RURAL CREDITS
PROVES SUCCESS
Twcnty-Six Million Loaned Since Law
Was Passed

Pierre, S d., Feb. 17.-South Dako-
ta's system of rural credits was organ
lied for the purpose Of giving to the
farmers cheap money and ON long
time, and this without profit to the
state. It is set forth In the prospectus
sent out to the applicants for loans
under the provisions OF the rural cred
its law.
Long time mortgages on farm lands
are the secret OF the maintenance OF
the system. The farmer is able to bor-
row direct from the state any amount
up to 20 per cent of the appraised
value of his land, on which he gives
the state a first mortgage maturing in
so years, and in addition he may bor-
row up to 40 per cent of the insured
value of improvements on the land.
However, no loan can be made of less
than $500 nor more than $40. 900 in all.
The farmer pays of his debt to the
state i'm fixed and regular annual in
stallments which pay both principal
and interest in a given term ot years.
This plan of amortization, by the adj
dition of a small amount to the inter-
est payment reduces the principal OF
the debt with each successive pay
ment so that the borrower is paying
interest on a constantly decreasing
principal. The rate Of interest is de-
termined by the rate of interest which
the rural credits board must pay in
order to sell it's bonds.
These farm loan bonds of the state
of South Dakota are backed by the
credit of the entire state. The state
sells the bonds in large blocks to large
eastern firms which in turn sell them
to investors throughout the United
| States The law provides that the
amount on hand in mortgages and
cash shall always equal SO per cent of
the bonds outstanding.
At present the rates of interest
which the borrower must pay is z per
CEN So the farmer makes an annual
payment of $S.06 on each 500 which
he borrows from the state; $500 OF his
payment heing the interest and Sf.G6
applied on the principal the first year.
The second year the principal is but
$685. "a, and the interest being less, a
larger portion of the payment is APP
piled on the principal. +
Loans have been made to farmers
at a rate of 5h per cent and up to the
present rate of z per cent. This has
been due 10 the fact that 1t became
necessary to sell the farm loan bonds
at rates of interest varying from Az
| per cent to SIT per cent.
An applicant for a loan must be
an actual resident of the state and
lowner or prospective owner of farm
land on which a long time mortgage
is to be placed.
The land offered as ~security is APP
praised upon the basis of its agricul-
tural or ranch value.
Since the fall OF 1917, approximate
ly $50, 000 900 in applications for cans
have been received, out of which about
$29, SOC, 900 has been loaned.
