The film is encouraging people to go into the farm- ing profession, and it shows them how to buy farm equipment through borrowing money from government supervised loan associations." Rob- ert A. Sencer "Designed to show how the Production Credit Ass'n. was organized and the manner in which it operates. We are shown how the farmer of today must utilize the new improve- ments and inventions in order to compete in this highly specialized world. In order to do this many farmers must rely on loans which they obtain from the Production Credit Ass'n. A very well organized film. Should be useful to classes in economics and to county farm ad- visors."
