FARMERS OF EIGHTY ONE GEORGIA COUNTIES
| BORROWING under FEDERAL FARM LOAN ACT
BY Henry T. Maddux.

The opportunity of borrowing money
nj S per cent and for periods of from
to 40 years with land as security
has made its appeal to Georgia farm
ers. as is shown by the fact that more
than rs farm-loan associations are IN
ths process OF organization in Georgia
10 borrow money under the Federal
far1n-loan act Several associations
have already been formed The first
ones granted charters were in the
counties OF Cobb, Floyd. Habersham.
Meriwether, Stewart and Talbot,
In many instances the county agri-
cultural agent has been instrumental
in forming the associations. Two asso-
Citations are now being formed IN
Clarke county under the direction OF
the county agent and all representa-
tiyes Of the State College of Agricul-
ture will gladly assist in this work.
IL xoa are interested in forming such
an association consult your county
agent.
FORMING AN ASSOCIATION.
tn form an association not less than
ten farmers meet and elect a secretary
4arasaror and board of directors. This
board generally consists OF five men.
lenrh borrower makes application
tRruagh the board, stating the amount
10 a,s borrowed and the security given,
which. in each case, must be hrst
mortgage.
Next. the board of directors APP
p0iutx a committee to appraise the
land. and then it is finally appraised
hv n representative of the Federal
Land Bank. The land bank of the
third district, comprising North Caro-
lima. South Carolina, Georgia and
Florida. is located at Columbia, South
Carolina.
AMOUNT OF LOANS.
Under the farmloan act farmer
NAV borrow up to so per cent OF the
value of his land as has heeh apprais-
ed and 20 per cent of the improve
lnaais. In order that all farmers may
become borrowers the minimum loan
is SlO0. To protect the borrowers and
a,revent speculation the maximum loan
has been placed at $4,000.
The money borrowed, according to
The act, must be spent on the farm for
improTement, or it may be used in the
purchase of other land In many in
stances il is used to purchase live
stock. so Interested is the farm loan
board i'm the borrower that il publish
The Leader, enterprise and press. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1915-1921, 1917-11-16

es Borrowers Bulletin in which
advice is given as to how the money
may be spent to the best advantage
INTEREST RATE AND TIME OF
LOAN
by law the interest rate must mt
be greater than per cent and. at
the present time, farmers are borrow
ing their money for per cent. This
cheap money is welcomed by the farm
ers for before the associations were
established they had been paying from
TO II per cent for their money. and
then loans could only be made in some
instances for short periods of time
The farm-lOan act provides that
money may be borrowed for any period
from S to 40 years. In case the farm
er makes loan for forty years and
wishes to pay it up sooner he has the
privilege OF doing so at any regular
time OF interest payment after the five
years have elapsed. He cannot borrow
Tor less than five years. Experience
has proven that the farmer generally
wants to extend the time of his loan
as long as possible.
The interest of the loan must ne
paid regularly and together with it a
part of the principal in order that the
loan may be fully retired In a given
time. The longer the period of time
over which the loan extends the
smaller the amount of principal paid
each year
Che most convenient and popular
period of time for which to make a
lean in some sections is Sc years. By
paying six per cent of the principal
each year the borrower pays the an
nual interest charge of per cent and
per cent on the principal which re-
tires the loan completely al the end
Of the thirty-siK years.
GREAT IMPETUS GIVEN TO
FARMING.
The added capital and the security
OF the long loan, which cannot be re.
called as long as the interest nav.
ments are met. have given a decided
impetus to farming. The money Dor.
rowed is being spent in purchasing
improved machinery, laying drain tile,
building silos, buying high grade foun.
dation breeding stock OF all kinds i'm.
proving the farm home and in various
other ways about the farm. With this
capital in hand the farmer is better
able than ever before to run his farm
on strict business basis and farming
! is surely business.

SAYS FREE TRADE IS
PREVENTIVE OF WAR
Government Official Sees
Economic Millennium
Through Single Tax
DECLARES ENGLAND
ESTABLISHES PROOF

Free trade as a war preventive was
offered by Lewis f. Post, assistant
secretary of labor, at a single tax
meeting in Bden Hall yesterday after
noon. BY adopting free trade friction
between nations would cease, he said,
and wars would be unnecessary.
There are worse things than war,
Mr.. Post said. Worse things than
war are the cause Of war. These are
purely economic and are brought
about by monopolies. We shall have
war as long as these breeders of war
exist" Mr. Post declared.
Mr.. Post argued that every product
OF human labor is the product Of nat
urai resources plus thousands of
workmen laboring together towards
the finished article. To show that
free trade would benefit the world, be
reminded his hearers OF the way free
trade had helped the United States
grow into a great and powerful ma
ton without friction between the
States incorporated within its borders,
Speaking OF tho Civil War, he said,
this was trade war; inasmuch as
some parts of the country wished for
protection while others did not. He
pointed out the growth OF Germany
from the time that the establishment
Of free trade stopped all internecine
animosities and made a conglomera'
ton OF separate states a great ma.
ton England's growth he explained
by the throwing wide of her ports 10
the ships and goods of every nation
According to Mr.. Post the way to
get free trade was not to impose II
on the world suddenly today or TO-
morrow but to change the tendencies
of the masses so that they should want
this thing. This could be worked out
gradually, Mr.. Post said, by the es
tablishment OF the single tax system
He showed how the freedom Of the
ocean as exemplifled by the uncon
trolled use of it up TO the present
time has It's corollorary in the un
restrained use of the land which
should be made fact rather than an
ideal.
"Tax the possessors OF the natural
resources OF the earth" Mr.. Post said
"the men who own favorable loca
lions. the men who have monopolies
which by the right of creation belong
10 all and drop by degrees the taxes
from the work OF a mans hands
from his industry and you have the
fundamentals of free trade in a com
munity. Extend this and you hav'
free trade between nations"
Major William Hardy of the Unite,
States Marine Corps will be tn
speaker next Sunday afternoon. Hi
subject will be, Military Training II
Harmony with Democracy"
