SHORT TERM DEBT
HITS HIGH LEVEL
The ?hort-term debt owed by
U. S. farmers now totals about* 6
billion dollars ? the highest
amount since ti.e peak levels of
the early 1920s. About 2.6 billion
of this is owed to individuals,
merchants, and dealers, and
?bout 3.4 billion to institutional
lenders such as commercial
banks and federally sponsored
lending agencies.
Furthermore, says Charles < E.
Clark, extension farm manage
ment specialist at State College,
it i* likely that the short-term
debt will continue high, at least
for 1951. Money spent for mach
inery, equipment, and livestock
is becoming a larger proportion
of the total farm investment.
Farms are less self-sufficing, and
cash costs are heavier now than
before the war.
Clark says the Korean situation
brought in several new factors
that stimulated the use of short
term credit. Farmers generally
feared a recurrence of wartime
?hortages and expected substan
tially higher prices. They did not
hesitate to increase their debt to
acquire goods for future needs
aa well as to expand production.
The volume of short-term
debt* may expand and shrink
rather rapidly. Crop production
Jeans usually call for repayment
during the same year in which
they are made. Even loans made
for the purchase of farm machin
ery and basic livestock ordinarily
?re paid within two or three
years.
Clark Bays Tar Heel farmers
Me conscious of their need for
?AjustmenU and arc moving to
ward increased use of machinery
?od increased livestock produc
tion. Lending institutions, he
my*, must recognize that farm
ers of the State need credit to
ftiailce improved pastures, fenc
buildings, and breeding
?lock. Repayment plans must be
?nctlcal and cover longer per
iods to fit farm income possibili

ri REMEMBER"
irnaoutnau ^
From lire. W C. Blaine, Tus
cola. 111.: I remember whan the
whole family gathered In the pari
lor on cold winter night*. Mo
ther would play the organ and
the family would sing "Just Be
cause You Made Thein Goo-Goo
Eyes," "Put Your Arm* Around
Me Hooey. Hold Ma Tight," "Red
Wing." We would wind up the
evening singing Stephen Foster
longs and hymn*.
Frofc Mrs. Benin K Hubbell,
Ada, Ohio: I remember when wo
men at 40 (topped wearing haU
and wore itraw, silk or velvet
bonnet* with ribbon ties to make
a bow under the chin. They
wore somber clothes and never
all white.
From Mrs. M. E. Stanley, Mil
ton, Vt.: I remember, when a
girl, father making butter, pack
ing it in tubs, than in early morn
ing when cool, driving 14 miles
to sell it for 18 cants a pound.
Also when woman and girls had
high button shoes, flour sold for
78 cents for a 23-lb. sack. Eggs
were only 10 and 12 cents a doz
en.
From Edna Manh, BUlnville,
Pa.: I remember when women
wore shirtwaists with high neck
and stiff col lan up against their
jawi. Some collar* were ribbon
wound around their necka. Hair
waa pinned on top of their heada
with a puff all around their
heada, kept out by hair "rata^'
From Mn. Ella M. Conant, Ply
mouth, Mich.: 1 remember when
we slept on "ticka" filled with
dried corn husks. When houae
cleaning time came, mother
would empty the husks on a
clean sheet in the yard. It was
my job to pick the huaka up one
at a time, shake out duat and put
tnem in a clean "tick." We call
ed them "ticks" because they
were made of ticking. When
boiled in a large copper boiler
waahlng, all white clothea were
placed on a wood range.
