I'm Their History

The stockholders Of the Wac
carnaw Bank & Trust Company
held their 32nd annual meeting
in Whiteville last Wednesday
and heard the President Of the
ten-bank chain reveal that de-
posts and earnings were at an
all-time record high in 1857.
Following the business session,
a banquet dinner was served to
stockholders in the cafeteria of
the Edgewood city school and
Arthur Jones, of the American
Commercial Bank in Charlotte
was the principal speaker.
President Lacy Tate gave the
annual report to the Stockhold-
ers that appears in part as fol-
lows:
81 consider it a distinct honor
to have the privilege of pre-
senting to you the thirty-Second
annual report giving you the
results of the operation of our
bank for the calendar year 1857
This is the eighth report l have
had the privilege of preparing
and presenting 20 you since
came to the WhItcville office in
1850.
I'VE have continued the policy
in all OF our ten banks to parti-
cipate in all community activi-
ties that will further the growth
and prosperity in each section.
We shall continue to make every
effort to assist and encourage
diversified farming and use our
best efforts to sustain the pres
EN- economy, and o bring in new
industry on a sound and bust
ness like basis, in order that all
of our people will have the OPP
portunity of greater employ
ment and additional income. We
believe that all major civic and
community endeavors have had
the full support of the people as
ISOLATED with our banks. Such
high regard for the personal re-
sponsibilitieS of citizenship
speaks for the calibre of the
people whose same devotion TO
duty has built your bank and
Will continue to enable it TO
grow.

The survey, as pointed out by

Agriculture continues to bel
the main source OF income in
the sections where our banks are
located and our prosperity is
greatly affected BY the success
of agriculture. In 1857 we had
a reduction of 90 in tobacco
acreage, which IS our main
source of farm income. Crop
were favorable in
some sections and unfavorable
in other sections. Il is estimated
that our farmers received twelve
million dollars less from their
tobacco crop in 1857 than in
1856 in the five counties where
we have banks. Naturally this
vitality affects all business and
particularly the banking bust
ness. However. with the increaS-
ed rates on securities, and with
a very efficient and progressive
operation, we are cgain able to
report that the year 1857 was
one of the highest earning years
our bank has had since its org
anization thirty-two years ago.
Our combined earnings for the
year 1857. before taxes and divi-
bends were deducted amounted
to 1888. 228.33 After deducting
an estimated income tax of
Sl83 100000, left a net earnings

USDA Information Specialist

While most colored farmers still
live in rundown housing On farms
too small or unproductive to pro-
vide them with full employment
and an acceptable standard of iv-
ing, increasing numbers of these
disadvantaged producers have built
modern homes and are becoming
soundly established in agriculture.
Many of these have been aided
by credit and counsel from the
Farmers Home Administration of
the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture.
This is the impression l got
during a recent tour of farming
communities in New Jersey, Ten
nessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and
Texas.
Altogether, | visited &c Negro
farm families who have been as
sisted by Farmers Home. Unable
to get adequate credit aid else
where, they turned to this Govern
ment agency for loans. The agency
was established more than 20
years ago to help meet the credit
needs Of such disadvantaged farm
erS.
Some of the families visited had
obtained loans to buy farms of
their own, others to expand and
develop their farms into economic
sized family units. Most had bor-
rowed funds to buy farm equip
ment, livestock, fertilizer, and in
secticides, or to take care of other
operating expenses. And II of
the 26 families had obtained loans
to build new homes or modernize
their old ones.
Farmers Home recently lowered

