Mortgages Are Refnanced
Through New Farm Act

One of the first benefits to reach
Washington farmers as the result OF
the new farm act recently signed by
President Roosevelt will be through
the farm credits section which con-
tains provisions to cut down excessive
debts, reduce interest rates, postpone
payment of principal, provide direct
loans to farmers for meeting urgent
obligations, and for redeeming land
which has been taken from them by
foreclosure, points out F. E. Balmer
director Of agricultural extension SER
vice, Washington State College.
All those farmers whose mortgages
are held by any Of the IL federal land
banks, one Of which is located in Spo-
kane, will benefit directly under the
new act. There are nearly 100000 of
these farmer-borrrowers, and the am
cunt of their loans aggregates more
than $4,000 900. They are now pay
ing interest rates between and per
cent, the average being about 51a per
cent. Sixty days after the approval of
the act by the President, the interest
rate on all Of these mortgages in the
continental United States will be re-
duced to Az per cent and it must re-
main at that rate for the next five
years. Farmers whose mortgages are
now held by the federal land banks
will save approximately $11,OOO,OOO in
interest payments year for the next
five years.
Low Interest Rates
Any borrowers who receive loans
from the federal land bank through
national farm-loan associations, during
the next two years, will get the benefit
of the same low rate of interest. This
rate is materially lower than the av-
erage rate on farm mortgages through
out the country. The rates fixed by
the federal land banks have always
had a strong influence in determining
the rates charged by other lending
agencies in the farm mortgages field
and it is anticipated that this reduc-
ton in land-bank rates will be fol-
lowed by reduction by other mortgage
holders. If all those who hold farm
mortgages should reduce rates by as
much as per cent on the average,
the saving to farmers in payments on
the aggregate total farm mortgage
debt of $8,500,000,000 would be $685.
100000 annually
Mortgages held by federal land banks
constitute only approximately one
eighth of the total debt of the farm
mortgage debtors. To meet the needs
of the larger class, whose mortgages
are held by others and especially to
protect from the loss of their farm
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1933-05-25

and homes those whose mortgages are
in danger of foreclosure, the act sup.
plies another means of financing Il
authorizes the banks to issue $4,000
100000 of a special type of bond or
which the interest rate may not be
more than per cent. To make these
bonds readily marketable, interest
payment on the bonds is guaranteed
by the federal treasury.
With the funds thus provided, the
federal land banks are enabled to dc
two things. First, from the proceeds
Of the sale of these bonds, the land
banks may make new loans on the
same liberal terms of payment as those
granted to present borrowers. Second
they may exchange these bonds for
farm mortgages. The terms of the
mortgage are to be based on the value
of the property covered by the mort
gage. In no case may the amount OF
bonds given in exchange for mort
gage exceed one-half the fair normal
value of the land as appraised by
land bank appraisers plus 20 per cent
of the value of permanent insured
improvements on the land. Refnancing
of mortgages by this process requires
not only the consent but the active
interest of the person holding the
mortgage.
Redemption of Land
/ The new act, however, provides
other means not only for paying off
existing mortgages, but for the re-
demption of land which has already
been sold under foreclosure, for salts
flying other than mortgage debts, and
for obtaining funds with which to con-
tinue the operation of the farm. The
act provides a fund of 100000, 900
which is to be used by the Farm Loan
commissioner in making direct loans
to farmers for any of these purposes.
Preference is to be given to applica-
.tions of those farmers who wish to
borrow to save their land from fore
closure or to redeem land which has
already been Sold
Where farmers are totally unable to
meet the claims against them, it is
thought that in many cases creditors
will be willing to pool their claims
and accept compromise settlement,
for which the funds will be provided
by the Farm Loan commissioner
through one of these direct loans. This
could be done either by voluntary
agreement of the creditors or through
the action of Cancellation commits
sioner empowered by the federal courts
to make adjustments of this sort.
The act also contains special benefits
for another class of farmers; those

"Blaek Hole of Calcutta"

"Black Hole of Calcutta was the
military Jail of Fort Williams, at Cal
cutta, India, a room about Is feet by
Ia feet 1C inches in size, with only two
small windows barred with iron. In
1855 large native army took posses
sion of the city and all the British who
mad not escaped were imprisoned in it.
This was in the month of June, In
which the tropical heat Of Calcutta is
most oppressive. When the door Of
the prison was opened in the morning,
only 70 persons out Of 156 were found
alive.

