SIMILAR GAINS ELSEWHERE

Similar gains have been report ed by most of the 1000 other ten ant families which have bought their own farmsteads in the last two years with FSA help.
 To the taxpayer, however, the most important fact is that these people chosen from one of the neediest groups in the nation-are repaying their loans before the date due Installments have fallen due; but already nearly $139,00O has been paid into the Federal Treasury.
 In other words, collections have amounted to 135 percent of ma- turtles, because many of the bor- rowers are working vigorously to pay off their debt in advance, There is every prospect that all of these tenant purchase loans will be repaid in full, with three per- cent interest; and that the govern ment's attack on the evils of farm tenancy will not cost the taxpayer a single penny.
 Actually, this repayment rec ord is not at all surprising, be- cause the great majority Of the borrowers are paying for their farms with annual installments which are smaller than the rent they used to pay on the sa m e property Moreover, they are work- ing with new enthusiasm and in.- centive, because they are working for themselves, instead of for an absentee landlord.

A LONG WAY TO GO

So far, however, complete so- lution for Americas farm tenancy problem is nowhere in sight. Con- gress has provided for gradual expansion of the Bankhead- Jones program, to the point where it vill help about 10000 families a year to buy their own farms. Even if
The Daily Alaska empire., 1939-07-29

the tenancy problem were growing no worse, it would be many gener- ations before this program could re-establish the nations farmers on their own land.
 Unfortunately, the problem is growing worse. Nearly half of all the farmers in this country al- ready are renters or sharecroppeIs s, and the number Of tenant families is increasing at the rate of abou; 40,0O0 year. With it's present limited resources, the Farm Se- curity Administration cannot even halt the increase in farm tenancy, much less help the 2,800O00 fam lilies who already have fallen into a tenant status.
 Department of Agriculture of ficials are not discouraged, how ever. A start has been made, and they feel that it has proved to be a thoroughly sound one, which in- wolves virtually no cost to the government. When the country is ready for it, the machinery is set up for a really large-scale attack on the evils Of farm tenancy.

Throughout the entire year, the unit

BILE for any vegetation to exist under
such trying conditions, The banks
around oil the ponds and brook
should be graded and planted and
the ponds themselves should be

wading pool and hockey rink. In
fact we have plans drawn for such
an improvement In the event the
necessary funds are appropriated,
II seems that the rehabilitation Of
