Edison Farm Loan Plan Before Bloc
A proposed long term farm credit plan by inventor Thomas Edison was discussed by a Senate agriculture bloc committee. The scheme centers on a Federal farm bank issuing farm currency loaned to farmers for up to 25 years with 1 percent interest, secured by 50 percent of crops and backed by government warehouse storage. Edison also urged storage and loans for bituminous coal to stabilize supply and prices, arguing storage could aid miners and industry.
