business was to help the farmer
get money to finance his crop
who actually needs the help. Mr.

this meeting was to assure each
section of the County the active
assistance of the Seed Loan De
partment to the end that every
worthy farmer in Franklin Coun
ty would get all the money he ac
tually needed to make a crop. He
explained that Franklin Farmers
paid up about 80 per cent of their
1932 loan, and that he consider
ed it his duty to give them such
help and assistance that will re
store them to a self sustaining
basis. Following this he sought
expressions from all sections and

for their action in regard to the
