Rural Credits.

In considering the question of rural
credits the thought naturally arises
why are rural credits to be treated as
in any way different from city credits ?
Why cannot the farmer go to the bank
when he wishes to borrow money just
as the city man does?
There are several perfectly salts
factory reasons why he cannot
First it may be we'll to consider
when the farmer is justified in using
his credit. -
Men use their credit, that is. con-
tract Indebtedness, for the purpose
of consumption which consumption
may be either constructive or produc-
tive.
If the money borrowed is used to
make the land more productive. to
improve the breed of stock handled.
or in any manner to increase the in
come from the farm. the borrowed
money may be said to be used or con-
sumed productivity and such use of

credit is wise, so long as the added
product viii more than take care of
the loan.
When, however, money is borrowed
to be used in securing luxuries or in
simply tiding over a hard place it
must be repaid out of the product of
other resources, and if such destruc-
tive consumption is persisted in dis
aster sooner or later must result
Many things have served as the
basis of credit, at first gold and sill
yer, then land, later the crops grown
upon the land, and finally in late
years the integrity of the man, or the
combined integrity of a number of
men who mutually stand behind the
loan. This combined manhood credit
forms the basis of cooperative as
sociations where business is done and
money loaned without the ownership
of property by the borrower or the
possession of a capitol fund by the
loaner.-C. F. Davis, Colorado Aricul-
tural College, Fort Collins. Colo.