matoes, sweetpotatoes, and egg
plants. Bad weather has been
hurting him since 1852.
Texas dairyman Harry Lewis of
Sulphur Springs and one of his
sons, Robert, are in partnership.
Their Grade A milk checks range
from $1,000 to $1,000 a month.
They have 81 cows now and want
about 40 more. "Then we are go
ing to get out of cotton" says Mr..
Lewis.
Recently they got loan from
Farmers Home to add 165 acres of
pastureland to their 130-acre farm.
Seventeen years ago, the Lewises
were struggling tenants with one
milk COW.
In Oklahoma / visited Mr.. and
Mrs. Willie Scroggins of Idabel.
They have borrowed funds from
the Government agency to buy
some beef cattle as way out OF
one-crop cotton farming. They
have 20 head and want 80 more.
The Farmers Home Administra-
ton has loaned Oklahoma colored
farmers nearly a million dollars
to help them build homes and be-
come soundly established in farm
ing. The loans range from $4,000
to $4,000.
The agency tries not to lend
farmers just enough to continue a
makeshift existence, but enough to
develop the kind of farming pro-
gram which will assure a family
an adequate standard of living
including education opportunities
for the children.
Last fiscal year Farmers Home
made loans totaling $33O,162,O OC
to white and colored farmers of
the Nation who were unable to
obtain adequate credit elsewhere.
This brought it's total loans out
standing to a little ever one billion
dollars.
Collections during the year to-
tailed $316,391 900, or nearly as
much as was loaned. More than
37,400 farm families repaid their
loans in full. 1t is estimated that
207, 900 farmers made use of Farm
ers Home credit last year.

White Supremacy,

white settler paternalism.
Through the general adulation
energies the fact that the Dominion
party, which favors white supre-
macy, although defeated ut the
polls by Sir Roy's United Federal
party, has advanced its cause In
British Central Africa.
In the old Federal Parliament
of thirty-five members the Do
minionites held only one-tenth Of
the power in the party lineup. In
the new assembly, expanded to
fifty-nine members, they have
climbed to one-sixth. And the lat
est figures show that the Dominion
party's vote represents IS per cent
of the electorate.
In addition, it became known
today that thousands of ballots
for the election of the four Afri-
cans to the special seats in Sou
thern Rhodesia had been deliber-
ately invalidsted, left blank or de-
faced, by white voters asked to
state their choice of an African
candidate. "A total of 6,314 such
ballots, representing 10 per cent of
the total general electorate
throughout Southern Rhodesia,
were rejected by election officers.
These methods of rejection were
most prevalent in Dominion party
strongholds in the colony. Before
the election, the right wing of the
Dominion party, including viru-
lently racist Afrikaner settlers,
made it clear they would not vote
for an African ain any circum-
stances" Only one of the Domin-
ion party's four Negro candidates
in the colony was elected.

it's eligibility requirements for
housing loans as an anti-recession
move. Now any farmer who owns
farm which produces as much
as $500 worth of products for sale
or home use may be eligible for a
housing loan, provided he has suf-
ficient farm and other income to
meet the payments which may be
spread over a period up to 33
years.
The new homes / saw ranged in
cost from $4,000 to $4,000. Yet
they are comfortable, attractive,
and modern. The farmers are
able to cut costs by hiring local
carpenters and bricklayers, and by
doing part of the work themselves.
When a Farmers Home county
official and l arrived at the at
tractive new home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Isaac Smith of Helena, Ark, we
found them repairing their swing.
Mrs. Smith had hung freshly laun-
dered curtains. Fifty yards away
sat an old rundown shack in which
they and their children had spent
too many years.
AS attractive as the new homes
are-some brick, some frame-it
was the quality of farming under
pinning that impressed me most.
Take Mr.. and Mrs. o. D. MacLin
and their mother of Summerville,
Tenn, who had just brick-veneered
their old house. They used to de-
pend almost entirely on cotton.
Now they have Is brood cows, a
Hereford Bull, and three Duroc
sows. They expect to sell Is
| calves and so hogs this year in
addition to 80 bales of cotton.
"We'd like to have 20 to Is
brood cows and six sows," said
the quiet spoken Korean War vet
eran, who took over the farm af-
ter his father died three years ago.
New Jerseys Ivory D. Clark of
Swedesboro has an 84-acre truck
farm. He has obtained a loan
from Farmers Home to help him
finance the production of his 30
acre asparagus crop. During nor
