some way that will contribute to
greater production on the same num
ber of acres.
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.
High interest rates and unfavorable
terms of farm mortgages have been
a serious handicap to farm develop
ment. Curtailing farm production has
taxed the consumer as well as the pro-

agriculture on a more substantial'
basis. I
More than half of the farms of the
United States are now in the hands of
tenants. 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.

tuity of his soit oy marketing his crop
through his livestock and returning
