MORE ACUTE DAILY

With the failure to receive coal
in Pensacola yesterday the short
age becomes more acute, and ser

FARM LOAN BOARD
Continued from page one)

employed freely in the making of farm
mortgages in the past are being kept
in more liquid and available form on
account of the war conditions and a
great deal of local capital heretofore
loaned to farmers has been diverted
because of more attractive interest
rates in other fields.
''All Of this had thrown tremen-
dously increased burden upon the fed
eral reserve system. Not only has the
reduction in the amount of available
funds for farm loans increased the de-
mands upon the system, but it has null
tiplied the difficulties under which it
operated, because the capital which the
federal land banks lend to farmers is
procured by the sale of farm loan bonds
and the sale of these bonds has been
interfered with by this abnormal situa-
ton.
In addition to recommending Secre-
tary cAdoo to purchase $l00,000,000
worth of farm loan bonds this year,
the report urges that the maximum loan
limit be increased from 1000 to $685.
600; that denominations of the bonds
$50 to $40, ''to eliminate the fractional
cent in computing interest,"" and to
amend the existing law so that bor-
rover may pay any or all of his indebt-
edness on any interest date instead Of
after five years as now.
The report recommends amendment of
the present act to allow joint stock
land banks to operate in more than
two states; to increase their limit of
bond issues to twenty times their capi-
tai stock instead of 15 and to raise
the authorized interest rate from . to
5 IL per cent.
(This is not to be confused with the
six per cent maximum interest rate al
lowed federal land banks.)
1t is shown that during 1917 farmers
cooperated in forming 1889 associations
granted charters by the board and that
/ .9S5 other associations are in the pro-
cess of organization. Loans amounting
to $1O5, 1856, ,j29 have been approved.
Owing to delay in formation of these
however, the board estl-
mates that a. year hence it may recon-
mend amendments to the law permit
ting a more direct method of borrowing.
The report states that one-half OF
farm loan bonds for the first SIX months
is taken under present arrangement by
a syndicate of bond houses, the other
half being offered to the public direct.
Without the bond houses, it admits,
She land banks would be inadequately
during the first six months
but because it does look with favor on ,
a permanent arrangement with these
honses. recommends that the treasury
be allowed to enter the buying field.
