Farm Cooperative AsseeIations Ar
Using New Credit FaeiIitiss-

Washington.-Coope associa-
tions will market consderably moro
farm products in 1923 than they did
last year, II indicated in reports TO
the Department Of Agriculture. A big
factor in promoting cooperative
marketing IL the improvement made
in credit facilities recently.
First steps toward better credit con-
ditions for CO operatives were taken IN
1891, when the Republican Congress
enlarged the powers Of the War Fin
ance Corporation. Up to date that
organization has authorized advances
to cooperatives amounting TO more
than $190. 100000.
Many cooperative associations are
opening up lines of credit at the new
intermediate credit banks because
the War Finance Corporation will
cease making advances on February
20. next It is believed the new insti-
tutions will function as much a. the
War Finance Corporation has done in
giving confidence and loosening up
additional outside credit. They have
already authorized advances OF about
IS, 100000 to farmers cooperative
associations handling cotton, wheat,
wool, tobacco and canned fruits.
It is pointed out that the real
service OF the intermediate credit
banks. like that Of the War Finance
Corporation, cannot be measured
merely by the volume Of their dis.
counts or advances. Their chief value
IL seen in the fact that the credit
made available by them often induces
or encourages private financial insti-
tutions to offer credit accommodation.
when otherwise they might stand
aloof. Some cooperative marketing
associations in the last two years have
been offered adequate credit from
private sources only after they had
obtained pledges OF accommodation
from the government agencies.
The intermediate credit banks
seem likely to operate soon on a
bigger scale than was expected. Each
OF the twelve institutions was provid-
ed with a capital of 100000 from
