For the benefit Of those who want to
take immediate action in organizing
farm loan associations, Prof. I. J..
Brooks, Rural Economist of the Col
lege, is offering the following pointed
information and directions on the first
steps necessary.
The system will perhaps be in full
operation by February, but loan as
sociations can be formed now and the
preiinlinaries be worked out by the
time loans can be secured.
Someone in the community where
loan association is in prospect should
write to the Federal Farm Loan Bu-
reau, Washington, d. G., for blanks
which will be useful in filing an appli-
catioa for charter. When these
blanks are received, the best plan will
be to call meeting Of those interest
ed and discuss the whole plan. If the
instructions are followed it will be
easy to ascertain whether the commu-
nifty represented at the meeting cares
to meet the requirements in order to
