day after he said a baseball man
ager threatened him with "physi
cal retaliation.
Livingston said Crowther Boyd
business manager of the South At

called me on the phone to cry
in pr0fane terms over the column
which appeared here Monday"
Livingston said in the first para
graph of Wednesdays column that
Boyd's threat made it 1.-The day
for laughter-riotous, rollicking
rib-breaking laughter"
Then he continued that Il have
many a bitter story from players
and every manager who has been
here since 194S-and that is four
not including the present one has
confided the pathetic relations and
lack of cooperation Mr.. Boyd has
given them in their efforts to win
the pennant. The reputation has
spread. Unhappy players do not

This surprised Boyd as much as
anyone else, for he had not been

He was 16 strokes over par in the
qualifications, and he went two
more strokes over par on the first
two holes.
Suddenly his game turned. He
slipped over par. only twice the
rest of the day, meanwhile running
home four brides and ten pars.
There were Is other players
close on his heels, though, as the

While Harris was making his bid

the win.
Jim Bragan did the damage in

bering up to "a head were much
more common; the 25 to 49 head
group ranked next; and % farm
ers reported herds of 100 steers
or more. In the case of hogs the
count showed that 81 farmers were
feeding at least 100 head each.
Several Credit Sources
Growers obtained credit from
commercial bnks, production credit
associations, Producers Credit Cor
poration, agencies selling livestock,
friends and other individuals. APP
proximately so percent of the
growers favored services offered
by commercial banks. Others were
divided in their choice. Reasons
given for particular credit sources
were satisfactory dealings over a
long period of time.
Slightly more than go percent
of the livestock feeders interview
ed stated that none of the agencies
involved were unsatisfactory. This
would indicate that credit institu-
tions were doing a reasonably good
job of advncing livestock credit.
Some of the complaints mentioned
high inerest rates, too much Sc
curity, and too much red tape.
Feeder livestock loans amount
ed to approximately 2.5 million
dolalrs in these four counties dur
ing 1852, with commercial banks
assuming the lead both in dollar
volume and number of loans.
Size of feeder loans extended
from less than $500 to more than
$4,000. More than 25 percent were
under 1000, but they represented
less than A percent of the total
volume. Less than 9 percent of the
loans were over $4,000, account
ing for 81 percent of the dollar
volume. Loans under $1,000
amounted to 35 percent of the
total.
An interesting sidelight in this
study showed that while AZ per-
cent of all agricultural loans were
made to purchase cattle, nearly 80
percent included seed, farm equip
ment, feed, and operating eXpens-
es. A few growers-12 percent
laid they were using a portion of

the loan money to pay debts.
Loans re Secured

the loan money 10 pay deDtS.
Loans re Secured
Approximately 80 percent of the
loans, or 25 percent of dollar
volume, were made without secur-
ity. Most of the other loans were
secured by livestock alone, by
livestock and feed, or farm equip
ment in the form of chattel mort
cages.
Interest rates varied from 3 per-
cent up to z percent, with the
commonest rate at 5 percent
level. Production credit associa-
tions, the Pee, and most banks
required financil statements when
advncing loans. In some instances
where the borrower was we'll
known and had a substantial net
worth, this item was not required.
Over 70 percent of the loans had
a net worth debt ration of 3 to
! or better, indicating that these
loans were well secured as far as
net worth was concerned. Small
er loans showed a lower net worth
debt ratio.
For those farmers who have
developed a good livestock credit
reputation and standing, it would
seem that their needs are quite
well served at the present time.
Most banks gave the growers in
this study line of credit with an
upper limit. In fact, there was
marked tendency for commercial
banks to seek out a siZeable pro-
portion of agricultural business.
In practically all cses, farmers
were permitted to buy their feeder
livestock where they desired Some
wr givn livestock drafts which per-
mitted the farmer to buy in any
feeder market. This draft, sent
through the regular bnking chan
nels by the feeder selling agency,
was honored, an dthe credit insti-
tuition made out the necessary loan
papers with the farmer purchaser.
This is about as flexible a set-up
as ny one would want Actually,
many feder selling agencies prefer
drafts instead of personal checks.
In the latter case, there is often a
delay while financial responsibility
is established.
