The school reorganization bill, In
the absence of any objection in the
Senate, may be tackled on as a rider

More than 1000 farmers were
accommodated with loans from
the Federal Farm Loan Board S
funds during the month Of Janu-
ary. Their aggregate borrowings
were above $15,0O0,0 900. These
loans were for long periods and
at interest rates much below
those charged by money lenders.
Many thousands of farmers have
been directly benefited by this
federal loan Slan since its concep-
ton, and thousands more have
reaped an indirect advantage
through the reduction in interest
rates broughth about by this gov
policy. Like the Fed
eral Reserve system, the farm
loan act is democratic legislation
and is likely to remain on the
books, notwithstanding all the re-
publican threats to repeal it.
