FEDERAL FARM LOANS.

The following article, contributed by
the Kansas State Bankers Association
to Bank Notes." publication issued
by the U. S. Bank Note company, will
be of interest coming as it does from
the other side of the fence. No fur
ther comment is necessary than to say
that Federal Farm Loans are now pos
sible Of obtainment by those who de-
sire them and are qualified to secure
them. The article follows:
GO out and see your neighbors and
find nine other farmers who also want
to borrow money and are ready to say
just how much they need and what they
want the money for.
'These nine neighbors and yourself
must agree to borrow total of Ss0,-
900. Remember that unless it is that
much none of you can borrow cent.
Call meeting of these ten farmers
who need money, organize yourselves
into National Farm Loan Associa-
tion, and elect officers.
"You then appoint committee of
three to appraise the ten farms.
THE committee reports its appraise-
ment, and the various blanks are then
filed in and sent to the Farm Loan
Bank.
Remember that if your farm is
appraised at $4,000, you can borrow
$4,000, and if the improvements are
worth 81, 500, you can only borrow
5000.
"No this appraisement doesn't
settle it. In due course of time fed
eral appraiser sleek looking gentle
man, will come out and make second
appralsement.
Perhaps after driving around and
viewing the ten farms this federal ap-
praiser finds that one of the farms was
appraised too high.
THAT being the case, under the law
the committee must meet again and
make new appraisement, bringing
the amount down to the limit set by the
federal appraiser.
Perhaps just at this time one Of the
ten men dies. This is hard luck all
around. For nine men cannot form
one of these associations, and SO you
must 60 and find another man who
wants To get .. loan and the whole pro-

cess must be repeated.
"But wait minute. The Federal
Land Bank sends word that their attor-
ney finds defect in the title to Bill
Jones land. The title must be correct
ed through the court, or else you must
find another man to take Bill Jones'
place. For you cannot get your loan
unless all ten of the titles are perfect.
''But be patient. In few more
weeks the matter is Strengthened out
and your loan of$3, 900 on your 80, 600
farm, and your loan of $500 on your
$4,000 improvements-this is the limit
you can get--are approved. You are
to get loan of SO, 400.
"But you understand you don't get
the $3, 400 in cash. No, you are re,
quired to subscribe per cent of it for
stock in the Farm Bank. So you only
get in cash SO, $40.
"You understand, that this $l70 in
stock in the bank may or may not draw
interest-that all depends on whether
the stock earns anything.
"You also understand that this $40
in stock had double liability, just
like other bank stock. If your neigh
bors fail you may not only have to lose
the $40, but you may have to dig up
$l7o more. But cheer up, the prob,
ability is that won't happen.
"As to the rate of interest, there is
nothing in the law to show that it is
to be below 6 per cent. There is no
assurance that it will be below that.
mo, you cannot put second mort
gage on the farm, and you cannot sell
it unless the Farm Loan Board grants
the special permission to you to do it.
"You must pay off the loan in reg
ular installments, and cannot make any
payments before five years.
"If you should die your heirs must
assume the obligations in sixty days
or the mortgage will be foreclosed.
'ln case of default in payment the
mortgage will be foreclosed in thirty
days.
"And you say you want the loan in
order to buy feed for your stock' Well
there is nothing doing. The money
cannot be used for that purpose, no
matter how good the security you offer
may be.
These are few of the main con-
ditions of the law"

TERRIB LE LOSS
Of LIFE AS BIC
PLANT BLOWS Up

MONTREAL, August 1S.-A terrific
explosion at the powder plant of Cur
tis and Harvey, Limited, at Riguad.
Quebec, today is believed to have caus-
ed heavy loss of life. Five thousand
men and women are employed at the
plant which covers an area of five
square miles.
Reports received here are to the ef-
feet that the plant was nearly all in
flames.
From points near Rigaud it was
learned that three explosions took
place. The first at o'clock was heard
in Vaudreuil, twenty miles away. 1t
was followed by two others in quick
succession. The explosions disrupted
the telephone and telegraph communi-
cation with Rigaud, making it diff
cult to obtain information Traffic on
the Canadian Pacific railroads Otta-
wa-Montreal line, which passes close
to the plant, has been suspended.
First reports received from the
scene Of the powder explosion state
that in the neighborhood Of 25O per-
sons had been killed
Trainmen who got away from tbs
scene of the explosion reported that
forty houses at Dragon, little VIII
lage near the powder plant, occupied
by the workmen, were razed by the
force of the explosion.
Rigaud is a post village in vaudreuii
county, Quebec, on the Riyiere A La
Graisse, As miles southwest Of Mon
treal. 1t had population prior to the
war of about 1000 persons. The whole
countryside was covered at 10 o'clock
with dense copper-colored smoke. A

here at 10:30 o'clock for the scene of
the disaster

at noon, bringing doctors and nurses.
but owing to the fierce heas, rney
were unable to approach the ruins.
The loss in the value of buildings
and stock will reach well up into mil

The first explosion was caused by
the overheating Of the machinery in
the nitric acid building. The flames
leaped along through the building and
another explosion occurred Most of
the workers, however, are believed to
have had ample time to escape.
Other explosions occurred every five
minutes or so.
While it was estimated that several
hundred persons had been killed. later
reports indicate that the death list
will prove smaller
