have fewer and inferior tools All this
is natural. for he has little or no secu-
rity TO give except his labor. and the
proceeds of that are practically mort
gagged for years to como in payment
for the land. Besides. in interest on
the purchase price, the farmer pays
each year what amounts to fair rent.
Is it any wonder that the poor farmer.
between the high credit prices on the
one hand and the interest on the other,
finds it hard to reduce the principal |?
But the land speculator gives him
time. for his security is growing each
year as the farmer clears and improves
his place. In good crop years the in
debtedness is reduced. but in bad crop
years the store account is not fully paid
up. and so the farmer gives the store
keeper second mortgage on the land.
The storekeepcr IS finally forced to take
up the first mortgage, and. finding that
too large share of his capital is being
taken away from active business, he
forces the farmer to borrow elsewhere.
The farmer goes to a mortgage COM
pany and borrows on long time. but
unless extremely fortunate hc never
pays up. But the company does not
care much about the principal 80 It
is secured. and the farmer goes on from
year to year paying an interest that
would amount to good rent and
though he thinks of himself as a land
owner, he really is tenant and some
