Carolina branch of the state govern
ment, known as the Division of Mar
kets, has been charged with the work
Of encouraging the organization of
credit unions among the farmers, and
a special official, known as Superinten-
dent of Credit Unions, gives practical
assistance in their organization and
supervision of their activities.
North Carolina Plan.
In North Carolina II or more per-
sons in the community may organize a
credit union, the first step being to
sign an application for assistance,
which is addressed to the Superinten-
dent of Credit Unions of the State. On
der his direction a meeting is called
for the purpose of arousing further in
terest and spreading information con-
corning the plans and purposes of the
proposed organization. If the COM
munity is sufficiently interested, a sec
ond meeting is called, and an organiza-
ton committee appointed. This COM
mittee is furnished with a suggested
set Of bylaws by the superintendent
Belington progressive. [volume] (Belington, W. Va.) 1912-1927, 1919-09-11

which 1t decides to recommend either
in their entirety or with such amend
ments as local conditions appear to re-
quire. At this meeting also five per-
sons are selected to act as board of
directors. A credit committee and
supervisory committee. each composed
of three members, are also named. AT
mended by the organization committee
are adopted by the entire organization
with or without amendments. Neces-
sary books and business forms are al
so provided for at this time.
Two copies of the bylaws and an or
ganization certificate are acknowledge
ed before notary public and approx
ed by the superintendent of credit I'M
ions. One copy of each Of these doc
uments is filed In the state division Of
markets, and duplicate copy is sent
for filing with the clerk of the county
superior court. The work of incorpor-
alton is then complete the cost being
limited to the notary fees and So for
the recording and filing Of the papers.
The members of the board of directors
and the committees are then sworn in
and bond is provided for the treas
urer.
Establishing Banking Connections.
The board of directors appoints a
bank committee to select some local
banking institution through which the
union does its business. The credit
union Is accorded treatment similar to
that which one bank gives another. As
rule it receives per cent interest
upon time deposits and per cent on
monthly balances, while 1t borrows
from the bank at 5 per cent interest.
The business of the organization is
formally begun at a fourth meeting at
which time each member buys one or
more shares of stock at $40 a share,
and deposits with the union any idle
cash that can be spared. The union
also accepts deposits from nonmem-
bers. It's operations are similar to a
small-scale bank, but 1t is able to oper-
ate at a minimum Of expense since
most AOf the overhead expenses of a
regular bank are eliminated. The Off
GERS, with the exception of the treas
urer, receive no compensation. The
treasurer, who is required to devote
three or four hours week to the bus
mess of the organization, usually re-
ceives a salary Of about $50 a year.
The credit union thus becomes primar-
| jly a mutual society of borrowers and
depositors operating under state law.

One of the greatest needs of farm
ers in the United States is short-time
personal credit on reasonable terms.
The federal loan banks are taking good
care of the land-mortgage require
ments in many cases, but they are not
always available for new settlers and
for farmers or planters who need per-
sonal loans to buy live stock, imple
ments, or other equipment. The need
for short-time personal credit is shown
as result of an investigation by the
United States department of agricul-
ture In the Southern states, where 1t
was found 60 per cent of the farmers
depend upon advances from merchants
during the erop-producing season.
Credit extended by merchants, COM
monty known as the advancing system,
is usually exceedingly high. 1t is esti-
mated by the department that hun
dreds Of millions of dollars would be
saved by the farmers each year IL the
means already adopted in a number of
communities were put ulto Btutiui use.
The means referred to is that of prop
erly organized rural credit unions.
State Laws Help Credit Unions.
In nine states laws have been enact
ed under which farmers as well as
wage earners in cities may organize
credit unions. These laws, In so far
as they affect rural credit, enable the
farmers who are members to obtain
loans on terms which compare favor
ably with those secured by the city
business men. The movement of sur
plus funds of the individual farmers
has in general been toward the city,
but rural credit unions encourage the
retention of money made on the farm
where 1t is most needed. In addition,
it tends to turn the current of urban
capital toward rural districts, as out
side credit is secured through regular
credit channels-the banks.
1t is impossible to formulate meth
cd Of procedure in the organization OF
credit unions that will apply to each
of the states, but the plan followed In
North Carolina, where 1S strictly
farmers organizations are now In OPP
Grafton, should be of interest. In North

HOUSTON IN FAVOR
OF CREDIT UNIONS

"There should be provided a
system of personal-credit unions,
especially for the benefit OF in
dividuals whose financial cir
cumstances and scale of opera
lions make it difficult for them
to secure accommodations
through the ordinary channels.
Organized commercial banks
make short-term loans of great
aggregate volume to the farmers
Of the nation possessing the
requisite individual credit, but
there are many farmers who, be-
cause of their circumstances,
are prevented from securing the
accommodations they need.
The men / have especial
ly in mind are those whose oper-
atoms are on small scale and
who are not in most cases init
mately in touch with banking
machinery, who know too little
about financial operations, and
whose cases usually do not re-
ceive the affirmative attention
and sympathy of the banker.
Such farmers would be much
benefited by membership in CO.
operative credit associations or
unions."-David f. Houston,
Secretary of Agriculture.
