FARM LOANS TOPAY
AS Low. AS 4 II
Interest to Range From That to
5 Per Cent-Bonds viii
Yield 4.

Farmers who patronize the farm loan
banks authorized under the farm loan
act will pay from ~ to per cent Tor
loans. II was understood today. Bonds
to be issued by the twelve banks au-
thorized are expected to pay per cent
interest.
The farm loan act provided that loans
should be made to farmers at not more
than l per cent above the interest rate
on the bonds. After consultation with
bankers throughout the North. the farm
loan board. II was learned. has fixed
per cent as the interest for the bonds.
The belief that loans to farmers may 90
at as low rate as ~ per cent is based
on calculations by Government experts
that the farm loan banks can be run on
u per cent of the money.
The first bonds will be issued when
the banks loan their first 1000 apiece.
The total first issue OF all the banks
will be 100000. This money will be
loaned out and more bonds issued, and
the process repeated.
The board today repeated its an
nouncement that loans may be made
only by farm associations. Any ten
farmers comprise such an association.
They must buy stock In the farm ioan
banks TO the amount or 5 per cent OF
their loans. The stock is held by the
associations as assets.
A loan strike by Montana farmers.
whereby country banks were forced 10
lower their interest rates, was reported
to the Federal farm loan board today.
In anticipation OF loans at per cent
under the rural credits act. the farmers,
according to this report, refused TO bor-
row from the country banks. and sat
| back to await the organization of the
land banks. The strike was broken
when the country banks reduced their
interest charges.

be protected with sheet metal, leaving
an air space. Metal bells should be
placed over gas Jets on low ceilings.
Steam pipes should be kept clear from
all wood and other combustiple mate
