n. G. Agriculture
Is Better Off Now
Than World War !

North Carolina agriculture is cur
rently IN a stronger financial po-
Sltlon than it was at the close of
World War |, according to ]. c. Gard
ner, vice president and cashier of
Citizens Bank IL Trust company.
VINO has been designated by the
North Carolina Bankers Association
as Vance county key banker.
Reporting on the results of ma
tional survey of bank lending i'll 1915
made by the AGRICULTURAL commits
sion OF the American Bankers As
SoclS ION, Gardner said that in North
Carolina it shows that farmers use
anly tenth of the bank credit a.
valuable to them. The 2G8 banks in
the state which serve agriculture
made G3. 1875 loans 10 G3.398 farmer
last year for total amount of S37.-
465, 900. On January |, 1916, these
banks had farm loans OUTSTANDING
of Sl8,872,C00. On the same date
these banks had $2l7,l2O,O0O addi-
tional for agricultural loans had the
farmers needed IL
That the credit extended bv the
banks to their farm customers is d
useful tool of agriculture is shown
py a breakdown of these overall
figures, ne added. Last year 55.222
farmers procured farm production
loans IN an aggregate amount of S25,-
6i9,OO0. Farm real estate loans were
made to 1863 farmers Tor total of
81 $4,000. On January |. 1916,
there were outstanding in the banks
So,82l 900 III production loans AMI
81 10000 in long-tcrm farm real
estate loans. Loans on crops in sior-
age insured by The Commodity Gre
dit Corporation were made by the
banks TO only 507 farmers for a
total of only SiI4,0OO, an consider
support levels were higher in rela-
able reduction from the amounts
loaned i'll previous years when price
support levels were higher in rcla
lion TO market values. 4 total of r.
$4,000 in c. c. c. loans remained
outstanding at The beginning of this
year.
THE fact that North Carolina
farmers have found it necessary 10
use only a small part of the bank
credit available to them indicate;
that they are in a far stronger fl
