t THE MOUSING OREGONIAX, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1921 17 FARMERS TO TOTAL SUIl Agricultural Relief Act Fully Understood. Not BENEFITS ARE AVAILABLE Money Advanced ' to Banks, "Trust Companies, Co-operative Bodles AVhlch lioan to Producers. Misunderstanding concerning the nature and methods to be used in ob taining loans under the agricultural relief act for farmers and cattlemen through the war finance corporation which Victor A. Johnson, secretary of the local agency of the company, eald recently existed In the northwest ap pears to be widespread. Despite this misunderstanding advances of $1,600, 000 already have been made to this district and many applications for fur ther relief are now being considered. It Is believed, however, by those act ing for the war finance corporation that far greater relief could be granted through additional applica tions if the full meaning of the act were generally understood by stock men and farmers. A moan t Not Restricted. The fundamental purpose offjthe re lief measure Is to provide for financ ing the farmer and livestock man, but in practical operation loans are not made direct to individual producers. Bank., trust companies and co-operative associations advance money to the producers and In turn borrow from the war finance corporation. No restriction as to the amount of money to be advanced to any particu lar district Is being made by the cor poration. Advances are being made on the merits of the applications no matter from what part of the United States they may come. The corpora tion has the powor to make advances lot exceeding In the aggregate $1,000, 000,000 up to July 1, 1922. Loan Bodies Encouraged. TJIfferent regulations govern loans for agricultural purposes and those for financing exports of farm prod uct. ProvlHlons dealing with ad vances for agricultural purposes au thorize loans to any bank, banker or trust company that has itself made advances to producers for agricultural purposes as defined by the war finance corporation or has discounted or rediscounted negotiable paper Issued for those purposes. The above provision has been held as Including loan associations that make advances for the permitted purposes. Encour agement is being given to the forma tion of loan associations In districts In which banking facilities are Inad equate to meet the requirements of farmers and livestock men. The re lief measure also Includes any co operative association of producers that has itself mado advances to producers for agricultural purposes or has discounted! or rediscounted ne gotiable paper Issued for those pur poses. Through the agency of the corporation In Portland which has an office In the Spald'ing building Information "can be obtained as to how to carry out these provisions and also how to make out applications. . Advances Muse lie Secured. Under the regulations the amount borrowed may not exceed the unpaid balance of loans made and agricul tural paper held by the borrowing Institution. The borrower must give a promissory note or other Instrument imposing on 'him an unconditional and primary obligation to repay the loan at maturity. Also advances shall be fully and adequately secured in years and bear C per cent interest. They were offered at 97'4. F. A. Freeman, president of the company. Is now in Chicago, and n reports that dealers In the east an middle west are facing' a most unusual situation as the result of th advancing bond market. He says that they are in a scramble to sret securi ties of the better class with which to fill their orders. The run-awa market practically cleaned th shelves of most of the dealers, an now they are searching for mu niclpals to satisfy the big demand. ' "The decrease in Interest rates, Mr. Freeman says, "has resulted in increases In the price of bonds, now all securities are moving steadily forward In price. The run-away bond market caught the dealers with very few bonds on hand, and now the are attempting to catch up with the market."

Magna vox Wanted so That Larger Crowd Will Be Able to Take Advantage of Music. OREGON' AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE, Corvallis, Nov. 20. (Special.) Musical concerts In San Francisco, with all the clearness and tone en Joyed from a box seat, can now be heard by Oregon Agricultural college students. The college radio has solved tne mystery. The local wire less set Is used dally to receive mes sages and students derive much pleas ure from studying with the equip men. The wireless room in the physics department has six telephones con nected to the receiving apparatus, and Monday and Thursday nights the telephones are always busy. From 8 to 8:30 o'clock on these nights, the Fairmont hotel at San Francisco gives a musical programme an the Colin B. Kennedy Radio- Apparatus company sends out this programme. The musio is played by phono graph at the station and transmitted by wireless telephone on a wave length of 360 meters The programme and conversation can be heard very distinctly here, and it Is hoped that magnavox may be added to the equipment so that messages can be heard by an entire roomful of stu dents at the same time. Market reports, weather forecasts, and press news items are sent from the Fairmont hotel from 7:30 to 7:45 P. M. Mondays and Thursday and the WeBtern Journal of Electricity sends a news letter at 7:45 P. M. Messages on the commercial wire less telephone between Los Angeles and Avalon, on the Catalina islands, can. be heard almost any night and louder than by wire telephone. each Instance by Indorsement, pledge. guaranty or otherwise. The rate of Interest Is fixed by the war finance corporation and the borrowing Insti tution may not reloan on a basis of more than 2 per cerit in excess of the rate charged by the corporation. This 2 per cent was determined upon 89 a rate that fairly repaid the bank for the cost of handling the advance to the farmer or livestock man, the risk taken and other matters that might arise. Three Yrnrs Is Limit. The relief measure was to care for an abnormal condition' so that the borrowers from the corporation must repay their loans at the em) of three years at the latest. Loans for agri cultural purposes remaining unliqui dated at that time will have to be carried by the lending banks, trust companies, loan associations or co operative associations. Special provisions deal with ad vances for financing exports of staple agricultural products which may be made whenever the corporation is of the opinion that conditions arising out of the war or out of the disrup tion of foreign trade created by the war, have resulted In or may result in an abnormal surplus accumulation of any staple agricultural products of the United States or lack of market for the sale of same, or that the ordi nary banking facilities are Inadequate to enable producers to carry them until they can be exported or sold for export in an orderly manner. Directors Fix Interest Rate. Under these provisions advances may be made to any person in the United States dealing In or market--) lng any staple agricultural product or any association of persons engaged in producing those products. Loans made under this provision may bear interest at a rate not more than IM per cent greater than the current rate of discount for 90-day commercial paper at the federal reserve bank in the district in which the borrower is situated . Advances may be made to any per son outside the United States pur chasing staple agricultural products but in no case shall any of the money so advanced be expended without the United States. Adequate security must be required and the directors of the war finance corporation may de termine the rate of interest. Ad vances may also be made to any bank, banker or trust company In the United States that has loaned money to finance exports or make It possi ble to carry agricultural products until they may be exported: to deal ers, to co-operative associations of producers or producers themselves. All applications for loans based on expert financing must be made direct to the war finance corporation In Washington. One of the best Indications of the run-away condition of the bond mar ket, according to Freeman Smith & Camp Co., Investment bankers of Tortland, San Francisco and Los An geles, is the unprecedented success of the $50,000,000 bond Issue of the New York Telephone company. Announcement of the Issue resulted In 68.000 subscriptions aggregating $488,000,000, or oversubscriptions ap proximately ten times the amount of the original offering. The issue was handled by an eastern syndicate of bankers, and as a result of the great demand for the bonds, few were re ceived locally. The bonds run for 20 LATERALS TO BE BUILT Grants Pass Irrigation District to Extend Water Service. GRANTS PASS, Or., Nov. 20. (Spe cial.)
