Rich Spectators in
Land Barred From
Farm Loan Benefits
ARTICLE v.
[By Frank r. Wilson, Federal Farm

[By Frank r. Wilson, Federal Farm
Loan Bureau.]
Students of American agriculture
have been greatly concerned over the
remarkable increase in farm tenantry.
Years ago, when land was plentiful
and cheap. tenantry was almost UNI
known. The man who wanted to farm
land or settled on government land.
Practically all the land was farmed by
owners
When the supply Of cheap land be-
came exhausted, and most of the land
occupied. there was no longer an out
let for the increasing number of land
less farmers. Consequently, those who
wished to engage in the business were
compelled to decker with those who al
ready held title to the lands. The re-
suit was a rapid and astonishing in
crease in the value of lands. Farm
land ownership now represents billions
of dollars in land values which cOnsti-
tute a positive bar to the getting OF
farm homes by landless farmers.
The question is frequently asked. III
the farm loan act provides cheaper
money for land purchase will it make
it easier for some men to get credit to
monopolize land, increase land values,
make it harder for the tenant farmer,
and perpetuate and broaden the ten
ant SyStem?"

Farmers Only Benefit.

The answer is that the privilege OF
borrowing under the farm loan act is
denied to any except actual farmers
Ii is denied the landlord and the spec
ulator. Furthermore the size of the
loans is limited to $4,000 to check the
tendency toward too large farms and
land monopoly.
So, it will be seen that the farm loan
act gives to the rich no additional ad-
vantage in buying land, but does give
an added advantage to the landless. 1t
exerts its financial pressure, and will
always do so. in favor of actual work
ing farmer ownership and against alb
sentee landlordism or the holding OF
lands out of use for speculative pur-
poses.
But it has been frequently asked how
credit system that lends only up TO
80 per cent of the value Of the land en-
ahles the tenant to buy farm If the
tenant has not saved the other so per
cent
To this man the avenue for acquir-
ing the other 80 per cent is the second
mortgage. given either to the original
owner OF the land, or TO private
money lending agency. Financial men
prcdic; that under the farm loan sys-
TEN the second mortgage will take on
a rev value.

The prediction a year ago that De-
fore 1916 passed into history some
kind of wool would have sold on the
BOSTON market at a dollar pound
would have seemed more or less haZ-
ardous. but the prophecy came true
A year ago fine staple territory was
being sold In Boston at Is cents; two
Years ago it was quotable at So cents
and three years ago it was bringing
81 cents. whereas 1t can hardly De hau

Method Of Getting Loan.

The tenant VINO wants to buy land
indicates what land he intends to pur-
chase VIXEN he Joins the farm loan as
sociation. Then when he gets his loan
up to so per cent of the value he pays
that down to the original owner OF the
land. Then he executes second mort
gage to the original owner. this mort
gage to come due, say, in ten years.
The first mortgage under the amorti-
cation plan will be gradually reduced
each year and the required payments
will be so small as not to
menace the ultimate security OF the
second mortgage This will be an ad-
arrangement for both par
ties
The original owner will get 50 per
cent cash payment for his land. which
is more than he would ordinarily get
in a real estate transaction. The ten
ant will find that. unless he has paid
an unduly high price for his land. his
annual payments to retire both his first
and second mortgages will not be as
great as the rent previously paid.
In some of the states second mort
gage banks are already being formed
bv private individuals to lend money to

not saved the so per cent as a nest egg.
