RIGHTS OF BORROWERS EXPLAINED
UNDER FEDERAL FARM LOAN LAW
Ily Frank H. Wilson,
Of the Fodoral Farm Loan Uurcau.
WASHINGTON. D. C. Jun. 16.
Tho right to borrow under the Farm
Loan act is limited to farmers and
prospective farmers.
Farmors or prospective farmors
who wish to borrow, group them
bcIvcb Into Farm Loan associations,
onch association being composed of
10 or moro farmors, und each as
sociation starting with a minimum of
nt lount $20,000 of loans.
To Join, a farmer moroly makes
application to tho socretury-trcasur-or
of the loan association in his
community. If -nono Iihb boon or
ganized ho should got together tho
required number of borrowers and
organize nn association.
Tho Federal Farm Loan Hoard ut
Washington will furnish, on appli
cation, a blank form ot articles tit
association for siicli organizations.
Then tho organizers moot und adopt
thuso articles and sign litem, und
thu secroliiiy-irensuroi' makes affi
davit thereto.
Thla association then electa flvo
or nioro directors and tho directors
thon oloct a president, vice prosidont,
socrotnry-tronBiirer and a loun com
mittoa of throe mombors.
As soon as tho Federal Land Hunk
of that district is rendy for business
It will provldo tills local association
with additional blanks Including an
npplcntlon for a chartor and blanks
for tho loan coniinlttoo to uao In the
work ot appraising tho fnrmB.
As soon ns tho loan committee is
elected It may proceed to apprnlso
the fnrnifl upon which mortgages are
to bo placed. Its report, which must
be unanimous, must accompany tho
stgnod articles of association and bo
filed with tho Fodoral Land Dank

1 shown by figures Just compiled for
the year ending December 31, 1916,
u compared with the report of the
fiscal year which ended June 30,
1916. The comparison Is made on the
basis of carload lot of freight re
ceived and forwarded, the total for
the fiscal year amounting to 2,229
cars, while 3.756 was the. aggregate
for the calendar year.
Figures us to the value of freight
handled for the fiscal year were not
available, but for the calendar year
the values on full carloads, was fixed
at $83S,035.u5.
That Ilend has an unusually fa
vorable balance of trade is shown by
the figures for outgoing and incom
ing freight. Twelve hundred and
eight carloads were received here
during tho last 12 months, while
2,548, carloads were forwarded from
here. In addition to full carload
shipments, 15.028,336 freight ac,
count of less than carload lots were
handled, a revenue from this source
amounting -to lll:,359.e?.-

Passenger business wsb also high
ly prosperous. No accounting, of
course, could be made of the Incom
ing passengers, but It is estimated
that they must have surpassed the
outgoing business, taking the rapid
growth of the city as a basis. The
total amount received on ticket sales
here during the year was $91,561.68,
making the total business for the
Btaliou $1,055,966.50.
In addition to this, cash collected
on Western Union business amount
ed to $6,360, making a grand total
of all earnings of $1,062,317.
cept or reject the report of the loan
committee. .,
No one farmer may borrow more
than $10.00Q . nor less than $100.
No National Farm Loan association
may start with aggregate loans loss
than $20,000.
If John Smith, a "farmer, desires
to borrow $2000 ho invests in the
stock of bis loan association one
twentieth of this amount, of $100.
If Is association then invests this
money in tho stock of the Federal
Land Bank, enabling it thus to In
crease Its cnpltal so as to make an
other loan of $2000 to some other
farmer. The borrower gets his in
vestment back when ho pays off his
loan, or he may turn it in as the last
payment on his loan.
Farmers are required to form these
organizations so that they eventually
will control tho Federal Land Banks.
Kach loan association votes in the
eloctlon of tho directors of its Fed
eral Land Hunk Each association
has a loan committee which values
the land of its members subject to
the approval of the land bank ap
praiser and tho Fodoral Land Bank.
Each association has a board of di
rectors which has tho power to ex
cludo or admit now 'mombors by a
two-thirds voto. It Is through this
local loun association that the far
mer Invests the money to bo used for
increasing tho capital stock of the
Federal Land Hanks, and this is how
tho farmer comes into possession of
his own banking system.
Farmors uro permitted to borrow
up to 30 por cont of the appraised
value of their land and 20 per cont
of tho appraised valuo of tho perma
nent Insurod Improvements thoreon.
It Is not nocoBsnry for a borrower
to be nn actual land owner when ho

that as soon as one can be put in

HARDSHIPS ENDURED.
Utterly exhausted after their

Forest Guard J. Russell Chrlstensou,
the finding of whoso body was report
ed yesterday, V. V. Harpham and
Ed. Matin, ot the Deschutes forestry
service, returned to Bend at 7:30
o'clock last night. From tho time
the two left Bend Friday afternoon
until they left the Inquest at mid
inght Sunday, the two had gone en
tirely without sloop, and Mr. liar-,
phara reported that one member of
the original Bearch party which snt
out more than a week ago, was III
as a result of the hnrdshlps under
gone. Mr. Hnrphnm told of the finding
of ChriBteiiBon's body, and how the
forest guard's own skiis were used In
making n sled on which (o transport
him to Crescont. From the position
In which the body luy, it was thought
that CbriBtensou had attempted to
rise from the ground, and had been
too exhausted to succeed.
Every man In tho party, Mr. Har
pham stated, put himself to the limit.
He gave grent credit to the membor
of the party who originally Btarted
