Arizona republican., 1914-04-10

Butterfield visited twelve countries and found the land well used in all of them. Roads were narrow and the land was titled right out to the edge. This makes much hand work. but the return is rich enough to war rant it. They raise thirty bushels of wheat to the acre where the American does well if he averages 15. and they only average twenty inches of rainfall there. Germany is smaller than Texas, has 60,0O0,OOO people and raises 95 per cent of the food stuff consumed there
 The greatest danger to American farming is the transient tenant He skins the land and moves on. Now. in Switzerland, 90 per cent of the farms are owned by the cultivator. in Germany S5 per cent, in Belgium 30 per cent. and these proportions are constantly growing
 The teachings of science are being applied, not because it is imperative. Competition in North and South America force the adoption of the theorists ideas.
 Methods of extending credits to the farmer are three in number
 By the land bank This loans money on long term pledges, issuing gilt edged bonds on the security of the land.
 Credit Society These arrange short term loans. mostly on personal security.
 Selling organizations. Futures in crop production are often the basis for loans. This system is similar to the one in vogue in America. where the credit is extended on the security of the crop.
