Svein elimi Rural Land Values and Rural Credit. BY C. W. PETERSON. Canada is the only important agri- cultural country in the world with. out systematized® rural land - crédit machinery. This situation has a dis- tinct bearing on the colonization of our vacant lands. Across the line the Federal Land Banks supply rural mortgage funds on a basis of 6 per cent, interest and on long term re- . payment. This system is in an ex- tremely healthy condition there and it is difficult to see how Canada can appeal to United States farmers to settle in this 'country, without being in a position to offer, them similar economic facilities for long term credit. A commission recently made some investigations into systematized rural credit machinery and in the final re. port stated that "the whole plan is for a method which would not encour- age speculation in land, but one which would make farming more attractive to those who were eager to work." The acceptance in other countries of the long-term land mortgage system with amortization provisions, has been a most valuable factor in the closer settlement of land. It has re- duced charges for interest, given se- curity to both mortgagor and mort gagee, and, by its tendency to stabil- ize land values, has diminished land speculation. The stabilization of land values is one of the by-products of a rational, rural land credit system. In- cidentally, it is also one of the cry- ing needs of our western country where the crazy fluctuations of land values has done more to demoralize agriculture than all other causes combined. ie ie Youth Completes Hike of 500 Miles, Hungry and Footsore Guelph.--Wan and emaciated from lack of food, with tattered shoes al- most falling off blistered feet, Andrew Lamont, aged 18, son of Mr. and Mrs. James Lamont, 84 Edinboro' Road, has reached home after a hike of over 6500 miles from Chicago, Ill, A little over a month ago the youth left the city with just $20 in his jeans for Chicago, where he intended to ship on an American lake freighter, He arrived in the Mid-West metropolis safely, but found that without the necessary papers he was unable to secure 8 berth on a boat. He made several unsuccessful attempts to se- cure jobs, and then started for home, "padding the hoof." He didn't have two dimes to rub against one another when he started, Although he was given one or two short rides on trucks, he walked al- fmost all the way, "bumming" what little food he did get at farmhouses aad sleeping at night in roadside barns. He had only about three meals in two weeks, The 500- hike took the youth over a week. ri claret Canadians in United States Plan Memorial for Ottawa New York.--A movement to raise & fuag, & tentatively set at $100,000, the 2,600,000 Canadians in the ted States for the purpose of plac- a memorial or tablet on Parlia. ¢ Hill jn Ottawa, has been started the Canad'an Club of New.
