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 I'M
known. The man who wanted to farm
simply went out and purchased cheap
land or settled on government land
Practically all Of 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
already 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 con-
stitute a positive bar to the getting of
farm homes by landless farmers.
QUESTION ANSWERED..
The question is frequently asked,
IF the farm loan act provides cheap
sr money for land purchase, will 1t not
make 1t easier Tor some men TO get
credit to monopolize land, increase
land values, make it harder for the
tenant farmer. and perpetuate and
broaden the tenant system"
The answer is, that the privilege OF
borrowing under the farm loan act is
denied to any except actual farmers.
Il 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
,and monopoly.
So, II will be seen that the farm
loan act gives to the rich no additional
advantage In buying land. but does
give an added advantage to the land
less. It exerts Its financial pressure,
and will always do SO. in favor OF act
ual working farmer ownership and
against absentee iandlordism or the
holding of lands out Of use for spec
Native purposes.

The Effect of the Farm Loan Act
on Farm Tenantry

how a credit system that lends only
up to 30 per cent of the value Of the
land enables the tenant to buy a 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
predict that under the farm loan sys-
tern the second mortgage will take on
q new value.
The tenant who wants to buy land
indicates what land he intends to
purchase when he joins the farm loan
association. 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 a sec
ond mortgage to the original owner,
this mortgage to come due, say, in
ten years. The first mortgage under
the amortization plan will be gradual
ly reduced each year and the required
payments hereunder will be so small
as not to menace the ultimate secur-
ity of the second mortgage This will
be an advantageous arrangement for
both parties.
CAN RETIRE MORTGAGES.
The original owner will get a 20
per cent cash payment for his land,
which is more than he would ordinari-
ly get In real estate transaction. The
tenant will find that, unless he has
paid an unduly high price for his lana,
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
by private individuals to lend money
to landless people Of proper character,
who want to buy farms and who have
not saved the so per cent as a nest egg.
1t Is believed by financiers that men
with farming ability and integrity will
not have difficulty in getting the prop
osition financed. 1t depends altogeth-
er on the character of the borrower.
Editors Note Tomorrow's INSTALL
ment will have to do with the social
effect of the application of the farm
loan act.)
