Treasury Funds For Crop Moving

Secretary McAdoo again stands
ready TO lend hand to Western and
Southern banks i'm case they need
money for crop-moving purposes. The
plan of lending government money to
the banks i'm agriculture districts for
use during the crop-moving season
last year was so successful that il will
be adopted this year if the necessity
arises.
Money loaned by the Treasury De-
partment last year was secured most
ly by commercial paper, and all the
borrowed money had been returned
to the Treasury by April /, together
with interest amounting TO $260,O0O.
The total amount loaned to banks was
$37, $4,000. 1t went TO 1913 banks in
81 cities of 2S states.
Secretary McAdoo announced he
would lend $50. 0OO, 900. but that much
was not sought. In fact, the Secre-
tary stood ready to lend as much as
$500, 600, 900 had the banks in the
farming sections demanded that much
money.
