5 per cent goes to their reserve fund and
is used eventually for repaying their loans
from the Bank Of France. In addition to
their primary work of serving the local
cooperative banks, the regional banks
are authorized by law to make loans to
cooperative producing and selling So
cieties, and to individual farmers for ac-
curing and improving small holdings.
These activities are financed by the Bank
of France for them.
Another source Of cheap money for the
French farmer is the Credit Foncier. a
financial institution organized in France
in 1852. Incorporating, in the main. the
best principles Of the German iand mort
gage banks. 1t enjoys rights under the
French laws that are possessed by no
other institution. It is centralized in
stitution rather than a decentralized sys-
tenn. yet 1t has produced splendid results
in financing French farmers and other
landholders The government has meas
urable control over 1t through the ap-
pointment of it's principal officers. The
confidence it has been able to inspire has
made it the financial agent in bringing
borrower and lender together in one-third
of the land mortgage business of the
French republic.
The bonds Of the Credit Foncier are
payable to bearer, and the claim OF a
third party to them cannot be made eX-
cept upon the allegation of loss or theft.
The Credit Foncier may receive deposits

the treasury and the remainder to be in
vested in gilt-edged securities, prefer
ably government bonds. While its activ-
tiles are especially in the direction Of ex-
plotting long-term mortgage business 1t
also does a short-term credit business
of large proportions. On long-term loans
the period is from ten 10 seventy-five
years The annuities are small, and per-
init the borrower to wipe out the prin-
cipal without feeling it; consequently the
system of amortization has become very
popular in France.

system and that of the Credit Foncier.

The French farmer pays 1t all back on the
