Second Annual Farm and Ranch Credit School
Announced by Texas A. & M. College
December 7th to 10th are the dates set for
the Second Annual Texas Farm and Ranch
Credit School for Commercial Bankers. Dean
Chas. N. Shepardson of Texas A. & M. Col­
lege states that the school will follow the
same general plans as the sessions last year.
Ample time will be allowed for discussion,
and emphasis will be on the practical aspects
of farm and ranch credit.
“Classes” will be held in the modernistic
Memorial Student Center on the campus of
Texas A. 8b M. College at College Station,
Texas. Most of the “students” will have rooms
there, although some will be housed in near­
by motels, tourist courts, and hotels. Meals
are available in the Student Center’s snack
bar and coffee shop.
The purpose of the school, according to
Dean Shepardson, is to bring to the bankers
of the State a better understanding of the
requirements for the successful operation of
modern farm enterprises and an appreciation
of their credit requirements, together with
suggestions for sound loan procedures in
meeting these needs.
Bankers attending last year’s school were
enthusiastic about the program and expressed
a keen interest in having it as an annual
event. The down-to-earth discussions of prac­
tical credit problems were particularly valu­
able. In addition, the new ideas presented by
members of the staff of Texas A. 8b M. on the
technical phases of agriculture were helpful
in bringing the “students” up-to-date on new

developments in crop and livestock produc­
tion.
In an effort to keep the courses in line with
bankers’ interests, Dean Shepardson asked
some of last year’s students to send in ques­
tions they would like to have covered. These
questions were turned over to staff members
at Texas A. 8b M. and will be the basis of
their talks to the bankers.
A special feature of this year’s school will
be two “agricultural quizzes,” which will test
the students’ knowledge of agriculture and
add interest to the program. Also, time has
been set aside for a tour of the college, so
that everyone will have an opportunity to
see the work being done at this outstanding
institution of research and education.
Bankers again will play a leading role in
the program of the school, discussing such
topics as “Financing the Young Farmer,”
“How Our Bank Evaluates Farm and Ranch
Management,” and “Correspondent Banking
in Regard to Farm and Ranch Loans.” All
topics on the two and one-half day schedule
will be pointed to the banker’s interest in an
effort to provide information that will enable
him to meet the problems of his bank more
effectively.
A list of those who had registered prior to
November 6 is shown on page 4 of this pub­
lication. Bankers who intend to register are
urged to send in their reservations imme­
diately. The enclosed registration form may
be used.
