LAND BANK LOANS In CECIL

Federal land bank and land bank
commissioner loans made to Cecil
County farmers from May 1888 up
to July this year amounted to more
than 100000, according to state
ment today from E. P. Crider, vice.
president of the Federal Land Bank
of Baltimore.
A total of 271 loans have been
made in the county in the 3-year
period since the Farm Credit Admin
istration was organized. While farm
ers here and elsewhere in the State
used most of the money to refinance
their old debts into long-term loans,
larger proportion of loans is now
going to finance the purchase of
farms
The Federal Land bank loaned
Cecil County farmers 100000 on
first mortgages in the 3-year period,
and loaned $306,600 from funds of
the land bank commissioner on first
and second mortgage security.
Commissioner loans, first authoriz-
ed in 1898, were made in amounts
not to exceed rs per cent of the
appraised normal value of the prop
erty. These loans were used almost
entirely at first for emergency re-
financing. The Farm Credit Act of
1885 authorized using them to re-
finance farm purchases with the
idea that this would give many
farmers, particularly young men and
tenants, a better chance to buy
farms. Experience. equipment, and
reasonable down payment are re-
quired.
Since the act was passed, Mary
land farmers have obtained over
$40, 700 from the land bank and
commissioner to assist in buying
farms.

BY FRANCIS E. STAN,
Staff Correspondent of The Star.

~ ETRoIT, September Still in
a second-place race so close
that Shanty Hogan's uniform
could cover the five contend
ers, Washington's base ball firm
launched its final round trip of the
year today over route that spelled
disaster when last travelled.
For the Nationals the current jaunt,
which in both major leagues will mark
the most abrupt shifting of teams
in history, is the most important of
the campaign. Right from the out
set, which is today and in Detroit,
the Griffmen will be carrying the fight
to each of their three closest rivals
the Tigers, Indians and White SoX.
Only II games will be played on
the tour, which not only embraces
stops at each Western way station,
but three-game series in New York
before the club returns home Sep
tember 21 In no city except New
York will the Nationals linger longer
than two days.
Tomorrow will conclude the two
game Tiger series. Then to Cleveland
will move the Mats for two more games.
In Chicago, next stop, three games
will be played in two days. st. Louis,
the last pause on the tour, will be
marked by two games that will end
all Western campaigning for the
WaShingtons.
