Mr.. Street analysed farm loans
pointing out that one of the great
needs Of the farmer today Is individ-
ual education on the handling OF
his farming business instead Of max
ing the farm problem a political
football.
One bad practice, he said, was the
farmer borrowing up TO fifty per
cent Of his assets, when other manu-
facturers use twenty-five per cent
as the maximum loan blanket. and
the farmers failure to set aside a
reserve fund in the good years TO
carry him over the lean years. This
he coupled with the poor marketing
system as the outstanding reason OF
a farm problem existing.
