan end there remains a balance due ttvc government, and where such bor rower has done all ip his power to do the honest thing towards his obliga ti the government will bear with him, provided ttrrunge ments can be made with landlords is Cano* involving tenancy, the field agent said It is explained that since Ihe landlords have signed a waiver in fnvor of ihc government’s first lien, an extension ran not be granted with nut the consent of the waiving land lord,* because of ilie fact tiiat where uo foreclosure takes pla«x there might b»- it presumption of equity on the part of the landlord It is further explain ed that in the case of the tenant mov ing to another farm, it will be neces sary to reach an agreement with the present landlord and the new landlord whereby the new landlord takes the pladc of the present landlord who has waived his rights. This is explained, it is stated because it would be un fair to the government to allow the use of foodstuffs on an extension without adequate protection as to col lection rights, it being necessary for the new landlord to waive only tc the entent of the unpaid balance, and not to the extent of the entire crop except such portion as is necessary to pay the balance due by the borrower. The government expects borrowers to pay every cent possible “without dis furnishing himself of feeds for hi? stock and family." said Mr. Sheppard who added that any surplus above the actual necessity of home needs for use during tho growing season, will be ex pected to be applied to the loans. Ms. Sheppard, who has hoadquar tei • in Henderson, said today he ex pe»-ts to spend considerable time no* in cheeking up sales of crops ut vb rituis warehouses in the surrounding counties in this State, as well as ir Virginia, to determine what crops. Il j any. have been sold without the pro ceeUs being applied to governmen* loans He explained that, in general ] borrower* in this section appear ti j be making an honest effort to pa> ] their loans in the face of low prices but it is required of him to see tbat the interests of the government art fully protected against diversion of crops in payment of old or secondary llicna against crops under Federal croi mortgages. He explained that there h nothing to fear by any one who hai complied with the warranted agree monts ns contained in the mortgages or in the applications preceding the granting of loans. • .... j Any borrower who is unable to see ! the field agent in person on Tuesday; at Henderson may communicate with | “ .

The fruits of friendship and the ap preciation of friends meant more to him than any wordly possessions or considerations, and he left this world : n the knowledge that the riches of ’he spirit were already stored up for him in another world. Rarely did Captain O’Berry ever talk about himself, although he would talk about almost anything else. He also was generally optimistic, although he never minimized the seriousness of the period through which the State has ticen passing for more than two ycurs now. A year ago, when others were saying that better times were Just around the corner and that con ditions were going to get better soon. Captain O’Berry maintained, but not for publication, that times then were nothing like as difficult as they would be this year and to a large extent fore told the situation as it now exists. It. was this ability to look facts In the face without flinching and the ability to prepare for conditions thnt largely enabled him to meet condi tions os they developed and to all times keep the State’s finances in iuch perfect condition. Just a few days ago, while busy dgning some 1.100 checks to regiater •d holders of North Carolina bonds as a part of the payment of $6,305,- 030 which he made January 1 on the State's indebtedness. Captain O’Berry talked of the excellent credit stand ing of the State, of the solidity and growing popularity of North Carolina bonds. He declared that It was his firm conviction that North Carolina was in as good if not better condition financially than almost any other state and that It would receover more quickly than other states. He believed in North Carolina. On his tomb this epitaph should be carved: “He Died Doing Good. He gave Ms life for hie State.” Connecticut.
