Since the formation of these small groups of farmers is the foundation upon which 'the farm loan system is built, it is apparent that this legisla tion will foster the spirit of co-operation among farmers. When farmers put their mortgages together for the sake of cheaper money it is reason able to presume that they will form the habit of cooperation in other prob lems of common interest. The present farm loan indebtedness of the United States is probably ap- . proximately four billion dollars, and the average interest rate now charged is between 8 1-2 and 9 per cent. If the farm loan net would reduce the in terest rate of the United States by 4 per cent it would mean a financial saving to the faimers of between one hundred and fifty and two hundred million dollars per year, and this esti mate of saving takes no account of !.? fact thnt'high interest rates have reduced the volume of farm loan in- btcdness far bclcw what it will be w.rn a lower rate is established.

Tho tenant is a transient farmer nnd the temporary nature of his operations prevents him from op crating at maximum capacity. Short lenses make it out of the question for tenants to be large meat producers. The tenant is usually a grain farmer, nnd in many sections of the country a single cropper. He is emraced in jhauling the fertility of his landlord's soil to market. !
