ANCIENT FARM PLAN
Agricultural Co - operation as
- Practiced in Italy.
Merchants'Near Florence Are Still the
Landowners and Peasants Work
on Shares—Landlord Sustains
His Tenants.
Florence, Italy.—At the beginning
of its investigation of co-operative
banking societies the American com
mission on agricultural co-operation,
assembled by the Southern Commer
cial congress, had the advantageous
experience of first visiting a part of
Europe where co-operative banks had
not made much headway.
Agricultural co-operation- is ‘prac
ticed in only one form in the country
4about Florence—societies for the pur
chase of agricultural machinery, fer
tilizer, seeds, etc. This is chiefly due
to the fact that in the early days the
merchants of Florence were the land
owners, and their estates were farmed
on a share basis by the peasants.
If crops were bad the landlord fur
nished food for the peasant farmer
until the next harvest. This system
of land tenure still prevails, and study
of the systems near Florence has
shown the commission that co-opera
tive credit institutions are only possi
ble where the need is great.
Comparing Italian conditions with
American, one of the Florentine ex
perts who appeared before the com
mission. suggested that in the United

States the solution of the problem of
farm finance might be found in an en
largement of the operations of exist
ing banks. Sig. Martelli, president of
the Savings bank of Florence, de
scribed a practice common with banks
about Florence whereby the farmer
gives a mortgage to a bank and re
ceives in return an open account for a
certain amount of credit. Thus a
farmer who considers that he needs
a credit of SIO,OOO to operate his farm
gives a mortgage for that amount to
the bank. As he needs the money
he draws on the bank. He pays in
terest only on the amount on which he
borrows.
For the long-time loans of the farm
ers the savings banks are allowed to
invest up to 30 per cent. of their de
posits in farm mortgages. These mort
gages are of two classes—for periods
up to ten years and for periods of
from 10 to 30 years.
The shorter-term mortgage loans are
repaid by the borrowers in one lump
sum, as in the United States, but
the longer-term loans are repaid by
amortization—that is, small annual
payments made upon the principal of
the loan. The banks are only per
mitted to charge borrowers one-half
per cent. more than they are required
to pay depositors. At the present
time the prevalent rate is five per
cent., though generally it is four per
cent. Money is only loaned up to 50
per cent. of the appraised value of
the land.

Rattlesnake Kills Two Boys.
Beach, N. D.—When Mrs. Dave
Grant, who lives near here, went to
call her two sons, aged five and seven,
she found them dead in bed, with a
rattlesnake lying between them.
When the boys retired the previous
evening each had complained that the
other was pinching him.
Women as Strikebreakers.
Phoenix, Ariz.—Three women oper
ated street cars here as strikebreak
ers, despite the threats of the striking
railway employes. After a struggle of
three hours, however, the manipula
tion, brakes and other missiles proved
to be too much for them, so they quit.

"Florence, the Monts di Paschi, found

ence. ‘.This bank issues mortgage de
bentures at three and one-half, four
and one-half and five per cent. Most
of the debentures now outstanding
are at.five per cent. They sell a
trifie under par, which is the usual
condition in Italy, and their market
price compares favorably with gov
ernment bonds.
The co-operative societies for pur
chase among the land owners have
been successful. The farmers them
selves do not belong to these socie
ties, but the landowners do all pur
chasing of farm machinery and fertil
izer. These societies are also active
in educational work, and maintain ag
ricultural experts, who travel about
from village to village instructing the
farmers in scientific agricultural
methods.
