Farm Credit Board To Further Service Gathering Data To Develop Services The federal Corm credit board is gathering information to develop national plans for further Improvihg the credit service of the production credit associations, according to Forrest E. Duncan, Jr., secretary-treasurer of the eastern Indiana production credit association, after returning from a conference at Louisville, Ky., of the directors and secretary-treasurers of the 49 production credit associations in Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, and Tennessee. A committee of three members of the federal farm credit board were present at the conference, officers and directors of the prediction credit corporation of Louisville and the federal intermediate credit bank of Louisville as well as representatives of the other financing institutions discounting farmers’ notes with the intermediate credit bank, Duncan said. The three members of the federal farm credit board present at the meeting were Marvin J. Briggs, Indianapolis, Frank W. Feck, St, Paul, Minn., and J. D. Anderson, Morgantown, W. Va. Present at the meeting from Washington were R. B. Tootell, governor of the farm credit administration, and H. A. Miles, its deputy governor and director of short-term credit service. The representatives of the production credit associations in the four states also discussed with the board possible ways Cor farmers to eventually take over ownership from the government of the production credit corporation and the intermediate /:redit bank of Louisville. Currently 33 out of the 40 production credit associations in the Louisville farm credit district are completely farmer-owned and the others are nearing that point, he explained. Duncan explained that this conference was an excellent example of the democratic control farmers have of the entire cooperative farm credit system and the voice they have in determining its policies at local, district and national leyels. ~’\&6but 45,000 farmers ia the four

states represented, at this conference borrow a total of -over $l4O million a year from their production credit associations to finance their farm operating expenses and such capital investments as the purchase of farm machinery and livestock. The policies of the local associations are determined by farmer-directors elected by their fellow members. Farmers now have over $9 million invested in the capital stock of these asociations. Thesje credit coperatlves are now largely farmer-owned although the production credit corporation of Louisville, presently a govern-ment-owned organization, supplied the original capital and continues to supervise the associations. The local production credit associations obtain their lending funds from the federal inter-mediate credit bank of Louisville by discounting farmers’ ndtes with the bank. This bank in turn gets its money from investors in the nation's financial centers through the sale of short-term bonds known as debentures.

In hie remark ft month ftgo, Benson said: “it should he kept in mind that while some prices have declined and some further easing may won occur as the harvests progress, the heavy volume of marketings will sustain farmers’ receipts from the sale of their products. “Prices are not the only determinant of farmers’ incomes. The volume of products marketed is likewise important.” There were some bright spots in the August report Eggs, milk, cotton and Strawberries were bringing higher prices' than in the previous 80 days, but these increases were not enough to make up the declines inother commodities.
