National farm land banks bill reviewed in Senate
The Senate Banking and Currency Committee in Washington examines Senator Fletcher of Florida's proposal for a national farm land bank system. The plan lets ten investors form an association with $10,000 capital and $25 shares to issue long term bonds secured by land mortgages. Critics doubt a nationwide system can work given regional farming differences, suggesting state units with federal guidance to expand marketability of farm land securities. The Wall Street Journal notes urgency and cautions against overemphasis on machinery over marketability.
