Agricultural Credits
in British Columbia

The agricultural credits act, passed
by the British Columbia legislature
last year and which became effective
April 26, 1916, appears to be very
desirable law, much more equitable
and practical, in fact, than many Of
the rural credit proposals Of "agita-
tors" on this side of the line.
The principal features of the act
may be summarized as follows:
The act authorizes the commission
to borrow up to $15,O0o,O0O, as and
when the sum is required, and to loan
to those engaged in the agricultural
industry in this province. All money
borrowed by the commission must be
negotiated through the minister Of
finance, acting for and on behalf of
the commission. The due payment of
all securities, both as to principal and
interest issued by the commission and
sold through the department Of
finance, shall be Internationally guar
anteed by the crown in the right Of
the province Of British Columbia.
The commission may accept as Sc
curity for loans first mortgages upon
agricultural land in British Columbia
free from all membranes other than
interests vested in the crown. No
loan will be accepted for less amount
than $3.50, or for greater amount
than $4,000, and no loan will be &C.
cepted for an amount exceeding 500
of the appraised value Of the land Of
fered as security, calculated on the
basis of value and productiveness
when the improvements in respect Of
which the loan is required shall have
been effected. The commission may
advance by proportionate installments
as the work progresses.
Loans may be made for the follow
ing purposes: (a) The acquiring OF
land for agricultural purposes and the
satisfaction of membranes on land
used for that purpose; (b) the clear
ing, draining, dykeing, or irrigation
works; (c) the erection OF farm
buildings; (d) the purchase of live
stock, machinery, fertilizers, etc. (e)
discharging liabilities incurred for the
improvement and development of land
used for agricultural purposes and
any purpose that, in the judgment of
the commission, is calculated to in
crease land productiveness, and asso-
Citations organized under the agricul-
tural associations act, with the ap'
prevail of the lieutenant governor in
council.
Before granting any loan the COM
mission shall ascertain that the loan
is justified on the grounds of security
offered, desirability for purposes
above described, moral hazard and
economic benefit to borrower.
Both long-date and short-date loans
are authorized at rates of interest not
exceeding / per cent more than the
interest paid by the commission on
the bonds issued to secure the funds.
Agricultural bonds to the amount
Of $1,OO0,0oo have already been dis
posed of by the provisional govern
ment and another sale Of bonds for
farm loans is being negotiated. The
new law is business-like and will
doubtless have a stimulating effect
upon agriculture in the province.

slbIe to give any accurate quotations.
Flour-The strengthening of the
wheat market has been reflected on
flour and this week all local flours
were advanced csc per barrel, max
ing the quotations $3.50 for firsts and
1925 for seconds. There is some bust
ness passing all the time, but deal
ers are not stocking up with the mar
ket in it's present condition.
Feed-No further changes have
been noted in the feed market as to
prices, which are held firm at the re.
cent advances. New crop hay will
soon be on the market, which will
probably have tendency to shade
the present quotations.
