John C, Eaton, regional manager of the federal feed and seed loan section of the farm credit administration, Promised that the government would be lenient in its collection policy but was told this was not enough, that further provision would have to be made for financing the harvest. Pri- vate agencies will loan nothing, in many cases, because the government money back. U. 8. Exclusive Banker ernment’s regulations must be uni- form and that the farm credit admin- istration must treat all farmers alike, Judge Christianson pointed out that North Dakota has a unique situation. In this state only the federal agencies are permitted by law to take crop mortgages. Since crop mortgages are the only security many farmers can give the result is to make the federal agencies their exclusive banker. Because federal agencies operate under standard rules, they are unable to protect the investment they al- ready have in feed, seed and other loans by advancing more money for the harvest, as a local banker would do, unless action is taken immediately at Washington. It is there that the Much mention was made of the fact that the seed loan division made more than 40,000 loans last spring and it was to the plight of these farmers that the conference addressed itself. One estimate was that 10 to 15 per cent of the state's 75,000 farmers are having trouble in financing their har- vest but the general opinion was that the percentage was much larger, probably 25 per cent. Wheat Worth Cutting It was agreed that much of the @|wheat crop, though shriveled, is worth cutting and that in some cases both haying and harvest operations have been halted because farmers could not get twine, oll, gasoline and machine repairs. The has made no provision to finance this work and private lenders can do nothing because the government has prior claim on every grain of wheat and every pitchfork. : Bankers, ofl and machinery men and others said they are doing all BY: they can and are financing farmers whom they regard as good risks to the utmost extent of their ability but that they can do nothing for the oth- ers, the outer fringe of the farming community. This is the 10 to 25 per cent of the farm population with which the conference was most vital- ly_concerned. Frequent reference was made to the fact that help must be given them now or they will be forced on relief again next winter, “shoveling gravel at 20 degrees below zero.” Assertion was made that the government would do well to adopt this attitude and forget about any efforts to collect what is due it this year. Discuss Seed Needs Further argument centered about seed needs for next year. Shrunken and shriveled wheat must be planted unless better can be found, with the possibility that plants will be weak and peculiarly subject to disease. If the government forces farmers to sell their grain now, it was pointed out, many of them will have to market seed loans again to plant a crop in 1936. Another contention was that, if the government forces collection or they are required to finance the harvest by forced sales, many will market their feed crops, such as oats, with ruinous effect on the price. At the same time they will reduce their ability to get through the winter without help. For purposes of obtaining concrete suggestions after a long powwow in the afternoon, the conference was di- vided into groups for the purpose of making specific recommendations in 110] ‘The farmers, represented by H.
