FARM LOAN BONDS
ARE ON SALE HERE
Only Limited Number Of Loans
Can Be Made at Present
Time

The Hartford National Farm Loan
Association has received rather dis
couraging news for Ohio County far
mers from The Federal Land Bank
of louisville. Only enough applica-
ton blanks to accommodate a portion
of the applicants on hand when the
Bank ceased loaning pending the
Supreme Courts decision, have
been sent to this Association and no
more will be available for some
time. It will be impossible to loan
more money in this County until
more Farm Loan bonds are sold.
The Federal Land Banks have
placed $40, 100000 worth of these
bonds on the market and $4,000
600 worth were sold the first day.
The others are expected to be quick
ly taken up as the bonds are con-
sidered a rather attractive buy.
However, in order not to disorganize
the bond market, it is necessary TO
put the bonds out in limited quanti-
ties. II will be sometime before
another issue will be offered. The
Louisville Federal Land banks quo
ia OF the s4O,000,000 derived from
the first sale Of bonds will be ap-
proximately s3,500,000 and this
must be distributed among 500 as
sociations. The bank sent out in
all 400 blanks AID there is very
little chance OF more money being
loaned unless many Of the present
applications are turned down.
The amount Of loans which will
be placed in this County at this
time is only a drop in the bucket
compared TO The needs Of the far
mers. Informal applications for
over $4,000 have already been
made and there are many farmers
VINO are in sore straits financially.
Some prospects Of relief is held
out ny the bill Thicb,D been in
troduced in congress this week By
Senator Pat Harrison. He would
have congress appropriate $780,
100000 70 invest in he land bank
bonds. II this bill should pass
great relief would be extended TO
the farmers Of tn. country.
Another chance Of so1De relief is
that considerable quantities Of the
Bonds may be SOLD here. The local
Association has received authority
20 EEL tas homes "A ms County and
al tire proceeds from the sale here
VIII 80 20 Increase the amount Of
money available for local farmers.
1t il bopeI that local investors gill
buy o number Of the bonds.
The bonds are to cell AZ par, bear
interest from May u per cent,
and rla FOR twenty years. The most
attractive feature aDolt them is that
they are free from all taxes, incluh.
ing state, county municipal, and in-
come taz, Including surtaE.

a reduction of labor charges was the
only method OF Increasing net earnings
