The bank holiday in Utah took effect Friday, and was originally scheduled to end Tuesday, but Governor Blood extended it to include Wednesday and Thursday. It is uncertain whether the banks will reopen Friday, although such a move is anticipated. Although the holiday was Federal Field Representative to Assist Carbon Farmers In Filing Applications. Regulations governing crop production loans for 1933 are available to farmers in the county upon request to Dan L. Capener, field inspector of the office. Mr. Capeners headquarters are at the Price post-offi- ce. Instead of writing to Washington or to one of the regional offices, Mr. Capener announced, farmers can obtain the necessary application blanks for farm loans, and detailed information about the requirements, direct from him. Applications will be reviewed by the county advisory committee, and then certified and forwarded to the regional office for final approval and action. The regulations this year specify that only those who cannot get loans elsewhere are eligible for h from the $90,000,000 fund authorized by congress. Loans can be used only for crop production, and require the borrower to reduce Ms aereage of cash crops 30 per cent under last year, unless he does not intend to plant more than 20 acres of com, 12 acres of sugar beets, 2 acres of truck crops, 8 acres of potatoes, or 40 acres of wheat The maximum permitted to any one borrower this year is $300; or, in the case of tenants, the total of all loans to tenants of any one landlord within a single county cannot exceed $1200. The actual amount advanced by the' authorities win depend upon the borrowers requirements. A first lien or mortgage on the crop will be required. The regulations require that loans be repaid on or before October 31, 1933. Interest at 5 per cent, deducted in advance, will be charged. Since the loans call tor a first lien on the crop as security, the borrower frequently has to procure waivers from prior mortgages or rights. If the applicant is a tenant, or is farming land under contract for deed or so- -called crop contract, or has given a prior mortgage on his 1933 crops, the regulations state he must secure the waivers of the actual owners of the the land, and all prior mortgage holders. If the applicant is the owner of land and farms it with tenants or share croppers, waivers of such tenants or share croppers must be secured. The regulations further specify that the person waiving his prior rights must agree not to dispose of his rent note, morgage, or other security without first having obtained the written consent of a duly authorized agent of the secretary of agriculture. The regulations make it unlawful for any person to dispose of or assist in disposing of any crops given as security for any crop loan, except for the account of the secretary of agriculture and provide for fine and imprisonment for violation of such regulation. The regulations also require that each borrower agree to plant a garden for his home use and sufficient acreage to furnish feed for his livestock. M. H. Wilson has been appointed deputy in the local office, and he has made arrangements to receive applicants between 6:00 p. m. and 9:00 p. residents desiring m. loans may see Mr. Wilson during the day at the county assessors office. 1- -2 Out-of-to- THEATER REDUCES CHARGE Effective Sunday, adult admissions at the Star theater in Price and the Strand in Helper will be reduced to 35 cents for a limited time.
