Farmers Appeal for Gov t Loans to Finance Crops
Washington October 18 George P Hampton managing director of the Farmers national council urged the federal reserve board to finance this year's crops if the board fails to mobilize its members. He proposed the government borrow money and deposit it in national banks to be loaned to farmers at no more than one percent above the cost of production. The aim is to allow farmers to hold part of their crops until production costs are covered or demand improves. He argued both primary producers and those seeking to control farm products with access to credit need financing.
