HEBREW FARM
SOCIETY MAKES
A GOOD REPORT
Loans Aggregating So, oOo, 900
Have Been Made BY 1t in
Fourteen Years.
tpY AssocIATEp PREsS1

CHICAGO, April 1S.-George w.
Simon, western representative of the
Jewish Agricultural and Industrial
Aid Society, this afternoon told the
second National Conference on Mar
keting AMI Farm credits of the work
of that organization.
During the fourteen years 1t has
been in existence, it has granted
in round numbers, 5000 loans, ag-
gregating ST., 900, 900. The loans
are made at four per cent interest,
on long term mortgages, running on
an average for ten years. The terms
of repayment abe based largely up
on the ability OF the farmer and the
earning capacity of the farm. The
character of the farmer is taken into
as much consideration as the real
estate security The proof of the
soundness of our experiment Is thaa'
in spite of the inferior security
which we accept, our losses during
the fourteen years, we're less than
two and one-half per cent, and the
repayments, thirty per cent the
payment to the society for the tlScal
wear ended December 81, li9 15'
amounted to $500, 091 OF on the
principal and $50, 2l92.17 in inter
est.
Our operations cover wider ter
Iritory than that of all the European
lIand-credit banks combined. 1t
proves that the rural credit system
is practical and may be adopted IN
every state of the Union The time
Of free land beng past, land Is now
good security, provided we nave
good farmers on it. I believe theI
land is worth as much as the man
who is on it, and we do have some
good men on our farms.
Our experience has shown that, after
receiving loans on second and third
MORTGAGES, on easy payments, our
farmers were still struggling against
irving difficulties. There arose in our
rural districts a new class of money
lenders, who gradually preyed upon
the farmers until they had them COM
pletely in their power. Sometimes
they are the local storekeepers, some
times "just neighbors." These money
lenders infest the body of our farmers
and sap all their energy and strength.
Manifold Benefits.
To free the Jewish farming COM
nunitIes from these parasites we de-
cided to organize among them CO.
operative agricultural associations, so
that the farmers could help one an
other.
The benefits derived by our farmers
from these rural credit systems are
manifold. Our Willingness to make
loans on second mortgages to our
farmers induced the local bankers TO
make them drat mortgages where

PRICE PRAISES
PENDING FARM
CREDITS BILL
University DeanSays Moss and
Fletcher Measures Are Fine
Pieces of Legislation.

CHICAGO, April 1S.-National
legislation to establish a uniform sys-
tenn of rural credits was favored by
Homer C.. Price, dean of Ohio State
University, today in an address before
the second National Conference on
Marketing and Farm Credits meeting
here in joint session with the Western
Economic Society. Mr.. Price assert
ted that the Moss and Fletcher rural
credits bill now before Congress was
the best thus far evolved He said
Features of the Bill.
1.-THE bill as a whole is "a fine piece
of constructive legislation. It pro-
vides for the establishing of either
joint stock company or cooperative
national farm land banks, leaving 1t
optional with the incorporators which
shall be organized.
'.It provides for the issuing of ma
tional bank bonds based on the farm
mortgages held as securities for
loans. The bill as recommended pro
vides that each bank shall issue It's
own bonds and the question may very
properly be raised as to whether 1T
would not be better to have one cen
trail farm land bank for each state
and have all bonds issued through
and by the central bank of the respec-
tive states.
1.-THE provision for. exemption of
the farm land bonds and all other
property of the banks except real es-
tate from taxation federal, state and
local is revolutionary Coupled with
this is the provision that the inter
est rate charged the farmers shall not
exceed one per centum the rate of in
terest paid on the bonds which are
secured by the farmers mortgage
IF this bill becomes a law its pas
sage will means the emancipation OF
the American farmer from extortion-
ate interest rates and commission on
farm loans. 1t will mean better things
for American agriculture and in
creased agricultural production"

otherwise such were not available. In
other words, we helped to discount the
personal qualities of the farmer, and
gave him a strong moral support.
Bankers Not Hurt.
Where we introduced our credit
unions the local banker was in no way
hurt, but on the contrary, he has
profted by it. Farmers who never
knew the significance of a bank ac-
count have learned its advantages.
and have increased the business of
the banks to great extent.
The most important step necessary
to further the movement of the agri-
cultural credit unions in this country
is the enactment of proper legisla-
ton in the different states SO as to
legaize their Incorporation. The bank
ing laws should also be remodeled so
as to allow these credit Unions to re-
ceive savings deposits. and we will
have developed a greater nation built

financing.
