C., Alay 9 (By the As sociated Press.) —More credit from hanks and payment*of store bil's with cash; the formation of credit unions by farmers; a closer contact between hankers and farmers and more food, feed and livestock raised on farms iw&re the chief recommendations of Dr. B. W. Kilgore, director of the North Carolina .Extension Service, in a statement on farm credit in North Carolina, issued today. "There lately has been a great deal of discussion of farm credit and federal legislation has been enacted providing a larger volume of credit for the production and marketing of crops, as well as the conditions for obtaining this credit,” said Dr. Kil gore. “In considering the matter of farm credit the cost of this credit must not be lost sight of as it has lieen this ‘cost’ as much, or mors than the lack of volume of credit which has made it difficult for the farmer to make nough from his farming operations to make a living, and something ctudi tional, for the purchase of a farm. “A survey in 1921 of 800 farms in North Carolina by the State Division of Markets and Federal Bureau of Agricultural Economics, representing the state and federal departments of agriculture sind the State College of Agriculture, by F. R. Yoder, H. S. Beardsley and A. J. Honeycutt, of these institutions, established the following facts regarding credit con ditions on these farms, and these may be reasonably taken to represent average conditions for farm credit iin the state. "1. More than half of a 1 credit ob taied for current expenses was ad vanced by stores and less than one sixth by banks. Advances from land lords to tenants were almost equal to all short-term hank advances to farmers. "2. More than half of all credit ob tained for long term purposes on land mortgage security came -;rom Commercial banks furnished not quite, one-fifth. PAYING A DEBT Twice Over i / ■ THE people of Hamlin town refused to pay the piper the price for which they’d bargained— and so he claimed a far greater boon, .and lured away their children, as he had their rats. So it is with all debt—if we delay the payment, we pay a double price in peace of mind. A savings account will enable you to pay your debts on time. c /^eiTIZENS'__ 3?AN and TRHST Company?

The average rate of interest charged for short term advances from ibanks was 6.3 per cent., as compared with 26.6 per cent from stores. For mortgage loans the rate from banks was 6 per cent cent, as compared with 6-3 per cent charged by individuals. “4. Collateral was required for less than 5 per cent of the short term ad vances .made by bartksj. more than 40 per cent of the advances front stoVes were fully secured. / “5. From the foregoing it is evident that farmers would profß by -getting more of their credit from banks and paying their store bills with cash, if possible. Two means will be useful toward accomplishing this end: ‘‘(a) Farmers may form credit unions and get funds by cooperative effort as explained, briefly in a bulletin prepared for this purpose. “(b) Both bankers and farmers can work toward a better contact. In this way bankers obtain a first nand knowledge of prospective borrowers which they often prefer to collateral security for loans, and which enables them better to know and to meet the farmers’ steeds. “6. More legumes and live-stock on the farm and the growing of food and feed crops will help in reducing the need for the more expensive merchant credit.” —- - .
