43 AT MEET OF
KENT FARMERS
Continued From Page One)

| farmers are assured of cheap
money for the duration of their
loans and the satisfaction of know
ing that by keeping up their pay
ments they are increasing the
equity in their farms, in addition
to paying off the mortgage in full
at the expiration of the loan. This
plan eliminates the worry and cost
of renewing notes and the possibil-
ity of being unable to refinance
farm mortgages in time of finan-
cial stress resulting from agricul-
tural and economic depressions.
The Federal Land Banks have
stood the test, and their record is
sufficient proof that their opera
tions are not confined to periods of
prosperity. Because of the cooper
ative nature of this system, farm
ers have the opportunity to obtain
this financial assistance which
would not be available if there
were no banking institutions of
this kind to offer these farm mort
gage loans. ]. w. Foster from the
secretary's Office of the Federal
Land Bank in Baltimore was pres
ent at this meeting and outlined in
very clear manner, with the aid
of charts, the activities of the
bank and the county association
during the past year. He stated
that the Baltimore bank, which
serves the states of Delaware,
Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia
and West Virginia, has adopted a
new policy of loan servicing, and
that work was progressing
throughout the district in effecting
this policy. One of the chief fea-
lures of this plan is to bring the
local borrowers in closer touch
with their association, thereby Gre
ating a more discriminating hand
ling of borrowers accounts, and a
more personal interest in the af-
fairs of the organization. Follow
ing the talk by Mr.. Foster, the
stockholders elected the directors
of the association for the year 1887
including G. E. Keyes. Farming
ton; w. D. Scott, Harrington; H.
G. Richardson, Wyoming; o. r.
Wright, Pennington; and E. r.
Dick, Smyrna. At the organization
meeting of the board of directors
G. E. Keyes was elected president,
w. D. Scott vice-president, Mrs.
Helen K. Wright secretary-treas-
urer, and o. r. Wright assistant
secretary-treasurer. In concluding
this annual meeting President
Keyes said that he full realized the
responsibility attached to this po-
sition and, working with the other
members of the board, would strive
to maintain for the association the
high standard as a cooperative
credit organization it has earned in
this county.
