evening wrap section, including
the ermine-hooded wraps at high
er prices. this one is the first
choice of the dancing daughters
this season.
WE did not sketch an evening
w gown, but we want to tell
you that there are lots of white
chitfons about, some pleated,
others sprinkled with brilliants,
others accented with heavy jewels
at the belt and shoulder straps.
Those that have very full skirts,
no trains, are the most popular
with the girls, but how the stag
line likes the white dresses with
fringe!
She will adore a square evening
bag of fine old mesh that closes
on hinges, knobbed with colored
stones at the top sides. She will
be impressed with a wide gold
bracelet with Florentine colored
stones set in filligree.
A CHIFFON evening hanky
with a narrow border of pailleteS,
colored suede evening gloves that
match the jewelry, and sheer SAN
dial hose with paillete strap SAN
dalS to show them off are sophisti-
Gated accents that can be added
to the gift list.
The other gadgets sketched in
the panel above are not neces-
sarily for evening, but they are the
novelties that have come out in
fashion since her last shopping
trip. There is the jeweled beetle
bug that girls like to pin on their
suit lapels, there is the petal vel
vet scarf to be worn as a collar,
and there are the scarf and belt
of paisley metal, colorful, sinuous
and exciting.

This team proved that bidding

THE EVENING STAR WASHINGTON,

one and three quarter millions Of agri-
cultural producers are members OF
such associations and have prof1ted
by the various types of credit offered.
Close to $147,00O,o 900 has been loaned
To these co-operatives since the several
banks were organized two and one-half
years ago.
The farm credit act Of 1885 en-
larged the powers of the banks for
co-operatives so that they might en-
compass the needs Of cooperative
purchasing associations for credit to
build or improve plants and equipment
and to open the credit field to farm
ers' co-operatives performing business
services, such as mutual water COM
panies and mutual insurance and tel
ephone companies.
Build Strong Structure.
I think it safe to say that the service
of counsel and direction rendered by
the banks for co-operatives to CO.
operative associations Of farmers Is no
less valuable than the actual credit
placed at the disposal Of worthy bor-
rowing associations. For, aside from
the credit service available, these
banks assist farmers cooperative pur-
chasing and marketing associations in
handling their organization and man
agement problems and in developing
sound financial policy. This pro-
gram is concerned with placing going
co-operatives on sound business
basis and involves studies Of the fac
tors effecting efficient and economical
operation.
The institutions which I have de-
scribed comprise altogether a COM
plete cooperative financing system
| built to work out permanent solution
of agricultural credit problems. There
are three types of credit. The Fed
eral land banks make long-term
mortgage loans to individual farmers.
The production credit associations pro-
vide loans to grow crops and raise
live stock. The banks for co-operatives
finance operations OF groups of farmers
who sell their products or purchase
their supplies comparatively. The
work of these farmers credit cooper
atives we'll illustrates the economic in
terdependence Of city and farming
people.
The importance Of farm purchasing
power is recognized by every city con-
sumner. What many of them may not
realize is that practically all of the
funds being loaned today by these in
stitutions come-not from the Gov
ernment nor from Government
guaranteed bonds through the sale OF
agriculture securities backed by the
notes and mortgages Of good farmers
and by the capital of these permanent
farm credit units-but from large in
vestment markets, much of the money
from city investors.
What the Farm Credit Administra-
ton means. in brief, is that farmers
Evening star., 1936-06-02

