MONT. FARMERS OANED
OVER MILLION DOLLARS

1892 loans aggregating $2,914,6OO.
These commissioners loans are
made from a fund provided by
congress to help the farmer re-
finance his Indebtedness.
Current statistics show that this
money being loaned is not adding
materially to the total farm debt.
More than SO per cent of all of
the money loaned by the bank in
the last year, acting for itself and
for the commissioner, has gone to
refinance farmers debts; that is,
to pay off other mortgages, the
hardware dealer, grocery store,
implement concern, etc. A sub
stantial part of it has gone to
pay back taxes as we'll.
Loans are about evenly divided
in dollar volume among the four
states, Montana. Idaho and Ore
gon each getting more than a
million-dollar share.
