ORT-TIME FARM
LOANS TAKE lower
RATES OF INTEREST

Interest rates on short-time loans
for agricultural purposes in the
United States have declined mate
rally in the last 10 yers, particularly
in regions where the cost Of such
loans was formerly very high. This
is revealed by extensive credit infOr-
nation which the department of ag
riculture has obtained from all parts
Of the country. The decline has been
most marked in the Southern and
Mountain states. In Oklahoma the
average rate on short-term bank loans
declined as much as &c per cent from
1914 to 1928. In the same period the
average rate declined 1.6 per cent
in Alabama and / per cent in Wyom-
ing. Nevertheless, interest rates on
short term agricultural loans are still
relatively high in some sections, says
| the department.
Still High in West
Rates are especially high in regions
where the demand for capital exceeds
the supply and where the risk on
loans is exceptionally great. Where
savings are deficient and it is neces-
sary to bring in capital from outside
sources higher charges must be made
to cover the additional costs Of the
financing. Rates are accordingly
higher generally in the West than in
the East. Additional charges also arc
higher in regions where the supply
of lOanable funds is relatively low
These additional charges are of vari-
Gus kinds. They include commissions
minimum balance requirements, anc
the collection Of interest in advance
Such additional charges are sometimes
resorted to as a means Of evadinl
usury laws. In fact, it has been shOwI
that usury laws can not be enforced
because of the ease with which ther
intent can be evaded by extra charge
that do not show in nominal interes
rates.
Tendency to Fall
Yet there is a tendency for extr
costs, as well as interest rates proper
to fall. Thus only 3.3 per cent Of tn
banks in the country made use D
minimum balance requirements i
1928, as compared with 6 per cent j
1920. Only "a per cent of the bank
in 1923 were collecting interest j
