Two Irishman. Pat. jus? arrived
from Ireland where he \va born,
and Mike, who was horn in America,
were discussing the birth places and
the fine buildings there. Mike, dis-j
gusted at Pat's ignorance, invites him
to come along and he'd show him
some real buildings. They were
walking down streets of New York
and Pat is shown several large buildings.
Mike'*That. building over there!
was built in two years." ?
Pat?"Phew, that's nothing; in
Ireland they could build it in one
year.
Mike after showing several large
buildings to Pat was told the same
thing. That they could be built in
half the time in Ireland.
Presently they came to the Wool-,

all ready asked what building
that was.

THE WATA
FARM CREDIT IN NORTH CAR(
UNA
Bv. l>. W. Kilgore. Director.
There has lately been a great de
of beneficial discussion of farm cr
Oat. and Federal legislation has bet
enacted providing a larger volume <
credit for the production and nia
Kcting of crops, as well as the col
d't ons for obtaining this credit. J
considering the matter of farm cr
?!: . the cost of this credit must pi
he lost sight of as it has been th
"cost" as much, or more than tl
lack of volume of credit which h;
made it difficult for the farmer '
; enough front his farming ope
<itiuns to make a living, and someti
ing additional, for the purchase of
farm.
A survey made in 11*21 of SC
farms in North Carolina by tl
State Division of Markets and tl
* edoral Hureau of Agricultural Eci
noroics. representing the .State ar
Federal Departments of Agricultuj
and the State College of Agricultur
By F P.. Yod* r. H .S. Beardsley an
A. .1 Honeycutt of these institution
established the following facts ri
gat ding credit conditions on the?
farms, and these may reasonably b
taken to represent average cond
tions for farm credit in the state:
1. More than half of all credit ofc
tamed for current expenses was ad
vanced by stores and less than on?
sixth by banks. Advances from land
rds to tenants was almost equal t
nil short-term bank advances t
farmers.
2. More than half of all credit oh
Lair.ed for long term purposes oi
land mortgage security came fror
individuals. Commercial banks fur
nished not quite one-fifth.
3. The average rate of interes
charged for short term advance
from banks was 6.3 per cent, a
compared with 20.6 per cent fron
stores. For mortgage loans the rat<
from bunks was 6 per cent, even a
compared with 6.1 pec cent charge*
by individuals.
1. Collateral was required for les
than 5 per cent of the short tern
advances made by banks, wberea
more than 40 per cent of the -id
Viiiii'o tr?im >-.* i vx.? e fuUv*
cured.
5. From the foregoing it is widen
that farmers would profit by gettini
more of their credit from hanks an
paying their store hills with east
if possible. Two means will he- use
ful toward accomplishing this end.
tu> Farmers im.y form credit ur
ions and get funds b;, cooperative el
fort as explained briefly iri a bulie
tin prepared for .this purpose.
(h). Both hankers and farmers ca
work toward a better contact I
this way bankers obtain a first han
knowledge of prospective borrower
which they often prefer t(? coliatera
security for loans, and which ei
ables them better to know and t
meet the farmer's needs.
f>. More legumes and live-stock o
tht farm and the growing of foo
and feed crops will help in reducin
tiie ned for the more expensive mei
chant credit.
