mean at least a partial realization
of these ideals.
If the farm loan act will reduce
the percentage of tenantry in the
United States it will have accom-
pilshed a great deal toward putting
American agriculture on a more sub
stantial basis.
More than half of the farms of the
United States are now in the hands
of tenants. The tenant is a transient
| farmer and the temporary nature of
his operations prevents him from op-
Grating at maximum capacity Short
leases make it out of the question for
him to be a large meat producer The
Tenant is usually a grain farmer,
and in many sections of the country a
single cropper He is engaged in
hauling the fertility of his landlords
soil to market.
The farm owner cOnserves the fer
tility of his soil by marketing his
crop through his live stock and re-
turning the fertility to the land. A
nation of land owners means a nation
with Il constantly increasing capacity
to produce food for its people.
A reduction of farm tenantry and a
|
ers means improved social conditions
in the country and more permanent
form of country life.
Since the farm loan act provides
how the borrowed money shall be
spent and limits it's use to purposes
that make farms more productive, it
is bound to have an elevating influ-
ence on the standard or agriculture
in the United States.
Every borrower under the Farm
loan act makes it a part of his con-
tract that he will use the money eth
er to reduce existing Indebtedness or
in some way that will contribute to
greater production on the same num-
Der of acres.
Since the formation of these small
groups of farms is the foundation up
on which the farm loan system is
built, it is apparent that this legisla-
ton will foster the spirit of co-opera-
ton among farmers. When farmers
put their mortgages together for the
sake of cheaper money il is reason
able to presume that they will form
the habit of cooperation in other
problems of common interest.
The present farm loan Indebtedness
of the United States is probably APP
proximately four billion dollars, and
the average interest rate now charged
is between Sh and per cent. If
the farm loan act would reduce the
interest rate of the United States by
A per cent it would mean a finincial
saving to the farmers of between one
hundred and fifty and two hundred
million dollars per year, and this es-
innate of saving takes. no account of
the fact that high interest rates have
reduced the volume of farm loan in
debtedness far below what it will be
when lower rate is established.
High interest rates and unfavor-
able terms of farm mortgages have
been a serious handicap to farm de-
velopment. Curtailing farm produc-
ton has taxed the consumer as well
as the producer because the limited
production of food gave an increased
advantage to the food Spectator.
The farm loan act is, in a measure
