THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY. "ERTFORO. N. C. FRTDAY. FEBRUARY 5, 1M
Secretary Wickard Moves To Increase
Production Through New Credit Source
Secretary of Agriculture Claude R.
Wickard today announced a broaden
ing of the Department- of Agricul
ture's program to help farmers in
crease production in 1943. He made
available through the Food production
Administration a new source of cre
dit at the county level for the pro
duction of essential war-time food
end fiber. Between $200,000,000 and
$225,000,000 of additional funds be
come immediately available.
Under the new program loans will
be made to producers, upon approval
of a Department of Agriculture
county loan representative, and the
chairman of the county USDA War
Boards. Financing will be through
the Regional Agricultural Credit Cor
poration of Washington, D. C, a
corporation under supervision of the
Farm Credit Administration. Indi
vidual loans will be limited only by
the amount needed to do the produc
tion job. The loans will be for one
agricultural season, not to exceed one
year, but renewals may be granted
under proper circumstances. Interest
will be at five percent. Collateral
will be first liens on the commodities,
livestock or other items being
financed.
Secretary Wickard emphasized that
farmers will fnnt.imip In lisivp avail.!
able all other sources of agricultural
crelit, including local banks, Produc
tion Credit Associations, Emergency
Crop and Feed Loans, and Farm Se-1
curity Administration loans.
"The purpose of this program,"
Secretary Wickard said, "is to provide ,
adequate financing to assure maxi-,
mum wartime production of needed i
commodities. These loans will be,
made only if it will enable the bor-
rower to engage in or increase hisl
production of essential agricultural
commodities. For an applicant to
qualify for a loan his farming opera
tion should afford every reasonable
assurance that the loan will be liqui-

"This program is not a substitute
for other sources of credit, nor is it
intended to compete with other lend
ers. Its purpose is to supplement
such other sources of credit where
needed. Each producer is urged to
obtain his financial requirements, if
possible, from other sources.
"Our farmers are faced with a tre
mendous production job in the 1943
Food For Freedom Program. We are
doing everything in our power to
help them meet the ekceedingly high
goals. By making available this new
source of credit, we hope to enable
every producer, large, medium or
small, to produce to the limit without
being hampered by inadequate finan
cing." The new program, it was explained,
is not for the purpose of refinancing
existing indebtedness except for that
incurred during the current season.
Loans will not be made for purchase
of real estate or for extensive per
manent improvements, but will be '
available for repairs and needed mi-j
nor improvements which will facili-1
tate production. I
By putting into effect a lending
program at county levels which ties
in directly with the Department's
wartime food production program, it
was stated, each producer is now as
sured an immediate and convenient
source of credit for t.he fullest utili
zation of his farming facilities.
Instructions will be issued regard
ing the handling of loans which the
County War Boards determine require
supervision of the type given by
Farm Security Administration Super
visors. It is anticipated that where
the War Boards recommend, these
loans will be handled by Farm Se
curity Administration Supervisors as
representatives of the Regional Agri
cultural Credit Corporation.
The loan representative in each
county will be named by the War
Board. The Secretary's instructions
permit the War Board to name any
one of several persons already in of
ficial agricultural work in the county.
The loan representative may be an
employee stationed in the county by a
Department agency (Farm Security
Administration, Emergency Crop and
Feed Loan) or an employee of a Pro
duction Credit Association, or an AAA
County or community committeeman,
or a person eligible to be a commit
teeman. The Regional Agricultural Credit
Corporation of Washington, D. C, un
der the new source of credit will be
made available at county levels for
the production of war-essential foods
and fibres, was created under the
Emergency Relief and Construction
Act of 1932 to meet farmers' and
stockmen's needs for short-term
credit.
With this growth of the Production
Credit Association system of short
term financing, the emergency need
for the 12 regional agricultural cre
dit corporations diminished. Their
active lending operations have been
greatly reduced since 1934. All but
the Minneapolis corporation have been
consolidated into the Regional Agri
cultural Credit Corporation of Wash-

! IS MEMORIAM
1 In sad and lovjng memory of our
daughter and Sister, Mrs. Mabel
Stallings Overman, who died one
year ago, February 5, 1942.
Sad and sudden was the call
Of one so dearly loved by all;
i Your memory is as sweet today
As in the hour you passed away.
We often sit and think of you
And th ik of how you died;
To think you could not say good-bye
Before you closed your eyes.
The blow was hard, the shock severe,
We never thought death so near,
But only those who have lost can tell
The pain of parting without farewell.!
God knew your load was heavy
Though you never did complain;
So He took you home to Heaven
Where there is no grief or pain.
She little thought when leaving home
That si.o would never return;
That she so soon in death would sleep
And leave us here to mourn.
Mother, Dad and Brothers.
