FARM LOAN HANDS TIED.
Officials See No Further Activity I'm
til Decision Reached.


Washington, May 4.-Fereral
farm loan officials, in conference
here, have found no way to avoid a
summer of inactivity in loaning
operations. The sessions, which
were practically concluded tonight,
brought convincing evidence, mem
bers said, that no further new bust
ness could be handled until the Su-
preme Court had passed on the va
lidity of the farm loan act.
Despite the fact that the twelve
land banks have borrowed approx
mately $16,000,000 form private
banks to loan to farmers, more than
$50,0OO,000 in applications for loans
have accumulated. In going into the
open market for funds the banks are
losing one-half of one per cent In
~terest, the government rate being
n per cent and the private ratef6
per cent To Offset this loss, how
ever, the net income on the twelve
banks has averaged $4,000
monthly since the first Of the year.
The banks also have assets Of $780,
100000 On which no liens have been
placed, and Commissioner Lobdell
said there al 10 reason for uneasi-
ness as to the systems financial stu
