THE BANK VVKiRE
EFFORT IS MADE TO
SAVE corn showers
Farmers anJ Bankers Ileet at Indi
apolis to Bevisa Means cf Pre
venting of Bankruptcy.
Indianapolis, Nov. 25. Farmer;;
and bankers of the corn belt met here
today in an effort to save corn grow
ers from bankruptcy.
The meeting was railed to do vis-?
some means of preventing severs I
hundred million bushels of corn on
farms of ten middle we-u-rn states
from being dumped on a bargain
counter market.
Governor Warren McCray who
called the meeting in his capacity as
chairman of the corn belt advisory
commltee of the warfinanee corpora
tion planned to obtain loans for the
farmers with the corn crop being
used as collateral.
Eugene Meyer, chairman of the
war finance corporation presented the
plan to the meeting suggesting hunk
ers take advantage of federal funds
made available for farm aid and to
loan this money to the farmers and
tide them over the period of tight
money. Members of the corn belt ad
visory committee were here.
The states sending delegates to the
confereTice were Illinois, Oiiio, Iowa.
Missouri, Kansas Nebraska, South
Dak'otas, Minnesota and Oklahoma.
Farmers and bankers from all parts
of Indiana' took part in the meeting.
Solution of the needs of farmers in
the corn belt for financial assistance
rests with loeal bankers and farmers
co-operating with the state commit
tees of the government's war finance
corporation, Eugene Meyer, Jr., man
aging director of the corporation, de
clared today in addressing a meeting
of Indiana farmers and bankers.
Unlimited government funds may
be made available for the creJIt of
the farmers, he said, while Governor
McCray of Indiana, chairman of the
corporation's advisory committee on
the needs of the corn belt farmers,
estimated a maximum of $200,000.
000 would be required t.) lmame
farmers in holding their surplus corn
on the farms for an orderly market
ing of this year's bumper crop.
The advisory committee directed
Governor McCray to call a meeting of
governors at Chicago Friday to ar
range for other state-wide gather
ings of bankers and farmers. States
where these meeting are planned in
clude Iowa, Nebraska and South Da
kota. Mr. Meyer declared there was no
delay In providing the government
funds to banks for the farm loans
after a bank had qualified thru the
'corporation's state committees as to
collateral and character. Advances
of $1,500,000 to $2,000,000 daily are
being made by the corporation, he
said.
Mr. Meyer emphasized that the
practice of the corporation permitted
banks to obtain the government mon ey
for one year or longer, which he
said would avoid problems arising
from sixty day or other short time
loans.
"One thing I want the bankers to
see," he said, "is that excessive in
terest rates are brought down for
the farmer. Eight and ten per cent
is too high."
