Roy Colter of Farm Needs Are Discussed Here A lack of ready money when farm lands are for sale and fail ure of large land owners to cultivate their property Monday were termed the two main hold backs to agriculture in Cherokee County. The two points were brought out during an economic survey of the county led by Ralph W. Turner, farm management specia list from Raleigh and representative of the State Mobilization rne meeting, with 24 farmers and farm agencies represented, was held in the office of S. S. Wil liams, county supervisor for the Farmers Home Administration. The group discussed inquiries made by the Agriculture Depart ment after a U. S. Senate commit tee asked for a survey on the in terest of fanners in the availabil ity of farm credit. Young farmers just starting out and in need of loans were discuss ed both by the Cherokee County group and in the information sent by the Senate. It was brought out that older established farmers had a better chance to get loans than the younger beginners have. County Agent G. H. Farley said he be lieved that more than l,tM of the 1,94* Cherokee Connty farms are In need of some type of credit The credit must be given, he said, if the agricultural advance ment program is carried out as K should be. CREDIT EASE If the interest of the young far mers is to be drawn and the in terest of the old farmers is to be held, the overall ease of getting farm credit must be increased, Mr. Farley said. TTie credit survey is being made in 12 states, Mr. Turner said. The information obtained at the meetings will be made available to all credit agencies. The reason many people are not ?ble to buy desirable land when it is on sale Is because they are not educated about loan agencies set up to help farmers, one of the group said during a discussion. One farmer said too much of the land is purchased by large land owners and never farmed. Different groups attending the meeting were given questtonaries which they will study, answer and turn in to the Senate committee on agriculture and forestry.
