THE RURAL CREDITS LAW Passed by Our Democratic Con gress in Interest of the Farmer. It is not unlikely tbat the farm loan bill which Woodrow Wilson's signa ture made law the other day will be considered some 'years hence as the greatest piece of constructive .legis lat'on in the last half century. The American farmer has suffered greatly because he has had to pay an outrag eous price for the money he borrowed. City brokers have no use for farm loans. They make their profits out of short term paper, turning over their money with the seasons, practically. The farmer must borrow for a long period. It takes years o raise a calf to be a steer and a colt to be a horse. Some of the machinery which he buys, such as a binder, he can use only a few days in the year. The remainder of the time it is idle. Anyone who reads the article of Clar ence Ousley, of the Agricultural Col lege of Texas, printed in this paper one month ago, has a fair idea of the tremendous burden placed upon the farmer by the high price he has been compelled to pay for money. The new law and the creation of the twelve land banks will make it pos sible for him to borrow on easy terms, Here is what the farmer can do: First, he must join what is to be known as a National Farm L,oan As sociation, paying in $5.00 for one of its shares for each $100 he wishes to borrow He has one vote a share, but not to exceed ten votes in all. Next, he applies to the association for the loan, giving his personal note therefor, secured bf a first mortgage on his farm. If the association ap proves the loan, it turns' the note morttlffe to a land bank. Th iaH bank sends the amount of the loan to the association, which hands the money to the farmer No commis sion, brokerage or rake-off is charged the borrower No single loan is to be for less than $100 or more than $10,000; nor for less than five years or more than forty years. The loan must, not exceed 60 pertcent and preferably should not go beyond 50 per cent of the market value of the land covered by the mortgage The borrower pays semi-annually, the interest on his note, plus an in Build Up Clear out the congestion that has disturbed your breathing and weakened your digestion, and re invigorate all the bodily processes to do their full share "in cold weather, and thus build yourself up to perfect health.

It is illegal, under severe" penalties, for any officer, committeeman or member to accept any commission, fee or prequisite of any kind for granting any lean. The only paid officer is a Secretary-Treasurer. Money can be borrowed by this system in order to pay for agricultural land, equipment, oertilizers, live stock, buildings and improvement, or to discharge a prior mortgage. , , The land bank may charge the bor rowing farmer only 1 per cent more than the rate it gets on its bonds This margin of one point is to cover expenses and profits. The day of the range is gone. With its passing we must hereafter raise our cattle on the farm. That means a very great amount of money must be invested in stock We are pass ing, too, from the age of muscle to the age of machinery in agriculture -That means' a great amount of money must be invested in farm machinery. There is need of bel'ter. farming methods. We raise less, than 15 bush els of wheat to the acre. In some countries they produce 35. We rob the soil. A11 these investments will bring good profit to the agriculturist. They will bring profit to the public, too, Unlessjthey are made the costofjlivign will keep rising. The whole public is interested in the condition of the farmer. Under the Rural Credits law the farmer canborrow at 6 per cent, and as long time as 40 years , .
