See Relief for
Farmers in Bill
Measure, Favorably Reported
To Senate, Authorizes u S.
Treasury to Buy 500, 0,o0O,-
900 in Farm Loan Bonds.

Relief for farmers who have been
l,ampered in their operations by lack
of credit is seen by officials Of the
Omaha Federal Loan bank in bill
authorizing the United States treas
ury to buy $l00,000,000 of farm loan
bonds. This measure. which i
sponsored by Senator'S Swanson and

TO the senate ard dispatches indicate

agriculture appropriation bill.
with this sum q great deal could
be done to relieve conditions on the
farms and in the small towns" said
Merton L. Corey, general attorney
for the Omaha land bank, yester-
dav. THE share of this district
which includes Nebraska, Iowa,
Wyoming and South Dakota, prob.
ably would amount to $l0,000,000
and this money would make a vast
improvement if put i'll circulation
here.
"The federal farm loan banks
which have been. tied up by suit
attacking their right to issue tax
exempt bonds. would be able to
resume business full blast through
the spring and early summer. 1t is
probable that we would have to
make a careful selection of borrow
crs and not attempt to refund other
mortgages, but only take new busi-
ness
The Omaha land bank made loans
approximating S4S,000,000 in a
period of a little more than two
years. Payment is on an amortiza-
ton plan, and less than $1,000 OF
payments on $l,000000 due in the
last 90 days are said to remain uil-
paid.
