j. b. E. La Plante agricultural paper
for banks and
other lending institutions. 1t lends
money to cooperative associations
on the security of warehouse re-
ceipts, after the farm product has
reached a collateral position and is
being held for gradual absorption
in an orderly marketing program.
The secured and endorsed notes
of farmers and of co-operatives are
held by the Federal intermediate
Credit Bank as collateral against
which it sells debentures. So sound
is this agricultural paper regarded
that investors heavily oversubscribe
every offering of debentures. They
buy these debentures at rates so
low that twice during the past year
the credit bank has been able to
reduce its discount rate, first from
per cent TIC 31z per cent, and then
from 81 to 2 per cent. This in turn
enables production credit associa-
tons to lend at s per cent. the

W QdtC. NTaEfor 2 Calm
For the four " "i'o- ''-'''-
states loans exceed 1000 and the
amount advanced, as of Dec. Is,
was S3.835,O0O with applications at
that time sufficient to suggest a
100000 total by the close OF the
year. Secretary-treasurerS of Pro-
duction Credit Associations estimate
at least double this amount OF
Production Credit Association loans
during the coming year.
Production Credit Associations
are capitalized by the purchase of
non-voting stock by the Production
Credit Corp. Of Louisville and by the
required purchase of voting stock
by borrowers to the amount Of SIS
for each 500 or fraction thereof
borrowed. All the voting stock be-
ing in the hands of borrowers, the
cooperative character and opera
ton of each association is assured.
Borrowers of production credit
funds must provide adequate Secur-
ity. Collateral usually consists Of
personal property or livestock and
the crops or other product being
financed. Borrowers must submit
a satisfactory repayment plan. This
is deemed one of the most valuable
features of Farm Credit Admins
tration financing. The borrower
must furnish an accurate financial
statement. The association execu-
tives will help him prepare this
statement if necessary. Use of pro-
duction credit is causing many
farmers to keep accurate records
who never did so before, thus add
ing to the efficiency of farm opera
ton.
Every borrower, as before stated,
must buy voting stock and become
a partner in association manage
ment. and each is required TO pay
a reasonable inspection fee and
other necessary charges of the loan
When a production credit loan is
repaid the borrower may list his
stock for resale. Most of them
however, prefer to retain it as a
basis for future borrowing.

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-In spite of
drought and other unfavorable fac
tors, the agricultural industry is set
ting the pace toward general eco
nomic recovery, Horace Bowker,
chairman of the American Agricul-
tural Chemical Co., declared in a
recent review of the past year.
Industrial recovery, which would
lift the purchasing power of the
farmers customers and a recovery
in world trade hold the keys to a
further betterment in the agricul-
tural situation, Mr.. Bowker said.
Geographically, the gains in
agriculture, he said. have been well
distributed. Kansas shows the great
est increase for the year, with farm
cash income of $288, 100000 a 81 per
cent increase over last years in

EMPLOYMENT RISES
UNDER TEXTILE CODE
Cotton Mills About Break
Even on Year.
BY GEORGE A. SLOAN

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-The cotton
manufacturing industry is closing
the year with employment at about
the same level as a year ago and
with 10000 more working on its
pay roll than at the end of 1882.
Average monthly employment in
cotton mills in the last three years
has been: 1884, 100000 persons;
1888, $4,000 (the last half of 1888
was under the Cotton Textile Code)
1882, 301,000
1t is noteworthy that the indus
try in 1884, full year under the
code, employed 40 per cent more
workers than in 1882, while the pro-
duction of cotton goods increased
about 10 per cent over 1932-an eff
fective demonstration of benefits of
the shortened work week.
From a financial standpoint cot

Bonds Marketed.
A new Indiana security was in
troduced in the market during the
past year. The first isSue OF bonds
for the construction of sewage dis
posal plants was marketed the past
year by the City Securities Corp. Of
this city.
Although the law under which
these bonds are being issued was
passed in the special session Of the
legislature in 1882, it has taken the
intervening time to complete all the
necessary legal procedure SO that
1884 will really mark the birthday OF
this new type Of security.
Every city and town in the state
now has the power to own and
operate a sewage treatment plant
and all of the appurtenances
necessary for the publication and

waste.