WHITE BLUFFS IS COMPL1MENTED

Residents of the White Bluffs community ap-
preciate the nice write-up given us in the va
kma Republic last Friday.
Some of the statements, though, were wee bit
out of line with the true facts Not in 1913 did the
town of White Bluffs move, but in 1915, two years
LATER and the moving wasn't done any particu-
lar day, but over period of months.
Otherwise, the story was in keeping with the
facts This is the center Of an early district and
White Bluffs is growing slowly but surely. Resi-
dents here appreciate the Republics telling the
world about our valley.

To America, now going forward in a
great drive against the economic enc
mics which have invaded the country
! comes a message from the men who
fifteen years ago were giving their lives
in defense of the country against an
armed enemy. 1t comes in the form of
the little red poppy that we will all
be asked to wear on Poppy Day, May
~. 1t tells us to serve and sacrifice
for our country now with the same
patriotic spirit that those men served
and died among the peoples in France
in 1917 and 1918.
The poppy is symbol Of remem-
brance for the World War dead. Pop
pies glowing on every coat on Poppy
Day will show that we still remember
and honor the supreme sacrifice our
war dead made for America. A cou1a-
try which remembers deeds such as
theirs cannot be Indifferent to pres
ent calls for patriotic service. AS long
as the memory of our heroes is kept
bright, America can be confident that
heroic service will come from it's citi-
zens in every hour of need.
The women Of the American Legion
Auxiliary, who will bring us the peoples
on Poppy Day, are carrying out a very
valuable work for the country. With
their memorial flowers they are help
ing keep alive memory more precious
than vast material riches-the mem
DRY of men who were willing to die
that America might live in freedom
and happiness. With the poppy con-
tributions, they are helping carry on
for the disabled veterans and father
less families. With the poppy they are
calling to us all to carry on for Amer
lea in the spirit of those heroic men
the flower commentaries Every Amer
lean who is true American should
show his response by wearing a poppy
on Poppy Day.

DISTRICTS WILL RECEIVE AID

The first loan to be made to an irrigation dis
trict from the reclamation fund under the present
state administration granted to the Richland
Irrigation district last week
It is expected that in the near future loans will
be made to other districts Of the stat as circum-
stances warrant Since Richards case was known
s as as nas6e amG ohe s
will be dealt with more slowly.
The Priest Rapids Irrigation district is one of
the many districts applying for loan from this
fund and if granted, will be able to undertake
improvements at the power plant next winter
which will put this district in an enviable position
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1933-05-25
JUST ONE OBSTACLE

The Priest Rapids valley is fortunate in being
one of the earliest agricultural districts Of the
state For this reason growers here are able to put
their produce on the market ahead of other dis
tricts of the state and receive the highest prices
in return.
Some Of this advantage is lost however, because
of transportation facilities from the valley. 1t is
want it cheaply and quickly enough to profit by
the prices as much as is possible.
To the north Of us-in the up-river country
is vast market for the earlier fruits and vege-
tables If this market easily accessible grow
ers here would be in a much better position
The construction Of the remaining link Of the
North-South highway would overcome this OBJ
stacle and growers here could market their pro-
duce in the up-river districts quickly and cheaply

Mountain Goat Well shod

The ease with which the Rocky
mountain goat is able to adapt itself
to either soft SHOWS or bare rock is
due to the peculiar construction of
the animals hoofs. These have an
outer shell with knifelike edges and
a sort of rubber padding on the inside.
