Farm Loan Meeting Heid
The special meeting of national
farm loan association members with
officials of the Land bank at Spo
kane held in Coquille last week, laid
the ground work for a better under
standing of both association and Land
bank problems, Secretary-Treasurer
E. J. Tilley reports, and paved the
way for increased interest and activ
ity on the part of local farmer-stock
holders.
P. H. Mattew, vice president, and
J. J. Davey, of the Land bank, ex
plained how the bank is endeavoring
to decentralize its operations and re
build the system around the local as
sociations, revitalizing the principle
of farmer ownership and control. The
meeting was largely devoted to ques
tions and answers and round table
discussion with the alm of giving
members full information on current
affairs and inviting their full partici
pation as member-stockholders
Mr. Rees, of Spokane, also explain
ed how the newly established produc
tion credit associations are helping
farmers to save money by financing
their seasonal crop and live stock
loans co-operatively, similar to the
way long-term mortgage loans are fi
nanced through national farm loan
associations. The PCA serving farm
ers in this territory is located at Med
ford, Oregon.
,
A. W. Cope, of Langlois, presided at
the meeting, which was attended by
approximately 45 local NFLA mem
bers. F. C. Bowman, of Gold Beach;
A. W. Cope; R. D. Kring, of Myrtle
Point; A. C. Rogers, Marshfield, and
J. P. Johnson, Coquille, are directors
of the consolidated Coos-Curry NFLA
at Coquille, which has 282 members
and *1,047,100.00 in outstanding
mortgage loans which have been
made through the Land bank of Spo
kane and against which the bank has
sold bonds to the investing public.
Each member owns voting capital
stock equal to live per cent of the
amount of his loan.
The stock is
pledged as additional security for all
loans closed through the association,
providing a mutual guarantee of pay
ment. At present the association is
making new 20 to 84 year first mort
gage loans, beaing the record low
rate of four per cent interest.
