clear. but also helped unfreese
the assets Of many banks, in
surance companies. and other
holders Of farm mortgage loans.
On the other hand, this same
policy of lending on normal
values has been a major infiu-
Ience In preventing uncontrolled
imitation in farm lands in the
period Of rising prices during
and following World War II.
Another important contribu-
ton Of the cooperative land bank
system has been its policy of al
lowing member ; borrowers to
pay OF their loans ahead of
time. It has also encouraged
farmers to set aside part of
their income in good years to
meet future installments on
their loans in what is called the
future payment fund" The
system pays interest to members
on these funds.
The system has also built UP
Ia record OF sticking with farm
Iers in periods d adversely if they
ARE doing their honest best and
have q reasonable propect Of
paying on their loans over the
long pull.
Although the 1.I00 national
farm loan associations and 70
land banks are Federally char
tered, and the Government
helped farmers by providing the
original capital for the land
banks. the entire system has
been completely farmer-owned
since l947.
Each ber-borrower from
the system invests an amount
equal to 5 per cent of his loan
in the stock of his local national
farm loan association. This
stock entities each member to
one vote in the election of direc-
tors and other affairs of the
associations.
Since the land bank systems
Organization lin 1917 farmers
have obtained 1,383,389 farm
mortgage loans from it for $5.7
billion. Farmers now have STA
billion outstanding from the
system in such loans.
The farmer investments in the
capital of the system total $84
million. The system has built up
reserves of $3.50 million.
Most of the cooperative land
bank systems lending funds are
obtained by selling farm loan
| bonds. backed in large part by
farmers mortgages. to investors
in all parts Of the country. These
bonds issued by the Federal
land banks are not guaranteed
by the Government in any way.
The land banks now have a total
of $l.l billion of these bonds
outstanding.
1t is this strong. fully tested,
lco-operative credit organization
of Federal land banks and ma
tional farm loan associations
that is again setting the pace
lin the handling of farm mort
gage loans---this time in loans
on part time farms.

Governor. Farm Credit Administration
A growing number of people
who want to combine farming
and a city or town paycheck are
going to find it easier to finance
their farm home in the years
ahead.
Congress in the Farm Credit
Act of 1855 has authorized the
Federal land bank system to
give greater consideration to the
home value and income earned
of the farm in appraising farms
operated by part-time farmers.
Previously the law did not rec
ognize these factors to as great
an extent in making Federal
land bank loans through the
HOO national farm loan asso-
Citations.
Some local commercial banks
and individuals have been A.
nancing part-tilme farms. But
many lenders on city, town or
farm real estate have not been
anxious to lend to part-time
farmers.
Those who have loaned money
on part-time farms have usually
written their loans for a short
number of years and have been
inclined to charge higher inter-
est rates than those charged on
city homes or commercial farm
properties.
Loans through national farm
loan associations are usually
written for periods of from 10 to
40 years. The interest rate on
loans ranges from 4 to S per
cent. In Maryland and Virginia
1t is 4l2 per cent.
The national farm loan asso-
Citations serving the nearby sec
tons of Maryland and Virginia
are located at Frederick and
Upper Marlboro. Md, and War
renton. Va. The association at
Warrenton maintains a branch
Office at Leesburg.
To be eligible for a loan from
the cooperative land bank sys-
tenn a part time farmer must
have enough income from farm
ing to meet his farm expenses,
including real estate taxes and
the upkeep on machinery and
building. except the residence.
Living expenses and payments
on his loan may come from other
sources. The farm must be To-
Gated in an area where the in
come from dependable outside
sources for a typical operator
would be sufficient to pay the
other expenses. This provision
is to make sure that the loan
can be paid of even If the pres
ent owner passes out Of the pic
tire

Nov, during the actual war
there was sort of a gentlemen S

.AFL andCI0
Tackle Joint
Constitution
By the Associated Press

Top AFL and CIO leaders to-
day tackle the biggest problem
still n the way of merging their
union organizations-a constitu-
ton for the proposed federation.
A joint Unity Committee of
AFL and CIO chiefs planned to
act on a draft carefully worked
out beforehand. 1t was not made
public.
Approval of the constitution by
separate AFL and CIO conven-
tions and then by a joint ALL
CIO convention would be re-
quired later.
May Shift Conventions
It was learned that the AFL
and CIO may move !, their
separate conventions SO as to
meet simultaneously in the same
city. The AFL has been sched-
uled to convene in September in
Chicago. The CIO had set its
meeting for id-October in Buf-
falo, N. Y.
Under a plan advanced today
by AFL President George Meany
and CIO President Walter Reu-
ther, the two principal archi-
tects of the labor merger, the
AFL and CIO would hold sepa :
rate but simultaneous conven-
tions in New York in December
and then go right into the joint
convention.
One of the reasons for holding
both conventions in one place
was said to be that it would give
many AFL and C1O union lead
ers-some of them bitter for
two decades-a chance to get
together and start the new Is
million member federation off
in a spirit Of friendship.
Map Health Welfare Ethics
Beginning tomorrow, the AFL
Executive Council will meet all
week to consider, among other
things. a code of ethics pro-
posed by Mr.. Meany to safeguard
union health-welfare funds.
Another matter expected to
get AFL council attention in
wolves the AFL Meat Cutters.
The council told this union last
winter that it would face expul-
sion from the AFL if it took in
the Fur-Leather Workers Union,
a group ousted from the CIO five
years ago for alleged Communist
domination. The Meat Cutters
absorbed the Fur-Leather group
anyway. and now the AFL coun-
Gil is due to make the next move.
Dave Beck, president of the
teamsters, the largest union in
the AFL with more than one
million members, also has served
notice that he will ask the coun-
Gil for jurisdiction over the long
shoremen's industry. Mr.. Beck
would like to take over the long
shoremen'S union ousted from
the AFL in 1858 but Mr.. Meany
has indicated strong opposition.
