Columbia, S. C., Feb. 10, 1936.—
The annual meetings of 88 produc
tion credit associations in North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia
and Florida, held in January, were
attended by a total of 24,038 farm
ers, according to figures given out
by Ernest Graham, president of the
Production Credit Corporation of
Columbia.
There are 95 associations in the
four states comprising the third
Farm Credit Administration dis
trict, Mr. Graham said, but eight
of these are located in citrus and
vegetable areas and their annual
meetings are held later in the year.
The 95 associations in the district
have a total membership of 47,250
farmers.
Notwithstanding the fact that
the weather was much worse this
January than in January a year
ago the attendance this year show
ed an increase of nearly 5,000 over
last year when a total of 19,382
attended the meetings.
“No more convincing proof of the
interest of the farmers in the suc
cess of their production credit as
sociations can be had,” said Mr
Graham “than the fact that such
large numbers braved icy winds
snow, sleet and rain and in many
instances traveled over practically
impassable roads to attend the an
nual meetings. I have never been
privileged to witness a greater ex
hibition of loyalty.
“It is a source of gratification,
too, to know that those farmers
who made such sacrifices to attend
these meetings must have felt well
repaid for in every single instance
they heard reports of a successful
year’s operations. Every one of the
associations operated at a profit
last year and the capital stock oi
every one remains unimpaired. The
95 associations in the district, as
has already been announced, have
been able in two years’ operations
to build up a reserve of $232,726.86
and the farmer-members now own
$775,150 worth of Class B stock.”
Production credit associations,
Mr. Graham explained, make loans
to farmers for production purposes
and charge 5 per cent Interest but
the borrower only pays for the time
he actually has the money. The as
sociations are operated by the
farmers themselves through their
board of directors which the farm
er-members themselves elect.

Adjustment Payments
Under Crop Programs
Will Be Completed
Clemson, Feb. 17.—The first
steps have been taken by the Agri
cultural Adjustment Administra
tion looking toward payment, as
soon as possible, of obligations to
farmers growing out of the pro
duction adjustment programs un
der the Agricultural Adjustment
Act, according to notices received
by the Extension Service from
AAA headquarters in Washington.
This action followed the approval
by the President of HR 10464 which
provided $296,185,000 to make pay
ments to producers for performance'
in connection with the adjustment
programs. The appropriation and
authority for payment from Cop-
gress was necessary because of the
decision of the Supreme Court on
January 6 which declared the pro
duction control provisions uncon
stitutional.
“The work which must be done
before the payments can be made
began immediately after we were
notified that the President had
approved the measure carrying the
required funds”, Chester C. Davis,
administrator of the Agricultural
Adjustment Act, said. “Employees
in the field and producer groups
associated with the programs have
been notified to resume the task
of checking compliance and assem
bling other data needed to carry
out the direction of Congress.
“We will try to prevent delay in
fulfilling obligations and in reim
bursing those producers who car
ried out their agreements with the
Agricultural Adjustment Adminis
tration in good faith.”
“In South Carolina all necessary
forms and documents relative to
unpaid contracts have been for
warded to Washington except a few
currently coming back for correc
tion”, says R. W. Hamilton, assis
tant to the dirfector. “It is hoped
that parity payments for the eight
counties which had not received
these previous to January 6 will
be issued in a short time.”
