How To Get
A Farm Loan
Procedure Outlined Under National
Rural Credits Law.

The following, from the Toledo
Blade, will help those who are inter.
ested 10 securing an understanding Of
the rural credits laws
Here is an explanation OF the rural
credits law dealing with farm loans:
Let-us say that John Smith wants
to buy a piece of land, without build
ings, valued at $4,000. If he Intends
to use the land for farming purposes
he can borrow 81 900 on it under the
provision of the new law. The way
be would proceed is like this: He
would first join his local national
farm loan association and take stock
to an amount equivalent to per cent
OF the amount he wishes to borrow,
which in this case would be $50. This
stock the association holds in trust
as security for his individual loan. If
he does not have the money with
which to pay for his stock he may
borrow the price of that stock as a
part o. the loan on his farm land,
which would reduce his 1000 to
$3.50.
Before he can borrow any money,
however, he must till out an applca,.
tion blank supplied to his local asso-
citation by the fedora! farm loan board,
The application must be approved by
the loan committee of the local asso
ciation, which must appraise the
property offered as security. Then
the application goes to the federal
land hank, Of the district, where II
must lie invt stigated and reported on

Rouse joint resolution NO. 1o,
proposing the creation of a new
state out OF the ten northern
counties of Idaho, passed the
house Monday by vote of sc to
IS. The northern representatives
voted solid for the resolution and
had enough backing among south
eastern Idaho members for a COM
Portable majority. BY the terms
of the resolution a convention is
called to'be held in Moscow, une
10, 1917, to draft constitution for
the proposed new state, the south
ern boundary of which is the
southern boundary line Of Idaho
county, the proposed territory
being all counties north of that.
Each county is to have delegates
to the convention equal to the
number of representatives and
senators in the Legislature. The
constitution would then be sub
mitted to the voters for ratification,
after which a petition would be
presented to congress for admis-
sion OF the territory as state into
the union.

in his message to the Legislature.
House bill No. I24, by Lucas

the Torrens system of registering
titles to real estate to adapt the
same to the laws of Idaho for the
transfer of land. 1t proposes that
the laws of Idaho shall recognize
but one estate in land brought
under the act, and that is the
registered title.
