Personal Credit For Farmers. '
Washington, D. C, Dec. 10.
One of the national problems de
manding special attention at this
time is that of short-time personal
credit for farmers, in the opinion
of the Secretary of Agriculture,
expressed in his annual report to
the President made public here
today.
"It la generally recognized," ho
said, " that one of the problems
demanding special attention at
this time is that of short-time
personal credit for farmers. In
the case of a man who has paid
for his farm, the supply of per
sonal credit raises, as a rule, no
serious question. In the case of
the renter, however, aud of the
, young farmer who in just start
ing out as an owner, the question
of short-tinif credit is a difficult
one. In. such * cast s credit can
and should be based, to a consid
erable extent, on character and
productiveabiliiy. To deny credit
to the honest, ambitious, and en
ergetic farmer tiecause he has
little tangible security to offer is
I to lessen the productivity of avail*
I able capital and to discourage a
man who, in the future, should
j. be a land-owning farmer. While
| the bankers are, iu many cases,
showing a commendable interest,
V the need is for a system which
I; will enable the man without col
li'' lateral to secure fuutls for pro
duetive agricultural enterprises.
! Without doubt this important
; problem should receive careful
i consideration, and every feasible
■ effort Should be ' made to aid the
farmer in obtaining the necess
ary personal credit."
The man w*lio says all men are
- thieves reveals the identity of
Mr. Henry W. Garrett Dead.
■ Following a atroke of paralysis,
Mr. Henry W. Garrett, one of the
oounty's oldest citizens, passed away
Bonday, 12th inst., at his home near
Rock Creek church, Patterson towpv
ship. He was 80 years, 4 months
and 9 days old at the date of hia
death. The burial was at Little
Mount Pleasant on Mondav.
Deceased waa a veteran of the Civil
War, having served more than three
years. **
Mr. Garrett leaves surviving him
three sons and two daughters—Mr.
W. Wi Garrett of Graham, Graham
and John Garrett and Mrs. Wm, L.
Murray and Mrs. Luther'Moaor, all
of whom, save the first named, live
in the vicinity of the old home. He
ia also survived by one brother and
two ' sistelp—Geo. W. Garrett and
Mrs. James Sharpe aud Mrs Alfred j
