SAYS YSFARMERS ARE
EXTORT|0N VICTIMS
Secretary Wallace to Lay
Methods of Loan Firms Be-
fore Conference.

Determination to lay before the
National Agricultural Conference next
week the thoroughly selfish and
different sorts which loan money on
farm mortgages" was announced to-
day by Secretary Wallace.
Declaring that many farmers who
have never done so before are having
to mortgage their lands in order to
get necessary money. Secretary Wal
lace said:
Notes Henrtless Extortion.
1T is discouraging to note tha,
many companies and individuals who
are in the business of loaning money
on farm mortgages are taking ad-
vantage of the farmers distress to
heartlessly extort a rate of interes,
and terms of loan which cannot be
justified"
Farmers, the Secretary said, were
being compelled to pay s, 6is and Z
per cent on five and ten year loans
without optional payments, and also
a commission of S or per cent
while in some cases as high as IL
per cent was being added.
The Secretary also charged that
many loan companies were cutting
down the amount they loan per acre
to the lowest possible point, thus re-
stricting the farmers credit at the
very time when it should be expanded
as far as may be done safely"
325 Delegates Accept Call.
Mr.. Wallace declared that no one
could find any fault with such re-
strictions in value of farms as may
be dictated by sound business judg-
ment and no one should object to q
fair rate Of interest; but, he added
sin this time of national stress one
finds it necessary to rigidly censor
his own words when speaking OF
some of the practices being followed
by altogether too many companies
and individuals engaged in the farm
mortgage business"
The Secretary announced4-that 32i
delegates had accepted Invitations tt
attend the conference. A total oi
of which 800 went to farmers and
farm groups. IS to state agricultural
officials, state agricultural colleges
and farm editors, and 81 to allied
industries.
Seventy-t three of the invitations
were declined and Al Of those invited
