Farmers' Credit
It is invariably the mortgage com-
panies that are singled out for atten-
tion in these demands for legislation
to protect the lamer. As a matter of
fact, anyone who knows Western con-
ditions knows that the mortgage com-
panies on tee whole are just as anx-
ious to keep farmers on the land ars
.the farmers to stzty on it. Without
advertising their plans at all mort-
gage companies are staking adjust-
ments with farmers, reducing interest
rates where necessary, spreading over
principal payments, paying taxes on
mortgaged farms, and generally doing
their utmost to aid the farmers
through their difficulties. The farm-
ers' financial difficulties arise in such
