S. Fruin. Agri. Field Representative, FFirst Security Bank of Utah Bankers Association as Box Elder Counlv Kev Banker twelfth Quoting from the annual study of farm lending by the Agricultural Commission of the American Bankers Association. Mr. Fruin noted that on January 1, 1953, Utah banks had loans totaling $37,199 00O and outstanding to farmers ranchers, compared with $28, 344 000 held by all other principal lending agencies combined. "As they have in the past, the State's farmers and stockmen continued last year to turn mostly to their banks when they needed credit," Fruin said. "The amount of credit the farmer needs to run a successful operation is much larger today than it was in past decades," he continued. "Agriculture is now a mechanized, highly competitive enterprise; and operating a profitable farm or ranch involves a much greater investment in machinery and modern agricultural methods. Hence, adequate funds are a prime concern to the farm operator. Meeting his needs for operating credit is one of the most important services of Utah banks." The banks have been encouraging farmers and ranchers to modernize and improve their present acerage rather than buy additional land during this period of high prices; and the bulk of the bank loans outstanding at the beginning of this year were production loans, not real estate loans. These production loans comprise credit extended to finance the growing and marketing of crops; breeding, raising, and fattening of livestock; purchasing of equipment; etc. Banks held $29,274 000 of these production loans at the beginning of 1953. compared with $7, held by Production 442,000 Credit Associations, and S3. 231, to Farmers Borrowed 000 held by the Farmers Home Administration. The remaining $7,925,000 in farm loans outstanding in banks on January 1 was made up of farm and ranch mortgages. There was $5,686,000 in farm mortgage loans held by insur- a nee companies on the same date. $7,233,000 by the Federal Land Banks, and $4,297000 by the Farmers Home Administrat- Funeral services for Mrs. Jaoobine Christians Nielsen, 83 who died last week, were conducted Friday nftenioon in the Howell w; rd chapel by James N.Sf "f thf bish,oPr,M wncrc i wuiKeu Jesus Walked", was sung by Eunice Ravsten as the first song.
