SOME FLOOD ZONE FACTS

A revision of statistics, made on
the basis of last minute figures from
the flood zone, showed persons
whose homes were flooded numbered
1,2O5,256. Of these persons, 748,229
were under care of the American
Red Cross, either in concentration
camps or elsewhere. Many families
were being fed in their homes, or
while being sheltered by neighbors
and friends.
The Red Cross was operating 1913
concentration camps and 270 field
hospitals. Persons sick in hospitals
numbered 1928, and nurses on duty
numbered 1906.
The high waters affected families
in III counties in eleven states. The
Red Cross had moved refugees into
ia additional counties, which were
not flooded by the rising rivers, and
housed them there temporarily, IN
til their own homes could be made
habitable again.

Credit Concern
Has Fine Year

The Winston-Salem Production
Credit Association, which serves
Allegheny, Ashe, Caldwell, David
son, Forsyth, Stokes, Surry, Wilkes,
Watauga and Yadkin counties, had
a very successful year In 1886, ac-
cording to reports by officers of this
farmers cooperative credit organiza-
ton submitted at the annual meeting
of stockholders held at Winston-Sal-
EN- on January Both.
At the annual meeting which was
well attended, complete and detailed
reports, illustrated by charts, were
given to the stockholders, showing
how much business was done, how
much it cost to run the association,
the distribution of expenses, the net
profits and other interesting data.
Reports were made to the meeting
by Paul J. Vestal, president of the
association; L. E. Francis, secretary
treasurer, and talk on the advan-
tage of the cooperative credit sys-
tenn was made by E. S. Welborn, a
member of the board of directors.
A talk stressing the interest OF
farm women in the association was
made by Mrs. Mary Sink Woosley.
Paul J. Vestal and w. H. Hardy
were reelected to serve on the
board of directors of the association.
Other members of the board whose
terms did not expire are E. S. Wei
born, A. B. Hobson, and ]. R. For
rest.
The reports of the officers showed
that the association made 6lO loans
for $50, 10000 last year.
H. L. Gardner, of the Production
Credit Corporation of Columbia, ad-
dressed the meeting. He reviewed
the remarkable progress which has
been made by the production credit
associations in the states of North
Carolina, South, Carolina, Georgia
and Florida. The increasing number
of farmers availing themselves of
the credit service which the associa-
lions offer, he said, is the best proof
of their appreciation of the service.
In 1884, the irst yea of thei opera
tions, the associations made loans
totaling $9,000,000; in 1885 they
made loans totaling $14,000,000 and
in 1886 made loans totaling nearly
$16,OOO,OOO.
Through the production credit as
sociations, Mr.. Gardner said, farm
ers are able to get money with which
to produce and harvest their crops at
cost as low as those available to any
other industry. The associations, he
said, do not lend government money
but discount their paper through the
Federal intermediate Credit Bank
which, in turn, secures money from
private investors through the sale of
farm paper.
Each peson present was given a
key ring as a souvenir. Four prizes
were given which consisted of three
thoroughbred berkshire female pigs
and a pen of thoroughbred barred
rock chickens. Aida Pell, Pinnacle,
N. c., was awarded the pen of chic
kens; Herman Make, Walnut Cove,
N. c., and Jasper Speas, Tobacco
vile, N. c., each received pig.