By ERNEST RICE, General Agent
Farm Credit Administration
The agricultural credit situation
in Indiana, in fact, throughout the
Fourth Farm Credit Administration
district Of Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky
and Tennessee, improved immeas-
urably during 1884. A year and a
half ago thousands of Indiana farm
ers were forced to borrow at rates

Other Changes Cited

Another change is in the minimum
income requirement. The original
regulation was that the maker of
the note "or husband and wife joint
~, if both are signers" must have a
stated bona f1de source of annual in
come equal to at least five times the
annual payments on the note. The
revised regulation says other men,
berS Of the family may be joint
signers of the note, and adds that
they must have a combined gross in
come cor sufficiently in prospect to
satisfy the financial institution
equal to at least five times the an
nual payments.
A third change removes the lini-
tation on the number of pieces OF
property on which one owner may
obtain loans. Originally property
owner could obtain insured loans for
improvements to not more than five
separate pieces Of property. Now
there is no limit, except the eligi-
bility Of the property owner from
the standpoint of good credit.
So much has been accomplished
under Title of the National Hous-
ing Act in a little more than four
months. We have one full year of
operation of this section Of the act
ahead Of us, as it expires by limi-
tation on Dec. 81, 1885. Under the
stimulus of what has been done
thus far, and with the support of
additional committees to be ap-
pointed in many comm until S
throughout Indiana, we expect the
total by the end of the year to run
into many millions of dollars.
But from the longtime stand
point, Titles II and III of the act
which provide for mutual insur-
ance Of mortgages for construction
of new homes and for refinancing
of existing mortgages, hold out still
greater hope for business improve
ment and for relief Of unemploy-
ment. This part of the program ha.
just gone into practical effect.

been a decrease in arrests and con-
victions for drunken driving-from
% in July. 1888, to II last July.
Nevertheless. he added, 1t is true
that in many fatal accidents the
man behind the wheel had been
drinking. Militant temperance ad-
vocates assert that the question Of
provable drunkenness Is beside the
point: that the real problem is the
Increase Of the number of persons
who think nothing of driving car
after taking "a beer" or'"one or two
drinks" --<
While these drivers are not drunk
they point out. it is scientific fact
that their efficiency is reduced. that
their responses are so checked by
the alcohol as to greatly increase the
l'danger of accidents.
The fatality picture is somewhat
frightened by the fact. pointed out
by superintendent Reynolds that
despite the. recent alarming Increase.
the total figure for 1884 to date COM
pared with the figure for the same
period last year. actually shows a
% per cent decrease In auto deaths
in the state outside of Wilmington.
Figures supplied by the Delaware
Safety Council for as far back as
the records go. show that 1926 was
the worst year for fatalities. In that
year 81 persons were killed For
accidents, 1880 was the worst. with
26O5 accidents. These figures are
for the entire state, including Will
mingtOn.
The record OF fatalities since 1924
follows: 1924-6O; 1925-44; 1926
81: 1878; 1s2s-7S; 1929-67:
193O-75; 1877: 1s32-s5: 1888
70.
The record of accidents goes back
only to 1927. as follows: 1927
1894: 192S-2.OO7; 1g29-2.31S; 1880
-2,6O5; 1931-2,5SO; 19S2-2.455;
1933-2.5O5.
The total Of fatalities for the en-
tire state including Wilmington. this
year to date is Al, compared with 45
for the same period last year. The |
total of accidents in the first seven |
months Of this year is 1857 compared |
with 1922 for the first seven months |
of 1888.
Meanwhile this year. 16 motorists.
12 of them Delawareans. have had |
their licenses revoked for driving
while drunk in the state.
officials agree that all these facts |
indicate some action is necessary,
but there has been no decision as to
what form II will take. At any
rate, the recent accidents have had |
one good effect in that they have
increased the attention being given
the problem.
