The Farm Loan Act From the
Point of View of the Investor
10y Frank Wilson,
(Artiele Fourl

Farm lands have always been re-
garded as the safest security in the
world. But loans made against farm
lands have generally exacte6 a higher
interest rate than loans made on other
good security.
There are several reasons for this
such loans are not readily transfer
able, l. e., marketable. Farm loans are
usually desired for long periods. A
loan for less than five years Is usually
or little. value to the farmer. II the
loan Is made for the purpose Of buy
ing land the farmers chance to pay it
on Is to make the money out of the
Land. 1t is against reason to expect
that land will pay for itself in five
years.
Well-managed commercial banks
cannot make a. business Of lending
money on farms and carrying the
loans themselves. It is not good bank
ing. 1t ties UP their funds in perman-
ent investments and IL persisted in
continually would ruin any bank. This
fact limits the supply Of local money
Tor farm loans, and partially accounts
for high interest rates on them.
The farm lands of the United
States constitute great mass Of valu-
able assets against which money
ought to be borrowed at fair rates of
interest. But 1t has been a chaotic
mass Of value. No agency has ever
undertaken to assemble this mass Of
assets into negotiable form so that it
could be readily handled as a market
able security.
Now the government steps in and
provides this agency. It says to the
farmer who wants to use his land as
security:
'You join national farm loan as
ISOLATION and contribute your mort
gage to a great federal land bank pool
Of mortgages. We have provided the
machinery for this purpose and adopt
ed rules for its operation so that the
interest Of all will be safeguarded.
When your mortgages are massed to-
gether, a federal land bank will take
these mortgages and issue bonds
against them: sell the bonds to in
vestors, and re-lend the money to-
