Ter of the currency, describes in his
annual report to congress the opera
ton of the national banks under his
charge, from October, 1914, to Novem-
Der, 1915, the first year under the fed
eral reserve system. The report Tues
day was presented to congress.
Mr.. Williams gave a comparative
statement of the condition of the ma
tional banks. He shows net resources

the reporting national banks had ex-
cess reserves of $S91,000,000. Tables

banks in 1895 and 1915.
"In September, 1895, there were 3712
reporting banks with net deposits of

The first bank to be incorporated
under the Massachusetts farm land
bank law of 1918 has filed it's papers
with the state bank commissioner. 1t
will be known as the Massachusetts,
Farmland bank, with headquarters in
Springfield and branch offices in ev-

talized at $4,000 and the stock is al
most entirely subscribed. The object
Of the bank is to lend its money to
the farmers who have difficulty in
getting credit from ordinary banking
institutions. Under the law, the new
bank, which enjoys special privileges,
can invest only in farm land mort
cages. Money will be loaned at
per cent and then ON the security of
the mortgage taken, bonds will be
issued at per cent. Both stock and
bonds are tax exempt and the bonds
are legal investment for savings
banks, trust companies, trustees, in
surance companies and public funds
The money obtained from these bond
sales will be loaned to the farmers
and so by this method of pyramid
ing" capital of $4,000 will serve
to extend 100000 credit to the
farmers of Massachusetts.
