FARM EXPERT
BACKSLOANS
Professor Suggests That
Companies Maintain
Teachers
AMES. Iowa, Aug. 19—W—Prof.
William G. Murray of the depart
ment of agricultural economics. Iowa
State college, has a plan whereby
loan companies may protect their
mortgages on farms and fanners
may have trained aid in paying off,
euch debts.
It Is simply a matter of the loan
company hiring a farm management
expert to advise the farmer on whose
property a mortgage is held.
The management expert. Profes-1
sor Murphy says, might have the
same relationship to the farmer that
a cow tester has to members of his
association. He would analyze the
business of the farm and suggest
methods to increase his efficiency
and profits.
Subjects which he might scruti
nize, Murray suggests. Include the
most profitable way to build up the
soil, proper crop rotation, success
ful methods for handling hogs, cor
rect balance between labor and ma
chinery. buying and selling, and
keeping and analyzing records.
Professor Murrav points out that
farm loan companies sometimes lose
by foreclosure despite a careful an
Draisal when the loan was made
The farmer mav have been a poor
manager and allowed the farm tc
deteriorate.
Professional farm management
service, performed bv indenendent
agencies, is growing ranidiy. Several
are operating in Iliinois. and som»
lean companies already offer the
service.
