Association Secretary-Treasur
er Yates Creech has a most satis
fying report to make to those in
attendance, which will include
full information on the largest
year’s business in the 16-year
history of the group. More than
99 per cent of the $1,408,000
loaned in the three counties has
been repaid and Creech says
there is an excellent chance that
every cent will be collected.
During the past farming year
1,087 leans were made in the
three counties, ranging from $250
to ^13,000. At the week-end on

In summing up the credit out

py a picture for the coming

and harder to get than in many
