LAND BANK LOANS ARE LARGE.
Over $1,00O,OOO Loaned in -Four
States During Month Of April.
(The State, May 14.)

High w;ter mark for a single
months loans on farms was reached
by the Federal Land Bank during
the month Of April, when 10000
was loaned to farmers in North Car
olina, South Carolina, Georgia and
Florida.
The land bank is steadily increas-
ing In popularity as it's methods of
making 'oans to farmers become bet
ter known. The bank allows thirty
six years to pay back the loan, and
the amortization plan is growing in
favor rapidly. In running up inter-
est rates yesterday r. f.. Welch es-
timated that OH the loans made dur
ing April $1,364,0OO would be saved
to farmers during the thirty-six-year
reriod-that Is, this amount will be
saved to farmers who would ordi-
narily have borrowed funds from
commercial banks at the usual rates
Of interest.
ID. A. Houston, president Of the
Federal Land Bank. in speaking Of
farms and mortgages yesterday, said:
There are about 100000 farms
in the United States; forty per cent
Cor 2,4O0, ,000) are under mortgages.
These, of course, were handled as
Short-term loans, and we're, there
fore, subject to all Of the pain and
penalties of frequent renewals. This
mortgage debt. or the 40 per cent of
the whole, amounts to about Sc, ,O0O.-
600, 600. When it is recalled that,
under the amortization plan, which
is the required method of liquidation
under the Federal Farm Loan Act.
there was difference in favor Of the
banks over the same period, ut the
same rate, on 1000 loan, Of
$624.12, as against the old way, or
no amortization. Then this means
that if this $4,000. .OO0.O 900 could be
eventually iloated by the Federal
Land Banks, with their comDarativc-
ly low rates of interest and long peri
DDS Of payment, or liquidation, the
farmers Of the United States would
save for the added comforts of home,
education Of children and general efn-
cheney as the wealth producers Of the
nation, $3,7lS.320, 1000 in interest
alone in lhirty-SiX years. If the com
pariSon be made with S per cent for
> per cent as in our first analysis.
then the farmers would pay for the
thirty-siX years at s per cent as
against > per cent for like priod the
greater sum Of $l0,235, 900. 900"

TRADING ON WALL ST.
IS ACTIVE AND BROAD
Vigorous Buying Of Railroad and

trial List Hesitant

New York. May J.--The New York
Evening Suns financial review this
afternoon is as follows:
In view of the holiday tomorrow in
honor of the returned soldiers. it would
not have been surprising il today's seS
sion of the stock market had been dull
and perhaps heavy That such did not
prove To be the ease was due TO several
constructive events of the first import
ance. Trading was both active and
broad. The industrial list was hest
tant. as compared with the movement
in the first two or three weeks. but
with one or two exceptions gains of II
fraction to u point or more were the
rule.
The feature of the days business.
however. was vigorous buying of the
railroad aud traction shares. The first

Congress might be called to meet before
June >. the date which has lattcrly been
discussed. 1t is not wholly clear that
the return of the roads at an early date
should be II bullish factor.
The fact seems to be that the pos
sibility alluded to was rendered more
effective than it could otherwise have
been FROM the circumstance that the
rails have not advanced in anything
like the proportions which the indus
rials have and. accordingly. are mOiv
susceptible to manipulation purposes.
One or two of the low priced rails were
not in line. especially Denver and Ri"
Grande preferred. which was weak.
Reading. Canadian Pacific, Great
Northern. Delaware and Hudson. New
York Central and so on, were the most
actively bid up. 1t appeared that the
change in the Public Service Ccmmis-
sion orga nizatiO met with favor among
holders of traction shares. as that group
was unwOntedly animated and strong
and the bonds also. particularly the
IuterborOugh Metropolitan 4 IS and the
Interborough Rapid Transit Company

FILM MEN DISCUSS
PUBLICITY METHODS

The proper channels for advertising
inns to the public came under dis
cussion saturday evening when visit
ing movie trade paper men met the
advertising heads of the local press
at supper given at the National
Press club by Tom Moore, OF thrs
city. Mr.. Moore explained why he
restricted his publicity campaign to
newspapers solely.
Charles f. Hastings, associate edi-
tor of the Exhibitors Trade Review Of
New York. told of unsuccessful and
costly efforts at film exploitation
through car cards. j. 2. Dickinson
of the Motion Picture News, New
York, said he believed in the daily
newspaper as a medium tor reaching
the whole public, independent of all
other aids, but doubted IL it was
practicable for picture advertisers to
adopt such a policy in all parts of
the country.
I'm fact. in a few instances / rec
commended no advertising at ALL said
Mr.. Dickinson. He FASTENED to tell
that this was in remote communities
which claimed newspapers of little
or no circulation.
Another of the Manhattan trade
press visitors, j. w. AllicoaAe, OF
Wid's Daily. former Washington
man. said that while there was no
question film advertising should be
restricted TO newspaper mediums, the
advertising executives of the film
companies in New York. should not
be given that recommendation on the
mere basis of economy, but should be
taught to spend the same sums over
again, simply concentrating them m
newspapers, at least until a fair test
could be had.
