FarmBr-BorrowBrs Taka
Step Toward Ownership
According to information receiv-
ed from T. N. Foater, of Clifton.
Bosque County representative of
the Waco Production Credit Asso-
ciation, the 498 production credit
associations of the United States
and Puerto Rico have recently be*
gun a systematic plan qf buying
their banks of discount, the 12
Federal Intermediate Credit Banks,
These banks, until now owned
and capitalized by the Federal Gov-
ernment. are the means of bring-
ing loanable funds from the money
market to the production credit
associations, so that local farmers
and ranchers may have access to
ample credit at reasonable rates.
The 36 Texas associations, compris-
ing the Tenth Farm Credit District,
are served by the Federal Inter-
mediate Credit Bank of Houston.
Ever since 1949, when the Texas
associations completed acquiring
ownership of their local institu-
tions, it has been their ambition
to own their bank of discount. In
1956, at the instance of the asso-
ciations, Congress passed an act
merging the Federal Intermediate
Credit Banks and the Production
Credit Corporations of each Farm
Credit District and providing for
the gradual purchase of the merged
institutions by the local production
credit associations of their respec-
tive districts.
The Waco Production Credit As-
sociation, which serves Bosque
County as well as Coryell, Bell,
Falls, and McLennan Counties, has
just subscribed to $26,175.00 of the
capital stock of the Houston bank,
and each of the other Texas asso-
ciations has made proportional in-
vestments. The subscriptions are
payable in three installments at
one-year intervals. The associa
tions’ investment is expected to
grow as dividends are paid out of
the bank's earnings in the form of
stock. With each issue of stock to
the associations, an equal amount
of the Government’s stock will be
retired. By this process the entire
Federal investment in the 12 Fed-
eral Intermediate Credit Banks will
eventually be retired and the pro-
duction credit associations will be-
come the owners while the Govern-
ment will get out of the credit busi-
ness to that extent. When this pro-
cess has been completed, the basic
idea of the Production Credit Sys-
tem, farmer-ownership from top to
bottom, will be an accomplished
fact. Farmer ownership and control
are considered necessary to ipake
certain that the farmers will always
have their own system of credit
and that it will always be admin-
istered for their beat interests.
At the end of 1956 the Waco as
sociation finds itself in a strong
position, point out Mr Foster and
J. W. Shipp, of Walnut Springs,
Bosque County member of the
board of directors, who state that
capital, surplus, and special re
serves total over $420,000.00 and
loan volume in 1956 exceeded $2,
607,000.00. This large sum of money
was borrowed by some 600 of the
association's 1,100 members and
was all spent in the five-county
area to the benefit of local busi-
nesses.
Other'directors of the Waco Pro
duction Credit Association are A.
E. Lamar, of Bell County, W. D.
Walker, of Falls County, Jeff Buck
ner, of Coryell County, and Alton
A. Stevens, of McLennan County.
