A Farmers Home Administration county supervisor helps the farmers work out a farm and home plan to make the best possible use of the resources available and to increase their incomes. Farmers Home Administration operating loans may also be used to develop recreation and other non-farm enterprises which will supplement farm income. Weiland said the interest rate on operating loans is 6% per

cent, with a repayment period of 1-7 years. In addition to operating loans, Farmers Home Administration makes loans to purchase and develop farms, to develop community water supply systems, to build housing for farm laborers, as well as senior citizens, and to meet emergency credit needs of farmers suffering from a natural disaster such as hail, flood or drought. Further information may be obtained at the Farmers Home Administration office in the Spohn Building, Main and Clinton streets, Goshen. The new part-time office for Kosciusko county is the REMC Building at 523 south Buffalo street, Warsaw. Part-time office hours are every Monday afternoon from one to two o’clock. BILL PIPP ON ON I.

Color Extravaganza In Brown County

Nobody knows for sure when it will happen — even ths natives. But there’s one thing for sure: about mid-October a peaceful riot will start in Brown tyIt will be a riot of color in the hills of an area that reveres the past and glories in ths wonders of nature’s ways. As you approach Brown county on this week’s tour, you may be on a road that climbs to an elevation higher than the hills that almost are mountains of the famous Hoosierland county that is mis-named Brown. As you reach the crest of your approach route, you may not shout “Wow,” for you may be more than a little overcome at the awesome sight of the extravaganza created by nature’s autumnal artistry. You’ll find Brown county anything but brown. For at the height of the color season, you’ll see miles of foliage smeared with beige, yellow, gold, flaming red and you-name-it. Truly a riot of color that brings a word of admiration even from the usually reticent hill folk who populate the area —along with artists, naturalists, handcrafters and those who get up early in the morning so they’ll have more time to warm the benches along the main street of Nashville, the county seat. Brown county, not tar south of Indianapolis, is as you may know the home of “Abe Martin,” the hill country philosopher created by the late Kin Hubbard. Abe was known for his succinct comment on the vagaries of man—and particularly a fictional gossipy woman known as Fay Lippincut. But, so far as is known, his creator resisted when it came to trying to describe the autumnal color extravaganza. One of Indiana’s largest parks in one of Hoosierland’s smallest counties, Brown county state park covers 16,000 rolling acres of wooded hills that appear as mountains, and with enough room for 27 miles of roads, about 100 miles of bridle paths, seven foot trails and many overlooks. Created in 1929’ as a memorial to Hubbard, the park is in most ways in keeping with the natives’ reverence for the past. However, Abe Martin Lodge, built of native stone and timber, is as modern as now and is known for excellent food—yearround. Located around the ridge on which the lodge stands, partly hidden by foliage, are furnished cabins—including private baths and showers.. Brown county is a place to remember, for its virtually a mountain retreat away from mountains. Oh much of southern Indiana is hilly, beautifully hilly — and with plenty of autumnal color. So are many, other places — as you know. However, Brown county is Brown county plus all the usual park facilities: shelters, camping areas, a permanent archery range,

swimming and boating on two artifical lakes, a wildlife exhibit and a museum in its pastoral setting. j It also has Nashville, a cen-tury-old village whose folks are of the no-nonsense, homey variety, and whose artists are among the best. And, of course, it has merchants from whose interesting shops you can tote home everything from sassafras-smok-ed ham to handicraft work to butternut cookies and elderberry jam.
