James Ready to Give Aid
in;;Securing Farm Loans

Considerable interest has been
shown by farmers of the county in the
matter of borrowing money through
federal farm loan association. There
is. no reason why the farmers of Bar
mes county should not make use of
money at moderate rate of interest
if they will form an association In
compliance with the regulations as out
lined by the federal farm loan act.
The law allows any farmer or any
one about to become a farmer, and
who will Join federal farm loan assO-
citation, to borrow money up to one
half of the appraised value of the land
and one.fifth of the value Of the per-
manent improvements, on first mort
gage. ~
There are several advantages to be
gained bv borrowing money through
this means. One is that tho interest
rates will he moderate. This rate can
not exceed six per cent and NAV be
less. Another is that there will be
no commission to nay at time of Dor.
rowing, as is usually the case,
Then too, one can borrow on the
amortization plan. That is, he pays
small ner cent of the principal each
year along with the interest Again,
he can make a long time loan I'm to
40 years. which loan can be paid as
fast as he desires after five years.
In order to get these benefits. far
mers must form an association, which
must consist Of at least ten members,
and at least $4,000 must be asked for
by such association. While ten far
mers may form an association, 1t will
be to their ADVANTAGE to get a larger
group together. After an association
is organized, as many as care to may
join. They must be voted in bv the
men already belonging to the associa.
tion ..-
The money is not yet available. h"t
the preliminary organizations should
be organized soon.
Those interested in this matter
shonld get in touch with their county
agent, who is supposed to give assist.
ance in the way Of information and
in the matter OF forming associations.
