100 ALREADY HAVE ' APPLIED FOR LOANS $125 Is Average Amount Asked in Burleigh County, Says Agricultural Agent tely 100 Burleigh county farmers already have made applica- tion for federal seed loans to finance crop production this year, H. O. Put- nam, county agricultural agent, said Saturday forenoon. He estimated that $125 was the average amount requested, pointing out that amounts applied for this year are smaller in view of the fact that seed may be obtained at much lower prices. Loans are limited to $300 this year and farmers receiving them are re- quired to cut their acreage 30 per cent from last year. Loans bear five and one-half per cent interest, to be deducted when made, and will be due next Oct. 31. ‘A total of $90,000,000 is available for crop production loans, $1,000,000 of which is available for livestock feed in drought or storm-stricken areas. Loans to farmers who are in ar- rears on as many as two previous loans made by the secretary of agri- culture are limited to $100 each this year.
