TELLSOF LOAN
PROBLEM
c. c. Youman, Appraiser, Says
First Applications Swamped
Institution

Col. c. c. Youmans, appraiser for
the Federal Farm Loan Bank for this
district, located at Columbia, S. c.,
was a guest at the Lions club lunch
con Tuesday and at the request of
fhe club members spoke briefly of
some of the difficulties the bank is
experiencing in handling the immense
business pouring into the office daily.
Mr.. Youmans said that it was
thought best at the beginning to place
no restrictions on the submission of
applications for loans, for fear that
TO do so would create unfavorable
sentiment throughout the district. AS
2 result, he said, the bank received
within very short time approximate
" $75,O00,000 in applications, vol
ume that they had not anticipated
and which was beyond human effort
the bank to dispose of in several
months. On this account, he said,
some dissatisfaction and complaint
had been cSning in, because loans
approved had not been closed and
checks forwarded. He said that ir
addition to this large number of APP
plications that had flooded the offices
Of the bank at first, they had been re-
ceiving on an average of 500 appli-
cations per month since.
But for the long hours and loyal
cooperation of the office force, we
could never have taken care of this
business" said Mr.. Youmans. $50
much complaint came in on account
of delays in closing loans we found
it necessary to receive no more APP
plcations until we had cleared up
the accumulation and this, too, has
created wrong impression. Some
Of the people are saying that the bank
has not enough money to meet the
demands. We want the farmers and
landowners to fully understand that
there is plenty of money in the
bank. And if this becomes exhaust
ed, all the bank has to do is issue
more bonds and get more money. We
are now sending out an average of
975 checks month amounting to
two and one half millions of dollars,
over this district which is going a
long way toward relieving present f.
nancial depression.
Mr.. Youmans was for several years
principal of the Americas High
school and while here made many

WHAT'S DOING
 AT RED LAKE

Indications point that the country in Red Lake Valley and Pittman Valley is going to be the real potato Country. More than 300 acres will be planted in Red Lake this spring to po- tatoes. 18O acres will be planted to potatoes on the Claude Hume Ranches. Frank Herr is planning on planting about 100 acres to potatoes on his Mccoy Place in Pittman Valley. He also is going to plant part of the Reneke place, which he has under lease, to potatoes. It sure looks as if the country lying east of Will Hams is going to furnish the Southwest with a goodly quota of their spuds this fall. Flow ing has already begun.
 Claude Thomson and family have moved back to their ranch, in the heart of Red Lake Val ley. Claude has lost few pounds thru living the fast city life, and is glad to get back to Red Lake Valley, where 1t is peaceful and quiet, and where
 he will be awakened in the early morning by the growing of the roosters on the Harry Shill poultry ranch.
 Tom Moss and family are moving back to their ranch in Red Lake Valley. Tom lives out in the surburbs, on the east side of the Valley.
 The Red Lake School started Monday. Harry Shill, the teacher, is introducing manual training. The Red Lake School is foremost among the co ihtry and it is not thought that even the city schools pos sess advantages, in the way of developing the children along useful and educational lines, not to be had in Red Lake.
 On the morning of the 9th it | was 2 degrees below zero in Pittman Valley, which goes to show that the folks living in that vicinity are still able to keep nice and cool.
