Washington. - Another scheme for
%swindling the farmers of the United
States has been discovered by the fed
eral farm loan board. A man adver-
Using himself as an authorized organ
lzer Of national farm-loan associations
is sending out advertising matter en-
blazoned with the national flag, stat
ing that he will organize such associa-
tons at $500 each, and will teach 9th
ers the trick for a certain sum of
money. His advertisements have
reached farmers and business men
over a large part of the United States.
He claims to be so busy organizing
national farm-loan associations that
he needs help, but will take time to
teach others for a monetary considera-
ton.
All such representations r fraudu-
lent. In order to borrow under the
farm-loan act, it is necessary for
farmers to organize cooperative ma
tional farm-loan associations in their
local communities. 1t is a violation of
a ruling of the federal farm loan
board, published more than a year ago,
for a national farm-loan association
or a joint-stock land bank to spend
any money for promotion purposes.
Associations thus organized will not
be chartered by the federal farm loan
board. Farmers are warned therefore
against anyone asking a fee for his
proffered services in connection with
applying for a loan under the federal
far1s-loan act.
