ADJUSTMENT OF FARM DEBT BEING MADE RAPIDLY FARM DEBT ADJUSTMENT COM MITEES REPORT FAVORABLY. Aid Greatly in Bringing Debtor and Creditor to Satisfactory Agreement. Farm debt adjustment commit tees, now organized in every county in Oregon, are already being high ly effective in bringing debtors and creditors on a basis agreeable to both, according to reports made by county farm debt adjustment com mittees to the Oregon Agricultural Advisory council and the College Agricultural Extension service. The mere presence of these volun tary debt adjustment committees la proving a bulwark of public senti ment against severe actions by debt ors and creditors in a time of emer gency. Such was the case to a cer tain extent with the first system of voluntary committees last year. This year the committees are still stronger, and while still without le gal status. they have the sanction and support of the state and nation al officials including, the Farm Cre dit administration. Early reports show that most of the cases laid before the com mittee may be settled by the chair man or secretary of the county com mittee alone by merely analyzing the situation and pointing out to both debtor and creditor the possi ble adjustments In principle, inter est rates, payments or other features of the debt. A small percentage must be heard by the entire com mittee. and a few find their way to the state committee. In all cases common sense is the first and most Important rule of procedure, ac- cording to members of the state committee. The volume of work this year is expected to be many times as large as last year, hence every efort is be ing made to lighten the burden of the committee members who work without compensation. County agents can assist in giving out information, having blanks filled out, and ar ranging for hearings, though the committees alone are responsible for decisions. Around 2000 approved applica tions to the federal land bank for loans in Oregon have not been closed because of the necessity for adjustment between present credi tors with debators, usually arising from the fact that less money can be borrowed now than the old debts amount to.
