for the farmer to borrow to the limit

his borrowed money to productive uses,

1t has always been recognized that
the most effective aid one can get is
that which enables him to help him.
self.
Some critics of the federal farm loan
act have charged that this act makes
1t too easy for farmers to get into
debt, and that there will be a tendency
to OverbOrrow.
A careful reading of the bill will
show that this objection is met by very
carefully limiting the use to which the
borrowed money may be put and by
the requirement that farmers gradual
ly each year must reduce their in
debtedness.
The farm loan act was designed to
be helpful TO the farmer of average
operations who has heretofore been
denied adequate credit. 1t wisely linn
its the loans to so per cent Of the
appraised value of the security, be-
cause this limitation makes the Sc
curity of high character, thus salts
flying the investor, and therefore re-
suits in a lower rate of interest
The use of the money is carefully
limited to the purchase of land. to pay
off existing Indebtedness, to purchase
live stock, or to make any productive
Improvement such as fencing drain
age, buildings and machinery.
Is Really an Investment.
When money can be borrowed cheap
ly for productive use, a mortgage be-
comes an investment rather than q
handicap. The farmer is enabled to
get money to put his land to better
use, so that the profits of his invest
ment will pay off his indebtedness.
Hereafter judicious borrowing on the
part of the farmer will be regarded
as business enterprise, just as it is
now considered beneficial for large
commercial institutions to borrow.
The farm loan act creates a form OF
indebtedness which peculiarly fits the
farmers needs. 1t recognizes that the
farming business is one Of slow re-
turns.
SO, it provides that mortgage made
under the act be paid on the amortiza-
ton or installation plan through long
or short period of years. The mort
cages may be made to run from five
to forty years, at the option of the bor-
rover, and they must be paid off, in.
terest and principal in equal INSTALL
ments through the period of the loans.
Permission is given to pay all of the
loan or any part of 1t on any interest
paying date after 1t has run five years.
Table Of Payments.
To give the prospective borrower
an exact idea Of the size of the pay
ments required annually to wipe out
mortgage in given period, amortiza-
ton tables have been prepared. The
following table shows the amount of
annual payments required to extin-
guish, in the period indicated, a thou
