FARMERS NEED
SHORT CREDIT
St. Paul Bank President Says
Credit Must Be Extended
to Producers
(By United Press)

St. Paul, Dec. REPRODUCTION
must be maintained or credit extend
ed the farmer, and both long and
short terms must be granted, in the
belief Of E. G. Quamme, president
of the St. Paul Federal Land bank.
Farmers need short time credit for
meeting expenses, Quamme urged,
and usually small country banks can
furnish this for 80 to 80 days. Long
time loans on live stock, building and
land should be granted at low rate
of interest. He suggested period of
from 80 to 40 years.
Quamme agreed with farmers and
bankers at !Owatonna yesterday, de-
clar;ng that farmers assets by their
nature are not as liquid as mer-
chandise. For this reason much farm
paper is not eligible for re-discount
in the federal reserve and other in
situations, it was said.
Another meeting for discussion of
the financial. situation as effecting
farmers will be held at Crookston to-
morrow. A meeting will be hold at
St. Cloud on Friday.
