suspended because of pending litiga-
tion, officials of the Farm Loan Board
said today.
The land banks of the farm loan
system were declared to be in a
stronger position financially than at
any period since they were organized.
Net earnings of the banks last month,
amounting to S257,O00, were the
largest in their history. This was ex-
plained by the fact that these banks,
unlike commercial banks, do not have
to depend upon current transactions
for earnings.
Officials stated that on the unpaid
balance OF loans made by land banks
for terms approximating thirty-f four
years, amounting to f344, 4,476, 100,
there is a net annual income OF from
one-half to ! per cent Increase in
the net income for July was explained
by the fact that while the fixed gross
income was the same, the several land
banks, because Of suspension OF loan
operations, have decreased their
operating expenses.
