FEDERAL FARM LOANS.

According to testimony compiled at
the time of the consideration. of the
Federal Farm Loan Act in Congress-,
the total volume Of farm mortgages i'll
the United States is nearly four billion
dollars, and the average interest rate
IA per cent. If all of these mortgages
are TRANSFERRED to the Federal Farm
Loan System at five per cent the result
will be an annual saving in interest
charges to the farmer OF nearly $780,.
100000 annually.
Under the Act farmers are permitted
to borrow for the purpose Of land pur-
chase; refunding existing indebted
ness; live stock purchase; clearing and
draining land; construction of improve
ments and the purchase of fertilizer
and any equipment necessary in the
cultivation of the land. The loans are
limited to so per cent OF the appraised
value of the land, plus 20 per cent of
the appraised value Of the permanent
insured improvements.
. All mortgages under this act are
made on the amortization plan and run
generally for 36 years. The farmers
make annual payments equal to 6 per
cent, 5 per cent paying interest and l
per cent being applied on the principal.
The per cent applied on the principal
annually wipes it out at the end of So
years. The borrower has the right to
pay all or any part of the mortgage
after it has run five years.
Farmers and prospective farmers
may borrow. Land leased to tenants
can not be mortgaged under this act.
Thus cheap capital can not be used
for land speculation and land monopo-
ly because loans are limited to $4,000
each.
This great volume of capital which is
being loaned to farmers is procured by
the sale of bonds to investors. As
banks lend money and take farm mort
cages in return they issue bonds
against the mortgages and sell the
bonds to investors. These bonds bear
AZ per cent and are free of all taxa
tion, being declared by the law .'instru-
mentalities of the Government" The
bonds of any one Federal land bank
are indorsed by all of the banks and
consequently all bonds issued have be-
hind them the resources of all of the
IL Federal land banks and all of the
mortgages representing land appraised.
at twice the amount of the obligation
against it.
: These bonds are being disposed of
rapidly at 101h. It ID expected that
the issue of these bonds within year
will exceed 500, 900, 900 and may reach
SEQ, ,O0O. = .-.
The margin between the AZ per cent
Which the bonds yield and tho per
per cent paid by the farmer is used
to defray the expenses OF the Federal
land banks. The law permits 1 per
sent to be employed Tor this purpose
but the Federal Farm Loan Board be-
lieves they can be operated on half
that amount.

ROOT CROP MARKET GOOD.

A combination OF wet weather, inter
fering with the digging and marketing
OF potatoes, and decided increase in
the demand. had the effect OF bring
ing paying prices TO producers above
a dollar bushel last week. The de.
mand shown was from sections outside
of the state, and from q wide range
Of territory. The extremely bot
weather covered large part of the
country and burned up the early stock
in some sections that had counted on
a sufficient home supply. The gov
ernmant is in the market for 1900, 900
pounds for the army also and Mime.
sofa dealers have been asked to bid
on this amount to be delivered at diff
ferent points as wanted.
The hot weather burned up the crop
of many vegetables in the northwest
also, and green and wax beans and
cucumbers are already being brought
in from other growing sections. The
shortage Of many garden crops will
cause a heavier demand for all root
vegetables, and there is good sale in
the cities for beets, carrots and ruta-
bagas at from IS to IS cents a bushel
to the grower, and at somewhat higher
figures to the retailer and consumer.
The prospects are that the Mime
sofa crop will be marketed at good
prices, and producers should see that
the root vegetables of the northwest
are gathered and stored at the right
season, taken care of until they are
salable at remunerative figures, and
there will be no losses on the 1917
crop.-U. Market Letter.
