curity for every bond. The high
character of this security means that
people who have money to invest
will jump at the chance to put their
savings up against your security a
a low rate of interest. We will let
you have this money at actual cost
to US, plus not to exceed l per cent
to cover the cost OF operating this
money-assembling and money-lend-
ing machinery.
Then Uncle Sam turns to the in
weston and says:
1--WE have enabled the farmers of
the United States to give us their
massed mortgages. We are offering
mortgages against the farms of all
who join this pool. It is the best
security in the world, because every
dollar farmer borrows is represent
ed by 50 worth of land plus the stock
each farmer has purchased in his To-
cal association. To make these
bonds even more attractive, so as to
eventually give the farmer lower
interest rate, we have exempted them
from all forms of taxation. Even
Uncle Sam will not collect any tax
from them, mr. from the income
upon them. No state or municipali-
ty may tax them. We have made
these bonds in small denominations
from '$25 up so their purchase will
be easy among people with small
savings, and we will have the bonds
printed and engraved by tie Gov
eminent Bureau of Engraving and
Printing to protect them against
counterfeiting, and the United States
Secret Service will watch over them. .
So the farm loan act, in addition
to providing money for land pur-
chase and farm development, pro-
vides new form of security which
ought to become one of the most
popular in existence, because 1t Is
based on the land values of the en-
tire country.

loans are usually desired for long
periods. A loan for less than five
years is usually Of little value to the
farmer. If the loan is made for the
purpose Of buying land the farmers
chance to pay it off 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 business of lending
money on farms and carrying the
loans themselves. 1t is not good
banking. 1t ties up their funds in
sisted in continually would ruin any
bank. This fact limits the supply of
local money for farm loans, and par
tally accounts for high interest rates
The farm nnds of the United
States constitute a great mass of
valuab BILE assetsagainst which money
ought to be borrowed at fair rates
Of, interest. But it has been cha
Qtic 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 marketable security.
Now the government steps in and
provides this agency. 1t says to the
farmer who wants to use his land as
security:
"You join a national farm loan
association and contribute your
mortgage to a great federal land

lection is met by very carefully lin
iting the use to which the borrowed
money may be put andy the re-
quirement that farmers gradually
each year must reduce their indebt-
edness.
The farm loan act was designed to
be helpful to the farmer of average
operations who has heretofore been
denied adequate credit. 1t wisely
limits the loans to so per cent of the
appraised value of the security, be
cause this limitation makes the Sc
curity of a high character, thus sat
isfying the investor, and therefore
results in lower rate of interest.
The use of the money is carefully
limited to the purchase of land, to
pay off existing Indebtedness, to pur-
chase live stock, or to make any pro-
ductive Improvements such as fenc-
ing drainage, buildings and machin-
cry.
When money can be borrowed
cheaply for productive use, mort
gage becomes an investment rather
than a handicap The farmer is en-
abled to get money to put his land
to better use, so that the profits Of
his investment will pay off his in
debtedness. Hereafter judicious
borrowing on the part of the farmer
will be regarded as business enter
prise, just as 1t is now considered
beneficial for large commercial in
situations 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 returns.
So, it provides that a mortgage
made under the act shall be paid on
the amortization or installment plan
through a long or short period of
years. The mortgages may be made
to run from five to forty years, at
the option of the borrower, and they
must be paid off, interest and princi-
pal, in equal installments through
the period Of the loans. Permis-
sion is given to pay all Of the loan
or any part OF it on any interest
paying date after it has run five
years.
To give the prospective borrower
an exact idea of the size of the pay
ments required annually to wipe out
a mortgage in a given period, amor
tization tables have been prepared.
The following table shows the
amount OF annual payments required
to extinguish, in the period indicat-
ed, a thousand-dollar loan bearing
interest at 5, IL and per cent.

So it will be seen that the farm
loan act, in addition to providing a
way for the farmer to borrow to the
limit of safety. provides that he
must put his borrowed money to pro-
',ctive uses, and furnishes the ma
-'linery to get him out of debt in an
''onorable and businesslike way.
The farm loan act helps the farmer
by placing within his grasp the
raeans to help himself. It makes
the business initiative and indie
pendent.
ARTICLE w.
From the Viewpoint of the Investor.
Farm lands have always been re-
garded as the safest security in the
world. But loans made against
farm lands have generally exacted a
higher interest rate than loans made
on other good security.
There are several reasons for this.
Such loans are not readily trans
fereble, /. O., marketable. Farm

automobiles to inspect the premises.

Material and Labor High.

There is a demand for more houst g
in Edgeield. Owing to the high
cost of building material it does not
pay as an investment to build houses
to rent. We would like to see more
home owners in Edgefeld and
suggest that those who need houses
and are unable to secure them, build
home through the local building
and loan association. The high cost
of all kinds of material, together
with the scarcity and high price of
labor, has somewhat retarded build
ing everywhere. The need is i'm
perative for more houses in Augusta,
specially since the great fire, but
the high cost of material has kept
many persons from building.
