FEDERAL BANK IS
ACTIVELY, ENGAGED
COMPLETING LOANS
Placing About 100000
Per Month in Four North
western States Appraiser
Returns to Boise.

The Federal Land bank of Spokane
which serves the states of Idaho, Mon
tana, Washington and Oregon is now
completing loans at the rate of about
two million dollars a month. This bank
Is doing a larger business than any
other Of the twelve Federal Land banks
and at q much less proportionate ex-
pense.
c. e. B.. Roberts who returned
Thursday from trip to Spokane on
business connected with the bank re-
po1s a larger proportion of applica-
lions filled from Idaho than from any
other state in the district. The Spo-
kane bank has placed more leans than
any other land bank with the possible
exception of one and has filled a lar
ger proportion of it's applications than
any except two.
The farm loan board at Washington
has recently raised the interest rate
on new business all over the United
States. This increase from per cent
to 51k per cent will not effect those
whose applications have been approved
by the bank unless they have been
dilatory in accepting the loan or COM
pleting their papers. This increase
has been thought necessary for sew
eral reasons. The farm loan bonds,
which are exempted from taxation and
draw Az per cent interest, are still
selling at par but the condition CT the
bond market renders it impossible to
depend on selling bonds at that fig
ure in the increasingly large quanti-
ties demanded by the business. The
service to the applicants for loans can
be increased also by increasing the
expense.
Applications for loans are reaching
the bank in overwhelming amounts
and in spite of the wonderful devel-
opment Of the institution this bank has
untitled applications on hand total
ing nearly $25,QOO,00O 1t can readily
be seen that loans will be delayed in
many Instances but uniform methods
in the local associations, careful COM
pliance with instructions and atten-
ton to details will lessen correspond
ence and greatly facilitate the work.
Mr.. Roberts reports the officers
working nights and holidays and all
hands from President OShea down to
the office boys taking a deep interest
in this great work for the cause of
agriculture.
