From May, '33, to End Last Year, 50
Big Horn Co. Farmers Loaned
$158,000 Pay Old Debts.

Refinancing debts through the
Farm Credit administration has
saved Big Horn county farmers
more than $4,000 a year on in
terest alone, according to figure:
from the central office of the
Farm Credit administration in
Washington.
Over 1858 900 of farm debts with
interest rates that averaged rs
per cent a year have been re-
financed with long-term mort
gage loans carrying interest rates
of S per cent a year or less.
The figures show that the local
National Farm Loan association
has been a big factor in making
these long-term mortgages avail
able at low interest rates. The
association guarantees loans to
the federal land bank.
From May 1888, when the Farm
Credit administration was organ
lied, to the end of last year, 81
Big Horn county farmers obtained
$158,OOO for the specific purpose of
refinancing old debts.
The Federal Land Bank made 10
first mortgage loans and the Land
Bank Commissioner IS loans.
Many of the commissioners loans
were made on second mortgage
security to farmers who also OBJ
tanned first mortgage loans. Most
land bank loans are endorsed by
associations and advanced from
funds obtained by selling farm
loan bonds. The commissioner
lends from funds provided by the
federal government.
AS in the past. the federal land
banks are making loans only OH
first mortgage security, lending
up to about one-half of the ap-
praised normal value of the farm
property. The commissioner lends
on second as we'll as first mort
gage security in amounts up to
rs per cent of the value. The larg-
est amount of a commissioner loan
to one farmer is $500.
An act of congress last sum-
mer temporarily reduced interest
rates on all federal land bank
loans-old and new. Where land
bank loans are made through
National Farm Loan associations
the rate is only ga per cent for
all interest PAYABLE in the year
ending June 80. 1886, and 4 per
cent a year in the two years fol-
lowing. This temporary reduc-
ton of interest rates on all fed
eral land bank loans is paid for
by the federal government, which
reimburses the banks for what
otherwise would be a loss to them.
Due to favorable investment
market conditions when the fed
eral land banks sold bonds re-
Gently, the banks can offer new
loans, at present, at the interest
rate of 4 per cent a year-tlle
lowest at which they have ever
lent monev.
The statement from the Farm
Credit administration points out
that a farmer who gets a federal
land bank loan through the local
National Farm Loan association
while the 4 per cent interest rate

Room in Hardin

A farmer meeting has been
called for Friday, April 18th, at

Hardin to discuss the new farm
program known as the Soil Con-
servation and Domestic Allotment

1t calls for a reduction of 1870 of
the grain crops and an increase
in acreages to Offset such decrease
to be planted to legumes or grass
es which will build up the soil.
Payments will be made on the
reduction of acreage as well as on
the increase of legumes or grass
acres.
A temporary organization COM
mittee has been appointed, rep

SENATE LOBBY /
BILL is TOSSED
OUT BY HOUSE
Substitute Would Miss Best
Washington Lobbyists, Is
Capital Consensus.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON. March 81. -
House leaders have dumped the Sem
ateS drastic anti-lobby bill in the
ashcan and have scheduled for con-
sideration today substitute which
will miss some of the most effec-
tive lobbyists in town by upward of
half a mile.
The bill of Senator Hugo Black
Cd, Ala) passed last year sought
registration and reports from all
persons who accepted pay for at
tempting to influence legislation or
to influence any government de-
partment or Federal employe any-l
where. A similar bill passed the
Senate in 1923, but got nowhere
in the House.
The House Judiciary COMMITTEES
now has reported to the floor for
consideration a bill prepared by
Rep. Howard w. Smith Cd, Va
which would exempt departmental
lobbyists from registration.
The effect will be to exempt from
registration highly paid lawyer-lob-
byists and others whose activities
are related more directly to busi-
ness before government departments
than to legislation pending in Con-
gress.
Neither the Black bill nor the
milder House substitute would
reach WaShington's so-called So
cial lobby which operates around
the dinner tables and in the draw
ing rooms of smart hosteSses.
