Doe* It pay to pnlnt carefully farm buildings? Does It add to the selling value of a farm when buildings are properly kept up and regularly paint ed? A careful Inquiry of a number of leading bankers In the Mississippi val ley, Including such states us lowa, Illi nois, Michigan, Ohio, Indlnna and Mis souri, revests the fsct tlist In nearly •very case the bunkers did not hesi tate to say that they would lend all the way from 6 to 60 per cent more on land where fnrm building* wer* well painted and kept In good condition. They maintain that well kept-up and well painted buildings and fence* are •n Indication of thrift and that the thrifty farmer la a good client, and to him money can -fiesafely louned. An average of the returna from these bankers shows thst the Incressed loan value because of painted building* la around 22 per cent Rome of these bankers make Inter esting comment A Michigan concern ■ays that, while not especially pre pared to advise detinltcly In response to this Inquiry, the ofllrers would loan more money on fsruis where buildings were painted then where they wore not so treated. This bank also flnda that where liouaes, barns and fence* are well taken care of the farm la a profitable proposition, and bankers In general consider the farmer a good client Another Michigan bank says "farm building* out of repair and needing paint indicate that the owner la alow pay." Such farms ere rated at about one-third of the assessed value to r loans. Where the farm buildings •re In good shape the rating Is one halt. The president of a middle west ern bank says tliut when real estate loan* are considered, pnlnted building* •re always taken into consideration In making an estimate.

He further say* that he has no hesitancy In saying thnt be would.ab solutely refuse a loan on farms where the buildings were not kept np and well painted. In his Judgment un palnted farm buildings would reduce the loan value at least 2.1 per cent A Minnesota banker say* that h* Is ■rod) more wljllng to loan money where ths buildings are well painted. In his particular case he believe* thnt he would loan 20 per cent more than If the building* were not properly taken care of. A fnrtner who will keep bis building* painted tnkes a much deeper Interest ,n his work than one who does not Another Minne sota bank says that well painted build ings have resulted In tecurlng from hi* bank sometimes a* high as 23 per cent more money than where the buildings are not painted. An Ohio concern says that It will loan 23 per cent more money on a well kept farm where buildings are painted at least once every live years. A southern Illi nois bank says that It has no fixed rule about this, but It does make a de cided difference when owner* of farm lands apply for loans. If the buildings are well painted and thus well pre served the loan rate would not only bo cheaper, but the amount of money borrowed would be larger. A northern Illinois bank does not hesitate to say that It would loan fully 60 per cent, more on a farm where buildings were well painted and In good order than where they were not Ths vice presi dent, wj>o iHfwsrs tt|| Inquiry, foes Franklin's Spring Street Hoioeln Philadelphia sHEEKCwm |J.
