SHORT TERM LOANS
FOR TEE FARMER
Rural Credit Associations Provide
Working Capital For German FARM
ere At Low Rates OF Interest.
F. B. B0MBERGER,
Maryland Agricultural College.


Just as the Landschaften or Land
Mortgage Associations are designed to
provide for the German land owners
longtime loans Of capital upon the Sc
curity Of their land, so the Raifeisen
or Rural Credit Associations or Banks
ere designed to- provide short term
loans OF working capital to enable the
German farmers to plant, cultivate,
harvest and market their crops. These
institutions derive their name from
William Raiffeisen who established in
1852 at Anhausen q cooperative union
or association of farmers for the pur-
pose Of commanding credit for the in.
dividual members upon their combined
credit. In 1890 the number Of Rural
Banks In Germany was 1923; in 1900,
they had increased to 9,79s; while in
1910 they numbered 1857. Moreover.
they have spread over the whole Con.

Low Interest Rates,

The terms for which loans are made
range from six months to three years,
the average being about one year. In
case of failure of crop, in bad sea,
sons, the loans are extended for addi
tional periods. A very common form
of loan is that made on current ac-
count In this case the loan is ap.
proved up to a certain amount, but
the money Is drawn out only as need
ed, interest being charged only on the
amount used. If the money is misused
the loan can be called at any time.
Funds for the use Of members are
derived from the sale OF capital stock,
one-half per cent; from reserve funds
accumulated from previous years, 26
per cent; from savings deposits and
current accounts, IS per cent; from
central associations, referred to later,
112 per cent. Deposits are accepted
from anyone, but only members are
allowed to keep current accounts.
The rates at which loans are made
to members are very low, averaging
from IL to IL per cent. This con.
dition is made possible from the fact
that these banks are cooperative in
fact as well as in name. Usually no
dividends are paid on capital stock,
all earnings being carried to the re-
serve funds. The more successful the
bank the lower are the rates Of inter.

needs, abundant working capital, at a

being called upon to repay the loan.
A National System.
Each of these local Rural Banks is
combined into provincial union, at

for the local banks. These provincial

CASTLEMAN
LOSES SUIT
VS.COUNTY

Deputy Sheriff Bob Castleman has
lost his suit against Grady county be-
fore the state supreme court according
to advance bulletins sent out by the
Oklahoma Law Brief company. This
is a suit which was instituted by Cas-
tleman against the county year ago
for one hundred per cent OF the mile
age (Which he claimed he was enti-
tied in cases tried in local courts.
Under the law a county in Oklaho-
ma is liable only for the payment Of
60 per cent of fees collectable through
Services rendered by deputy sheriffs.
The other forty per cent goes to the
county, In this instance the deputy
sheriff asked to be reimbursed for the
full amount of the mileage. The coun-
ty commissioners, however, held that
mileage was considered to be fees un-
der the law and that Castleman could
collect only sixty per cent Of the
amount claimed. This was the position
taken by the county court when the
case was tried but the district court
reversed the decision Of the lower
court and allowed Castleman 100 per
cent. The supreme court this week,
however, reversed the decision Of the
district court and the deputy sheriff
will lose the test case. Had the de.
cision been awarded to him it would
have meant the collection of larger
sums than that involved in the suit
and other officers would probably have
made similar claims.
The Castleman case was test suit,
deputy sheriffs throughout
the state.
