P May Editor Duchesne Utah Dear Mr May LIay We Ve are taking the liberty of writing to you with reference to the matter of gravest importance to the majority of the farmers of the Uintah Basin and that is the thc Government seed and feed loans The United Stales States Government has loaned the farmers a good many thousand dollars that came as a send God to the farmers and saver life to our stock Now we should and do appreciate their as- as as I as-I We Ve are arc now confronted confront confront- ed with the problem of paying this money and interest back to the government on n or 01 before September September September Sep Sep- 30 1932 Now if we held to the letter of this agreement it will be disastrous to the most if not to all that made these loans Owing to the depression of th the country in general and the farmers farmers farmers farm farm- ers In particular particularly we feel that we will be justified in asking for a moratorium for two or three years This would give us a chance to pay payoff off this mortgage through the increase of our stock and also give us a chance to live and pay our taxes and other obligations It appears that we are living in a day and age that moratoriums are being passed around Why not we farmers ask the president president pres pres- I ident and Congress of f the United States Government to tide us over this rough period In view of the fact that prices on stock are so low owing to the depression that it would strip us farmers of our only resources of living and meeting our obligations if we are forced to pay par these notes when due In this community community community ity as well as many others if the government were to fore-close fore and take the peoples' peoples stock it would make a good many dependents that would otherwise be able to live and pay payout out Yours respectfully J.
