naturally be adapted best to help the farmer.
In its simplicity, the system means that the
farmer viii be able to borrow money easily ana
quickly and surely for financing his work. All
that he will have to do is to make appreciation to
this farm loan bank Tor the amount Of money
which he wishes to borrow, and to offer as Sc
curity first liens on his farm land, stock or i'm
nements. BY his application for the loan he
automatically becomes d member in the farm
loan bank himsef. He is required to apply
five per cent Of his loan to the purchase of the
capital stock in the bank itself which, Of course.
pays him a dividend. When he has paid back
his loan with the interest, he automatically
ceases to be member Of the bank; the five per
cent which he has invested in the bank is re-
turned to him. and he is Just where be started
except that he has had the money to use.
Its advantages are obvious. The bank stands
ready to help farmers ana agricultural men
alone: nothing but farm property viii be ac-
ceptabe as collateral. Only those men who want
borrow money and who wish to get it for ag-
ricutural purposes will consequently find it
possible to join the bank and on the other hand
every one in the bank will be there for the
same purpose,-namely, to borrow money. The
bank puts maximum limit to the amount that
any one farmer may borrow at any one time
$4,000.
Aside from the fact that the bank establishes
ready source Of money for the farmer who can
offer this first lien collateral it also viii serve
he banks Of the community in good stead. What
ever farm paper the local banks may be holding
will be accepted by this farm loan bank, as we
understand it, ON the face value, and Govern
ment paper-cash, in other words,-will be
given for it. Such a conversion means that the
banks IAN always secure ready money fGl their
customers when it is needed All that has to be
done is to tnln the farm paper into the Earn
bank and get the money for it. Afterwards he
reverse exchange may be made if desired.
Farmers pay five and half per cent on the
loans, which is slightly under the common rate
