debentures or bonds Of small and large
denominations issued by the banks and
based on the security of mortgages on
farm lands.

He was good doctor. too, in many

his unhagging service to his patients,

secured by first mortgages on farm
lands. The act defines strictly the pur-
poses for and the conditions under
which loans are to be made and re-
quires that the rate Of interest charged
on farm loans shall not exceed 6 per
cent per annum.
The United States shall be divided
into twelve farm loan districts, and q
federal land bank with subscribed
capital stock Of not less than $3.50, 900,
each share S.. shall be established in
each district. Each federal land bank
may establish branches in its district.
Within thirty days after the capital
stock Is offered for sale 1t may be pur-
chased at par by any one. Thereafter
the stock remaining unsold shall be
bought by the secretary Of the treas
ury for the United States. 1t is pro-
vided, however, that the government
shall not receive any dividends on its
stock. Ultimately 1t is intended that
all the stock in the banks shall be
owned by the associations of borrow
ers, and provision therefor is made In
the law for transferring the original
stock at par to these associations.
National Farm Loan Associations.
The act provides for the creation Of
local national farm loan associations,
through which It 10 contemplated that
the federal land banks shall make their
loans. In the event that a local loan
association IL not found in any locality
within a year. the federal farm loan
board may authorize a federal land
bank to make loans on farm land
through approved agents. Ten or more
persons who own and cultivate farm
land qualified as security for q mort
gage loan under the act or who are
about to own and cultivate such land
may form such an association, provided
the aggregate Of the loans desired by
the membership Is not less than $4,000.
Each member must take stock IN his
association to an amount equivalent to
5 per cent Of the amount he wishes to
borrow. This stock the association
holds in trust as security for the men,
bers individual loan. The association
in turn, when applying for money from
