  obtain loans  from  the  federal  intermediate  credit  bank  under  and
  pursuant  to  an act of congress approved March fourth, nineteen hundred
  and twenty-three, known as the  agricultural  credits  act  of  nineteen
  hundred  and  twenty-three,  same being chapter eight of title twelve of
  the code of laws of the  United  States  as  adopted  by  congress  June

  credit corporation may also be organized by  a  cooperative  corporation
  for the purpose of financing the ordinary crop operations of the members
  of  such  cooperative  corporation, through funds obtained by loans from
  any sources or through the issue and sale of common or preferred  stock,
  bonds,  debentures  or  other obligations of the credit corporation, and
  the payment of such loans  or  obligations  may  be  guaranteed  by  the

  be otherwise made.  No loans shall be made for more than ten years;  nor
  for other than the agricultural, dairy, or horticultural purposes of the
  borrower.  In  all  cases,  there  shall  be  a written statement by the
  borrower in the note, collateral agreement or signed application to  the
  effect  that  the  loan  will  be  used only for such purposes; and such
  statement may be relied upon  by  the  credit  corporation.  The  credit
  corporation may discount or pledge such note with a federal intermediate
  credit  bank,  or other banks or banking institutions, with its guaranty
  or endorsement, if required.
A credit  corporation  may  invest  its  capital  funds  in  bonds  or
  obligations  of  the  United  States or of any state or municipality, or
  such other bonds as are authorized for investment by a savings  bank  or
  in  federal  intermediate  credit  bank  obligations, and may deposit or
