CHAPEL HILL. Nov. 24th.
That the relation of the banking in
terests to the agricultural interests
Is such as to Indicate that the Nortu
Carolina farmer is a thrifty class oi
people Is the observation made by
Dr. C. L. Raper, head of the de
partment of economics of the Uni
versity and official representative
of the United States Rural Organiza
tion Service for the States of North
Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia
and Maryland. The government
lepresenta'ive of this new bureau
of the national department of Agri
culture arrived at this conclusion
after making a field Investigation in
to farmers' credits In twenty repre
sentative North Carolina counties,
visiting the rural banking centers
in each of the counties. Two divi
sions of the State were visited
Dr. Raper making a personal tour
or tne counties in the central sec
tion and Prof. W. R. Camp, profes
sor or rural economics In A. & M.
college, and In charge of the mar
kets for the North Carolina Expert
ment Station making investigations
into conditions In the counties oi
me nortnea8tern section of the
btate. The counties visited oy tne
two economics professors interested
in conditions of rural life included
the following: Pitt, Beaufort.
Washington, Chowan, Perquimans,
rasquotanK, Gates, Hertford, Bertie,
E-agecomDe, orange. Guilford, Meek
lenburg, Union, Anson, Richmond,
Moore and Lee. The facts relative
to tne size of loans made to farmers;
me rate or interest; the commission
charged; the cost of abstractng tne
title to land, etc., are furnished tne
department Jof J&e-piciitt.ur .FVm
rine ngures gathered Dr. Raner Tina
rormed some very dennlte lmpres
bioub as to rural conditions, parti
cularly the relation of the banks to
the farmer: (1) That the farmer In
a number of rural banking centers
nas oecome a comparatively impor
ant depositor in banks, eppeclaiiy
the banks that pay four percent in
terest; (2) That the farmer rn a
number of oanks are fairly impo.-
tani snarenolders; (3) That the
farmers in a number of places
receive the same banking facilities
as the business man as to rats or
interest and nature of security,
(5) That they can In a number of
places borrow from the banks moie
than they tare to borrow; (6) That
the tenant farmers are the ones mat
borrow little from the banks and
usually only when their notes ar,
signed by the landlords; (7) That
the farmers especially the one-horse
farmers, are not desirous of bori ow
ing from banks as much as tney
really need for the most effective
crops. The greatest obstacle to the
farmer in borrowing on farm mort
gages is the cost of abstracting tne
title to lands, is the observaion
made by Dr. Raper. The averairo
cost for such a service (usually per
formed by a lawyer) is from $5 to
$10, and in a few cases as much as
$50 to $80, when the title is com
plicated. As a remedy for this ex
tortion from the farmer the govern
ment representative suggests tne a
doption of an official survey and ret
Istration of every piece of land. The
adoption of such a system would
work to the advantage of the farmer
(n V . V 1 J l .
iu iusi iiw vtuuiu always nave in J
iiuowsiiiuu an omciai certincate or
his land. Thus he could save air
..be costs of abstracting the title and
could borrow money at a mucn
smaller cost at the regular rate oi
interest.
