WHERE THEY GO

W that comes TO the Home

is not possible to deal editor
tally with every letter received.
An occasional one is of such
general interest that we feel 1t
fitting to answer it in these col
umns.
We feel that the query of a
reader who says: THE agrieul-
tural college graduate-where
does he go-to the farm or into
business ?" is of this class.
Lacking figures from the
State College at Pullman, which
we should have preferred to
present, we have learned some

final payment will be almost
wholly to principal. just as the
first was almost wholly to in
terest.
In this way one-half of one
per cent will be sufficient to re-
pay the principal in 81 years,
provided a constant payment is
maintained on the interest for
principal for the entire period.
At first glance it would of
course, appear that 200 years
would be necessary for the pay
ment of the principal at this
one-half of one per cent basis.
But the whole crux lies in the
fact that as each one-half of
one per cent goes to the repay
ment of principal, the interest
is that much reduced, and, ac-
cordingly, a bigger proportion
of the next payment is available
for amortization.
Farm loans is subject that
will be much to the fore in the
next few months. 1t is to be
handled in the present session
of congress. 1t is our intention
to reduce the isues down to the
simplest basic principles.
We want our readers to I'M
derstand thoroughly the idea
and the issues involved. We
suggest, therefore. that if the
foregoing example is not abb
solutely plain, pencil and
paper be pulled out of drawer
and the example given worked
out for few years, when it will
be seen at once how very sim
lie and ridiculously apparent the
whole matter is.

THEIR VIEWS

q ONE time ago Senator Met
- calf and DIR. Clark G.
Black, Washington's represent
tatives on the American Rural
Credits Commission that toured
Europe, held a conference with
Governor Lister and Agricul-
tural Commissioner Perkins.
Whatever is done here in
the way of establishing rural,
credit associations, modelled af-
ter those in Europe, must be
done by the farmers them
selves the conference an
nounced. They added that the
farmer was too Independent to
accept government aid.
We shall be glad to have the
views of farmer friends on the
afore-told opinion.
For our part, we incline to
the belief that the farmer is

ence to prevent him from i'm

FARM RATES OF INTEREST

70 ECENTLY the department
IN of agriculture investi-
gated interest rates paid by
farmers all over the country.
1t was found, through state
ments made by several thou
sand banks in answer to ques-
tons, that on all loans to farm
ers, secured and unsecured, the
average rates run from a trifle
under per cent in most of New
England, New York, Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey up to
1857 per cent in Oklahoma,
1857 in New Mexico, 1915 in
Arizona, 1913 in Montana,
1910 in North Dakota, 9.97 in
Texas, 9.48 in South Dakota.
9.98 in Georgia. $50 in Flori-
da, 6.23 in Ohio. SAT in Indi-
ana. 6.31 in Illinois, 6.sS in
Michigan, ga in Wisconsin,
7.93 in Minnesota, 7.21 in Iowa,
7.28 in Missouri, 6.S6 in Ken
lucky, S.28 in Tennessee, S.26
in Mississippi, s.3S in Louisiana,
9.67 in Arkansas, 9.37 in Wy
oming, 9.24 in Colorado, 8.61
in Utah, 9.03 in Nevada, 9.92
in Idaho, 500 in Washington,
1872 in Oregon and 7.44 in Cal
ifornia.
Broadly, banks accommodate
their interest rates with refer
ence to the average balance the
borrower may be expected to
carry in the bank. A business
man borrows $4,000 for 80
days. It's experience with that
man justifies the bank in ex-
pecting that his daily balances
throughout that 90-day period
will average $4,000; therefore
it shades the rate of interest to
him. But farmer borrowing
money is likely to take the en-
tire amount away in his wallet,
and to maintain mighty I'M
important balance during the
period the loan has to run; then
he will sell bunch of hogs, cat
tie or a bin of wheat, and with
the proceeds pay the loan. Be-
cause of such conditions, the
farmer must of necessity pay
higher rates for his money be-
cause, it might be said, he uses
it harder.

IN NATURES CoLoRs

NOV that laws against col
IN oring butter are being rig
orously enforced. it is worth
while to consider what will
help to color butter without the
addition of coloring agents.
For, it is a fact that cannot be
gainsaid, the consumer has a
weakness for yellow butter.
First of all, it might be point
ed out that yellow butter came
from the Channel Islands, off
the coast of France. On two
sister islands there were bred
two breeds of cattle much akin,
which took their titles from the
names of the islands, Guern-
say and Jersey.
But even Guernsey and Jer-
sey breeders are now worried
as to how to keep up the color,
since both breeds are in an
adopted country.
AS a matter of simple fact;
What colors butter is light.
The reason that butter remains
yellow in Guernsey and Jersey
is that cattle are grazed out-of-
doors all the year around, and
are never confined in a dark
stable; or if so. for but rare
and infrequent intervals.
The yellow pigment in the
COW herself is an added cause.
If she has this yellow pigment
the milk will show it to a
greater or lesser degree.
The greenness of the food
consumed is yet another factor.
In winter the COW consumes
food the color of which is
bleached out. In summer the
grass is of the deepest green.
But more important than all
is the subject of light. The sun
is the source of all color. In
summer all cows show more
color in their milk than in win
ter, for the reason, partially,
that they are exposed to more
sunlight in summer than in
winter.
So, all in all, the inference is
easy:
If you would have cows CIV
ing yellow milk for yellow but
ter, keep them in thoroughly
well-lighted barn and feed them
green forage.
In London the butchers re-
quire that all veals shall be fat
tened in the dark in order that
their tallow shall be white.
Many farmer has bleached
out his cows in the same man
ner, by keeping them in dark
stable.

