<br />~he countl rural rehabilitation supervisor states there is a total of 13 <br /> <br />loan cases; stand~rd, corporation, and emergency; in the project area. <br /> <br />In the entire county are 96 standard loans, 153 emergency loans and six <br /> <br />corporation loans, a total of 255, with a total of 1,500 farmers in the <br /> <br />county.
