Rural Credits.-The House of Rep
'resentatives has passed the Glass
Rural Credits bill, providing for the
establishment of twelve land banks
to be managed by a federal farm
loan board. Each bank will be capi-
talized at anywhere from 100000
to S750,0O0 depending upon a House
and Senate agreement. Loans will be
limited at from so per cent to SO
per cent of value of lands and to 20
per cent of the insurabie value of
permanent improvements. The gem
eral plan is to make long term loans,
add the interest for the full time to
the principal and permit the borrow
er to repay the loan in small INSTALL
ments. 1t is believed that the per-
fected bill will partially solve the
question of farm credits. Interest
rates are yet to be agreed upon be-
tween confrers of the House and Sen
ate.
