NnT R51,ISHING LOANS
CATHRO EXPLAINS

MOI RUSHING LOANS
"A casual study of the bank statement
published by Director General Cathro
explains why he is not rushing these
loans. The only available money to
SO loan as the deposits which amount
to something less than S12,00O,OOO. The
cash on hand amounts to $l2,1S4O0O.
TO make farm loans for (Which appll-
cations have already been made, would
only leave $1,O00,000 OF the public
funds At the rate the applications
are coming in, this would be entirely
exhausted by March 1st. In othcr
words, ,I'the Bank cannot make farm
loa!ls until it can sell bonds.
q The farm loan department Of the
bank is virtually out of commission un-
til state farm mortgage bonds can be
sold. It will be recalled that $1,000
900 of the 100000 bonds, the sale
!, OF which tho state attempted TO nego-
tiate with Chicago and New York
Bonding Companies were farm loans

proval at the hands of the bonding at
torneys in exactly the same manner
and for the same reasons that the bank
bonds failed, 0.,s
APPLICATIONS UP TO s25;ooo,oo
1t is probable that at the present
rate the first year will sec application
made at tho hank for from. twenty tn
twenty-five millions Of farm loans. II
is quite apparent that the deposits
OF the bank will run from ten to fif-
teen millions. 1t will also be noted
re- ~ g
+. to $27O75, and that the certificates OF
deposit, other than of public funds
amount to only $ll.307, 1t seems cleal
that the people OF the state or Of the
United States are not rushing the Bank
E of North Dakota with their deposits
4, IT., must furnish the capital for the
industries when they are to be estab-
lished since the bonds cannot be sold
In fact, If the cash assets Of the bank
were $50,000,000 instead Of $12,OOO, 900
there would not be any more thar
enough money to so around and take
care of its needs.
CAUSES DISSATISFACTION
The failure of the farm loan depart
mclit of the bank to furnish loans as
advertised is leading to widespread
dissatisfaction. 1t is significant tha1
when the actual loans made are only
sl27,512, that there had been with
drawn, after application has been made

CATIIRO EXPLAINS
Evidently Director General Cathro
feels that this showing needs a word OF
explanations. He therefore points out
that the farm loan department cOulq
not make loans until he had perfected
the organization of a transit depart
ment and a proper auditing system. II
appears that these two necessary rae
tors In making farm loans nave peer
properly perfected, and hencctorth
loans will be speedily made.
This assurance of Director Genera
'Cathro, however. is not convincing
This feeling is strengthened when rs
points out that owing to the snow anc
cold weather appraisal will be post
poned until spring, and while it Is
perfectly all right for the farmers tt
keep on making applications, it mus
be understood, however, that they can
not expect the appraisal until spring
and even then it will take some time
to grind the loan through the translI
department, whatever that may pc
Z and through the auditing department.
FARMERS MUST WAIT
Director General Cathro furthel
strengthens doubts as to-. his ablllt..
and intention to make these loans
when he admonishes farmers Of TN
state who want loans that they mus
not become impatient if their letters
Of inquiry are not answered; tina
owing to tho great rush of busines
