MERCHANT CREDIT EXPENSIVE

Investigations indicate that farm
ers may be materially benefited by
demonstrating to them the losses
they incur through the use OF mer-
chant credit instead of bank credit.
In conferences arranged by the Agri-
cultural Commission. American Bank.
ers Association. 1t has frequently de-
veloped that farmers in many In
stances are thoughtlessly carrying
heavy burdens of mercantile credit.
The cost to farmers OF merchant
credit often runs as high az 80 per
cent annually. Tho United States
Department OF Agriculture mas made
surveys of credit and insurance con.
ditions In North Carolina. In which
eight hundred farmers were inter.
viewed, and which showed that .433
were relying on merchant credit. The
average cost was 26S per cent. ns.
ured annually. The average rate pa i'd
by white farmers was 21s per cent.
while that for the colored was 32.2
per cent. This difference is attribut.
ed to the smaller average amount OF
credit used by the colored farmers.
the greater risk involved In credit to
them and to an inclination to take
advantage OF the less fortunate class.

Great Use Gipen Milk

The great care given In the United
States to the wholesomeness of milk
and other dairy products Is frequently
commented upon by world travellers.
That the people OF this country ap-
preciate the, efforts made to protect
the health of cattle and to keep milk
sweet and clean from the farm to the
consumer is shown by the quantities
of dairy products they use Figures
compiled by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture show that In this
country there are approximately 25,-
100000 dairy cows one-fourth of all
the milk cows In the world, and we
consume all the product of this great
herd. although we have only about
one-sixteenth OF the worlds popula-
ton. Uncle Sans best recommended
tion for the milk, butter cheese and
condensed milk produced here Is the
fact that he uses them himself.
