parts Of the loan act. The following
questions submitted to the Secretary Of
the Farm Loan Board will be OF in

One Of the explanatory leaflets issued
by the Board uses an expression which
led many to think that loan associations
must be kept within one county. Al to
this the secretary says:
"a farm loan association may extend
its territory into two, counties and in
some instances this may be advisable
or necessary. County lines are no bar
rier against an association being formed
in that vicinity. the object being to get
members, irrespective Of whether they
live in one county or another. Az .
matter Of fact, the association decides
its own territory within which it will do
business"
The question was submitted whether
person might obtain loan II not

the loan was to be placed Here 10 the
