Present Farm Loan Limits Big Opera
tiOns.
In discussing the present credit sys-
tenn, Mr.. Moofhouse's 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 operating the most economi-
cal farm units in the greatest food pro
ducing areas in the United States. The
Federal Farm Loan Act does not lin
it 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 $4,000.
'"The Federal Farm Loan system
provides fer loans on farm land for
a maximum period Of forty years a1le

for the payment of the loan on the in.
stallnent basis spread over the entire
loen period. The initial stock of the
twelve Federal Land Banks was sup
piled in the first instance by the Unit
ed States Government, but has grad
ually been purchased by the borrow
ers from the banks until the amount
of stock owned by the government is
about one-eighthaar s4,De. .oaa out of

Saving of 25% on Annual Interest
Payments.
Mr.. Moorhouse emphasizes the ne
cessity for passing legislation which
will remove the $4,000 loan limit from
the Federal Farm Loan aBnks. with
the removal of this limit farmers can
make their loans through this agency
and will be able to re-fnance their 5u-
siness. On total Indebtedness of S8,-
000,000,000 the farmers are paying an
average yearly interest of 7a9o. They
are paying in interest $600,000,000 a
year With the $4,000 loan limit re
moved from Federal Land Banks and
farmer loans transferred to this ager
cy there would be a saving in interest
rates alone of over $200,000,000 a
year.

tax for the year and adopting road
construction program which is about
two-thirds Of what was planned year
ago, and finishing up minor matters
of business, the county board adjourn
ed sine die last Friday afternoon. The
plans for next year include about ten
miles Of concrete read linking up vari-
Gus parts of the Trunk Road System
and connecting Arpin and Pittsville
with the concrete already built. While
this program is less than was desired
by some members it is rather more
than some of them wanted, and certain
parts of it met with determined oppo-
sition in various quarters still it was
felt that this was the fairest arjust-
ment and good majority of the mem
bers voted for it.
The following comparison of taxes
