Clemson College, June 4.—Due to the increasing demand for summer courses the administra tion of the Clemson Summer School announces the addition of four hew courses. Professor Reed who has had considerable radio experience has been added to the summer staff to give a course in Radio Repairing. Professor Reed states that this will not be a highly technical course involving advanced mathematics but will be a practical course based on the needs of those enrolled. He will also offer a course for sophomore agricultural students in Physics. Dr. O. P. Rhyne has been add ed because of the demand for Columbia, June 4.—In the first [year of the Farm Credit Adminis tration, which came to a close on Sunday, May 27, the institutions of the third district comprising the states of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, and the associations under direct su pervision of the district adminis tration, loaned a total of over $83,- 000,000. Of this total over $58,000,000 con sisted of farm mortgage loans of the Federal Land Bank of Columbia and the Land Bank Commissioner; $370,850 consisted of loans by the Columbia Bank for Cooperatives; $7,213,922 of net loans by the Fed eral Intermediate Credit Bank of Columbia; $7,241,542 of loans by the Production Credit associations operating under th^e supervision of the Production Credit Corporation of Columbia; $2,094,532 of loans by the Regional Agricultural Credit Corporation of the district and $8,- 502,055 of emergency crop produc tion loans. Out of a total of $57,261,988 put out on loans by the Federal Land Bank of Columbia and the Land Bank Commissioner, a total of $47,- 821,325 was used by borrowers to refinance their indebtedness. Of this $10,030,655 refinanced farmers’ debts to commercial banks, includ ing receivers and conservators of banks; $2,827,425 went on their debts to insurance companies; $2,- 899,818 went on their taxes and $32,063,517 went on their debts to other creditors. Not all of the money has been loaned in actual cash. On March 26, the Federal Land Banks switch ed from closing loans with cash to closing them with bonds of the Federal Farm Mortgage Corpora tion. The Federal Land Bank of Columbia has already put out a to tal of approximately $10,000,000 in these bonds and announces that almost .without exception bankers and farmers’ creditors have indi cated that they are glad to' accept them In lieu of cash. The bonds now being used in closing land bank and Land Bank Commissioner loans bear 3 per cent interest and are exempt from all taxation except the usual inheri tance* estate and gift taxes, In terest and principal of the bonds are guaranteed by the government. ■...*■> N-w ^ V . --Jj • ' The ; money being loaned through the Federal Intermediate Credit Bank likewise is obtained from the investing public and the ' ' i confidence of the investing public in the soundness of the agricultural paper being handled by this bank has enabled the bank to get money at a very low rate of interest. Through the new type of perma nent local production credit, asso ciation managed by persons chosen by the farmer-members and super vised by the Production Credit Cor poration of Columbia, farmers are not only getting loans which are low in cost, but which are also ac curately timed to the production season, arranged to mature when crops are marketed and the indebt edness can be liquidated most ad vantageously. The Columbia Bank for Coopera tives lends only to cooperative or ganizations of farmers in the states of North Carolina, South Carolina Georgia and Florida. The applica tions received by this bank for loans up to this time have covered such products as pecans, citrus fruits, lespedeza, asparagus, water melons, ferns, truck crops, fertili zer, etc., having come from all four states of the district. for those who desire to prepare for language requirements for ad vanced degrees as well as for regular students of French and German. Prospects for a good summer school are evident the officials announce. Advance applications! continue coming in and many 1 Number 1 Dr. Marion McH. Hull To Be at Troy A. R. P.
