loans were made to a total of 500
farmers, the average loan being

In the four states served by the
Farm Credit !. Administration of
Columbia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia and Floria, over
100000 was borrowed by 49,
12o farmers. An additional $780,
900 is being advanced to farmers
who IT obtaining their loans in a
series of installments during the
season.
The spring seasonal demand for
crop production loans has now pas

of the farmers borrowing from the
associations are obtaining loans for
general agricultural purposes, such
as for purchasing work-stock, eq-
uipment and machinery, and for
financing repairs and improve
ments. This trend towards general
purpose loans is reflected in the
gradual increase in the size of the
average loan.
