arjd Motheral point out .that if the
Forestry Magazine Says
history’ of other land programs for
veterans is any guide, some of the
provisions of the plan offered last
year are open to question.
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.

Texas Timber Is Decreasing

:]Texas is not ninning out (If tim

^Northeast Texas has lost 39 per
eqnt of its sawtiimber in 10 years.
Southeast Texas, a bigger timber
area, has gained 14 percent. ’
(Since 1836, the state has cut
something like. 100 billion board

Tpxas forests. That’s enough lum
ber for six and one-half million
