by the Columbia federal land bank,
to farmers Of the southeast, according
to David; H. Houston, president: of the
bank, who stated Wednesday that his
institution Is. receiving a large num-
ber Of applications for loans. MIR.
Houston Stated that the federal board

its bonds Immediately, preferring to
make careful study Of the money
market before offering the bonds for
sale: It is expected, that during
April, Mr.. Houston; stated, the board
will issue bonds to produce revenue
with which to make loans to the
farmers. Mr.. Houston states that
new land associations are being form
ed in many sections and the applica-
tions for loans are coming in rapidly.

been authorizedfr this; depending en-
tilely on the sale of bonds for the
land banks. The. Columbia land banks
operations have been greatly aug
mented since the supreme courts de-
cision that the land bank act IS con-
stitutional.- It is believed that. the
making of loans by the bank will
greatly benefit the agricultural. inter-
ests of the country. The Columbia
bank covers the southeastern states.
