BANKS STUDY FARM-LOAN FFT TIVENHSS Tung-p, i Jih-pao, 23 Mar 49
Chi-lin (Kirin) -- The Chaos-ho (Ueda: 10364, 6046) and I-t'ung (213,12000)
hsien branches of the Northeast Bank, after extending spring agricultural loans,
have been making investigations with a view to enforcing the purpose of the loans.
The following are some of the d1bolosuroe of the investigation:
Most of the locai authorities are seeing that the loans are being used to
buy work animals, fertilizer, etc. In one area in I-t'ung, 400 work animals
have been purchased, 80 percent of the lone i ceived having been used for this
purpose. Further purchases are contemplated.
In another area in Chao-ho Hsien the funds have been spent for fertilizer,
plows, and weeding machines.
Some cadres have been slow in organizing for purchasing. Consequently,
prices have risen and they are unable to buy. Some have wasted their funds by
scattering their purchases over grain, oil, salt, clothing etc. Others, having
bought animals and observing the Price rise, planned to sell them again.
On discovery of such activities the banks immediately notified the authori-
t`_ee to correct such erroneous practices, and tool- steps to make the people
underatantr-that the agricultural loan funds should be used only to increase
production.
SHORTAGE OF SR&EDING STOCK -- Tung-pei Jih-pao, 23 Mar 49
Ch'eng-te, 13 March 1949 -- There hag developed a great shortage of stud
animals in the territory of the joude League which is seriously interfering with
herd production. In some areas only 27 percent of the cows are being bred and
only a little over 50 percent of horses and asses.
A number of reasons for the shortage have been ascribed, the Principal
being: excessive castration of hulls; mieunderetandinF over the question of
ownership of stud animals, the erroneous information 'having been spread that
they_veie.to be coaom:nized;and peorpeafe &at fee(ing.of stud-?aw".ale, whtwa_
rehulted in u edepeoda)le fertility.
The authorities are attempting to correct this situation by prcm:oting the
development of good tre-ding stock, purchases from outside sources, forbidding
the butchering of breeding stock, and certification of ownership and establish-
ment of stud fees to encourage rearing and systematic improvement of stud
animals.
