The Geing Is Tough

" Some indication of just how tough the going is for the tenant who tries to achieve farm ownership is found elsewhere in the FSA report. ~ The same farmers who borrowed i to buy their land also had to bor-

These loans totaled $3,771,303 as; of March, 1940. Maturities amounted to '$1,405,332. Delinquencies amounted to $186,215, or 13.2 per cent. In all cases, FSA has been careful to make sure that a man purchasing a farm got sufficient land to

set him up on an economic basis, ione which, if operated properly, would make repayment of the loans possible, This is one of the reasons _ fhe tenant-purchase plan has proceeded slowly, for FSA found a se- | ‘rious shortage of available land in many of the regions where purighases were sought. ; Difficulties surrounding the probfem are highlighted by H. R. Tolley, . chief of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, in recent testimony be.fore the House Committee on Interstate Migration.

¢ 6 Million Farms in U. 8.

" There are at present 6,300,000 farms in the United States, Mr. Tolley said. His bureau estimates that the present land base of the United States will support about '$,000,000 farms operating on the

‘scale which prevails in the Cornj.

‘Belt. If living standards were lowered to those prevailing in the Cotton ‘Belt, the country’s land base would support 9,500,000 farms. But the \Agriculture Department has been [Ee to raise the standard of farm e. And year by year the amount iof land absorbed into large-scale, commercial farm enterprises has been increasing. The department has not sought to impede commercial farming, Mr. Tolley said, though it has labored to increase the number of family'gize farms and to put them all on ‘gs going-concern basis, “present policy has aimed, roughly, at cushioning the effects-of the gnajor changes occurring in agripulture, rather than attempting to alter the framework of agriculture es it is now operating,” Mr. Tolley } ba ge * For any kind of success in saving 'Ehe family-size farm as.a relatively ‘secure and comfortable way of life, away of increasing income from pff-the-farm sources probably must He recommended, as have other Agricul-
