MORAN elem ork t ie 2 a Yr STANGLER ASSAILS LOAN COMMITMENT CANCELING BY FCA Manager of Bank of North Da- kota Declares Procedure Is Hardship on Farmers “Wholesale cancellation” of com- mitments made in farm loans by the federal land bank and commissioner were criticized by R. M. Stangler, manager of the Bank of North Da- kota, in a statement to the state in- | dustrial commission, who maintained | the procedure is working hardship on farmers of the state. Gov. Ole H. Olson, in telegrams to federal officials, has protested against cancellation of the commitments, and asked for an extension of them for 90 days. The extension plea was refused by W. I. Myers, governor of the FCA, although Myers said “no | worthy applicant showing just cause | for delay will be penalized.” “In some instances,” Stangler said, “potices of allowance are being can- celled where the commitments have only been out for two or three months. ‘We believe that this wholesale can- cellation of commitments should be discontinued by the federal land bank and land bank commissioner, for at least a period of 90 days, so that the farmers and creditors can get tweether with a view of refinancing and repurchasing these homes.” Cites Seven Reasons Seven reasons were cited by Stang- ler in support of his contentions. Stangler said it was his understand- ing that a new ruling had gone into effect during the past month, whereby eny loan cancelled could not be re- instated, but that it was necessary for a new application, new fee, new appraisal and a new commit- ment. Hundreds of farmers, Stangler said, Ihave set aside small amounts each week out of egg, cream and other pro- duce checks, to raise the original ap- Plication fee, and that it would be “real hardship” for them to raise ® second fee. While a “real effort” is being made soon after commitments are made, 75 per cent of the creditors are holding up loans by insisting on full payment | “or more than they are entitled to,” he said. Many of the commitments come through, he explained, with the pro- viso to “pay all indebtedness.” This is difficult, he explained, because tany creditors live oulside the state. In & number of instances, Stangler pointed out, the loan is ready to close when a new commitment has come through, reducing the amount available by several hundred dollars, necessitating the work being done over. Few Farmers Have Contracts ‘Very few of the farmers can afford to spend the time or money to con- tact their creditors. “All of this work must be done by the larger creditors,” Stangler explained, “and very often a commitment is held up for months by the second mortgagees refusing to accept a reasonable amount for complete satisfaction of their ” mortgages.’ “Very often,” Stangler continued, ‘when we feel a commitment should be increased or changed so the loan =n be closed and review is requested, We receive a new commitment reduc- ing the amount available or a flat re- dection.” He pointed out the Bank of North Dakota has ted “100 per cent” with the farm credit administration in the refinancing program and “our liberal attitude toward scaling down indebtedness to bring it within the farmers’ ability to pay has had a very marked influence on other mortgage loan companies and other creditors in their scale down policy. “Not one regulation, to our know- ledge, issued by the farm credit ad- ministration has been violated by the Bank of North aDkota. We feel cer- tain that if a survey of all secretary- treasurers of the National Farm Loan associations in North Dakota is made it will be found we have cooperated in every way possible to close these loans without delay.” Ducks and Geese Passing Up State Ducks and geese are giving North Dakota a cool shoulder this year, swinging directly south in their an- nual migration, as a result of the drouth, Thoralf Swenson, state game and fish commissioner, said Friday. While thousands of wild-fowl are crowding into lakes which have not ried, Swenson said he believed the lumber of ducks and geese halting in state this season would be less than last year. Reports have come to the game and department of birds flying high the state, failing to halt, as they water. Take Part Cc. C.

WHITMAN (Written Especially for NEA Service and The Bismarck Tribune) When a wood shingle roof gives out, it is usually either because the are of a quality that warps and curls, or the nails go rusty. Leaks from curled shingles can be closed by splitting the shingles to fatten them and nailing the loose Parts with copper or other rustproof nails driven through the exposed ends. Leakage through splits can be closed by slipping pieces of tar paper un- derneath and dabbing them with roofing cement. Missing shingles can be replaced and nailed in the same way. A roof that is too far e for these repairs should be Teplaced, which is not as expensive and measy @ Job as it used to be. AVES LABOR, fyome DIRT in the past, Job began with tearing off the old roof. Now it is considered much better to put the new roof on top of the old one. In preparation for the new roof, old shingles that are curled are flat- tened by splitting; the loose parts are nailed and missing shingles replaced. The old shingles along all edges of the roof are cut back for two inches, and the spaces so made are filled with strips of wood the thickness of the oe tne le new roofing is to be stiff, like wood shingles, asbestos-cement shingles, or slate, it is laid just as for a new roof, but with nails long =< DRIVING A TERRAPLANE?
