THE FARM LAND
 BANK MOVEMENT

The effort to start farm land banks and societies for Ioaning money on farmlands is meeting with some sue cess, It is xgeneraTly admitted that young men who would like to buy farms often encounter considerable difficulty in getting money from exist ing agencies.
 This is partly because farm loans need to be watched very carefully. It is commonly possible to allow the value of the security to depreciate un- less the land and implements are kept up.
 The average city bank is not anxious for this class of security. It is out side their regular line, and they are little afraid of it. Consequently a good many men who would be worthy of credit fail to get it.
 If it could come about that. the farmers of a district should invest savings in such an institution, they would furnish great safeguard against depreciation of the security i. It would be for their interest to re- port to headquarters if a property was not being kept up. They could af- ford to~1oan more on a farm right under their eyes than ca pita lists To- cated at distancef would feel like letting out on it.
