tai, the bank must set aside certain
reserves and meet all its expenses.
Any balance or net profits can be dis
trlbuted as dividends to the loan asso-
Citations or other stockholders. The
loan associations, from their bank divi.
dends, after setting aside the required
r serves and meeting expenses, can de-
clare association dividends to their
members. In this way the profits, If
any, will be distributed among the bor-
rowers and will, to that extent, re-
duce the amount of interest actually
paid by them.
Fees and Commissions Restricted.
The Fedora land banks are specifi-
cally prohibited from charging in con-
nection with making loan any fees
or commissions which are not author
ed by the Farm Loan Board. The
authorized fees need not be paid in ad-
vance, but may be made part OF the
loan.
\ 1t has been said that all loans are TO
be repaid on the amortization plan,
This plan calls for number of fixed
annual or semi-annual payments, which
include not only all interest and charges
due the bank, but the principal, as well.
These payments are so calculated as to
extinguish the debt in a given number
of wears. After five yaers the borrower
has the right on any interest date to
make additional payments on the prin'
cipal in sums of $25 or any multiple
thereof, thus discharging the debt more
quickly.
The table given below illustrates how
loan of $1,000, bearing interest at
per cent, would be retired in 20 years
by an annual payment of $S0.24. A study
of the columns shows how from year to
year the interest is reduced and the pro-
portion of the payment which goes to
discharge the principal steadily in
creases. The final payment cancels the

Washington, August 5,--rhe Federal
farm loan act, popularly called the
"rural credits law,'' was signed by the
President and became law July II,
1916.
The primary purpose Of this act rs
TO promote agricultural prosperity by
enabling farmers to borrow money on
farm.mortgage security at reasonable
rate OF interest and for relatively long
periods of time. To attain this object,
two farm.mortgage systems are pro
yided: (i) A system operating through
regional land banks, and tsl a system
operating through Joint stock land
banks.
TO attract money 10 the farm loan
field, the act provides q method where
by those who have money TO lend can

clio, and four members appointed by the
President This board ms authority

the act provides for Federal land

should have only its required minimum
pand-up capital of $4,000, this plan
will provide eventually, if all the au-
thorized bonds of the II banks are sold,
over $3.50, 100000 to lend on first mort
cages on farm land. The banks, how
ever, can increase their capital stock
above the required minimum and so m
crease the amount of bonds they can
sell, and thus increase the total amount
of money available for loans ON farm
mortgages.
To make these bonds attractive to in.
vestors, the bonds, together with the
mortgages upon which they are based,
are exempted from Federal, state muni-
cipal and local taxation and are made
legal investments for fiduciary and
trust funds. The capital stock of the
Federal land banks are exempt from
taxation. Federal reserve banks and
member banks of that system are en-
powered to buy and sell these bonds.
They are TO be issued in denominations
of $50, $50, 800, $500 and $1,000.
District to Provide Directors.
The temporary management of the
Federal land banks is to be in the
hands of five directors appointed by
the Federal Farm Loan Board, AS soon,
however, as the subscriptions from the
loan associations total 100000, regular
directors are to be appointed as fol
lows Three district directors, resident
in the district, shall be appointed by
the Federal Farm Loan Board to rep
resent the public interest, and six local
directors, resident in the district, shall
be elected by the farm loan associations
who must be stockholders in the bank.
The Federal Farm Loan Board shall
designate one of its appointees to act
as chairman. The act requires that at
least one of the three district directors
shall be experienced in farming and ac,
tually engaged at the time of his ap-
