Farmers Get Pat On Back For many people who make their living from agriculture In thla area, July will be a month long testimony to the fact that they?and moat other farmers -have turned out to be pretty mo* businessmen, after all. j^lt will be that 50th Anniver sary of the Firm Loan Act n which put farniHqg on a bust ness basis In the U. S. for the first time In history. Farmers at last were able to borrow money on reasonable terms and put it to work as a production tool. DeWirt Carr. manager of the Federal Land Bank Association of Clinton, said that farmers at the turn of the century were regarded as about the poorest business risks Imaginable. "No one would lend them money to operate the way a businessman must if he is going to grow ?; and contribute t6 his communl -lyr-hc'saM: "interest r?es for far mers were twice as high as for city businessmen, and die loans were for very short terms. "Three Presidents?Theo dore Roosevelt. Taft and Wil son?studied the problems, and Anally the Farm Loan Act was signed by Wood row Wilson on July 17, 1916. This Act creat ed the Federal Land Bank Sys tem, through which farmers could make long-term, low cost Mai estate loans from their own organizations." The Federal Land Bank As sociation of Clinton was creat ed {n 1917 and now serves an i 1 area which includes Sampson, Duplin, Pender, New Hanover and Brunswick counties. It is one of 46 Associations in the Federal Land Bank of Colum bia District, which in turn is one of 12 Federal Land Banks that serve the 50 states. Continued to Pas* 2 Guest Minister *At G^ove Rev.
