Record Loans From Credit Association Near Billion, Half Loaned To Farmers WASHINGTON (INB) — The agriculture department reported today that farmers borrowed $1,400,000,000 in 1955 from 498 production credit associations to help finance their farm operations. This was the largest amount borrowed in any year since the beginning of credit cooperatives in 1933 and 1934. The amount of loans outstanding on Dec. 31 was $653,000,000 — the largest for any year end on record. A farm credit administration spokesman said the increased loan volume was due to farmers requiring more credit in their normal farming operations. He added that many farmers needed larger loans because of drought and other un favorable weather conditions as well as the higher cost of farm equipment and operations. The average loan outstanding on Dec. 31 was $3,408, compared $3,i2%,A year earlier. Fanners obtain credit for all types of crop and livestock produc Associations which are local shprt term credit cooperatives serving all areas of the nation. Most of the associations are com pletely owned by farmers and stockmen and the remainder are said to be nearing this goal. Because they are operated by and for farmers, production credit associations aim to provide credit to members at- the lowest possible cost consistent with sound business practices. The rate of interest varies among associations. Members pay Interest only on the actual amount they borrow and for the exact time they use the borrowed money. In addition to interest, most associations charge loan service fees to cover the cost of looking over the member’s farming operations, setting up loan papers, searching lien records, and recording mort gages. Fees vary' with different associations and are largely deter mined 1 by local conditions. ■ Associations try to adjust thei> security requirements to each farmer’s particular situation. Se curity is usually a first lien or crops, livestock, or farm equip ment and machinery. Members repay their loans — which are usually obtained in les> than a week — as they sell tb< crops, livestock or livestock prod ucts financed. Production Credit Association* get most of their money for lend ing operations from the nation’s It Federal Land Banks. The banks it turn sells debentures, which ar< short-term bonds, to investors in fi nancial centers. The debentures are secured b> the farmers' notes, by the capita and reserves of the associations and by the capital and reserve:, of the 12 banks. ,■ CARBURETOR SAVES GAS BT ••JIT.ING" Car owners who are wasting money and not getting proper gas mileage due to over-rich mixtures will be pleased to learn of a Wisconsin inventor who has developed a very clever unit that saves gasoline by “Jet-ing and Vacu-mating."
