of the society is to advance agriculture and kindred pursuits, and
to defray the expenses connected therewith, it has the interest of
its capital, which at present amounts to about 270,000 kroner,
membership subscriptions to about 3000 kroner, and an annual
government grant of from 30,000 to 40,000 kroner. The society,
among other things, furthers its object by publishing a monthly
periodical.
Furthermore, there are certain minor public funds intended
for the advancement of agriculture. Among these we may
mention the fund for buying land, amounting to 500,000 kroner, out
of which loans are granted to the municipalities for the purpose
of buying large estates to be assigned to people without means,
at the purchase price, in plots of not more than 12 acres of
tillable soil; and for the purpose of being granted as loans on the
security of parcels of the same size, which people without means
intend to acquire as freehold property. The interest paid on these
loans, which may not be made to any single community to a larger
amount than kr. 25,000, is 3 ¾ % which percentage, in the case
of loans granted to purchasers of the parcels, may be raised to
4 %. The time of payment is up to 25 years.
Out of the cultivation fund, which amounts to kr. 1,000,000,
loans are granted for the purpose of cultivating and draining soil,
at an annual interest of 2 ½ %, and the time of repayment is up
to 20 years, including five years in which no instalments are
required. These loans are granted either on the security of
mortgages, or on the guarantee of the municipality.