AUTO ARTICLES

6r HE Home and Farm Maya
u zine Section desires to draw
especial attention at this time to
the special articles in the depart
ment of automobiles and roads.
Mr.. Sargent, of course, has a
Nationwide reputation and his
articles help to make a depart
ment of value to our readers.
AS was noted last week, this
section is presenting some infor-
nation for the farmer along the
line of the auto and the farm. No
statement is exaggerated; none
insincere or untruthful. This
section desires simply to acquaint
the farmer with what is being ac-
complished by other men, that
he in turn may consider their
wisdom and see where it holds
therein anything for him.

THE FARMER-LAWMAKER

has not been given an opportni-
ty to inspect the measure, this
section will not express an
opinion pro or con bill be-
fore congress, of which E. H.
Rettig, farmer of Opportunity,
Wash, is the author.
This measure is devised to-
duce cooperation among farm
ers instead of competition, to
the end that the farmer may
receive the whole of the con-
sumer's dollar for his product
instead of 80 to 40 per cent, as
is now the case.
Senator Borah introduced the
measure to create an "Agricul-
tural capital or clearing house
to be run by farmers under a
government charter or subsidy.
The bill would furnish the ma
chinery for scientific marketing

products under the direction of
a countrywide organization of
producers. The senator ex-
planned that he had not written

tie, clearing his lards, putting

ments-all of which he would
be able to achieve with farm
loans.

letters of our friends.

LONG TIME LOANS

any system of farm loans in ex-
istence?"
There is. It would be pos
sible to answer our querist thus
and so, but the Home and Farm
Magazine Section has been at
some pains to obtain informa-
tion regarding this much-moot-
ed subject; and it is our inten-
tion to present this matter in
cogent form in early editions of
the Section.
On the continent of Europe
farm loans have been under
way for number of years. 1t
will be remembered that less
than year ago an American
commission began tour of in
vestigation.
1t is to be feared greatly that
the time of the commissioners
was SO taken up with cementing
the Anglo-Amercan, Franco
American and Italo-American,
entente cordiales by a steady
succession of banquets that the
commissioners b m e ves
hardly had time to absorb the
Information of which they were
in quest.
Yet were there men among
them who pursued the tenor of
a steady search for information.
1t was learned, for example,
that the standard of duration of
a long term loan in Europe is
81 years. At present the rate
of 4.85 per cent interest is being
charged here; a rate, it is to be
admitted, slightly in excecc of
that obtained for call" money,
and short term loans, yet, on
the other hand, less than the
prevailing rate for mortgages
and similar class of loan.
For such a loan at the pres
ent time this ASS per cent in
terest is divided thus:
Interest A per cent.
Administration .35 per cent.
Amortization payment of
principally so per cent.
In other words, this rate of
ASS per cent not only pays in
terest on the loan but auto
matically provides for the re-
payment of the principal in 81
years.
1t would seem impossible.
Yet is not so. 1t is b s
simply on the fact that though
the yearly payment remains the
same, the charge of admins
tration and interest are de-
creasing constantly, because
they are both computed on the
sum which is constantly being
repaid; therefore the proper
tion which is being supplied to
the principal annually is in pro-
portionate increase to the 80
per cent which, apparently, is
all that is going to the repay
ment of principal, or to use the
term in vogue, amortization.
Let us give a concrete Illus
tration
Let us assume that a farmer
borrows 5 900 on MS properly
on the farm loan basis. On the
mortgage plan he would pay at
least five, possibly six per cent,
and after any number of years
he would be as far from the re-
payment of the principal as at
the first year.
But on the farm loan basis,
as it holds forth in Europe, and
which in some modified form is
almost certain to be introduced
into this country, the debtor
would pay $3.50 annually, or
in semi-annual payment, as is
the custom, s24.25.
OF this first six-months' pay
ment, $40 woul go for inter-
est, s1.75 belongs to the bank
for administration expenses
and $3.50 is applied to the re-
payment of the principal.
But consider the change
when the debt is half discharg-
ed. Then the semi-annual pay
ment-s24.25-will be the
same but its apportionment
will be different and but $40
will go for interest. but SS
cents for administration, leay-
