Cotton loan plan looms for Georgia banks in 1914
Georgia clearing houses move to back a $150000000 cotton loan fund to aid southern growers. One third of the total is to be raised in the south with two thirds from other regions, offering seven percent interest on loans for up to five million bales of cotton over one year. Georgia banks face about $30 million in loans, with state participation near ten million. A meeting in Atlanta is set for October 14 to discuss details and potential action.
