FARM LOAN BANKS HAVE
PROVED WORTH TO COUNTRY
The Federal Farm Loan system has

cess, according to a business summa
ry issued by the Farm Loan Board.
About 2,800 national farm loan asso

resenting about four associations to
each five counties in the country. The
associations have an average of 20
members, representing a total mem
bership of about 56,000 farmer bor
rowers.
Federal Land Banks .
"The twelve Federal Land Banks
have received applications for over
120,000 loans, amounting to about
$300,000,000," says the board's state
ment. "Many of these applications
have been incorporated, representing
about four associations to each hve

amounts which the borrowers declined
to accept.
"Notwithstanding the unusual ex
penses incident to the operation of new
machinery and to the appraisement
and determination of title op many
loans that have not yet been closed,
the expense of the banks in doing
business has been within such limits
as to justify the expectation of the
Farm Loan Board that these banks
will easily be able to operate on a
difference of one-half of one per cent
between the loaning pr.te and the rate
which they pay on thir bonds,
How Money Obtained
"None of the banks of course, re
ceived any appreciable, income, from
their business during the first half of
the year, but during the last half the
business of the Spokane Federal Land
B,ank, for example, was sufficiently
profitable to come within about $10,
000 of wiping out the excess of ex
penses incurred in the first half, and
the volnme of business on its books
assures it a handsome surplus for the
second year.
"Every borrower, when he takes out
his loan, makes a subscription which
increases the stock of the ' Federal
Land Bank to the extent of five per
cent of the amount borrowed. These
stock subscriptions 'of borrowers, in
the case of several of the banks, are
now so large that in accordance with

The size of business depends upon the
needs which that business is called upon to
serve. A business should be as big as its
job. You do y not drive tacks with a pile
driver or piles with a tack-hammer.
Swift & Company's growth has been
the natural and inevitable 'result of na
tional and international needs.
Large-scale production and distribution
are necessary to convert the live stock of
the West into meat and by-products and
to distribute them over long distances to
the consuming centers of the East and
abroad.
Only an organization like that of Swift &
Company, with its many packing plants, hun
dreds of distributing houses, and thousands
of refrigerator cars, would have been able to
handle the varying seasonal supplies of live
stock and meet the present war emergency
by supplying, without interruption:
Firsf-The U. S. soldiers and the Allies
in Europe by shipping as much as 800 car
loads of meat products in a single week!
Second The cantonments in the United
States. ,
TAir The retailers upon whom the
American public depends for its daily
supply of meat.
But many people ask Do producers and
consumers pay too much for the complex
service rendered?
Everyone, we believe, concedes, the effi
ciency of the Swift & Company organization
in performing a big job in a big way at a
minimum of expense.
Swift A Company's total profit in 1917 was
less than 4 cents on each dollar of sales of
meat and by-products. Elimination of this
profit would have had practically no effect on
live stock and meat prices.
Do you believe that this service can be
rendered for less by any other conceivable
method of organization or operation?
