The Farmers Mortgage Passing

a ARON SAPlRO, legal counsel for more
4 than fifty crop cooperative associa-
tons, thinks that the day of the farmers
mortgage on his lands or crops to finance
his business is passing. He reaches the con-
clusion that this enslavcmcnt of the farmer
is about TO end, as Il result of the recent loan
made by the War Finance Corporation to
leading farmers cooperative association
for the purpose Of financing export trade.
The Finance Corporation. which is really
the Federal government, the corporation
being merely an agency through which the
government gives financial assistance to pri-
vate business. has agreed TO lend $3225O
600 10 these societies. largely upon their
showing of close and efficient organiza-
ton OF farmer members.
The example OF the California fruit grow
ers is cited as having provided an impress
sive lesson. These growers are so closely
organized in cooperative marketing assoc
Citations that their crop prospect has a def
mite value. which is good for the credit they
must have. The banks have recognized the
power OF the mar keting organization TO Sc
cure prices which will not be influenced nv
