LAND BANK
PROPOSES
PAYMENT PLAN

Pacific northwest farmers who have
Federal Land Bank loans not only
can protect their future, but make a
profitable investment by paying into
a new future payment fund plan in
augurated by the bank, R. E. Brown,
president of the Federal Land Bank of
Spokane, announced this week. In
addition, Brown said, such funds will
make a real contribution to national
defense
Such future payment funds are de-
posits against future loan installments
and interest, Brown said They are
designed specifically to protect the
farmer against future lean years. Such
funds will not be applied on the loan
until the farmer so instructs the land
bank, unless by some mischance he is
unable to make his regular payments,
in which case the deposit would be
applied automatically.
Future payment funds will draw in
terest at the same rate the farmer
pays on his mortgage loan, Brown ex-
planned.
"A future payment fund created by
farmers under this plan will increase
the amount available for the Federal
Land Bank to invest in government
securities" Brown pointed out. "That
means that while the farmer is pro-
tecting his farm and home for the
future, and while his investment is
90 inc 10 Of ;,,+o l.,
money at the same time will be doing
service for national defense through
reinvestment by the land bank"

Poems Certain Guys SaveI
Oh Lord, never lived where churches grow;
l loved creation better it stood
That day you finished it SO long
And looked upon work and called it good.
| know that others find you in the light
That's sifted down through tinted window pains
And yet feel you tonight
In the dim quiet starlight the plains.
Let me be easy the man that's down
And makes square and generous with all.
I'm careless sometimes Lord when I'm in town.
But let them say I'm small
Make wide and open the plains
AS honest the horse between my knees,
Clean the wind that blows behind the reins,
Free the hawk that circles down the breeze
Forgive me- Lord, when sometimes forget
You know about the reasons that are hid,
You know about the things that gall and fret,
You know me better than my mother did.
Just keep eye all that's done and said,
Just right sometimes when | turn aside,
And guide the long, dim trail ahead
That stretches upward to the Great Divide
