PERSONS IN MONTANA

All farmers whose debt problems
are of a serious nature were urged
this week by Byrne Thrailkill,
county rural rehabilitation super
visor, to get in touch with the Lin
coin county farm debt adjustment
committee without delay.
Embellishments in credit can
cause much trouble and bring about
failure as quickly as any problem
the farmer is compelled to face"
Thrailkill said, land the more quick
ly these EMBELLISHMENTS are worked
out, the more quickly farmers will
know the real meaning of pros
perity."

To Adjust Farm Debts

Inc farm adjustment program Was
established for the purpose of SET
ting, without court action, If pos
sible, the credit problems of farm
ers and their creditors in such way
that the creditors receive fair treat
ment and the farmer is given an OPP
portunity to continue toward sllc-
cess in his operations. The pro-
gram, Thrailkill explained, is car
ried on by voluntary committees
appointed by the governor. The
work is sponsored by the Resettle-
ment Administration and receives
the cooperation of the extension
service, national farm loan aSsocia-
tons, production credit associations,
farm organizations and many pri-
vate financial institutions. The
committeeman work without pay
and there is no charge to farmers
or their creditors for the committee
services. :.
I'm negotiating the settlements"
Thrailkill said, sthe aim of the COM
mittees is to secure an adjustment
compatible with the interests OF
both debtor and creditors. These
detectives do not imply the scaling
down of any reasonable Indebted
ness, nor do they countenance aiding
debtor who seeks to avail himself
of the advantages offered by this
agency without justifiable cause. a
constructive program of debt ad-
iustment not only assists the lndl-
vidual Immediately concerned, but
is an important factor in lnprov-
ing the economic condition of the
community. The creditor whose
frozen assets have been released Is
able to engage in investments which
result in a profit to himself and q
benefit to the community, while the
farm debtor is given an opportunity
to re-establish himself as a norma
purchaser in his community.
Over 500 Farmers Helped
Throughout the state of Montana
Mr.. Thrailkill reported, SIS farm
ers have found relief from credi'
reimbursement by taking theil
| troubles to the farm debt adjustment
committees. Their cases were work
ed out either by actual reduction II
their debts, refinance at lower III
terest rates, extension agreemen
with budgeted repayment plans OF
their present mortgages or genera
revision of their credit structure
Actual reductions in debt totale'
| $873, 400 on an original indebtedness

EVEN FINANCE MUST HAVE HUMAN
INTEREST ON AIR

Lon Hughes, San Francisco financial
Journalist who gives MICS Pacific Coast
Red Network a quarter-hOur Of hot-from-
the griddle financial service at 9 a. m. each
morning, has Just about done the impOs-
sible; he's humanized stock market re-
ports!
Lon wanted a larger audience than the
usual program of his type commanded, so
he made a study of listener reaction
through close questioning of his nom
professional friends.
He finds, for instance, that if he says
standard Oil earned S1.00 ON its common
stock last quarter, as compared with so
cents a year ago." only the business man
listener will be interested. But if he SAYS
STANDARD Oil reports for the quarter show
that the company made twice as much
profit last quarter than it did a year ago"
the casual housewife will mention the item
to her neigbbor as a sign of good news on
the depression situation.
incidentally Lon has discovered that
several well known banks and bond
houses require all employees to listen TO
his program daily.
