J NEW FARM CREDIT
PLAN REGARDED AS
' METHOD OF FUTURE
k
’ The much-discussed new sys
tem of farm credits based on a
soil-conservation economy, spon-
• sored by Atlanta’s Trust Com
pany of Georgia, appears to be
gaining favor among agricultural
experts and bankers alike. While
this new system of farm financ
ing admittedly represents a
sharp break with the traditional
method of extending farm cred
its, it will, in the opinion of
-many, strengthen Georgia’s ag
ricultural position over a period
of years.
In fact, John A. Sibley, presi
dent of the Trust Company of
Georgia, which pioneered in
building up Georgia’s agriculture
under the late Robert Strick
land, in discussing the plan de
scribes it as “a new type of farm
credit based on soil-conservation
farming.” However, he says that
Georgia is now working into that
sort of a farm economy, and he 1
predicts that eventually the \
j bankers of Georgia will use soil
I conservation as the yardstick for
all farm credits. Bankers’ lack of
knowledge of this new type of
farm credit is the bottleneck
now for farm credits in Georgia,
he adds.
Farm credits, as Mr. Sibley in
terprets it, are those credits
’ which the banker extends to the I
| farmer to enable him to build
up his farm and to produce his |
crops. And under the new sys- ;
tem of farm economy which
I Georgia now is working into, he
Isays that the bankers can ex
, tend those credits to the farm
ers only if they give the right
answers to two questions:
1. What is the productivity of
your land? and (2) To what use
do you put that land? That, to
this banker’s way of thinking,
j means a continuous campaign to
■ build up land in order to in-
■ crease its productivity.
Pointing out that the per cap
ita farm incomb In Georgia in
I 1945 was less than SSOO as against
a national average of little less
than $1,000; Mr. Sibley asked the
question: Are we willing to con
tinue that? Then he explained
the new system of farm economy,
designed to correct that situa-i
tion in Georgia. Said he:
“The most important business
in our state is agriculture. In
i Georgia, one-third of the people
[derive their livelihood from the
I farm. Almost two-thirds live in
rural communities; that is com
munities of 2,500 or less. In the
nation, only 20 per cent of the
population get their livelihood 1
i from the farm. The mere state-

THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS: SUMMERVILLE, GA.
ment of these facts makes quite
obvious the importance to Geor
gia of a prosperous agriculture
and the far-reaching disaster to
the state when the farm is de
pressed.
“The new type of farm credit
based on soil conservation econ
omy will do much to create the
new wealth that Georgia must
have to provide tax revenues for
I the educational system and the
social services the state ought to
have. And the satisfactory solu
'tion to those problems will do
I much to create a situation in
which other problems in Georgia
largely will solve themselves.
Soil conservation, the movement
to increase the productivity of
our lands, is the biggest thing in
Georgia. And the banks must
adjust their concept of farm
credits to help that movement.”
