Hall, president. | The Graham Production Credit Association is a consolidation of the Hillsboro and Greensboro asso ciations which we're organized in January, 1933. After one years experience, they were consolidated into one association—the Graham association—in the interest of greater efficiency and economy of management. The original direc tors of the Greensboro association were S. E. tioswen, ocuu | R. C. Moser, C. E. Kearns, and i H. G. Jones. Original directors of j the Hillsboro association were H. T. Watkins, Claude T. Hall, H. S. HOgan, D. Lacy Alston, T. S. Neal, and L. L. Garrison. The present board of directors is composed of Claude T. Hall, presi dent, Person County; L. L. Gar rison, vice president, Alamance County; D. Lacy Alston, Chatham County; V. W. Coltrane, Guilford County; and J. R. Williams, Cas well County. Claude T. Hall, Roxboro, was president of the Hillsboro associa tion.'- and upon the consolidation became president of the Graham association and has served contin uously since that time. According to J. C. Moore, sec retary-treasurer, the association is in a position to finance practically any.mc-ed of the larin. or iunn farn ily where thebe is a sound basis for credit. All applications for loans are considered on an indi vidual basis, with consideration focing given to the applicant's a'ui 1 - ity to repay normal operatons, his financial condition and the .type of opera ton btyng, financed. -From September 1947 to -September 1. 1948., it made 1,917 loans for a tdtal , ,/> ;-.:i. elation has made 22,-331 loans toils farmer members in a total amount of $9,908,295.47. Total losses from organization to September 1948 amount to less than 1/100 of one per cent. Secretary Moore has this to say about changes in the credit needs of farmers: “When the Graham Production Credit Association was first organized, original loans were used to finance tobacco and some cotton. Ninety-five per cent of the proceeds were used for crop pro duction purposes. Today, only about 40 per cent of the loan pro ceeds are used for strictly produc tion purposes; that is, for the pur chase of fertilizer, seed, labor, and living expenses. Sixty per cent of the loan proceeds are used for purposes of soil conservation, mechanization of farming opera tions, and modernization of dairy equipment. In 1948 the association assisted 300 farmers in moderniz-. ing their dairy operations. A great many loans were made to hire bulldozers to fill gullies, and to prepare, fertilize, and seed pas tures.. We have financed'numerous ponds which are used to provide a water supply for cattle, grow fish to supplement the family meat supply, and to provide a source of recreation. Orchard, grass, ladino clover,.and Kentucky fescue are' in common use for winter pastures, while a,lfalfa is coming hack fast In' some sections, milo is coming to supplant corn as a cereal. It stands drought better than corn nary combine and gotten off the land early to be followed by win ter grain." 7 The Graham Production Credit Association serves the counties of Alamance, Caswell, Chatham, Dur-1 ham, Guilford, Orange, Person, Randolph, and Rockingham.
