several liability OF the association
Improved personal credit and the
securing OF loans at less than the
prevailing rate in interest have been
the result of three financial plans car
ried out by farmers OF the country as
outlined In new publication OF the de-
partment Of agriculture
The first OF these plans has worked
out in certain localities in North Da-
kota so well that the farmer has been
able To borrow money on his personal
note at per cent at time when the
usual rare in his vicinity varied from
10 to y per cent To secure this re-
duction in interest the farmer agreed
that the bankers should buy the dairy
stock for which he wishes the loan
and sell II to him at actual cost. The
purchase in number OF cases was
conducted with the advice Of State or
Federal Dairy Specialists. The men
who furnished the money were thus in
n position to make certain that II was
used for productive improvements
which, wonld4aaenahle the borrower
repay the loan. Under this plan. In
fact. the farmer may be said to have
borrowed the improvement itself in
stead OF the money TO buy II with. for
the disposition of the money Was tA-
ken out IS Nh hADA.

members. With this additional secur-
ity the bank agreed to advance $1,000
ITO the association at per cent, when
the general bank rate was 10 and II
per cent.
Two delegates from the association
purchased with the money two car
loads of heifers which were distribute
ed among the members, each animal
being charged with 4 proportionats
share for all the incidental expenses
connected with the transaction. Each
purchaser pledged himself to care for
and breed the cattle by methods ap.
proved by the trustees.
In the third plan the guarantee is
furnished. not by the farmers them-
selves but by an outside interest. As
the plan was developed In Wisconsin
and Minnesota. this outside interest
consisted of local business men who
were In their way as much concerned
as the farmers with the general i'm
provement OF agricultural conditions
in their regions. Under this plan the
business men. subscribed. A. certain
percentage OF the funds loaned with
the understanding that this was to
constitute q guarantee fund to pro-
tect the bankers. Otherwise the
plan was in IT. esssntial principles like
that adopts4 = Nontana-

Plan of the same general character
was carried out year or two ago in
Southern Idaho. but in this case three
or four banks united In the pur-
chase of carload OF dairy stock.
In another case in Nevada To-
cal creamery supplied the money and
held back a part of the returns from
