Musselman rep- sents the Pennsylvania Bank- ers Association as Lancaster County Agricultural Repre- sentative. During 1966, the banks maintained their leadership in agricultural credit servic- es. Based on the 26th annual farm lending summary of the Agricultural Committee of The American Bankers Asso- ciation, Musselman reported that at the beginning of the year, Pennsylvania banks were helping farmers with $283 million in loans, 5 per cent more than a year previ- ous. This total included $143 million in production loans and $140 million in farm mortgages. At the same time, $15 million in farm loans was held by life insurance $50 million by the Federal Land Banks; $47 million by Production Credit Associations; and $12 milion in nonreal estate loans, plus $5 million in real estate loans by the Farmers Home Administration. About 71% of the production credit ex- tended by lending institutions to Pennsylvania farmers came from banks. Musselman added that the “bankers in Pennsylvania are conscious of the large capital investments required in agriculture today and are making a concerted effort through improved lending programs to meet these changing ‘credit demands of the state’s farmers.” The increased use of cred- it by farmers, according to the banker, has been accom- panied by a substantial gain in the total assets of farm families. Therefore, in the aggregate, the equity position of farmers, contrary to pub- lic opinion, is being main- tained at a satisfactory level. Nationally, farm families have $228 billion of their own funds invested in agri- culture. This represents 83 percent of the total capital requirements of farmers. Musselman stressed the importance of farmers and bankers working closely to- \ PAGE FIVE Attend Athletic Medico Meeting Robert L. Buchenauer, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Buch- enauer, 131 N.

Talking on “State and Re- gional’ Planning,” he review- ed the history of the plan- ning, activities of the state, which began in 1934, ex- plained the organization of the program and told about some of the board’s functions. The first function of the board is to form a state de- velopment plan, he said. Much of the work-is to com- pile information for use in predicting coming trends in fields in which the state is interested and in helping to bring assistance in meeting the problems. He was introduced by Dr. Robert F. Eshleman, vice- president and program chair- man. gether to improve farm fin- ancial arrangements.
