Borrowing of Land. Over a year ago the Land B.. iik of the State of New York was establish ed by the legislature to mobolize farm-inartgage and tow n-martgage credit. It was to act for local cooper ative loan associations already long in existence, taking their mortgages on real estate and selling its bonds or debentures based on such mortgages. The primary machinery -for the scheme—namely, the local associa tions—had been in operation for years. But it is only recently that the Land Bank made its first issue of bonds—fifty thousand dollars in amount, bearing four and a half per cent interest and sold at par. It took many months to get the plan into operation. Of course, if it h*d been necessary to begin at the bottom and first organize the local loan associa tions it would have taken much long er. Settled business practices of any sort changes slowly, even though a better substitute is offered.

Mr. Cupper proposes that the State issue bonds and loan the money to farmers at 6 per cent interest with proper safeguards.
