Loans to Farmers.

President Wilson has placed at
the disposal of the Treasury and
Agricultural Departments S5,OO0.-.
600 to enable them to furnish aid
to wheat growers in certsin sections
of the West who have lost two sue
cessive crops by winter killing and
drought. The Federal land banks
will act as financial agents of the
of the Government to make and
collect the loans
This fund is not intended to be
lent to farmers who have banking
collateral; the action of the War
Finance Corporation in urging the
banks TO finance such farmers and
its promise to support them in such
financing, it is believed, will amply
provide for them.
Loans from this fund will be
made to individuals who have not
banking collateral, and only where
it is necessary to enable a farmer
to continue to grow food products.
The money will be advanced upon
the crop of wheat or substitute
grains planted on the land, and no
loan will he in excess of So per acre
and no applicant finance beyond
100 acres.
The use of the fund will be under
the joint control of the treasury
and Department of Agriculture; as
the machinery for the work is al
ready in existence, no substantial
delay is expected
