WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 22, 1928 FARMERS MAY ARRANGE LONG PERIOD LOANS: Ample Funds for North Da- kota Farmers Held by Fed- eral Land Bank Ample funds for lending to North Dakota farmers for long periods on their first farm mortgages were suréd members of National Farm Loan Associations yesterday F. H. Klawon, President of the Federal Land Bank of Saint Paul, at a meet- ing here of the rep tatives of a number of these local associations. The meeting held here was the fifth meeting to be held in the state. Others were held at Devils Lake, Dickinson, Valley City and Minot. ted are called principally to dis- cuss farm credit and long term loans on first farm mortgages. Rep- resentatives from eight or ten coun- ties are attending today’s meeting. There are 4,655 national farm in the BL tion in this district makes sireaeh the Federal Land Bank of it. on told them that the im- pression that the bank does not wish to make such loans is wrong and that its policy is to serve the farm- ers of-North Dakota. He assured them that loans must be made upon conservative basis and that the earning power of the lands for agri cultural purposes must be pal consideration in farms for long term loans. “At present the bank has about $4,000,000 which is available for first mortgage loans at 5 pet cent interest, he assured the secretaries. Many farmers borrowing else- where will find it necessary to pay a rate 2 to 3 per cent higher. State Well Represented “North Dakota is well represented in the business done by this bank, there being 9,667 borrowers who have loans aggregating $39,430,200, out of a total 35,417 borrowers of $136,482,500 in the district covering, in addition, W,sconsin, Minnesota and Michigan.” Mr. Klawon explained that inter- est on the huge sum amounts to ap- proximately $6,200,000. “Payments in installments by borrowers is th best barometer we have of condi tions in this district. While the im. provement is smal! compared with @ year ago, there is no question but what there is a turn for the better. We hope it will be possible to reduce delinquencies in a few months to where they are nominal. “During July we sold 26 farms, twice as many as during that month @ year ago. Practically all the sales are to neighbors. At present prices, there is no better investment avail able. Farm lands can be mi pay a reasonable income by the farmer who has a sufficient amount of capital and equipment. In « great many instances farms are being of- fered for sale at prices and on terms that are more favorable thar land could have been obtained 20 or years ago under the homestead law.” Farm Loan Best F.G, Wan.k, Secretary of the Federal Land Banx, stated, “The Federal farm loan is the farmer can sider it a privilege to be allowed one. The interest rate can never be in- creased and through the payment of dividends on his stock, can be ma- terially reduced. There is no other loan just like it and none that can compare with it. “There has been some criticism of the Federal Land Bank system which has demonstrated that it plays an important part in the financial development of the coun- try. These criticisins made by those who have not possessior. of all facts, for it is just us true that the Federal Land Bank system bears the same relation io the development of agriculture - the Federal Reserve Banks do to the financial structwe of the country. “If the Federal Land Banks would not make another loan they would jneety their existence because as long as they have the power to make long time loans at a very low rate of interest they wil stabilizer of the interet agriculture must pay. The Federal Land Bank of Saint Paul has not curtailed its op ns in any way whatever and is_ina_ position to take care bf all first class loans of- fered it, but it does demand that they be first class loans.” _ Short talks were also made by two directors of the bank, Samuel Tor- rson, Grand Forks, and John C. imith, Mandan, and . Gwyther, Fort. Rice, secretary-treasurer of the heal National Farm Loan associa- ion. F. A.
