May Ban Loans to
Farmers of State
Possibility Looms As Result OF
Recent Enactment of
State Legislature
LETTER DISCLOSES ISSUSE
Federal Farm Loan Chief Study
ing Situation and Will
Make Ruling

Possibility that North Dakota farm
ers will be denied the benefits of the
new farm refinance plan of the fed
eral government was indicated We'd
nesday In a letter received by local
realtor from w. L. Day, assistant to F..
H. Klawon, president of the Federal
Land Bank at st. Paul.
The reason given for holding up dis
tribution Of application blanks in
North Dakota was the operation of
Senate Bill No. 3, passed at the last
legislative session as an emergency
measure. It prohibits the collection
OF deficiency judgments and now is
before the state supreme court for a
decision as to its constitutionality.
The local man had asked for sup
ply OF blanks in order that his clients
might take advantage of the federal
refinancing program.
In reply Day said: while we have
released application blanks In small
quantities to the local association
secretary treasurers, all loaning In
North Dakota is being held suspended
at this time awaiting the ruling from
the farm loan commissioner as to
whether or not we are able to make
loans IN view of the provisions OF
Senate Bill No. 3.
I'VE do not believe it advisable
therefore, to release further applica
tons and send you q supply as re-
quested In your letter of the 18th. We
will suggest that, If you keep in touch
with the local SECRETARY treasurer, he
will probably know as quickly as any.
one OF any new developments"
The letter was written at st. Pau
on May 10.
The local associations referred to ir
the letter were the local Nationa
Farm Loan associations or cooperative
farmers organizations through which
the land bank functions.

ing:
That Koetecki, indicted four
months ago for malfeasance as a re-
suit of alleged laxity in checking

charged the city was defrauded Of
half q million dollars, believed Wendt

fore the grand jury; that Koetecki
was driven to distraction by the in
dictment and personal financial diff
ficulties; that Koetecki feared recall

operating on a restricted basis and
two have been closed, according to
State Bank Examiner Gilbert SEEMING
son.
Not included in the above is the
First State Bank Of New Salem, which
was re-opened recently after having
been closed for about two years.
"Of the % banks which still are
operating on restricted basis the
fault does not lie entirely with the
banks" said Semingson. Most of
them are on restricted basis be-
cause we have not been able to give
them the examination required. With
149 banks to examine since the loli-
day was declared off we have worked
as fast as possible to open all the
banks. Under the circumstances it
was impossible for us to employ addi-
tional examiners, so some of them
have been compelled to wait until we
could get to them"
Semingson considers the record
made by the state banks in the state
exceptionally good, he said.
