Dixon has announced that he has allocated $25 million in state funds for deposit in int­ erest-bearing time accounts with downstate Illinois banks that agree to make loans to farmers hard hit by the season's disastrous crop harvest. The harvest failure program, Treasurer Dixon said, will enable banks to assist in­ dividual farmers who have' been unable to harvest all of their crops because of heavy rainfalls. The wet fields made work impossible and current, near-freezing temperatures have taken a toll of corn and soybeans still unharvested. For many farmers, Treasurer Dixon pointed out, "installment loan payments are due now on farm equipment and they must borrow money to meet the payments. The problem is that funds simply are not available to meet these demands." Dixon emphasized that his program involves no outlay of state funds, but will aid far­ mers by a simple shift in in­ vestments. All funds held by The student teacher ob­ serves, takes part in actual instruction of the students, and participates in a weekly seminar devoted to discussion and appraisal of the teaching experience, with their Ripon college instructor.
