COLUMBIA, June 18.—Partners of Lincoln. Gaston and Cleveland counties borrowed a total of $102, 506 from Jan. 1 to June 1 througn the Chevryville Production Crerb* Association, according to figures re leased by the Farm Credit Admin i. tration of Columbia. The loans were made to a total of 490 farmers, the average loan being $209 20. In the four states served by the Farm Credit Administration of Co lumbia, North Carolina, South Car o’jna, Georgia and Florida, over $7,000,000 was borrowed by 28,121) farmers. An additional $450,000 is being advanced to farmers who are obtaining their loans In a series of installments during the season. The spring seasonal demand for crop production loans has now pass ed its peak and a larger proportion of the farmers borrowing .from the associations are obtaining loans loi general agricultural purposes, such as for purchasing work-stock, equip ment and machinery, and for fi nancing repairs and improvements. This trend towards general purpose loans is reflected in the gradual n crcase in the size of the average loan. Farmers borrowing from thes> newly organized, short-loan credit institutions partially owned and op crated by the borrowers, are effect ing a considerable saving on inter est charges, which are now at the rate of 5 per cent a year, charged maturity of the loan. Thus, a farm on an annual basis and coll' er borrowing $500 for a year would pay $25 interest on a loan for 12 months, while a farmer borrowing the same amount for six months would pay only $12.50 interest, or it the loan was for three months. <•25.
