We hold that it would not be good
policy to publish a prediction of a
great dHouth that would seriously dam
age large section of the country. That
might cause large increase in the
cost OF farm products and great dam
age millions OF people. Nor would It
be good policy to predict an unusually
large production of crops. That might
damage the producers by putting prices
down. The only practical method We
know is to communicate, privately,
with subscribers of the papers that
publish out work. The crop season of
1917 will be extreme.

The Social and Economic
Effect of the Farm Loan Act
(6y Frank
CArtce Sx)

The main points of the federal farm
Ioan act have been set forth in the pre-
ceding instruments. The reader will
readily see that this act is a new thing
an important effect on our social and
financial life
Let us briefly suggest some of its
possible effects:
The rapidly increasing cost of living
has OF late given American thinkers a
great deal of uneasiness. The fact is
everywhere recognized that our city
population has been increasing more
rapidly than the rural population. Ev-
cry day there are some more mouths to
feed, but there is only a slowly in
creased acreage upon which this food
is produced. Two important facts are
First, more farms must be establish
ed to provide homes for more produc-
ers, and, second, the land under culti-
walton must be farmed more carefully
and with more and better equipment to
meet the growing demand for food.
The farm loan act will have a strong
influence toward "a realization of both
of these ideals.
worst effects are lowered fertility and
inefficient farm methods. The tenant
is not normal farmer. The transient
nature of his living makes maximum
production impossible He is often not
meat producer, because he is not on
one farm long enough to build up a
herd of livestock. He is a grain farm
err, and grain farmer is a sapper of
fertility. He is engaged in the pastime
of hauling the fertility of his landlords
soil to market. With approximately
one-half of the farm lands of the coun-
try in the hands of tenants, America is
cashing in her land fertility at an
amazing rate.
The farm loan act has for one of it's
important purposes the placing of land
into the hands of owners who will farm
1t with the inspiration that comes from
ownership. The owner of land treats
1t so as to conserve its fertility He is
permanent fixture in the neighbor-
hood. He markets his crop through his
livestock, returning the fertility to the
soil. nation of land owners means a
nation with constantly increasing
pie.
But the farm loan act will do more
for agriculture than merely supplying
cheap money. The act actually speci-
fies how the money borrowed shall be
spent. 1t says that unless used to pay
debts, it shall be spent on things that
will contribute to more production on

as many hours. practically. and yet
have not got 1t laid aside anywhere
very much. The state Of North Da-
kota, according to the authorities we
have, is between two hundred and
three hundred million dollars in debt
to put it roughly. So you have got 1t
stored away.
well, then it looks as II we don't
understand very much about what is
going on today. AS if there is some
thing radically wrong. If we can pro-
duce a hundred times more than they
could fifty years ago, and don't eat
any more food than they did then or
wear any more clothes than they did
then. or live in houses that are very
much better or drink any more-it
looks as If we are going to drink less

am going to see If we can find out
something about what is the matter.
Fifty years ago you could not produce
very much and you were not vary far
in debt. Today you can produce a
great deal and are further in debt, and
the country is full 'of miIlionaires.
Just take these things and put them
together. Think these things over,
an ulnIelllSenC men can uraW conclu-
sions.
We'll, the majority OF this audience
have spent the bigger part of their
time out there in the country produc-
ing grain and cattle. This year in
North Dakota we raised q whole lot
of a peculiar kind of grain. Some of
you may have heard of it. They call
it d feed, or feed D wheat Know
about it? think you do"
Mr.. Townley then emphasized the
facts brought out relative to the pres
ent system of grain grading. He spoke
OF the dockage and said that he
had an opportunity to see some fig
ures relative to dockage in 1912, which
he stated amounted to $4,500,000. THE
dirt and weed, seeds screened from the
farmers wheat sold at $12 ton" said
the speaker.
Mr.. Townley continued:
We'll, now I think you will begin
to understand what is the matter with
us-where the money comes from that
makes the millionaif es-why the farm
is not all paid for-why the farmers
are not out of debt-and why they still
have to keep on working when old and

the same acreage. So the farm loan
act means a higher and better type of
agriculture.
But some students of the act believe

er for the sake of getting. cheaper
money, they will also form the habit
of cooperating in other problems of
common interest. Who knows but that
these cooperative associations may
become Nthe business and social units
OF farm society?
The financial saving to the farmers
of America would alone be enough to
justify this enactment. On a volume
of ,000,000,000 our farmers are pay
all of which is tax on all the people
because it limits consumption by ham
dicapping the producer If this rate
should be reduced by per cent. 1t
of $3.50, 100000. But this estimate of
the money to be saved does not take
into consideration the fact that the
normal volume of farm loan business
will greatly increase with an advaTl-
tageous interest rate.
The success of the farm loan bank
ing system is now up to the farmers
themselves. They have been given the

viduals. They have been given the

ually none but the farmers may have
voting power.
Yes, the federal farm loan act is
somewhat revolutionary. 1t upsets all
past practices in farm finance. 1t puts
the interests of the majority above the
interest of the few. 1t gives the under
dog a chance. 1t writes humanity first
across the ledger of modern business
Editors note: These articles on the
farm loan act have been necessarily
brief. There are many details about the
application of the act that could not be
recorded here. The farm loan board
has issued five bulletins containing all
this information; and IL any reader OF
The Forum is interested in receiving
them, a letter addressed to this office OF
to the farm loan board at Washing
ton, D. c., will bring them to you free
of charge.

When Friday morning arrived it was
announced that Mr.. Townley could not

In leading up to his address Mr..
Townley remarked at the change that
has come over the Tri-statS Grain

couple of years, calling particular at

time is now given to economic ques-

farming within the last generation and
