RURAL CREDIT LAW
MAKES MONEY ] CHEAP
High Interest Agencies Rush to
Reduce Rate to Farmers.
BIGGER LOANS AT LESS COST

Effect of New Administration Act
Strongly Felt, Although Law Is Not
Yet la Operation-Will Reduce In
terest on Land Loans to Less Than
Per Cent.
The effect of the new rural credit
law, passed by the Democratic Ad-
ministration, already is being felt in
lower interest rates, although the land
banks have not yet been organized.
Testimony to this effect is being given
at the hearings held by the Federal
Farm Loan Board in various western
cities. .>
At the hearings in Nebraska, numer-
Gus farmers stated that interest rates
in the demonstrating section of that
State already have been reduced from
one to two per cent. by the prospective
competition of the thirty to forty-year
loans that the land banks soon will be
making.
The average loan that an insurance
company or other agency would make
on 64O-acre Kinkaid claim was ST.
600. The commission deducted from
this left the farmer $3.50. He paid in
terest at from to 10 per cent for five
years on $1,000, making his average
net interest rate from IL to IL per
cent.
This now is stopped by the coming
competition of the new rural credit
law. Loan agents are rushing into
Nebraska to make five-year loans at
lower rates, to forestall the operation
of the new law.
The farmers Of the West. who have
suffered exorbitant interest rates for
years, are not worrying about the
banks. Their testimony before the
Farm Loan Board showed that they
are enthusiastic over the new law, and
ready to help put it in successful oper-
alton.
The new farm loan act provides
means by which farmers can form CO.
operative or joint stock associations,
and borrow from the regional Federal
Farm Loan Bank on the security OF
their land. Ten farmers can form one
Of these associations. They can bor-
row up to 80 per cent. of the value Of
their land, for period running up to
forty years.
The loan is repayable in small an
nual instruments, or can be paid in full
at any time. The estimated interest
rate is 5 per cent. The farmer who
b. rrows will share in the profits of the
business, thereby reducing his interest
rate to still lower figure.
The Democratic National Committee
has issued from its headquarters, at
No 30 East Forty second ;treet. New
York, a pamphlet for free distribution,
fully explaining the rural credits law.
1t may be obtained from your Demo-
cratic State or County Committee.
