will not pay over 6 per cent. interest
on his loan.
Each of the - farm loan banks to be
established under the terms of the act
must have a minimum subscribed cap
ital of $4,000 before beginning bust

thorized to prescribe the terms and
conditions for the payment of sub
scriptions to capital stock, to reject
any subscription in it's discretion and
to require subscribers to furnish ade-
quate security for the payment there

was discussing. II wish I could talk
better" said he, but there! If was
a good talker I wouldn't be farmer!"
He said he believed most farmers in
blaine carry a mortgage. Those who
don't, live on farms which have been
handed down from generation to gener-
alton. After the act was explained to
him, he said he thought there was con-
siderable merit in the act and he thinks
there is great need in Maine for long
time loans for farmers.
Afternoon Session
At the opening of the afternoon ses-
sion Edwin H. Ingraham Of Augusta
stated that Names biggest crop this
year is hay and that the market at
the present time is low on hay And
he said that the hay must be sold at
a low price to meet the expenditures
incurred in raising the crop.
Harvey D. Eaton
Harvey D. Eaton of Waterville
and Of the difficulty in getting 10 men
together to organize a national farm
loan association. He doubted if the
act was needed in Maine and he
stated that the reason that so few
were present at the meeting was be-
cause they did not take any interest
in 1t. The conditions in Maine, he
said, do not exist in the West and
South for the country communities in
the State are long on money. He ex-
pressed the wish that the board had
come with something that Maine needs
more. I'VE want men. here" he said
Levi S. Williams
Levi S. Williams of Augusta said
that he doubted if a day passed by
that farmer is not refused a loan
on farm property by a bank in the
State. And he thought that the West
ern farmers would come to Maine if
the farmers of the State could assist
them.
A. n. Rathburn
A. H. Rathburn of Litchfield spoke
about the difficulty he had in trying
to change a mortgage that he had
taken when he had purchased his
farm. He had been refused by every
bank in Augusta, Gardiner and Lewis
ton.
Mr.. Flagg thought that Maine was
the proper location for the first fed
eral land bank.
Luncheon at Noon
The members of the federal farm
loan board were met at Augusta by

Trade, consisting Of ex-Gov. F.. w.
Plaisted, Hon. Charles F. Hichborn,

Charles ]. Dunn, treasurer of the ag-

Commissioner Vernon as to the high
rate of interest in Penobscot county.
This became so lively that Sec McAdoo
suggested that perhaps the argument
better be confined to the subject in
hard.
Mr.. Dunn said that farms were in
fair shape in northern and eastern
Maine and that a majority Of boys and
girls now at Orono come from the
farms. He could see some advantages
Of the proposed act, but he wants to
study it more fully.

State Bank Commissioner Irving E.
Vernon stated that the rates on mort
cages in Maine varied from to per
cent, that most were to per cent.
in western and southern Maine, often
times per cent. in Aroostook county
and per cent. in northern Penobscot
He believes there is great need Of
cheaper money in Maine for the farm
ers. He has had various complaints
from farmers that banks will not loan
them money. He believes this should
be remedied if possible. After the
farmers become familiar with the pro-
visions of this act they will like it.
Sec. McAdoo asked Mr.. Vernon if he
had statistics in his office showing the
number of mortgages foreclosed in
Maine in any given period Of years.
Mr.. Vernon said he had not, but per-
haps the agricultural department
might have such figures. Mr.. Vernon
thinks the district should be composed
Of Maine, New Hampshire and YER
mont, and If he were asked privately
where the federal land bank should be
located he could tell the board, mean
