Farm profits can be increased in two
ways: securing a higher price 1or

production costs.
The latter method is too often neg
lected by North Carolina farmers,
said r. e. L. Greene, assistant in
farm management research at the

One important way of reducing
costs is that of securing production
credit at low rate of interest rath-
er than paying the 20 to 30 per cent
extrat which is frequently charged
on time purchases, he pointed out.
The Production Credit Associations
