OF LOAN Amendment to the Federal Farm Loan Act, recently passed by congress and approved by President Truman, increase the scope of lending through Nation al Farm Loan Association and provide machinery for expedit ing procedure in connection with Federal Land Bank loans, C. R. Sterling, secretary-treasurer of the Southern Oregon National Farm Loan Association here an nounced today. Operating through National Farm Loan . Associations, the bank may now make loans up to 65 of the normal value of a farm including improvements, Stirling said. Prior to July J, 1945 bank loans were limited to 50 per cent of the normal value of the land plus 20 per cent of the permanent improvements. By the same legislation, con gress extended the time for mak ing Land Bank commissioner loans to July 1, 1946, and pro vided that the Land Bank may purchase commissioner notei and mortgages whenever the amount owing on them, together with any prior mortgage to the Land Bank, does not exceed 65 per cent of the normal value of the farm, including improve ments. When the bank makes such a purchase, Mr. Stirling said, the borrower's rate of in terest is reduced by one per cent to the rate at which the bank makes first mortgage loans. Mr. Stirling explained that borrowers can pay part or all of their loan at any time with out penalty, and under the new legislation the principal portion of the installments on a Land Bank loan may be deferred to enable a borrower to pay any S-T-R-E-T-C-HI S-T-R-E-T-C-H your supply of this home-grown sugar as far as possible.
