"Tuere lately has been a total deal 'uf beneficial discussion of faim credit jii.i :e.lrtil legislation ka> been enacted pruiuiinK a larger volume of rroiit for the production and marketing of crop-, as well as tlie conditions for obtaining this cred it.- * said Dr. Kilgore. "In considering the matter of farm rrnlit the cost of this credit must not bo Uvst sight of as it has been this 'coil' as much or more than the lack of \olume of credit which has made it difficult for the farmer to make enough from his fainting operations to make a living, and something ad ditional for the purchase of a farm. *A survey m 1921 of 800 farms in North Carolina by the state division of markets and federal bureau of agricultural economics, representing the state and federal department- or agriculture and the State collegv of agriculture, by F.

More than half of all credit -•btained for current expenses was ativaiu'ni by stores and less than one sixth by hanks. Advances from landlords to tenants were almost equal to all short term bank advances to farmer*. "2. More than half of all credit obtained for long term purposes on land mortgnge security came from individuals. Commercial banks fur hni«ed not qWta one fifth. "3. The average rate of interest charged for short term advances from banks was «.3 per rent, as compared with -IC pei cent from stores. For mortgage !oon the rate from banks was 6 per rent as compared with 6.1 per cent charged by individuals. "4. Collateral was required for le-s than 5 per cent of the short term advances made by hank-, whereas, inure than 4" per cent of the ad vances from store- were fully se cured. "5. From the foregooig it i- evi dent that farmers w.tuld profit by eettnig m«»re of their riedit from '>anks and payinr their sterf bills with cash, if possible. Two means will lie useful toward accomplishing this end: "(a | Farmer- may form credit' unions and get fund- by cooperative effort -fcs explained briefly in a bulle tin prepared for this purpose. -(1.1 |{.»"h bankers and farnieis can work together toward a better in work towrard a better contact In this wav hankers »l*ain a first hand knowledge of prospective borrower* which they often prefer to collateral security for loan*. and which enables ihem better to know and to meet the farmers' needs.
