QUESTIONS.
1. Why has the corporate form of business organizations not been as extensively introduced into the farming industry as into other industries?
2. Discuss the following statements quoted from an article on the Federal Farm Loan Act of 1916. "There was no necessity for any kind of federal legislation affecting the land credit problem of land-owners.... There is, however, the more pressing problem ... of making the conditions of country life more attractive to the younger generation of farmers. In accomplishing this end some form of land purchase legislation is needed." Amer. Econ. Rev., 6: 789. 1916.
3. How do urban and rural districts differ in their preference for and use of different kinds of bank credit?
