 You borrow it by joining a national farm loan association in the manner described in the Farm Loan Primer, which is Circular No. ,, issued by this bureau and which may be had, free upon request, or application 10 the Federal Farm Loan Board. Treasury Building. Washington, D. C.
 You ger your s3.o00 in cash. In or der 70 get il you have to furnish evi- 'dence Of your title. and your land must be appraised. You take il on 36 years time. This does not mean that the loan runs for 36 years and then falls due These amortized loans mature" .n 36 years, but they never fall due. They are amortized or killed of b$ small payments every year. he pay ments may be either every six months or every year, and the first payment is exactly the same as the payments made a. the end Of the thirty-ffth rear. The last payment may not be exactly the same size as the other pay nsnts. bu, is about the same.

The Treasury Department Federal Farm Loan Board has issued a circu- lar tNo. . .n which the method of making long rerm loans to farmers is explained: also the system or "amorti- ration. or. literally. the manner of killing of -he mortgage. The circu- lar says in part:
 The Federal farm loan act is law chs intention Of which is to make it possible for the farmers 10 make mon ~ D. borrowing money. It's intention :s 10 place money within reach Of the farmer on such terms as 70 convert the farm mort gage tnto source O profit. Advised 70 Make Long-Terr Loans.
 The law provides that the borrower may -ake out his loan for as short a time as , years. bur for most farmers -ais would be burdensome and foolish. Very tew farmers are borrowing for as shorr q time even as h years. because the farmer has the privilege Of pay ing, il whole Or in part, a. any in .eres- date. and it is an advantage 10 him = nave the mortgage run for q ---@ re.
