Weller (Associated Press Farm Editor) WASHINGTON (AP) President Hoover's suggestions to congressional leaders for support of the nation's financial structure touch sympathet ically on two pet Issues of organised agriculture. Ever since the deflation in farm values began In 1930-31 the farmer baa complained that the limited ability of banks, Insurance compan ies and other financial Institutions to rediscount farm mortgage paper through the federal reserve system haa made It extremely difficult to get adequate loans. If Hoover's proposal that "eligibil ity provisions of the federal reserve act be broadened" contemplates the addition of farm mortgages to the classification of property eligible for rediscount, agriculture may hope for a more liberal policy by national and state bank authorities In the matter of property loans. Difficult to Get Loans It Is currently charged In farm circles that from the time the fed eral reserve board Increased the re discount rate on farm paper without changing the rate on other securities. the common reply of bank officials to farm applicants has been: ."We have received Instructions not to lend anyone money, no matter how much farm land he may own or I whether It la clear of debt, unless he can show liquid assets (usually com mercial securities) which readily can be converted Into cash," or "the directors don't like chattel mortgages and the banking department won't let the bank take them." Should the president's plan be In terpreted to liberalize acceptance of farm land and buildings as mortgage security. It Is believed there may be fewer foreclosures and less land forced on. an unwilling market. It also Is thought that banks, will not have to cut property appraisals so low to gain approval of the examin ers that the size of farm loans are almost nil and that Interest rates to the farmer may decline. Easier Credit Seen In President Hoover's second rem edyfederal Investment In federal land bank stock agriculture sees the twofold possibility of easier credit m the future and perhaps the oppor tunity to borrow from the govern ment in liquidating Indebtedness to private institutions. when the federal farm loan act was passed In 1918 with the Idea of giving the farmer long time credit at Interest not to exceed 8 per cent, congress supplied the 13 federal land banks with a capital of about 9,- 000.000. Through some 4800 farm loan aaso- clatlons farmers have retired about 99 3-a per cent of that stock and Invested approximately 80,000,000 themselves. Limited to a 1 per cent profit on the money of Investors when loaned through affiliated organizations to the farmer, the banks have suffered severely In the general depression.
