4 DIFFERENCE IN

Mr.. George a. Barr, of Iowa, holds
seven sections of land in Saskatche-

ment.
Mr.. Barr says tlat farm land at
home in Iowa is held at $50 per acre.
These lands are in a high state of cul-
tivation, with splendid Improvements
in houses, barns, stables and silos, and
yet, the revenue returns from them ara
! only from two to three per cent per
annum on investment.
Last year, 1915, his half share OF
crop on quarter section in Saskatche-
wan, wheat on new breaking, gave him
B5 per cent on the capital invested
$500 an acre. The crop yield was
80 bushels per acre. This year the
same quarter-sectiOn, sOwn to Red
Fife on stubble gave 1885 bushels. His
share, 1913 bushels of / Northern at
$f5G per bushel, gave bim S2,563.0S
Seed, half the Irvine and half the
threshing bill cost him $453.00. Allow
ing share of the expense of his an
nual inspection trip, charged To this
quarter-section even to $1,000, and he
has left 100000, that is so per cent
of the original cost of the land. Any.
one can figure up that another aver
age crcp vii. pay, not , or 3 per cent
on investment, as in Iowa, but the
total price of the land. Mr.. Barr says:
THAT'S no joke now"
Mr.. Barr was instrumental in bring
ing a number of farmers from Iowa to
Saskatchewan in 1913. He referred to
one of them, Geo. II. Kerton, a tenant
farmer in Iowa. He bought a quarter
section of improved land at $1,000 an
acre near Hanley. From proceeds OF
crop in 1914, 1915, 1916, he has paid
for the land Mr.. Barr asked him
week ago: "Well, George, what shall
I tell friends down home for your"
The reply was: TELL them l shall
never go back TO be a tenant for any
man." Another man, Charles Haight,
realized $4,000 in cash for his wheat
crops in 1915 and 1916.
Mr.. Barr when at home devotes
most Of his time TO raising and deal
ing in live stock. On his first visit OF
inspection to Saskatchewan, he real
ICED the opportunity there was here
for grazing cattle. So his quarter
sections, not occupied, were fenced
and rented as pasture lands to farm
ers adjoining. His creed is: let ma
ture supply the feed all summer while
cattle are growing, and then in the
fall. take them to farmsteads to be
finished for market There is money

FARM LOAN ACT.
III. Amcrtizaiion-How Leans
Under the Farm Loan Act
Are Designed to Be
Helpful &c the 6or-
rover.

6By Prank T. Wilson, federal loan bu-
rean washington ID. c.

Il has always been recognized that
the most effective aid one can get is
that which enables hiu to help him
self.
Some critics OF the federal farm loan
act have charged that this act makes
it too easy for farmers to get into
debt. and that there will be 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
it's the loans to 80 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.
Tie 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 investments.
When money can he borrowed cheaD-
" for productive use, mortgage be-
comes an investment rather than a
handicap. The farmer is enabled to-
get money to put his land to better
use, so that the profits of his invest
ment win 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 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 a mortgage made
under the act be paid on the amOrtiza-
ton or installation plan through a 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, ia
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 it on any interest
paying date after it has run five years.

SchloSs watched his daughter, With
terror and pity intermingled. Terror
at the thought that his words fell up
on deaf ears that it was already be-
yond his control to remedy the situa-
ton; that Minnie, the daughter OF
Sarah, his Sarah, the woman who
stood for all that was pure, noble and
lofty in Judaism his Sarah, who,
on her deathbed begged that religion
be implanted in the hearts of her
children; the Sarah who was now
walking with the angels, and whose
spirit was lowering over the home;
that this child of Sarah should marry
a Christian. It was unthinkable! In
conceivable!
Minnie's convulsive sobs directed
his mind to another channel. Pity
filled his heart pity at the thought
of burdening her youthful and careless
spirit with sorrows deep, profound =
sorrows that lacerate the SOUL Pity
at the thought of wounding the heart
of his own child, who was practically
guiltless of the position she now
found herself in. Was he not alone
to blame for it? To how many of his
wife's last wishes had he adhered?
Apart from having the Friday meal to-
gether, what sort of a Jewish train
ing had he given his children? When
did he ever teach them Jewish lore,
traditions, customs? What right had
he now to demand that his daughter
should suddenly become impressed
with the awe and reverence of Mosa-
ic rites? But good heavens, he cannot
allow it; it must not be; she must be
guided, she must be made to see the
light. Surely she is like her mother.
She has her mothers benign spirit.
She is sane; she will yield cost what
it will, it must not come to pass. He

anguish of centuries of persecution.

her fathers argument considerable.
He was selfish; lacking in affection;
heartless heartless. Momentar-
ily, however, she was assailed by
thousand reasons of opposition. The
thought of bringing unhappiness,
possibly ruin, upon her household,
terrified her. She felt, in fact, she
knew that Mr.. Singleton would i'm
mediately avenge himself. Her mar
riage would undoubtedly bring about
the loss of her fathers superinten-
dency at the store, thereby entailing
many hardships for the family, par
ticu1ar1y for Bernard, who was still
dependent, and for whom she had a
fervent fondness. No, she will not act
hastily. She would wait. The sane
ton of both Arthur's father and her
own might eventually be won. She
would lay the plan before Arthur as
he was so much stronger and wiser
than she. Surely he will find way
out of it,
She suddenly jumped up from her
reclining position, fortified by grim
determination to fight, not to yield;
to resist, not to succumb. Her room
was pitch dark She walked over to
the window, lifted the shade, and,
putting her forehead against the pane,
gazed out disconsolately.
A pale, yellow, autumnal moon was
slowly creeping up the eastern hori-
ION, casting CHASTITY shadows upon the
world beneath-her world. A stiff
west breeze shook the trees, sending
doleful melody through the undis
turbed air of the night. The gold and
yellow leaves were thickly falling,
and in their descent appeared to hest
tate, waiver-like herself-now fly
ing sideways, now downward, now
upward, until a sudden gust swept
them to the ground.
Presently a strong searchlight was
thrown upon the window where Min
ME stood. She Immediately recalled
that she had made an appointment to
meet Arthur that evening at the bend,
a little ways down the road. She threw
some wraps about her, and, with
bound, leaped out of the room, walk
ing stealthily down the steps to a
back door that gave on little garden
in the rear of the house. From there
she took the path across the field that
led to the main road At the designat-
ed place she found Arthur waiting.
