Agricultural Co operation as

Merchants Near Florence Are Still the

Florence, 1taly.-At the beginning
of its investigation of cooperative
banking societies the American COM
mission on agricultural cooperation,
assembled by the Southern CONNER
cial congress, had the advantageous
experience of first visiting a part Of
Europe where cooperative banks had
not made much Roadway.
Agricultural cooperation is prac-
ticed In only one form in the country
about Florence-societies for the pur-
chase of agricultural machinery fer
tilizer, seeds, etc. This is chiefly due
to the fact that in the early days the
merchants of Florence were the land
owners, and their estates were farmed
on a share basis by the peasants.
If crops were bad the landlord fur
nished food for the peasant farmer
until the next harvest. This system
of land tenure still prevails, and study

Every so often the bandeau rises i'm

ANCIENT FARM PLAN

gives mortgage to a bank and re
ceiVes in return an open account for
certain amount OF credit Thus a
farmer who considers that he needs
a credit Of $4,000 to operate his farm
gives mortgage for that amount to
the bank. AS he needs the money
he draws on the bank. He pays in
terest only on the amount on which he
borrows.
For the longtime loans Of the farm
ers the savings banks are allowed to
invest up to 30 per cent. of their de-
posits in farm mortgages. These mort
cages are OF two classes-for periods
up to ten years and for periods of
from 10 to 80 years.
The shorter-term mortgage loans are
repaid by the borrowers in one lump
sum, as in the United States, but
the longer-term loans are repaid by
amortization-that is, small annual
payments made upon the principal of
the loan. The banks are only per
mitted to charge borrowers one-half
per cent. more than they are required
to pay depositors. At the present
time the prevalent rate is FIVE per
cent, though generally it is four per
cent. Money is only loaned up to so
per cent. Of the appraised value OF
the land.
There is also mortgage bank in
Florence, the Monte di Paschi, found
ed by one Of the early dukes of Flor
ence. This bank issues mortgage de
bentures at three and one-half, four
and one-half and five per cent Most
of the debentures now outstanding
are at five per cent They sell 9
trihe under par which is the usual
condition in Italy, and their market
price compares favorably with gov
eminent bonds.
The cooperative societies for pur
chase among the land owners have
been successful. The farmers them
selves do not belong to these socie
ties, but the landowners do all pur
