MORE FARMERS t UN Ai\ CEO i tiio YEAR tOUL’MBlA, S. 1'., June Zt>.—(Jo ■jpeiauve pi eduction cr.Uii associa tions have financed the needs of a larger number of tanners .10 lar this year Ilian during the entire year 01 according to Depot.. i-rodut .iou lieuu Couiniissioiit r C. it. Ar nold of w’a.-mngton .mo arri.ed ii. euiuuiom i-c.*iiiiy. Since .January 1 this year over 150,00U farmers obtained loans from the production credit associations or ganized under the Karm Credit Ad ministration compared to l;; 1,000 loans during 1»34, Mr. Arnold said, l.oaus since January 1, lags amount to more than $35,000,000. Discussing the operation of the Hew cooperative associations which now provide permanent sources ot [short term fredii to farmers through out the country Mr. Arnold compar ed credit to a piece of farm equip ment and said it was a good thing for the farmer who understands it atid can use it to increase his effici ency and income but otherwise in jurious. "I would urge farmers to use the same standards in buying farm cred it as in buying farm equipment,’ Mr. Arnold said. "Buy credit where you can get the best and most servicea ble quality at the lowest cost. Buy credit only when you can use it to improve your farm returns and your income, and help you get out of debt. “Some farmers who otherwise are keeping up with the times are still getting credit with liorse-and-buggy methods ot purchases on time and stort* credit, which cost froom UO ’o •40 per cent a year, cut down farm income and put the farmer further in debt. The purpose of the produc tion credit associations which have been organized among farmers throughout the United States is to provide permanent sources of credit for crop and livestock production at a reasonable cost, and by making loans fitted to the farmer’s particu lar needs help him to get out of debt."
