Federal Faim Loans
The Federal land banks, it is expect­
ed, will stand ready at all times to lend
money to farmers on farm mortgage
security. The interest charges will be
not more than 6 percent. There will
be no excessive commissions or bonus
es. Loans will be made for periods
ranging from 5 to 40 years. Annual or
semi-annual installment payments on
the principal will be required, and fur­
ther optional payments on the princi­
pal will be permitted after a loan has
run 5 years.
The local loan associations will im-
prove the credit of their members and
reduce the cost of loans through the
performance of definite services.
The bonds issued wiP be secured not
only by farm mortgages deposited with
the land bank registrar but also by the
capital and surplus of the 12 Federal
¡and banks. Both mortgages and bonds
will be exempt from all forms of taxa­
tion.
