NO. 15 Resettlement Proyides Aid for the Farmers Private Capital Through Banks Also Being Used in the Move for Farm Rehabilitation. Nebraska bankers are joinin forces with the government to help farmers get back on their feet, Jean Spangler, RA supervisor for Cass county, reports. "Faced by a demand for standard rehabilitation loans far in excess of j funds available for that purpose. Re-j settlement employees in Nebraska are j helping many farmers rehabilitate! themselves through private credit, or i even without credit." he commented. J Farm debt adjustment aid avail able . without cost through this agency helps to bring the farmer's debts in line with his ability to pay. Resettlement supervisors are help ing farmers work out written, bud geted farm and home management plans that show how much can be paid on old debts after minimum fam ily living costs have been provided for. Private bankers realize that sound farming plans are just as important as credit. They are often willing to make small loans to enable farmers to put their farms on a paying basis, on the strength of these written plans and the technical guidance available through the local Resettle ment office. A few farmers who ask for rehab loans find that all they need is debt adiustment and advice in sound, up- to-date farm methods. They are glad!0 to get back on a paying basis with out borrowing more money. "The fact that this service aids creditors as well as debtors is borne out by reports that just about as many creditors as debtors over the nation have applied for voluntary farm debt conciliation assistance, Mr. Spangler stated. Farm debt adjustment aid avail able through the Resettlement office has helped debtors and creditors reach voluntary agreements in 1.967 cases in this state. Debts have been reduced from a total of $S, 431, 436 to $5,717,257, a reduction of $2,714. 179. These adjustments have brought menung otner aimeuc vorh. oi me 5162,543 back taxes into public i schools and promises a fine addition treasuries throughout Nebraska. j to that part of the school.
