HOW THE LANDLESS MAY
MAKE USE OF FARM LOAN
ACT TO GET OWN FARMS
(By Frank r. WiIsonl

WASHINGTON, d. G. Jan. 19.-
The question has been frequently
asked ''How can n renter who has
not saved so per cent of the pur-
chase price of land make use of the
Federal Farm Loan Act to get land
of his own?"
The answer is, by means of a first
mortgage given under the Farm
Loan Act for 30 per cent Of the pur-
chase price-provided this does not
exceed so per cent of the appraised
value-and second mortgage Civ
en- to the former owner if the land
or to bank or private money lend-
er, for the balance.
1t must be borne in mind that the
amount which can be borrowed un-
der the Farm Loan Act is limited to
80 per cent of the appraised value of
the land, and this is written on the
assumption that the tenant will not
pay more for his land than it is act
ually worth, or, in other words, its
appraised value as contemplated un-
der the Farm Loan Act.
To furnish concrete example,:
Suppose John Smith, renter,
wants to buy 100 acres of land, val
.ued at $50 an acre: The total pur-
chase price would be $4,000, but John
Smith has not the money to buy it.
Under the Farm Loan Act, Smith
would be entitled to borrow $4,000
of the appraised value, il this ap-
praised value should be the same as
the purchase price. This would leave
$500 to be handled by second
mortgage. The amount borrowed
under the Farm Loan Act could be
paid ii the original owner of the
land and a second mortgage execut-
ed for the difference.
The original owner would thus
get satisfactory payment down
and if he had confidence in the pur-
chaser, he would probably be will
ing to accept second mortgage fol
the balance, divided into ten annual

New Securities Are
Created by Loan Act
(By Frank L. Wilson,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.-As ex-
planned before in these articles, the
operations of the Farm Loan Act are
divided into two main classes a
money assembling agency and mon
loan agency.
The government puts the first nest
egg into the farm loan plan by buy
ing the original capital stock of the
twelve Federal Land Banks if neces-
sary. When this has been loaned
and farm mortgages taken in return
for the money loaned, the Federal
Land Banks may issue bonds against
these mortgages.
These bonds will be among the
most attractive securities ever Of
fered to American investors. As ex-
planned before, farmers are permit
ted to borrow only up to so per cent
of the value of their land. This

PLAN TO MAKE STATE

DENVER, Colo, Jan. l9.--George

Industrial and prohibition matters

Joint session oil the industrial rela-

payments.

payments.
Here is the way it would figure
out; The first mortgage of $1,000
given under the Farm Loan Act
would draw let us say, 5 1-2 per cent
interest and would be paid off on
the insthlment plan thru a period OF
forty years by making annual pay
ments of Sl55.95.
Now let us say that the second
mortgage would draw per cent and
could be arranged SO as to be retired
in ten years. The interest on this
$500 mortgage at per cent would
be s150 the first year and one tenth
of the $500 would be $3.50.
Adding the interest and the one
tenth annual payment would mean
payment Of $400 on the second
mortgage, the first year. The second
year payment would be 1885 and the
following payments thru the ten
years to retire the second mortgage
both principal and interest, would
be S370; $3.50; $3ao; $325; $310;
S295; $3.50 and $265.
On top of all these annual pay
ments would be the $l55.95 interest
and amortization payments ON the
first mortgage to the Federal Land
Bank so that the total payments, in
terest and principal, on the two
mortgages would begin at S555.95
and dwindle down to S42095 in the
tenth year and after that only the
Sl55.95 each year.
If the terms of the second mort
gage could be arranged for longer
than ten years the required annual
payments would be correspondingly
reduced
These payments are no greater
than the average tenant pays for
rent. The first year payment on
both of these mortgages would
amount to approximately $3.50 an
acre. These would gradually reduce
until the tenth year he would be
paying $I.20 an acre and each year
after that he would be paying only
Sl.55 an acre per year. Instead of
being paid as rental this money is
applied on the purchase price of the
land.
The interest rates quoted in this
instance are suggestions only and
are not to be taken as an official
statement of what rates will prevail
under the arm Loan Act.

INTERSECTION MINE
CLOSES FOR WINTER.

SILVERTON, Colo, Jan. 10. -
Lessees operating the Intersection
mine, located at the head of Maggie
eulch, in what is known as the east
ern gold belt, have ceased operations
for the winter, which action was
made necessary by the freezing up
Of the water supply for their mill.
During 1916 the Intersection was
consistent shipper and it is stated
that the lessees Messrs. William Fl.
Crooke, j. NJ. Clifford, w. A. Ptol-
emy, and others made a nice profit
from their operations.
The ore Of the Intersection is free
gold and is adaptable to treatment
by the cyanide process. During the
period in which the lessees operated
the property they treated the ore
at the Intersection mill, the free gold
ore being treated by the amalgamam
process and the concentrates were
run over Whitley tables, and the per-
centage saved is said to have been
high.
The owners of the Intersection
spent years and a large amount of
money in placing the mine on the
list as producer of gold and good
concentrates, and the work accomp-
lished by the Intersection Leasing
and Development company, the in
estimable value in that new territory
has been opened up, and proved that
even lessees can make a nice profit
from operations.
Undoubtedly next spring opera
tions win be started again on the
largest scale ever attempted.

means that every dollars worth of
bonds issued represents $500 worth
of land as security.
The fact that each Federal Land
Bank guarantees the bonds of all the
other banks also puts behind these
bonds as security the nine million
dollars original capital stock of the
banks and their required surplus
earnings, plus the required annual
deduction of the mortgage loan.
Besides this, the security constant
ly increases proportionately by rea-
son of the constantly increasing cap
ital contributed by the Farm Loan
Association.
So the investment end of the Farm
Loan Act is fully as important as
the money-lending end, because ii
creates for the benefit of small and
large investors security backed by
pooled first mortgaged farm lands,
the proceeds being used to increase
the productive power, and enhance
the value of these mortgaged lands,
Since the rate of interest to the
farmer depends upon the rate of in.
terest at which these bonds will sell
Congress went the Limit to make
these bonds attractive so they would
sell at low interest rate. The bonds
are exempt from all form of taxa
tion. The government will not even
collect any income tax upon them. No
state or municipality may tax them
for any purpose.
In order to make these bonds ap-
peal to investors of all classes they
are issued in denominations of from
s25 to $1,000.
In order to protect them agains,
counterfeiting they are issued by the
United States Government Bureau of
Engraving and Printing and are pro
tected from counterfeiters by the
whole force of the United States Sec
ret Service.
Heretofore it has been practically
impossible for the small investor to
buy real estate securities. A man
or woman who wanted to buy S100
worth Of farm securities was not able
20 find farm mortgage of just thai,
size.
In addition the investor would not
buy such mortgage without in
specting the security. The cost and
The bother were barriers which made
almost impossible for the small
investor to get the first mortgage
securities.
Hereafter it will be possible for
any investor who wants TO buy farm
securities from $25 up merely to ap-
ply for Federal Farm Loan Bond
of the denominations desired.
The investor win know that this
bond represents SO worth of land ap-
praised under government supervis-
ion and that the bond was issued un-
der government regulation.
The rate of interest at which these
bonds will be issued has not yet been
determined by the Federal Farm
Loan Board. 1t is safe to predict
hat in the beginning it will not be
less than four and not more than
five per cent.
So the benefits of the Farm Loan
Vet are not limited to farmers who
need the use of cheaper capital but
they include also those who have
money to invest and are seeking a
long time, readily marketable secur-
ity of undoubted value.
