BANK LOANS TO FARMERS

A summary of a study by the Divi-
sion of Farm Financial Relations on
the amount, cost, term and seasonal
%fiuctuation of short-term credit to
farmers by banks Is now available as
Department Bulletin 1048, entitled
Bank Loans to Farmers on Personal
and Collateral Security"
On December 81, 1920, according to
this study, the banks Of the country
had outstanding $3.50, 900, 900 or 1873
per cent of their total loans and dis
counts in personal and collateral
loans TO farmers. The figures obtained
indicate that for the United States as
a whole there was an increase each
month in such loans from January to
September, 1920, inclusive, after which
a gradual decrease occurred.
The average interest rates reported
by the banks on short-term loans of
800 Or more were as follows: Low,
7.59 per cent; high S.23 per cent; and
prevailing 7.96 per cent. The lowest
prevailing rate for any n State was
sos per cen for New Hampshire and
the highest 1917 per cent for New
Mexico. In many of the eastern and
southern states the actual interest
cost is somewhat in excess of the rate
reported by the banks by eason of
the frequent practice OF collecting in
terest in advance and of requiring
minimum balances at the bank during
the term of the loan.
More than half the banks reporting
stated that the average term of their
personal and collateral loans to farm
ers ran from hree to six months.
However, in the more important agri-
cultural States a considerable num-
Der of the banks reported more loans
of a term of from SIX to nine months
than from one to three months.

Although the supply of cattle and
sheep was of about normal proportions
last week. the opening of the Lenten
seaso on March first, when the de-
mand for dressed meats is usually
light, was reflected in the livestock
trade and the tendency of prices was
downward on cattle and sheep.
A light supply of cattle at the weeks
opening resulted in sharply higher
prices but with receipts assuming nor
NAL proportions after Monday, the
trend of the market was downward
and is closing steady to Csc lower
than a week ago. Some medium to
good shortfed beef steers sold at the
close from 1925 to $7.75, with bulk of
beef steers at 1925 to $500. Butcher
COWS and heifers held steady, being
relatively scarce, bulk selling from
$500 to $500, with best fat kinds on
up to around $500. Gamers and cut
tiers brought $3.50 to $3.50 for the
most part with some fleshy young
COW on the cutter order going as
feeders up to $500 or somewhat high

$3.50.
The market for veal calves closed
with practical packer top at $500, a
few up to $3.50. Seconds $500 to
$500.
Stockers and feeders went at $500
to $7.25, with $3.50 to $3.50 taking the
bulk. Most desirable feeders on the
fat cattle order sold at $6.75 to 1925.
Fat lambs declined unevenly Is to
75c with closing top at $14.50. Fat
ewes held steady for the most part,
closing top at $500.
Hog prices made a net gain of

WOOL GROWER GETS 5 CENTS
OF SLIT BUYERS DOLLAR

Huron, March SC. j. Fawcett,
wool marketing director of the Ameri-
car Farm Bureau, figures that on a
suit of clothes which retails for $40
the wool growers share is S1.96, or
40 cents of the buyer dollar.
The calculation is based on 9.S
pounds Of wool in its original state of
half-blood grade required to manufac-
ture 3Ha yards material, the amount
required for the average mans suit.
The net price to the wool grower at 20
cents per pound is based on the actual
sales of the 1921 clip.
Unless wool growers can market to
better advantage, the sheep industry
in this country will be ruined. The
Farm Bureau is seeking to save the
industry by securing a fair return to
the grower. The farmers Of the Unit
ed States produce about As per cent
of the country's consumption, and
during the past ten years the domes-
tic wool production has decreased l.
zoe, 900 pounds annually.
