The Effect Of the Farm Loan
Act on Farm Tenantry
by Frank Washington
Five)

Students OF American agriculture
have been greatly concerned over the
remarkable increase in farm tenantry.
Years ago, when land was plentiful
and cheap, tenantry was almost un-
know. The man who wanted to farm
simply went out and purchased cheap
land or settled on government land.
Practically all of the land was farmed
by owners.
When the supply of cheap land be-
came exhausted and most of the land
let for the increasing number OF land
less farmers. Consequently, those
who wished to engage In the business
were compelled to dicker with those
who already held title to the lands.
The result was rapid and astonish-
ing increase in the value of lands.
Farm land ownership now represents
billions of dollars in land values
which constitute a positive bar to the
getting of farm homes by landless
farmers.
The question is frequently asked.
IF the Farm Loan act provides
cheaper money for land purchase. will
1t not make IL easier for some t. get
credit to monopolize land, inc ase
land values, make it harder for the
tenant farmer, and perpetuate and
The answer is, that the privilege Of
borrowing under the farm loan act is
denied to any except actual farmers.
1t is denied the landlord and the
speculator. Furthermore, the size OF
the loans is limited to $4,000 to
check the tendency toward too large
farms and land monopoly.
So, it will be seen that the farm
loan act gives to the rich no addi-
tional advantage in buying land, but
does give an added advantage to the
landless. 1t exerts it's financial pres
sure, and will always do so. in favor
Of actual working farmer ownership
and against absentee landlordism or
the holding of lands out Of use for
speculative purposes.
But it has been frequently asked
how a credit system that lends only
up to so per cent of the value of the
land enables the tenants to buy a
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1917-01-19

farm il the tenant has not saved the
other 80 per cent.
To this man the avenue for acuuir-
ing the other SO per cent is the Sec
ond mortgage, given either to the
original owner of the land or to q
private money-lending agency. FL
nancial men predict that under the
farm loan system the second mort
gage will take on a new value.
The tenant who wants to buy land
indicates what land he intends to
purchase when he joins the farm loan
association. Then when he gets his
loan up to 30 per cent OF the value
he pays that down to the original
owner of the land. Then he exc
cutes second mortgage to the orig
inal owner, this mortgage to come due,
say, In ten years. The first mortgage
under the amortization plan will be
gradually reduced each year and the
required payments hereunder will be
gradually reduced each year and the
required payments Hereunder will be
SO small as not to menace the ulti-
mate security Of the second mortgage.
This will be an advantageous ar
rangement for both parties.
The original owner will get 30 per
cent cash payment for his land, which
lie more than he would ordinarily get
in real estate transaction. The
tenant will find that, unless he has
paid an unduly high price for his
land, his annual payments to retire
both his first and second mortgages
will not be as great as the rent pre-
viously paid.
In some Of the states second mort
gage banks are already being formed
by private individuals to lend money
to landless people Of proper character
who want to buy farms and who have
not saved the 80 per cent as a nest
egg. 1t is believed by financiers that
men with farming ability and integ-
rity will not have difficulty in getting
the proposition financed. It depends
on the character of the
borrower.
Editors note: Tomorrow's INSTALL
ment will have to do with the social
effect of the application Of the farm
loan act.

American Hemp-a New
Crop and a Weed Fighter
Department.,
10y J. G. Haney, Agricultural Exte nsion
international

Of hemp for this region would be in
the neighborhood Of six feet, al
though some Of ours grew as high as
10 feet this year.
Apparently hemp, being warm
climate plant, should have, for its
proper development, practically the
same conditions Of soil AMI climate as
corn. That is, the soil should be well
prepared, and the seed planted after
the weather is sufficiently warm to in
sure 1t making quick start. May 20
to rs will perhaps be about the proper
date for seeding.
After the seed is sown, which is
done with a grain drill, the same as
small grain, therS is nothing more to
be done to the crop until 1t is ready
to harvest, at about frost time, Sept,
10 to Is.
It is probable that under favorable
conditions fall blowing might be ex-
pected to give the best results. This
would perhaps be true IL the land were
infested with quack grass, or other
weeds, as the fall blowing would
doubtless tend to weaken these to a
greater extent than spring blowing.
However, 1t would be essential that
such land be given thorough treat
ment, just as the hemp is planted, so
that the hemp might get quick
start. Those who have grown 1t say
that there is absolutely no question
about hemp entirely eradicating quack
grass, If it is property handled. 1t
might, under some conditions, require
two years to do this, although 1t has
been known to kill it out absolutely
in one year.
Hemp, for the best of fibre, should
be cut at a stage Of growth that is
determined by the bloom. Hemp, when
grown for fibre, does not produce seed.
In fact, hemp seed production is en-
tirely different from fibre production,
and doubtless will be confined to more
southerly sections.
The hemp on oul farms last year
was cut with q self rake reaper and
thrown off in gavels, and spread in
windows for curing. However, ma
chinery is developed which will do
