the rate paid by it on the bonds
which it sells, based on the
mortgages it receives. It's pow
ers and restrictions are in the
main the same as those of the
Farm Land Banks. 1t takes the
place of the Farm Land Bank
and the Loan Association, or the
agent which the Land Bank may
have appointed. All of the
agencies mentioned, Loan Asso-
Citations, agents, and the joint
stock land banks, may operate
in the same territory. This
might happen where the agent
was appointed before an associa-
ton was formed. The capital
stock of the joint stock land
bank must be at least $3.50, 900.
1t must not sell bonds in excess
of fifteen times its capital and
surplus. 1t can make loans for
any purpose to anybody, in any
amounts, neither of which is
allowed by the other methods.
Adjustment to State Laws
In case of default of payment
of an installment by the borrow
er the loan association, or agent,
must pay in cash or bonds with
in thirty days. 1t is then up to
the association to collect from
the individual whose mortgage
was tdrned over to the associa-
ton. Should the association de-
fault it is declared insolvent and
a receiver is appointed and pro-
ceedings are then under orders
from the Farm Loan Board.
The Farm Loan Commissioner,
the executive officer of the Fed
eral Farm Loan Board, is to
make examination of the state
laws relating to the con"a";rs
and recording OF land titles, and
the foreclosures of mortgages or
other instruments securing loans
and relative points. A report
will be compiled for use in the
various states. A great deal of
confusion will result from the
multiplicity of state regulations
on those points which could be
avoided by the general adoption
of the Torrens system of land
registration. This law is now in
force in quite a number of
states, including Mississippi, but
it is virtually a dead letter be-
cause Of the expense and time
required to comply the law.
However when once a piece of
la n d is thus registered the
pledging of a farm under the
rural credit law would be so
simple that none would worry
oyer the requirements. The ex-
pense in registering under the
Torren law is but little more if
any than the expenses which
would have to be paid in meet
ing the requirements of the rural
credit law, and in the Torrens
registration the state forever
guarantees the title.
All debts under the rural
credits law are to be paid by the
amortization plan. This plan is
in vogue wherever rural credits
are in operation. 1t is a system
of paying off debts by install
ments of equal amount; each
payment including the accured
interest and part of the princi-
pal. The extension of the time,
and the lowering of the interest
through the sale of bonds offers
the land-owning farmers that
which should make for rural
betterment.

d. To liquidate AN indebted
ness already on the land or an
Indebtedness subsequently incur
red for one of the purposes men
toned above.
All loans are to be limited to
fifty percent of the appraised
value of the land.
Each borrower is to take stock
in the farm bank to five percent
of the amount of his loan. This
gradually climates the govern
ment as a stockholder.
The shares in both loan asso-
Citations and the land banks are
| five dollars each. When ap-
plication for loans kare made by
a loan association for it's mem
bers it must be accompanied by
the statement that the applicants
are owners or about to be the
owners of land; that the loan
desired by each person is not
more than $4,000 nor less than
$1OO, and that the aggregate
sum desired on mortgage loans
is not less than $4,000 A
subscription to stock in the
Federal land bank equal to five
percent of the aggregate sum
desired on mortgage loans is re-
quired.
The shareholders of the asso-
citation are liable euuallu anA
raJaDiy, but not one for another,
for all liabilities of the associa-
ton to the extent of the amount
of the stock owned by each at
/
par in addition to the amount
paid in and represented by the
shares.
| The association may retain
from any loan endorsed by it not
to exceed one eighth of one per-
cent, to be deducted from divi-
dends payable to farm loan
associations by the land bank.
The land bank is to charge one
percent above the rate it pays on
bonds, which must cover admin
istration expenses and profits.
The expenses incurred by the
owner of the land to get the
title established to the satisfac-
tion of the land bank comes as
extra cost to the borrower.
Loans Through Agents
When a locality does not form
a loan association provision is
made for the Federal Farm Loan
Board to appoint as agent a
bank, trust company, mortgage
company or savings institution.
This agent acts in the stead of
the loan association and the
same regulations hold good as in
the case of the loan being ne
gotiated by the loan association.
The borrower is subject to the
same requirements and restric-
tions and the agent is response
BILE as an endorser. The agent
receives one half of one percent
on the loan, and whatever ex-
penses that must be incurred in
appraising and abstracting and
recording the deed must be paid
by the borrower as is the case
with the association, and is
collectible from the dividends
payable to the borrower on his
stock in the land bank.
Loans Made Through Joint
Stock Banks
The joint stock land mortgage
bank is organized just as any
other incorporated bank but
comes under the supervision of
the Federal Land Bank Board.

Automobile Manufacturers
to Make Unified
Effort for 1t
CONFERENCE OF CAR
MAKERS IN JANUARY
Information of All Sorts
To Be Gathered on Ex-
port Business

Approaching that foreign countries
are looking to the American manu-
facturer to- furnish motor cars in the
future, the directors of the National
Automobile Chamber of Commerce at
their meeting on Thursday took the
first step in a cooperative movement
to advance export trade by voting to
hold meeting of the export managers
of the companies holding membership
in the manufacturers organization.
It will be held some time in Janu-
airy at the headquarters in New York.
and with the interchange of ideas is
expected to help materially in caring
for countries that require the modern
motor vehicle. Exports have been in
creasing every year, and the figures for
1916 will exceed Sl60,000,000, number
ing more than approximately $1,000
cars sent to seventy-four different
countries.
The conference, il is expected, will
helm to collect information regarding
changes in duties in foreign countries,
customs regulations, shipping routes
and charges. special permits, lists of
dealers, banking arrangements. road
conditions and general uses for various
types of motor cars, possibilities of in
teresting agents and broadening mar
kets, the handling of the trade after
cars have been sold and such other
matters as might be expected to pro-
mote sales abroad.
Notwithstanding the shortage in
freight cars, which has seriously al
fected the industry, shipments OF auto
mobiles for the month of November
were 1880 carloads, as against l7,l3S
for the same month last year. Report
was made at the investigation OF the
Interstate Commerce Commission re
garding the rules and practices OF rail
roads taking interchange cars, and IT
was clearly shown that this serv ice had
been seriously impaired by the cars
being arbitrarily used in other SER
vices. IL was also reported that a COM
mittee of presidents of the American
Railway Association had agreed to es-
tablish at Washington, conference
committee on car efficiency, consisting
of five operating officials TO cooperate
with the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion in an effort TO relieve the freight
car shortage.
The automobile industry is suffering
particularly because the automobile
freight cars, after being taken off the
main lines. have been used for the
shipment of other commodities an1
have not been returned TO automobile
territories. 1t is expected that the
railroads will soon advance their per
diem charge for the use Of freight cars
by other roads from As cents to 81 or
Sl.25 a day.
