AAAHas 29 Requests for Price Support Twenty-nine applications for loans on the 1948 corn crop, un­ der the price support program, have been filed at the Greene County AAA office. The applications cover 31,500 bushels of corn, according to J. B. Mason, county AAA chair­ man. Under the 1917 program only two loans, covering 1,500 bushels o f corn, were negotiated in the county. This year’s loan rate is §1.18 a bushel, which is 90 per cent of the parity price, according to Mr. Mason. Last year’s rate was §1.41. A lower price is being paid for corn (his year, which accounts fo r the increased interest in 1948 loans, the county chairman said. This year’s net price ranges from ninety cents to §1 a bushel, de­ pending uppn moisture content. In 1947 the net price ranged from §2 to §2.25. Loans being negotiated now will mature Sept. 1, 1949. The Interest rate is 3 per cent. At maturity, according to Mr. Ma­ son, the delivery o f the shelled corn to a local elevator satisfies the note and interest. Farmers who are depositors in any of the following banks may cash their loans there: Millcdge- ville Bank, Sabina Bank, First National and "Washington Sav­ ings Banks, Washington C. H.; Waynesville National Bank and First National Bank, Wilming­ ton. c *• Stockholders in the Miami Val­ ley Production Credit Assn, may cash their loans at the Xenia office in the Home Federal Bldg. All other loans will be cashed by the Commodity Credit Assn, through its federal disbursing agency in Columbus.
