modify Credit Corporation will re-
ceive per cent.
This is what Secretary Wallace
said of the interest rate reduction"
Terwey said: 1.-THE policy of the
Commodity Credit Corporation is to
reduce all interest rates and cary
ing charges to their lowest reason
able levels. The advantage of such
a policy are abvious. 1t gives the
farmers the opportunity to retain
the maximum equities in the COM
modities under loan. The reduc-
ton in the interest rate from to
3 per cent will result in savings
to farmers of approximately $4,-
100000 annually on loans now out
standing. This is a constructive
step and I wish to express my APP
probation to the American Bank
ers Association, which cooperated
fully with Commodity Credit Cor
poration in this reduction of inter-
est rates to farmers"

Here in Minnesota under the di-
rection of w. H. Olson, manager
of the committee, a rather thor
ough sign-up was carried on to get
at least IS per cent of the dairy
plants of the state signed up. BY
the end of August the program got
under way and all of the plants who
had signed up started making their
contributions at the rate of SOC per
1000 pounds of butterfat per year.
The sign-up program in Minnesota
was slower than in other areas but
