Houston Land
Bonk Sets New
Record In Loons
John C. Storey, manager of
the Federal Land Bank
Association of Spur, announced
today that the Federal Land
Bank of Houston has reduced
the interest billing rate on
variable loans to 7 percent.
"This reduction was effective
January 1, 1972 on all variable
rate loans and affects more
than 177 million dollars in loan
volume to more than 5,000
Texas farmers and ranchers,"
Storey stated.
The variable rate loan plan
which was introduced by the
Houston Bank in July, 1969., lets
the interest rate "Float" over
the variations in the money
market. This is the third time in
the past year that the billing
rate has been reduced. "Con-
tinued improvement in the
money market has made this
reduction possible and is in line
with the Bank's policy of
providing farmers and ranchers
of Texas credit at the lowest
possible cost consistent with
sound business practices,"
Storey stated.
The Federal Land Bank of
Houston closed more than 100
million dollars in loans during
1971. The previous record for
loans closed in a single year was
set in 1965 when the Bank closed
more than 94 million dollars in
loans.
"Farmers generally have
been a little more optimistic
this year, a little more confident
of the agricultural economy,"
Storey stated. "Then too, the
number of land sales are up
somewhat this year over the
last year." Next year will also
be a big year. Storey predicts.
"By midyear we will have the
new Farm Credit Act im-
plemented. This will permit us
to lend more money in some
instances and will also broaden
the scope of our loan service to
agriculture in other respects,"
he stated.
The Federal Land Bank of
Houston makes farm and ranch
real estate loans throughout
Texas and on December 30,1971
had more than 575 million
dollars in loans outstanding to
over 35,000 farmers and ran-
chers. The local association
makes and services loans in
Crosby, Dickens, Kent
Stonewall Counties and a
portion of King County. Officers
and directors of the association
are: John C. Storey, manager,
E. H. Flournoy, Jr., assistant
manager, Joe Jennings,
Lorenzo, R. H. Farris,
Crosbyton, Donald Wooten,
Crosbyton, Coy Morris, Aft on,

Now that spring is rapii
approaching, final plans shoui
be made on how large this
year's garden will be and what
will grow in it.
If this year's garden plot
needs mulching it should be
done in the next two weeks
Loosening and watering
garden pioi should be done m
This will aid in the d<
position of mulch and prevail
from taking badly needi
nitrogen from the gardi
plants. Straw or burrs with
light amount of barnya
manure is an ideal mulch fi
this area.
If straw is used be sure it
not contain a large amount of
weeds or plant seed which
would sprout and grow in the
