Production Credit
Organization Will
Be Made Permanent
Montgomery Farmers May OBJ
tain Loans To Finance Their
Requirements y

"The Frederick Production Credit
Association is intended to become a
permanent organization in order that
farmers in the counties of Frederick,
Montgomery, Carroll, Washington,
Washington, Allegany and Garrett
may always have available, during
the remainder of this year and
throughout all of next year as we'll
as through the years to come, a
regular and dependable source to
which they may go to obtain loans
for their farm-production financing
requirements" In these words,
Thomas S. Anderson, secretary-treas-
urer of the Frederick association,
explained the fundamental purpose
of the newly established organization.
Mr.. Anderson said that despite
the fact that the Frederick Produc-
ton Credit Association has been in
operation for only a few months, it
nevertheless has closed loans amount
ing to thousands of dollars. "Nat-
urally any new organization cannot
begin to roll smoothly" he said,
until it has had an opportunity to
learn the best and most satisfactory
methods of operation from actual ex-
perience. l do not say this as an
excuse or as an apology, but simply
to show that we are continually
lettering our organization and are
not bound to any dogmatic rules that
experience has taught are not work
able"
Any farmer who lives in any of
the above mentioned counties is eli
gible to apply for a loan from the
Frederick Production Credit Asso-
citation. But, according to Mr.. An
derson, no loan will be made if it is
not soundly and adequately secured.
Mr. Anderson has his offices in
The Academy Building, 113 Council
st., Frederick, Md. and he states
that he welcomes any questions that
may be asked him, either verbally
or written, about the association. He
also said that the county agricultural
agents are well informed on this
subject and can give international
assistance to those interested in find
