proposed 100000 experiment in
loaning .mo ney to farmers who desire
to diversity, according to p. c. Rem
ington, president Of the City Nation
al Bank Of Bismarck, who attended
the meeting.
1t is expected, Mr. Remington said
that the plan of making loans in
onc-crop sections will go through
and that within Il short time Mr.
Grangaard and associates will be
able to announce that applications
are to be received.
Burlcigh county farmers will be
able to make loans, it is expected
Originally it was proposed that the
loans be made only in counties hav-
ing county agents. The Fargo meet
ing recommended that loans also be
made in counties where there are no
agents, Burlcigh county being in this
class. Mr.. Remington, who went to
Fargo for the purpose of urging in
cusion of a recommendation of this
@ort, and Benton Baker, who attended
the conference, were gratificd with
this result.
The proposal of the Agricultural
Credit Corporation, the $4,000, OOC
agency formed to aid in stabiliZing
Northwestern credit conditions, is
briefly this:
81 100000 was set aside from which
loans may be made to farmers to buy
livestock, enabling them to diversity
their farming operations.
The method is not attended to
Supcrccde or compete with local
banks, but as a supplemental effort.
1t is to be entirely experimental
to determine if farmers desire to
borrow money to enable them to 'di-
versify, and whether their divcrsi-
ficaton efforts will bring them sue
cess.
Either owners or tenants would be
made eligible for loans, and loans
made only for purchasing high grade
or pure bred livestock. A mortgage
would be taken on the stock.
County agents and others on local
committees would supervise local
loaning operations.
Loans probably would be limited
to $1,000, with interest at percent,
one percent of which would be used
to assist community purchasing rep
resentatives in the selection and
settlement for stock purchased.
Montana and South Dakota, which
did not warm up to the proposal at
first, asked at Fargo that it be in
cluded with western Minnesota and
North Dakota, and recommendation
to this effect was made. 1t was, the
sense of the Fargo conference that
the experiment is worth while, and
that it would prove of great benefit
