Loan Limit Must Be Raised At Once
to Avert Wholesale Farm Failure
Farm Bureau Federation Finds That
Agrlculturists Ae in No Condition
to Llqmdate Debts March 1st
Especial to Leader Enterprise)
BY ROBERT FULLER
Autocaster Service

CHICAGO, Nov. l6-A wholesale
bankruptcy among Middle western
farmers threatens on March 1st, 1928
unless immediately steps are taken tc
provide machinery for advancing a
long time credit to agriculture.
Whatever happens on March 1st II
cannot be liquidation of presen,
debts, according to statement lust
issued by II. W. Moorhouse, director
OF the Research Department of the
American Farm Bureau Federation
a new credit arrangement will save
farmers from bankruptcy and permi,
rcfunding.
Mr.. Moorhouse points out that the
total farm mortgage debt is now est
mated to be- around $S,O00,0OO, 600
his represents an increase of 1872 ner
cent since 1910. The biggest volume OF
loans is in Iowa. Fifty-eight per cent
or the loans are outstanding in the
twelve East North-Central and West
North Central States.
great part of these loans are in
the form OF five year mortgages and
were taken out during the early DAVIS
OF the war i'll order to make possible

ment for the armies.
Present Farm Loan Limits
Big Operations
In discussing the present credit svs-
tenn, Mr. Moorhouse report shows
that the Federal Farm Loan system
has served very effectively in financing
small land farmers. Federal Land
Banks at present can loan but $4,000
to one person.
This limitation bars farmers oper-
atlng the most economical farm units
IN the greatest food producing areas
IN the United States. The Federal
Farm Loan Act does not limit the
amount of the loan that can be made
by the Joint Land Banks, but the
Federal Farm Loan Board has i'm
posed the limitation of $50,000
The Federal Farm Loan System
provides for loans OH farm land for
maximum period of forty years and
for the payment OF the loan on the
'nstallment basis sprerad over the en-
tire loan period. The initial stock oil
the twelve Federal Land Banks was
supplied iii the first instance by the
United States Government, but has
gradually been purchased by the Dor
rowers from the banks until the am
cunt of stock owned by the Govern
ment is about eighth or S4,000,00C
oet of $32,000,000"
Saving of $50 on
Annual Interest Payments
Mr.. Morehouse emphasizes the nee
essity for passing legislation which
will remve the $4,000 loan limit from
the Federal Farm Loan Banks. with
the removal of this limit farmers can
make their loans thru this agency and
will be able to re-fnance their bust
ness. On a total Indebtedness OF
Sc, 000,000,000 the farmers are paying
an average yearly interest of 49,
They are paying in interest $60O,000,-
/ 600 year With the $4,000 loan limit
removed from the Federal Banks and
farmer loans transferred to this agen-
cy there would be saving in interest
rates alone of over 5000 100000 a wear.

he proposed to end the labor siSlke in the coal mines
OF the nation, because IL was imperiling the health,
happiness and prosperity of the people. He di.
rected the governors of the different coal producing
states to open their mines under the stars and
stripes If necessary, and at once. Governor CAREY
was quick to get into the papers upon the ground
that he would obey the direction of the president.
A meeting was called at Cheyenne, this Of the mine
and miners. The miners stated their at
ttude and the operators presented their position,
in both instances unchanged since April 1 this year.
The governor announced that something must be
done and that he would extend the present misun-
Outstanding for a period of thirty days-until two
days after the primaries, when he would know bet
ter how to act from a political point of view. Little
consideration was given TO the fact that n,OO0 men
are out of employment in Wyoming because they
have no grounds upon which to arrange a wage
"a greement. except by breaking away from their ma
leional organizations, that he the governor, could
have brought these men into agreement by obeying
the presidents order. August is the heaviest month
The wages of IL 900 men for a period of thirty days
amounts to nearly s~2,75O,0OO which should have been
paid 10 Wyoming citizens. 1 say no consideration
has been given the vital issue from the peoples
standpoint. Apparently we must give greater con
sideration to the Importance Of the election, or re
election of a governor.
JOHN HAY bases his campaign upon a promise
to reduce expenditures. ROBERT CAREY bases his cam-
paign upon the accomplishment of the state and
says he has done il all and has done his best,
Why changer If he has done his best, let's try
someone else. Our tax burden would make a

John had barely reached the sur
face before the well filled to within a
foot Of the top and then began to
freeze around the edges. In a short
time only q small opening perhaps a
foot in diameter remained.
The well remains the same way
year after year. During the day in
summer the sun melts the ice around
the top. but at night It freezes again.
The well. which furnishes a perman-
ent ica supply for the people in the
neighhorhood. is a strange freak of
nature. OF which there are so many
in the western part of the State.
Tourists who visit the reservation
regard it as a great curiosity.

CALVIN COOLIDGE has endeared himself to the Ameri
