I
Washington.—The question of loans
Is entirely discretionary with the fed
eral reserve banks and with banks
which are members of the reserve sys
tem as to the class of commercial
paper they choose to accept. Gover
nor Harding, of the federal reserve
board, said in denying that the board
had ordered curtailment of loans to
cotton producers and dealers.
Re stating the position of the board,
the governor declared it had never
been its policy to attempt classifica
tion of loans since,the armistic.e and
that it was without authority to deny
credits to any applicant for loans.
Governor Harding recalled his re
cent, reply to the appeal of cotton pro
ducers for financial aid that the board
believed it vital to extend credits to
all agricultural enterprises including
cotton. This, he said, should be qual
ified only to the extent that the beard
opposed the use of borrowed money to
hold stocks of any commodity for
the creation of artificially high prices.
He added, however, that It remained
for the loaning bank to determine
where curtailment should be enforced
even in .this respect.

that contract to go to another city

"The Executive Committee - of tha

socjptlop In meeting fit Raleigh, Octo
ber Ist, 1920, recommended and urge
that all,tobacco grOwdrs in North Car
ollna organize* themselves into the
North Carplttia Tobacco Growers As
sociation, and invite all parties Inter
ested In the growing and selling of to
bacco to Join thsi organisation.
"We recommend" that In every coun
ty in veery tobacco distrtfct, there be
organised county branches of this as
sociation."
"The tohacQo crop of 1920 is large,
but It Is nbt sufficiently large to cause
the low prices now prevailing. Tobac
co is selling at below the cost of pro
duction and we' urge every "tobacco
grower in North Carolina to market
his crop as slowly as possible, cover
ing a period of eight months, —selling
only what he is compelled to sell to
save and to be Just to all co-operative
creditors, holding the balance of his
crop until adequate prices, covering
at least the cost of production and
reasonable profit thereon can be se
cured. " # /
"We urge that all farmers agree
and bind themselves to largely reduce
the tobacco crop of 1921, sufficiently
to bring the supply of tobacco pro
duced li\, that year within the limit
of the estimated -demand, considering
also the estimate existing rfopply.
