have begun TO settle down from the
past war deflation. Had The law not
been held largely imperative while its
constitutionality was being tested in
b courts, they believe it would have
been a more marked influence in help
ing the farmers through the deflatiOn.
In view Of the fact that the govern
ment is now embarking on Il second
venture in the field of farm finance
by setting up through the same twelve
land banks "A ley system of interme-
diate credit banks to handle redis-
counting 90 agricultural paper. such
as warehouse receipts or grain or cot
ton, or cattle paper, it is pertinent to
inquire into the results of the first
plan.
The most interesting phase is the
in which farmers have taken
advantage of the government land
banks in the placing of mortgages.
The first of the yea the twelve banks
had placed $40 million dollars in farm
mortgages, and in two months since
then the total has gone to about 700
million. In addition, the joint stock
land banks, the private banking cor
poratiOns permitted to be set up under
supervision of the federal farm loan
Dodru, Win the privilege or lSSulng
tax exempt debentures based on farm
mortgages, have placed about 300 mil
lion dollars in farm mortgages. By
midsummer at the present rate of
growth, the combined system will rep
resent close to a billion dollars in
farm mortgages placed through the
government agency.
What the total amount OF farm
mortgages on land the country over is,
Is a matter of estimate. Officials of
h farm loan banks place their es-
timate at between 6 billion and s
billion dollars, so that the government
system in the short space of time it
has been functioning now handles
around 10 per cent of the business.
In rich agricultural communities
where the insurance companies form
erly bid z%ealously for the business as
the best risks to be had in the way
of loans. the effect of the government
competition has been slight. In other
communities. especially in the west.
