LOANS TO

President Wilson has placed AT the
disposal OF the Treasury and Agri
cultural Departments $4,000, 900 To
enable them to furnish aid to whea,
growers In certain sections of the
west who have lost two successive
crops by winter killing and drought.
The Federal land banks will act as
financial agents 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
It's promise to support them in such
financing, II is believed, will amplv
provide for them.
Loans from this fund will be made
To individuals who have not banking

Will be- advanced upon the crop of
wheat or substitute grains planted

The use of the fund will be under
the Joint control OF the Treasury and
