Abstract
The aim of this thesis is to discover the efficacy of the Federal legislation on agricultural credits, particularly of the Agricultural Credits Act of 1923. A short history of the Act is given to show the size of the problem that was given for Congress to solve. This history will also explain why such an incongruous law as the Act of 1923 was passed. The writer is deeply interested in the Pacific North West and in Oregon. That is why the work on future of the Spokane Intermediate Credit Bank, of the Twelfth District is so fully discussed. Greater space is not accorded the National Agricultural Credit Corporations because it is doubtful if any will ever be organized. They cannot compete with the privileged Intermediate Credit Banks.
