"Real" VaIues Rule

TEMPORARY fluctuations in value of farm
lands, while making private loans sometimes
difficult to float, are disregarded by the Govern
ment in loans advanced through the Federal
Land Banks. The money loaned out is intended
for long term paper rather than short-term and
for that reason long range view of values IS
taken.
The intent of the Federal Land Bank law Is
to aid farmers in distress and. while due
sideration is given to the interest Of investors
in order that their money be protected. more
liberal view is taken than might be held by
private loans when temporary slumps in value
occur.
