Federal Land Bank
Declared 600 Dividend

Spokane, Dec. 31.-More than
5000 Montana farmers and ranch
ers will share in a $4,000 (6R(
dividend declared as Of Nov. 80,
1947 by the Federal Land Bank of
Spokane, R. E. Brown, president,
announced here today.
Brown said approximately $4,000
of the total dividend will be paid
to the 10 local, cooperative national
farm loan associations in Montana
which make and service loans for
the bank and which own $664,00 of
the banks capital stock. These 10
associations, in turn, will pass the
dividend on to their 1921 member
stockholders, retaining only a small
portion needed to assure a long
time, sound business operation.
"The Federal Land Bank of Spo-
kane is owned by its borrowers
through 76 national farm loan as
sociations in Montana, Idaho, Ore
gon and Washington" said Mr..
Brown. "These associations own
every dime of the banks capital
stock and some $4,000 farmers and
ranchers own all the stock of the
associations. Being cooperatives, the
bank and the associations, after pro-
viding for necessary reserves, dis
tribute their earnings to stockhold-
ers in the form of dividends. The
current dividend is the fourth con-
secutive n in as many years."
