$50,000,000 FARM FUNDS NEAR READY Department Finds 51 Per Cent of Last Year’s Loans Have Been Repaid. Farmers who will need Government | assistance in financing the planting of | their Spring crops may borrow Within the next week or two from the $50,000,- 000 voted by Congress for that pur- pose, according to Department of Agri- sulture officials. Meanwhile the department, in going over its books, has found that 51 per | cent of the approximately $49,000,000 ! loaned to raise crops last year, has been | repaid. In view of the low price of | farm commodities in 1931, officials do not consider this a particularly bad average. Louisiana leads the department honor roll list for having paid ba est percentage of the money borrowed | last year. Farmers in that State have returned $2,101.693. or 65.7 per cent of the amount loaned. Arkansas was only a point behind, having paid back $5976.852, or 64.9 per cent. That State, hard hit by the 1930 drought, was the heaviest borrower of the 35 States which took advantage of the more than $60,000,000 voted for relief by Congress. Alabama has re- paid $1,714,913, or 63 per cent. North Carolina is fourth with $1,345.426, or 61 per cent, and Texas is fifth with $1,- 776,955, or 58 per cent. ‘The department also announced that & change in the managership of the farmers’ seed loan office, at Memphis, had taken effect. W. L. Pepperman, vice president of the Interborough Rapid Transit Co. of New York, has been named manager, succeeding J. H.| Lynch, who had been called to Wash- ington to assist George L. Hoffman in the farmers’ seed loan office. JEWELER TO BE BROUGHT HERE ON ARSON CHARGE Edward Frank Located in Detroit After Five-Alarm Fire in Ninth Street Store. Lieut. Frank Varney of No. 2 pre- einct returned to Washington today after obtaining an order in Detroit for the removal of Edward Frank, 39 years old, who left Washington last October while under $5,000 bond in connection with arson charges. The prisoner, now under $50,000 bond, will be brought here in about a week by United States marshals, Lieut. Varney reported. Varney was able to identify Frank, ‘who had been operating a_jewelry store in the Michigan city under the name of Ezra Ravvam, and who, Varney said, at first denied his identity. Evidence of incendiarism was found after a five-alarm fire started in Frank's jewelry store in the 400 block of Ninth street last April. Frank was alleged to have taken out insurance on his stock shortly prior to the blaze. ‘The prisoner was arrested in Detroit about two weeks ago, after long-dis- tance calls to Washington had been traced. Frank has resisted removal to this jurisdiction since his arrest and a hearing was called to decide the ques- tion before a United States Commis- sioner.
