to collect himself, and he saw his line
of action clearly.

approving sort of voice. Capital,

NEED V|S|0NED
Agricultural Economist Sees
100000 More People
In u. S. by 1910.

"Of all the factors that influence
the future need for farm land only
one can be measured with any pre-
cision-namely, the population of the
Nation DR.. o. E. Baker, Department
of Agriculture economist, declares.
1T is practically certain" he said,
"that between now and January l,
1910, the increase of population will
be 100000 to 100000 and be-
tween 1910 and 1850 it may increase
by as much more. At three acres of
crops harvested per person this means
that 100000 to 100000 more
acres of crops would be needed by
1910 and 100000 to 30,OO0O00
acres by 1850 than are required for
our present population, other factors
remaining equal. The present re-
quirement, however, is much less
than the acreage now in cultivation.
Hence, no net increase in acreage de-
voted to crops may be necessary
Should the diet shift from animal
products toward more cereals or
sugar, or should exports of farm
products decline further" he con-
tinued, less land would be needed
than would otherwise be required.
However, per capita consumption of
farm products, considered as whole,
has changed very little during third
of a century, and it appears that
new level in exports of farm products
has almost been reached.
Whatever net change may occur
In the crop acreage necessary to
supply our requirements for domestic
consumption and exports, many mil
lions of acres of land will 60 out of
use for crops in certain regions be-
cause of physical and economic dis
advantages, and many millions of
acres will come into use for crops in
other regions"
Discussing "the poor land pro-
gram" Dr. Baker said that the pro-
posal to purchase poor land, some
times called submarginal land, is in
accord with the trend of declining
crop acreage in the originally forested
Eastern and Southern portions of the
United States during the decade
1920 to 1880" lie said: Il believe
in the poor or submarginal land pro-
gram because there are millions of
farm people whose land is capable
of maintaining only meager stand
ard of living; because the poor land
program will conserve natural as we'll
as human resources, and because the
program will in many places help to
reduce taxation The subsistence
homesteads policy also deserves sup
port because it will benefit both city
people and farmers"

estate. In times of panic, investment
funds would, therefore, flow to these
bonds. The bank would thus be-
come a great stabilizing agency for
real estate credit, and hence for real
estate values.
There is an inherited weakness
in our mortgage structure due to the
fact that there is little real long-term
money available in the country. The
bank would provide a steady flow of
credit, capable of expansion or con-
traction. Provision against periodic
drying up of real estate credit, which
causes collapse of real estate values,
is Of serious moment not only for
home owners and other holders of
real estate, and financing agencies
lOanlng on real estate, but also for
all governmental agencies, since local
governments are supported by tax
funds obtained largely from realty.
The collapse of realty values disturbs
the basis of bond issues of State and
municipal governments throughout
the country. Re-establishment of

investments and for new enterprises,
is a basic problem which must be
attacked and solved before there can
be recovery.
knowledge of the creation of such
a bank as is proposed would have
immediate effect upon all existing
mortgage lending agencies. Lending
agencies now fearful of investing
funds because of the necessity of
maintaining an extraordinary liquid
ity would recognize that on sound
and conservative mortgages they
would have place of sale and could.
consequently, lend funds now unem-
ployed.
The bank would fit in with emer-
gency needs. For example, the Re-
construction Finance Corporation now
will lend funds for the purpose of
new construction. These funds. how
ever, are short-term funds and must
be repaid through heavy amortiza-
ton in very few years. Permanent
real estate financing will not permit
such heavy repayment of capital in
vestment. These Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation funds could well
be used during the construction
period of the building and upon the
completion of the improvement. the
mortgage. if a sound one, would be
salable to the Federal Mortgage Bank.
THE bank likewise could cooper
ate in the housing projects for the
low wage groups, and through its good
Offices take mortgages when construc-
tion was completed, thus insuring
that the emergency funds would be-
come revolving instead of being tied
up permanently in the enterprise for
which they were appropriated
