Better Lease
Arrangements
Urged by FSA
Tenants and Owners Should Cooperate
in Making Improvements Which
Are Mutually Advantageous
Better leasing arrangements be
tween landlords and tenants will be
stressed by the Farm Security Ad
ministration as an aid in the re
habilitation of farm families and
farm lands, Leonard Hanks, county
rural rehabilitation supervisor for
the FSA announced from his office
in Nebraska City.
According to Mr. Hanks, the need
for better lease contracts, including
such provisions as longer rental
p?riods, security to the landlord for
the protection of his property and
security to the tenant for reimburse
ment for improvements made by him,
has been brought convincingly to the
attention of FSA workers during the
two years operation of the rehabili
tation program.
"Between 80 and S5 per cent of
our rehabilitation loans are made
to tenants, a check of the region
shows," he said, "and it has been
found easier to work out sound farm
plans for families who have satisfac
tory leasing contracts."
The Farm Security Administration
makes loans to financially handi
capped farmers and tenants who are
unable to secure credit elsewhere.
Mr. Hanks pointed out that in many
cases the applicants for these loans
need credit not only for livestock and
equipment but also for soil improve
ment items, such as lime and seed
for permanent pasture the returns
from which the tenant will not
be able to realize in dollars and
cents the first year.
"Such loans are repayable over a
two to five year period," the super
visor said, "and where the applicant
is a tenant, a satisfactory leasing ar
rangement makes it easier to work
out a practical farm plan with suit
able crop rotation so that the loan
may be extended over a longer period.

A QUESTION OF LIFE AND DEATH
In Memory of Barbara Zitka,
Deceased, Dec. 20, 1937
Oh death, where is thy sting?
Is it sorrow that you may bring?
Has my life all been ended?
Or has it been temporarily suspended?
Did I die not to live any more?
Is there nothing else for me In store?
Will there be no other life when I
die?
Simply to be buried in my grave to
lie.
Must I be silent to speak no more?
Will I not live for ever more?
Slll I be forever condemned?
Will that be God's last command?
No, there is a new life over there,
Where there is happiness to spare;
Though your life on this earth 13
done,
A new life for you has just begun.
Mother do not go into despair,
I shall be waiting for you over there;
My death will not be all in vain,
In heaven we shall meet again.
I know you will feel sorrowful
and blue,
But I shall be praying there for you;
To renew a future hope in your heart,
We shall meet again never to part.
Brothers and sisters do pray for
me,
But from sorrow let your hearts be
free;
In a little while when I am gone.
Be good to your dear mother at home.
Had I lived and died in vain,
No reward would I ever attain;
Surely God is merciful and kind;
In Him everlasting life I will find.
Composed and dedicated by
L. W. Lorenz.
