Farm Loan Act Aimed At Real Farmers Not Landlords
Herbert Quick of the Farm Loan Board spoke at the annual county and state agents gathering in Washington. He urged that bonds of farm banks be seen as ideal investments and described rural credits as enabling farmers to borrow from investors using their security, not government money. The act, he said, will shift farming to a business basis and reduce tenancy while stabilizing farm life and fertility.
