States Loans Are
Put at $40, 1000, 900

A total of 811 loans since last July
which aggregate $3,174,0 900 brings the
current loans of the Minnesota rural
credits board to $4,000, 900. OF the
persons receiving loans from the
board, since it succeeded the old or
ganization last July, not one has
proved delinquent, according to the
secretary.
The board has a fund of $7O,OO0,-
900 to draw on, of which $4,000, 900
was authorized by the 1926 legisla-
ture as an addition to the original al
lowance Of $40,000,0O0.
Increased interest rates on rural
credit loans in southern Minnesota
have forced the farmers of that Sec
ton to avail themselves of the state
aid, according to Mr.. Flowers. Dur
ing the last two weeks loans there to-
tailed $500,000 and agents have been
pressed to handle the rush of appli-
cants. The increase has been a source
OF satisfaction to the board, accord
ing to the secretary, a the southern
Minnesota farmers have been slow to
avail themselves of the states aid.
So far the present board has re-
ceived 1,779 applications. Of that
number % were cancelled Immediately
by the applicants; 287 were rejected,
and S3 applications were cancelled af-
ter approval.

And Mrs. Emerson answered it by
