Corn Credit Corp. 



: Now Making Loans 



Manager Laird Cautions Applicants 



To File Properly and Avoid 



Delays 



APPLICATIONS for loans totaling 

 more than $20,000 on cribbed 

 corn in Illinois were received by the 

 National Corn Credit Corporation at 

 Chicago November 30, reports Harry 

 Laird, manager. 



This represents receipts over the 

 week-end and is, therefore, heavier than 

 the average daily run, he explained. 

 Forty-eight applications had been re- 

 ceived, and about one-fourth of these 

 had been paid up to December 1, Mr. 

 Laird said. ■ -, ■ • ■ , _ ■ ■ .' :; ■.. ■ ■; ,,,. '; ;;.: ; 



The first loan was made to a LaSalle 

 county farmer on November 2 5 . Among 

 other counties, which have sent in appli- 

 cations, are Champaign, Shelby, Ken- 

 dall, McLean, Henry, and DeKalb. 



Mr. Laird explained that faulty appli- 

 cations were causing a great deal of de- 

 lay on loans. 



Common Errors 



The most common errors, he said, 

 were the omission of crib measurements 

 by the sealers in filling out the ware- 

 house certificates, and the failure of the 

 applicant to assign the certificate to the 

 National Corn Credit Corporation. One 

 or two applicants have applied for 

 amounts in excess of the maximum, 

 which is 20 cents a bushel. In these 

 cases it has been necessary to have new 

 applications prepared. 



The loans continue to be confined to 

 Illinois. Iowa, the only other state pos- 

 sessing a warehouse storage law as re- 

 quired by the Corn Credit Corporation, 

 now has its machinery in working or- 

 der, Mr. Laird said. He expects to re- 

 ceive Iowa applications within the next 

 few days. 



Insurance Available ~ 

 The applicant will not be required to 

 insure sealed grain as was required at 

 the outset, it was decided by officials of
