LOANS TO FARMERS.
Movement Started to Better Farming
Conditions.

Conditions.
| Following up a suggestion made
| by officials of the Nashville, Chat.
tanooga e St. Louis Railway at a
conference with several bankers in
Chattanooga recently, the Clearing
House banks of that city have
pledged themselves to supply fund
of 100000 to be loaned on long
time to deserving and energetic
farmers INF that territory, this fund
to be used in developing the agri-
cultural resources of that section.
Mr.. Thomas R. Preston, as repre-
sentative of the Chattanooga Clear
ing House banks, has explained in
a general way the purposes of the
fund and the motives which actuated
the bankers in supplying it. Brief
ly, the object in view was to permit
young and capable farmers to get a
start in life on the farms and by en-
couraging them in scientific methods
and the introduction of better live
stock, to render a valuable aid to the
farmers themselves and help to build
up the land which is capable of pro-
ducing splendid results. The details
of the plan, and the methods to be
followed in passing upon the appli-
cants for loans are to be worked out
by representatives of the banks and
a committee of five farmers from the
membership of the Farmers Cooper
ative Union of Hamilton County.
The endorsement of the idea by
the Nashville, Chattanooga & st.
Louis Railway, thru President John
Howe Peyton, is due to the great
interest which this road has taken
in the development of the agricul
tural resources along it's lines, and
that the movement will be far-reach-
ing in it's effect upon the develop
ment of the farming interests has
been demonstrated by the great in
terest created thruout the farming
communities in this territory. In a
general way the idea is to loan
various sums to farmers who have
character and the ability to make
good. This money will be loaned
for the purchase of better live stock,
improved farming machinery, etc,
and at a rate of interest which the
banks are now loaning money to
other business enterprises. 1t is not
an attempt to give the farmers
something for nothing" 1t is a
business proposition, but one which
has not been tried in this section.
It is believed, however, that should
