FARM LOAN soARN OPPOSED
TO ThlRTEEMTH DISTRICT

WASHINGTON. Jan. ls.--The federal
farm loan board Is, much opposed TO
the establishment OF Q thirteenth dis.
trict In tho inteEmountain region with
. federal land bank as headouaster.
located at. Denver.
When the board districted the Unit
ed States, dividing it into twelve dis.
tricts as provided by the rural Gre
dts act. Denver was not given a fed.
eral land bank and a wide stretch of
intermountain territory was left with
no Headquarters city to serve It.. PEG.
pie In that section Of the country were
somewhat incensed at the decision and
a bill has been offered in congress
providing for the establishment of a
thirteenth district to remedy the situ-
alton.
The farm loan board is extremely
anxious that 1.-The measure does. not
psss. The board believes. that the
country is divided into districts in
manner to best serve the interests
OF the farmers desiring loans and In
yesters purchasing the bonds to be is.
sued by the federal land banks.
The nature of the territory which
the proposed thirteenth district Is de
signed to serve is such that the add
tional unit OF the. system would be
unsuccessful in the opinion, of the
farm loan board. The land is essen
TALLY mining rather than agricultural
land and the moneys raised through
the farm, loan system can not be len,
on mining property. The agricultural
land is almost entirely dependent up
on irrigation to make It productive.
The farm loan board believes that
under the circumstances a district
serving such territory exclusively
would be unsuccessful. Bonds based
on farm mortgages secured by such
land would be regarded undesirable by
investors, the board believes.
The board members feel that the
needs OF the intemountain countr,
are well taken care Of In the district

There has been very little criticism
OF the manner in which theS twelve
districts were laid out and the twelve
federal land banks located. The board
has received no actual formal protests
and in that respect differs from the
federal reserve board which, soon
after the organization of the federal
reserve system, had a number of pro
tests on its hands. some of which have
not yet finally been decided.
AS the majority OF members OF con

Date for Spring.

And breezes ripple all the rill,

And bees will boom and birds will coo
And boughs with fragrant blooms be

And I, youth, will yearn to WOO

Now all the scene is chill and bleak,
Nor are the blossoms yet astir:
Few rills are tiDkling, so to speak,
Few bees are booming, as 1t were.
Yet soon they will and when they do.
When blooms are all the leas adjoining,

And 1 will daily with your eyes.
