BANK RATES THE LOWEST Department Urges Thrift, Industry and Reliability on Farmers to Win Credit Standing—Bank­ ers Asked to Kelp. The cost to farmers of credit from stores is more than 25 per cent when calculated on the basis of a yearly Interest rate, while banks charge little more than 0 per cent, says the official report of the Department of Agriculture on ite recent survey of farmer credit in North Carolina. Beautiful Assorted Candle Sticks "Farmers would profit greatly If they could place themselves la position to borrow from banks and pay their bills with cash,” the re­ port continues.

This will require co operation of county ageras, farm organizations and the banker: themselves. But the banks can not do it all. Effort toward a bet ter acquaintance is necessary on the part of farmers. Frankness re­ garding their business affairs is essential.” The large part credit cost plays In agricultural conditions is point­ ed out by the departm ent’s report which says North Carolina farmers contract debts amounting to more than $200,000,000 annually, and therefore a difference of only 1 per cent In the average interest rate would affect the net income from agriculture there approximately $2,000,000 each year. More than half the farmers in the areas in­ vestigated relied on merchandise advances, and the total merchant credit was nearly three times the short-term bank cred it High Interest Rates “The average interest rate charged for merchant credit was 22.3 per cent," the survey reveals. "Credit from local stores was the most expensive, costing an aver- age of 26.6 per cent. Landlords came next In order, with a rate of 21.5 per cent. Factories and their agents are mnch lower, with rates of 14.2 and 17.0 per cent re­ spectively. “Fertilizer and Hiving expenses* are the chief purposes for which merchant credit is extended. Stores apparently handle more of such business than all other agen­ cies combined, while banks carry less than one-sixth of the total. That the farmers fall to obtain needed short-term credit direct from banks constitutes a handi­ cap to agriculture In North Caro­ lina, since the rate on such loans Is materially lower than on short­ term loans from all other sources.” PARIS, Dec. 27.— Now is the time for all good Parisians to be digging into their pockets for ' Christm as tips to be distributed > among all their many servitors. j F irst the postmen, always two or i Take S alts to F lu sh K idneys and three, who come to the door with H elp N eutralize Irri­ homly little calendars handed out ta tin g A cids by the Postal D epartm ent.
