FARM LOAN ACT
for Lending Mon
Ell on Farm Lands at
Reasonable Interest for
Relatively Long Periods.

Reasonable Interest for
Relatively Long Periods.
There has Been a great deal
published in connection with
the Farm Loan Act" System
for lending money on farm
lands at reasonable interest for
relatively long periods. To give
4 full and detailed account of
the purposes, the workings and
the requirements of the entire
system takes a great deal of
space. However the Record is
undertaking to give a brief out
ttine in as CONDENSED form as is
practical to make the facts clear
And in 50 doing we find it neccs-
sary to give it on the install
ment plan, d9voting as much
spack in each issue as is con-
venient foe several issues until
the entire system has been re-
viewed.
The first instailment follows:
The Federal farm loan act,
populerly called the "Rural
credits law" was sign9l by the
President and became a Jaw on
July II, 1916.
The primary purpose of this.
act is to promote agricultural
prosperity by enabling farmers
to borrow money on farm
mortgage security at a reason
able rate Of interest AMI for rel
atively long periods of time.
70 attain this object, two farm
mortgage systems are provided.
ltD A system operating through
regional land banks, and ~ a
system operating through joint
stock land banks.
To attract money to the farm
loan field the act provides IA
method whereby thooe who have
money to lend can find safe in
vestment in the form of de-
bentures or bonds, of small and
large denominations, issued by
the banks and based on the Sc
curity Of mortgages on farm
lands.
These two systems aye to be
under the general supervision of
a Federal Farm Loan Board in
the Treasury Department, com
posed of the Secretary of the
Treasury, as chairman ex officio,
and four. members appointed by
the President. This board has
authority to appoint appraisers,
examiners, and registrars, who
will he public officials.
Federal Land Bank System.
Under the Federal land.bank
system the act provides for
Federal land banks which make
loans, for the first IL months,
exclusively through local nation
al farm-loan associations COM
posed of borrowers. These as
sociations shall be shareholders
in the banks, and in that way
members who are borrowers
will share in the profits Of the
bank. The money for the loans
is to come partly from the capt.
tai of the banks and partly from
the sale by the hanks of bonds
secured by first mortgages on
farm lands. The act da6nec

IN BIG GAS AREA
Former Hivick Gasser Deepened and
Another Sand Picked Up.

Former Hivick Gasser Deepened and
Another Sand Picked Up.
What is known as the Iiiyick gas
ser near the center of section 15-4-3
which was recently purchased by b.
A. Simpson when he purchased the
Hivick and Daniels 90 acres has been
deepened. The well was at a depth
of 1857 when the tools were lowered
and a second gas sand was picked
up from 1115 to 1920 and the well was
drilled to a total depth of 11i0 feet.
The production was sufficient to run
as many as four or five strings of
tools, and the well was shut in as a
gasser. 1t is in fine shape to be drill
ed deeper and a deeper test will be
drilled deeper and a deeper test will
be drilled when the gas becomes un-
profitable. Two other strings of tools
are at work on this lease. The gas
sand, at 1115, was not a new sand
as when it was entered it weakened
the gas in one of the Gates wells near
by so the sands must be the same.

NEW EXTENSION A FACTOR.
Magnolia is Running 10000 Barrels,
But May Reduce Percentage.

The Magnolia is still running 90
600 barrels a day. The northwest
extension, which is becoming fac
tor in the production of the field, pro-
misses to put the production where
the runs will have to be reduced to
fifty per cent. This condition will re-
suit in either another pipe line or in
the building of steel storage. The
McMan company has purchased five
steel tanks and has the refusal of
five more, which it will probably
take. This company seems to have
made up its mind to run to the pipe
line what it will take and to store
the balance. although it recently lost
100000 barrels by fire which it had
brought from the sands and put in
storage.

While this report may be true there
are other straws which seem to dis
credit The Texas Company wants u

cause the company built an S-inch

From Homer District.

George T. Nickles, of Clinton, H.,
who is interested with Pat Murphy
in operations about Homer, was here
last night from the Homer district
and left for his home, He will be
back in Garter county within two
weeks from now, All operations at
Homer are shut down at this time,
but the prospects are that drilling
will be resumed some time during
the year. Several shallow wells
have been drilled in that territory,
and the drillers are studying the dip
of the sands to be guided by them in
doing further development work.

Allen Pool is Busy.

The Allen pool in Pontotoc coun-
ty, which is about ten miles east of
Francis, is running about a half
dozen strings of tools. The field is
defined on one side and recent drill
ings have not resulted in dry holes
as was formerly done frequently The
sand there is from 900 to 700 feet
under the surface and is about 80
feet thick. Wells that make 40 bar
rels have been the average but a
recently completion there is making
70 barrels. Allen has small refin-
cry, and there is a ready market for
the production.

Heavy Water Sand Encountered in
GYPSY Well West of Fox.

Gypsy Well West of Fox.
Gypsy Oil company in 1924 encoun-
tered a heavy water sand at about 525
feet. Water sands were expected,
and do not condemn the location, but
it was unfortunate for the owners.
The 15-inch casing had been set on
top of the water sand and the well
is shut down now waiting for the ar
rival of an underreamer. The large
casing will be set below the sand so
as to permit the drilling of a deep
we'll if deep drilling is required.
This well is looking very good in
deed The oil sand at 4S0 feet, it is
believed, will make 20 barrels, and
the company estimates the gas pro-
duction at three million feet. The
scout estimate is five million feet.
