MAY
BORROW $1,000
UNDER NEW ACT
Limit Set at 7596 of Apprais-
ed Value; Interest is Set at
SO on 10 to 4O-Year Repay
ment Term

The new farm loan act provides
that money borrowed may be used
to refinance indebtedness Of form
ers or provide working capital for
farm operations and to redeem or
forclosed farm pIcrer-
ty.
Under the act the term farm
err means any individual who is
engaged in farming operations,
either personally or through an
agent or tenant, or the principal
part of whose income is derived
from farming operations. Corpor-
ations are not eligible.
The act places limit of $4,000
on the amount that may be loaned
to any one farmer. The amount Of
the mortgage or Of the new loan
together with all prior mortgages
of other Indebtedness secured by
such farm property may not ex-
coed rs percent of the appraised
value thereof. -
When loans made under this act
are secured by second mortgage
upon farm real estate, the commits
sioner will require the holder Of
the first mortgage to limit his
right to proceed against the farm
er and-or the mortgaged property
depending upon the aggregate
amount of the first and second
mortgages. Where the total amount
of indebtedness including first
mortgage and second mortgage
made under this loan does not ex-
coed $4,000, loans will be made by
the commissioner only in case the
holder Of the first mortgage agrees
that during a period of three
years he will not proceed against
the mortgagor and-or the mort
gagged property for default in the
payment of principal unless in the
meantime the commissioner con-
sents in writing to such proceed
ings. When the mortgages exceed
$1,000 then this period is lengthen-
ed to five years.
The value of the property as u
basis for loans will be determined
by an appraiser sent out by the
commissioner to determine equi-
table valuations. Consideration will
be given among other things to
number of acres Of good crop land,
number in pasture, number in ORCH
ard or waste, character and condi.
tion of the soil; rain fall, drainage,
irrigation system, susceptibility to
erosion, and prevalence Of insect
pests and plant diseases. Appli-
cants will be required to pay fees
to cover the cost of appraisal, de-
termination Of title and recording.
The interest rate is not to exceed
5 percent and loans may be paid
off in from 10 to 40 years. Interest
is paid semi-annually. Payments
upon principal do not begin until
the 9TH year. Payments then are
on the 10 year plan, 1-20th Of the
principal semiannually plus inter-
est on unpaid principal semi-an-
nually.

plication should write F. H. Lang

that they would like to make an
Following this the APP
praiser will visit the place and re-
port back to the agent who upon
consideration of tn appraisers re-
port, reports back to the farmer

TELL
BOARD POWER
RATE TOO HIGH
Company Claims Every Eff
fort Has Been Made to Help
Growers During Period Of
Low Farm Returns

A large crowd of irrigation farm
ers from the Kennewick, Pasco,
Richland and Hanford- White Bluffs
regions attended the hearing on
power rates here today being con-
Quoted thruout the state by E. K.
Murray, Director of Public Works.
George A. Peter, Kennewick val
ley farmer declared his irrigation
fosts for seven-acre tract in 1881
was 1926 and $3.50 for six acres
in 1882. He asserted the source of
the trouble may be found in the
fact that with the low prices for
farm produce "it is not so much
the high power rate, but the man
ner Of rating power and the power
company's method of Juggling the
rates." He. said that although the
power rating method has been
changed several times since. 1915
he has found that the actual cost
Of electric energy has remained
practically the same and what the
farmer needs is flat rate, paying
for the power he actually uses.
George Stricken, Hanford, said
he can't afford to operate his 20
acre tract with the cost of power
still up and the price of farm COM
nlodities down. He said the power
cost was his biggest burden and
that electric energy for irrigation
purposes costs more than its USE
fulness.
E. C. Mock, Hanford, said he
has paid the power company ap-
proximately $4,000 in ten years to
irrigate his farm of 20 acres and
that last year he was forced to
reduce his irrigation acreage to 18
acres. He also asserted that power
costs were too high for the pres
ent price Of farm products.
A large number of the farmers
from the Hanford- White Bluffs re-
gion declared they have been fore
ed to reduce their farm acreages
because of lowered prices and the
cost Of irrigation.
Roy Skill, district manager for
the Pacific Power & Light Co. de-
clared before the investigation
committee that the power company
has done everything in its power
to aid the farmers and that they
have continued power service de-
spite the fact that bills were de-
linquent, in order to permit the
growers to obtain loans and con-
tinue the operation Of their farms.
A similar hearing is to be held
in Yakima Friday and Director
Murray said the final hearing on
the amassed data is to be held at
the capitol June IL.

In the aggregate, millions OF dollars

Twenty fifth State.

MONTPELIER, VT, September (P).
vermont was on record today as the
twenty-fifth successive State to vote for
repeal of the eighteenth amendment.
A light vote was cast yesterday by
citizens of the Green Mountain State,
long a stronghold of prohibition forces,
and by midnight the complete vote from
the 248 towns and cities was:
For repeal, Al l,220; against, 20631.

ing each of the IA counties, will meet

umn. They were Lamoille, located in
the north central part of the State;
Orleans, adjoining it on the northeast,
and Orange County, in the west CEN
tai portion.
The few prohibition majorities were
recorded in the rural section upon
which prohibition forces had relied.
The repealists more than fulfilled their
hopes of large majorities in the larger
communities of Western Vermont.
Rutland City voted 1882 to 681 for
repeal; Montpelier, the State capital,
gave the vets a 1.358-to-535 majority;
1099, and ST Adams, close to the
Canadian border went more than s
