For one thing, the Veiling on in dividual loans wa^ plated at $7,500. In most areas of the state this amount would not be enough to meet the investment requirements of a farm unit of economical size. It is still further below capital re quirements for ranches. “There is not the remotest pos sibility that the veteran could be come a small ranchman through the amount of credit extended under •the proposed plan,’’ according to Southern and Motheral. Further more, the credit would not be ade quate for a small irrigated unit in the Lower or Upper Rio Grande Valley Areas. Problems are foreseen in the procedure to - be iollowed by the state in handling land purchases. House Bill 42, introduced in the 50th Legislature would permit the state to bUy land in tracts of any size deemed desirable to be sub divided as necessary for resale to the veteran. “This is in contrast to the na tional program of tenant-purchase loans” Southern and Motheral point out, “which never provided for prior purchase by the Federal gov ernment and resale to the borrow er.” j Another questionable feature of th^ bill is its lack of specific regul ations governing the selection of borrowers, supervision of loans and allowance for supplementary credit. It is believed that the absence of a guiding policy in these matters “would place an especially heavy burden on the General Land Office in establishing administrative pro cedures and standards.” On the other hand, one of the most favorable credit features of the legislation, accordirtg to South ern and Motheral, is the provision that allows the administering board to adjust repayments in accordance with each years farm inepme.

In other words, East Texas forests are just about holding their own under present conditions. *) In the /hast 10 years we have' seen new forest industrial expam* sion, mainly in two large pulp and papeg mills and a lot of little saw mills.
