1t will be seen that the woman had
paid, not counting the eXtravagant
improyem ents on the land, just about
as much cash as the land was worth,
and had given in addition $500 in
the way of a mortgage and $4,000 in
trade. She wanted a loan of $500,
but our appraisement cut the loan
down to $500, which she could not
accept, because she was already too
deeply involved through the wiles of
the real estate agent.
Another member of this associa-
ton applied for $1,000 and offered as
security a farm of 100 acres, which
he had recently purchased for $4,000.
The soil is thin clay and the topog-
raphy is rolling and broken. The
federal land bank was able to offer
him only $3.50.
The history of these two loans
shows the bearing of an economic
valuation of land in regions where
the speculative elem ent in values Is
very large. The president of the land
bank, in reporting on this case, says:
In this section the real estate men
have been very busy selling land to
people in the cities, encouraging
them to become farmers. The pur-
chase price in many instances repre-
sents a trade value rather than real
cash value, and very often the people
from the city, being unfamiliar with
values, pay much more than the land
is worth. Every member of our ex-
ecutiye committee is more than anx-
ious to be fair and give every appli-
cant all they are really entitled to.
In fact, | sometimes think we are
oyerzealous in this regard. Is 1t the
opinion Of the farm loan board that
We should grant a re-appraisal In
cases of this sort?"
In many of these cases re-apprais-
ais have been ordered. not only once
but twice, or even oftener. These
people regard these values as shock
ing. They can not believe that they
have been 50 terribly yictlmized, and
when the matter is put before them
plainly they utterly refuse to belieV
it after it is proven. In almost every
case a REIMBURSEMENT confirms the
first appraisement. These land
values can not stand in the clear,
cold light of an appraisement which
must, according to the law, BIO made
according TO the productive value Of
the land. which shall always be tho
principal consideration. This, OF
course, is the productive value which
the land has under the system OF ag-

be rather in the direction Of stabiliz-
ing them with reference to the pro-
ductive value Of lands.
In some parts of the country farm
are are refusing or protesting against
loans offered by the federal farm
loan bureau for two reasons: first.
that the acceptance of the govern
ment appraisements would be "a
black eye to the neighborhood: Sec
ond, that the loans which can be Of
fered under such appralsements are
not sufficient to refund the outstand-
ing mortgages already on the land.
This is because nominal or specu-
lative values have advanced beyond
real values.
The supreme pest of agriculture in
undeyeioped regions is the unscrup-
ulous 'colonizer." He finds his way
into the factories, shops, and offices
of the cities, and he makes his way
among the tenant farmers of the full
ly developed farming regions, to lure
Observation-Disclosures and tenant farm
ers to the new and unfamiliar re-
gions, locating these victims upon
lands which either have no agricul-
tural value or value limited to GER

ket has not been established, or
where the climate is unhealthful, or
where the cost and expense of recla-

ing, the coloni2er surrounds his lands

sell the land for much more than
it is worth, and leaves the poor set
tier to sink or swim as fate shall
dictate.
Here is case in point: A certain
farm loan association, the members
of which are mostly intelligent, in
dustrious people, engaged in poultry
farming and some other lines of agri-
culture The association had at the
beginning 8 charter members, and
the total loans approved by the local
loan committee amounted to S27,-
100. When the appraiser of the fed
eral farm loan system visited these
lands he was unable to recon mend
loans to the aggregate of more than
$4,000. One woman with 202 acres
had go acres in actual cultivation,
l42 acres in timber or forest growth,
a $4,000 house, and $3.50 barn. She
had paid $4,000 for this land, of
which $1,000 was in cash, had given
Il $500 mortgage, and traded in
property at IA figure of $4,000. She
wanted loan of $4,000. Our APP

Hazel heard him rattling pots and
dishes, whistling cheerfully the while.

There seemed to be some adjunct of a

no stop. If anything, he increased his
pace.
Suddenly. In the late afternoon, they
stepped out of the timber into little
clearing. in which the blurred outline

leaped and cracked into the wide
throat of the chimney. Then he piled
on more wood. and turned to her.
''This is the house that Jack built"
he said with sober face and a
twinkle In his gray eyes. "This is the
man that lives in the house that Jack
