-THE FAIRFIELD RECORDER, FAIRFIELD, FREESTONE COUNTY, TEXAS, THUR8DA
FHA Borrowers
Scan Year’s Work
By OTTO H. JURKN,
FHA Supervisor.
Was our farm and farm land
used to its best advantage last
year? Could we have planned
more profitable use of our fami-
ly labor? Did we have expenses
that cut too much into farm
profits. If so, why—and what
can we do about it? These are
some of the questions Freestone
and Leon County farmers who
are operating, buying or im-
proving their farms with Farm-
ers Home Administration loans
are asking themselves as they
analyze their past year’s farm
and home plans and farm and
home record books.
At the time they are examin-
ing their past year’s operations,
they are mapping plans for next
year’s work. They are using
last year’s mistakes and success-
es as guides for better farming
in 1966.
The Farmers Home Adminis-
tration helps them with their
plans. Each family cooperating
with the agency makes a defin-
ite appointment with the county
supervisor, usually in the
agency’s county office, to carry

Borrowers are discovering un-
derlying problems that are
blocks in the road to successful
farming. A couple snay find
that more conservation meas
urea are needed, or cash crops
and livestock operations are not
properly balanced, or farm and
home management methods are
not up to date.
The agency’3 county super-
visors keep in close touch with
county agricultural agents, the
state college of agriculture, ex-
periment farms, work of other
agencies, and otherwise place
themselves in position to give
borrowers the advantage of lat-
est farming recommendations.
The year-end analysis service
is available to the farm families
in Freestone and Leon Counties
who have received operating or
farm ownership loans from the
Farmers Home Administration
and those soil and water conser-
vation loan borrowers who are
farming with the aid of farm
and home plans.

More Texans
Discharged Than
Inducted In ’55
AUSTIN.—A total of 46,545
Texans entered military service
in 1&55, records at state Select-
ive Service headquarters show-
ed recently.
While these Texans were don-
ning uniforms, a total of 54,490
was separated from active ser-
vice, Lieutenant Colonel Morris
S. Schwartz, state Selective Ser-
pice director, pointed out .
“Nearly 8,000 more got out
than went in,” Colonel Schwartz
said, “a reflection of the reduc-
tion in strength of the military
services during 1955.”
Of the 46,545 Texans who
went Into military service, 38,-
591 went in by enlistment or
other voluntary means. The re-
mainder, 7,954, entered service
through the draft boards. Near-
ly all those entering through
the draft went into the Army.
Only a few Inductees went Into
the Navy, all in the month of
November.

Cross activity—service to hu
manity. The organization
celebrating It’s 75th Anniver
sary this year with pride in
long record of outstanding
achievements.
Texas’ 137 draft boards for-
warded 6,946 men during 1955
for pre-induction physical and
mental examinations. Of this
number, 4,200 were found ac
ceptable for service and the re-
mainder, 2,746, were found un-
acceptable.
“This means that almost four
out of every teu men examined
during the year were turned
down for military service,"
Colonel Schwartz pointed out.
When a draft board registrant
is given the examination, he re-
turns home to await his call for
service if he passes the test. If
he fails it, he is classified 4-F.
