Amortization How Loans Under the
Farm Loan Act Are Designed to BE

third article prepared by Frank r,
Wilson of the Federal Farm Loan bureau.
II is as follows:
1T has always been recognized that
the most effective aid one can get is that
which enables him to help himself.
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
over-borrow.
"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 gradually each
year must reduce their Indebtedness.
"The farm loan act was designed to be
helpful to the farmer of average opera
tions, who has heretofore been denied
adequate credit. 1t wisely limits the
loans to 80 per cent. of the appraised
value of the security, because this limita-
ton makes the security of high charac
ter, thus satisfying the investor, and
therefore results in lower rate of in
.erest
"1he use of the money is carefully linn
ted to the purchase of land, to pay off
existing indebtedness, to purchase live

$50 it will be seen that the farm loan
act, in addition to providing way for
the farmer to borrow to the limit of
safety, provides that he must put his
borrowed money to productive uses, and
furnishes the machinery to get him out
of debt in an honorable and business-like
way. The farm loan act helps the farm
er by placing within his grasp the means
to help himself. 1t makes for business
initiative and independence.
