The idea is m adaptation to the
use of the farmer of the building and
loan association, which has done so
much for city people. In view of the
fact that city people all over the couI.-
try have organized city loan associa-
tons, it is believed that farmers all
over the country will be forming farm
loan associations which can borrow
money ar any time on easy terms to
the great benefit of agriculture and
agriculturists.

which stand by each other through a

these bonds are as good as any rail-
road or municipal bonds in the Coun-
try.

THE farmer needs different sort
OF credit from that available to the
business man. lie needs it sometimes
for a long time. When IA farmer
