Same as Land Loan Banks.
We still hear from the politicians
about the land loan banks Of Europe,
and about the benefits they have
been to the farmers OF Europe. The
subject Of co-operative farmers banks
has been under discussion for the
last twenty years or more.
1t has often been pointed out that
the cooperative farmers banks, or
land loan banks OF Europe, are moth
ing more than our building and loan
associations, with the payments
ada pied go as to make them agree
with the marketing Of the crops
The building and loan associations
for mechanics and clerks for this
country are identicaliy the same
thing as the European land loan
banks. Our building and loans are
patronized mostly by mechanics,
clerks and small merchants The
land loan banks of Europe are pa
tronixed by the farmers. Our building
and loan associations are used for saw
ing money and building homes. The
land loan banks are used for saving
money and buying and improving
farms
There 10 absolutely no legislation
necessary to start one of these insti-
buttons. Fifty farmers in the country
can organize any time, and without
any further law than a clerk Of the
court charter. They can either have
a secretary and treasurer Of their own,
or they can get some banking In

for them and handle their money for
them. The members OF these socie-
