Operating Deficit Being Traced

At the present time, the banks re-
port discloses, the farm loan depart
ment shows deficit Of $146,574.46
in its operating statement, covering
the period since farm loans were first
made. Until the legislature of 1923
took action, one-half of one per
cent administrative charge made on
each loan went into the hands of the
state treasurer, and no provision was
made for paying the expenses of the
operation of the farm loan depart
ment. Approximately $4,000 was
paid to the state treasurer from the
administrative charge. Although the
1928 legislature provided this charge
in the future should 60 to the farm
loan department, no practical bene-
fit was obtained before April, 1924,
when thFrfirst interest payments un-
der the new law became effective.
The bank now is profiting from this
administrative charge to the extent
Of. about 100000 year, and c. r.

deficit will be wiped out in five
Acre Average Decreases

partment prior to 1922 loaned an
average of $14.07 per acre, the aver

APPLICATIONS
FOR LOANS ON
LAND DECREASE
Report Shows Drop of 81
Per Cent in First Half
of This Year

Reduction in the number of appli
cations for farm loans from the rural
credits department Of the Bank of
North Dakota is shown in the semi
annual statement of the department.
The number of applications in the
first s:X months OF the present year
decreased about % per cent over Il
corresponding period last wear.
There was flood of applications
for farm loans during the postwar
agricultural depression period in the
state, but since 1922 the number of
farmers seeking loans from the state
bank loan department has been go
inp down steadily. In 1922, 5,305 APP
plications for loans were received. of
which 1919 were cancelled; in 1928
the number of applications dropped
to 2,9lO; in 1924 the number went
down to 2,l55; and in the first six
months Of 1925 the applications to-
tailed 7O5. of which 4S4 were Cancelled
after being made.
Average Loan Decreased
Under the present management Of
the bank department, the amount Of
loans has been gradually decreased,
due in part to the banks policy and
in part to the fact that the demand
for big loans has not been so great.
The average Of the loans closed prior
to 1922 was $3,65Gl9. the average
being high in part because of several
loans ranging from $4,000 to $25 900.
Adopting a policy Of reducing the
amount Of the loans, in order to meet
the heavy applications for loans, the
department in 1923 decreased the
average. loan to $3.222.55, and in the
first half of 1925 the average loan
was $2.S23.43.
Reduction in the amount of the
average loan lessons the danger of
