POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF FARM
LOAN LAW

Discussing the social and economic
effects Of the farm loan act, Frank r.
Wilson OF the Federal Farm Loan Ru-
reau writes as follows:
rThe rapidly increasing cost Of hy'
ing has OF late given American think
ers great deal OK uneasiness. The
fact Is everywhere recognized that our
city population has been Increasing
more RAPIDLY than the rural ponala-
tion. Every day there are some more
mouths 10 feed but there is only a
slowly increased acreage upon which
this food is produced. pwo'important
facts are therefore patent;
FIRST. more farms must be estah
lished to provide homes for more pro.
ducers. and, second the land under
cultivation must be farmed more care
fully and with more and better equip
ment to meet the growing demand for
food
"The farm loan act will have a
strong influence toward realization
Of both Of these ideals.
Farm tenantry is curse whose
worst effects are lowered fertility and
inefficient farm methods The tenant
is not a 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
q herd Of livestock. He is grain far,
mer, and grain farmer is a sapper Of
fertility. He is engaged in the pas
time OF hauling the fertility OF his
landlords soil ia. market With an
proximately one-half Of the farm lands
of the country in the hands Of tenants,
America is cashing in her land fertil-
ity at an amazing rate.
"The farm loan act has fore one Of
Its important purposes the placing Of
land into the hands of owners who viii

from ownership. The owner Of land
treats It so as to conserve its fertility.
He is a permanent fixture in the
