Louisville, Ky, Aug. 25-Time
has proven that the federal land
bands are OF benefit to the cCun-
try banks. Walter Howell, presi-
dent of the Louisville Federal
Bank, told members of the Ken
I lucky Bankers Association il an

bring into the country bankers
community additional capital that
can be used for purposes other
than paying for land. he said, as

Briefly" said Mr.. Howell, al
adds to his income.
ter describing the system, the
benefits of the Federal Farm
Loan System to the country bank
ers are that it assists the farne
TO liquidate his indebtedness t
the local banker so that they ca:
use the same money in making
short term loans to the farmer
in his vicinity. 1t brings j.

additional capital that can be IL

lner in closer touch. 1t assists
The farmer in financing him
at a low rate of interest on
terms and thereby makes hin
more prosperous.
"A community is just as pros
porous as the agricultural condi
tions will permit and the countr,
banker is just as prosperous as
his community.
The Louisville Federal Land
Bank has been somewhat short Of
funds for loaning. he said. but it
is anticipated that it will be in po-
sition to increase its loans within
the next year at the rate of one
million dollars a month. "Of
course this one million dollars
will be divided between the four
states. Kentucky, Tennessee, In
diana and Ohio. but we feel that
placing twelve million dollars in
this district within the next year
will add materially to the prosper
itv of the country, he added.
Mr.. Howell called attention to
the fact that country bankers
have loaned large sums to farm
ers to buy land at the peak of
high prices. to buy live stock to
fatten and for other purposes
that he termed Speculative" and
and now cannot collect the mon
ey which cannot be paid until the
farmer can get long term loan.
The federal land bank will not
take loan of less than thirty
three years duration leaving the
short term loans. which can be
paid with the sale of livestock
and crops. to the country banker
By the farmer financing himself
for a lifetime through the fedora
land bank he is able to liQuidatc
his debts to. the country banker
thus getting the money back into
the short loan channels.
He also pointed out that the
country banker is the logical per

also put him into position to 50
