N. 0, FEDERAL
LAND BANK
President Davis Returns From Con.
ference of Presidents of Twelve
Land Banks in Washington.

New Orleans, Louisiana, March 81.
-(SpeciaD-T. F. Davis, President
Of the New Orleans Federal Land
Bank, has returned from Washington
where he attended a conference of
the Presidents of the twelve Federal
land banks with Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo, and the members
Of the Federal Farm Loan Board.
He expressed qualification over the
fact that this conference had fixed
! fiat interest rate Of per cent, ap-
plying to all parts Of the United
States. He declared that this interest
{ rate would prove a great boon to the
farmers Of the southern states and
predicted that within year the New
Orleans Federal land bank will made
loans aggregating $1O,0O0,0O0.
Mr.. Davis also announced that the
conference Of bank presidents passed
a resolution requesting Congress to
increase the limit of the loans per-
mitted to an individual borrower from
$4,000 to $4,000. He expressed the
hope that the special session Of Con-
gress, soon to convene, would make
this change for the large borrowers
Of the New Orleans Bank District.
In order that more funds may be
available for investment in farm loan
bonds, and in turn made available to
lend to farmers Of this district, Mr..
Davis urged that the Legislatures of
louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama
Immediately pass laws making farm
loan bonds approved investments for
trust funds, insurance companies and
saving banks.
Mr.. Davis announced that the bonds
issued by the twelve Federal land
banks would be placed on the market
at 1-2 per cent, but would probably
0e sold at a premium. He expressed
qualification over the fact that the
the Federal Farm Loan Board has an
tlcipated that at least 100000, ,000
o. these bonds will be issued during
tne coming year and. is making ar
fangements which will assure q ready
market for them. All Of this money
Will be made available to the farmers

TO TRY WINNING
STREAK" ON W.S.C.

Idahos winning streak will be tried
out Wednesday at the university gym
nasium on the Washington State col
lege basket ball team. Coach "Hec"
Edmundson has arranged for the first
game to be played here instead of at
Pullman, so local fans may be spared
any suspense as to how Idaho stacks
up with her ancient rival since she
has attained her stride. The Thurs
day game originally scheduled for
Moscow, will be played at the college
gymnasium at Pullman.
Pullman defeated Whitman A to II
last night-which is slightly better
than the drubbing given the Missionar-
les by Idaho, proving that the games
with Washington State college are to
be the best of the season without
doubt, if the results with Whitman are

of the two teams. Whitman maintain
ed a lead for 10 minutes at the begin
ming of the game, but when w. S. G.
began to edge ahead, lost heart and
