Aug. 19.—WP—Prof. William O. Murray of the depart ment of agricultural economics. Iowa ! State college, has a plan whereby loan companies may protect their mortgages on farms and farmers 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 sor Murphy says, might have the same relationship to the farmer that a cow tester has to members of his a 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 Murray points out th~* farm loan companies sometimes K by foreclosure despite a careful r oraisal when the loan was me The farmer may have been a r manager and allowed the farm deteriorate.
