NO SUCH LEGISLATION YET

Many letters received at the de-
partment's offices in Washington in
dictate widespread belief that the
last Congress passed legislation es-
tablishing system of rural credits
under which the federal govern
ment advances money directly to
farmers. No such legislation and
no such system is in operation. What
the congress did was to constitute
joint committee of the senate and
the house Of representatives to
draw up "a bill or bills providing
for the establishment of a system of
rural credits adapted to American
needs and conditions" the committee
is to report January 1, 1916.
The committee will have at its
disposal the information collected in
the course of two years study by
the department of the problems of
rural organization. In 1913 commits
Ion was sent abroad to investigate
European methods of advancing
money for agricultural improvement;
at the same time it was realized that
70 make this investigation fruitful.

this work In June, 1913. in co-opera-
tion with .ertaln educational associa-

The Department began by collect
ing information on the prevailing
rates Of interest on farm loans in
different sections of the country, the
reasons for the variations, and the
sources from which the loans were
obtained, such as banks, insurance
companies, building and loan asso-
Citations, mortgage companies, etc.
Not only mortgages, but short time
loans as well were considered and
the effects of state legislation gone
into.
In December, 1918, the informa-
ton already collected was laid be-
fore the committees of Congress in
a series of hearings, but no rural
credits legislation was enacted, either
then or in the session which closed
on March 4, 1915. In the meantime,
however, the department took up
the question of cooperative credit as
sociations, and other forms of organt
cation for credit Improvement and
has given active field assistance
along these lines. The department
has also rendered assistance to a
number of states in the matter OF
rural credits legislation. At the pre-
