Livestock corporations may now
become members of National Farm
Loan Associations and borrow from
the Federal Land Bank, says Presi-
dent Roy A. Nelson Of the st. Paul
bank. This authority is given in
the farm credit act of 1885.
There are 2 principal require
ments, one being that the owners
of at least IS per cent in value and
number of shares of the livestock
corporation assume personal ha-
bility for the loan. The other is
that generally all the stock of the
corporation must be owned by in
dividuals who themselves are per-
sonally actually engaged in raising
livestock on the land to be mort
gagged as security for the loan. In
regard to the later point the land
bank commissioner may in his dis
cretion permit loan to be made to
a corporation whose stock is only
Is per cent owned by such actual
livestock raisers.
In cases where all the corporation
stock is owned by the actual pro-
ducers the local National Farm
Loan Association may vote men,
bership to the corporation as in the
case of individuals, but where only
rs per cent of the stock is owned
the application is submitted to
Washington as in the case of apli-
cations for loans of $25 900 or more.
If the loan is approved and the
livestock corporation becomes a
member of the National Farm Loan
Association it designates one of its
shareholders to act for it in all as
sociation matters and provides him
with a power of attorney for that
purpose. This representative may
also be elected a director of the
National Farm Loan Association
provided he is a bona fide resident
of the area within which the as
socation functions.
If livestock corporation which
is eligible for federal land bank
loan purchases property mortgaged
to a Federal Lamb Bank, the cor
poration may, with the approval of
the bank, assume the mortgage and
stock interests Of the person from
whom it buys the property.

In recent years Louisiana, Cali
fornia and Florida in this country,
also Quebec and Ontario in Cana
da, have reported commercial
silkworm industry. It has also been
tried in other states with but little
success. In colonial days 1t was
introduced into the southern section
and New England, but was allowed
to languish and there have been
several attempts to revive 1t. The
chief difficulties have been the long
hours and extreme patience re-
Quired to establish an industry that
can compete with cheap Oriental
and European labor: also the fact
that the best kind of mulberry
tree for silkworms Is too tender for
our northern states.

Estate and Inheritance Taxes

Estate and inheritance taxes are
among the most ancient means of
raising revenue for government. A
death duty was collected more than
$500 years ago in Egypt. Angus
tus introduced the tax in Rome for
the support Of his army more than
1900 years ago. Some kind of
estate or inheritance tax Is collect
ed in virtually every civilized coun-
try. An estate tax was imposed
by our federal government as early
as 1896. It was repealed five
years later, to be reimposed dur
ing the Civil war and again to
help pay for the Spanish war In
1898. Pennsylvania imposed a
death duty in 1926 and this expert
ment has been followed by the
great majority Of the states.