tons financial centers through the
credit banks.
SIS Associations Now.
a The first association to receive q
charter from the Farm Credit Admin
istration was established at Cham
paign, Ill, in the Fall Of 1888. Now
there are SIS similar associations Of
agricultural producers over the country.
In the more sparsely settled States Of
the West, one or two with Statewide
jurisdiction have been founded to I'LL
the requirements. In areas Of highly
concentrated production a single
county often suffices as field for an
association.
Let me digress for a moment here
to tell you how important for the
farmer is his ability to secure short
term credit for his seasonal produc-
ton needs. Nearly one-third OF
farmers income goes to buy his ma
terials of production-feed, seed, ferti-
lizer, insecticide, work stock, machin-
cry and-in many instances the heaVi-
est item-labor. Under the old hit-or-
miss system, or lack of system, OF
short-term credit-the net income OF
thousands of farmers was reduced to
the vanishing point by the high cost
of credit. The job Of the production
credit associations Is to stop the credit
leaks from the farmers pockets, the
leaks which drain away each year
many millions Of potential farm
profits
Peculiar Requirements.
The industrialist may require q
loan for so to 80 days to meet the
peak of his credit demands; most
farmers cannot meet their credit
necessities with such shortterm loans.
For the loan must cover the growing
season fer their crops and animals.
For instance, in the live stock industry
you cannot raise and fatten steer in
80 days. So when say that the pro-
duction credit system was designed
especially to meet farmers require
ments you will understand what those
peculiar requirements are.
You may be certain that as the
production credit associations got
their feet under them and commenced
really to function, some very striking
instances of their capacity for good
came to light. Everywhere through
out the country producers who each
year had faced the serious problem OF
financing their operations discovered
that by banding together with their
neighbors in a cooperative credit or
ganization they could enjoy the ad-
vantages OF the massed credit OF the
country's financial markets through
the functions of the intermediate
credit banks.
In brief, by the agency Of these
credit banks and his own production
credit association, the most remote
live stock man in the mountains of
the West can obtain credit for his
Evening star., 1936-06-02

have grouped themselves together CO.
operatively and pledged their security
collectively so as to obtain direct ac-
cess to central-investment markets
for loans at reasonable rates. All Of
the permanent units Of the Farm
Credit Administration are co-opera-
tive in principle. Every borrower owns
stock in proportion to his loan. and
through this stock he shares in con-
troll, in risk, and in savings. What
really has been provided, then, Is
Government aid in the form of capital
to enable farmers to provide them
selves with credit services.
Farm credit does not mean farm
relief The Farm Credit Administra-
ton is a cooperative service run on a
business basis. Its primary purpose
is to help farmers and their co-opera-
tive associations get out Of debt.
Evening star., 1936-06-02

as in the most thickly populated farm
areas.
One part of production credit sys-
tenn already was at hand; this was
represented by the IL intermediate
credit banks created in 1928 and de-
signed to discount the notes Of live
stock loan companies, agricultural
credit corporations and similar organ
izations. But the depression has taken
a heavy toll of country banks and these
privately capitalized institutions, and
there we're not enough of them left to
cover the whole field.
To secure the maximum advantages
Of the intermediate credit banks
themselves wholesalers of agricul-
tural credit-it was necessary to build
up complete system of local farm
ers' cooperative production credit as
sociations which would bring to farm
ers' doorsteps money from the Ma

Jersey farmer who can see the tow
ers of New York from the door Of his
haymow.
Operates on Budget.
A new feature has been introduced
in short term credit through the prac-
tices Of production credit associations;
this Is borrowing according to q budget.
Briefly. this means that when q
would-be borrower wishes to make
application for loan through pro-
duction credit association he sits down
with the secretary-treasurer Of the
organization and-with the latter's
assistance, if needed-put down on
paper schedule Of what his production
costs for the year are likely to be.
So much for seed; so much for prun-
ing of his trees. If he happens to be
an orchardist; this amount for fertil-
izer, that sum for the cost of harvest
ing and moving his product to market.
When his budget has been COM
pleted, the farmer is not going to run
himself into useless debt by borrowing
and spending more money than ne
needs or by paying interest on more
money than Is required. Upon this
budget basis funds are advanced to
the borrower, as needed; and the i'm
portant thing Is that he pays interest
ON his money only for the period COW
ering his use Of 1t. The interest rate
on production credit association loans
Is at present per cent per year; but
by the use of the budget system the
cost of borrowing money is likely to
be cut in half-particularly, inasmuch
as the average farmers heaviest ex-
pense comes at harvesting time. just
before he is ready to sell his product
and repay the loan. So, In such in
stances, a borrower may use the larg-
est portion of his credit line for the
shortest period.
Cooperative Endeavors.
Now I turn to q brief consideration
of the Farm Credit Administration s
cooperative division, the second of
the two new credit units set up as
constituent parts Of this great CO.
operative credit system. This comprises
a central bank for co-operatives in
Washington and II other banks Of a
similar nature-one in each land bank
| district.
Doubtless you all know that an agri-
cultural cooperative is an association
of producers banding themselves to-
gether to purchase their supplies or
market their products: this is on the
well-tested theory that group action
can achieve better results than is pos
sible for the individual to do. A note
worthy example of agricultural CO.
operatives are those formed by citrus
growers in Florida and California.
The banks for co-operstives do not
deal with individual farmers but with
cooperative associations Of individual
producers. At this time approximately
