No payinent on | GIVE ANNUAL ~ DANGE FRIDAY | years, Adding to the prestige of the fed- eral land banks, the new farm credit administration governed by Henry Morgenthau, jr., operates en- tirely through the board of direc- tors for the land and federal fn- termediate credit banks: Asscciations Farmers' Contacts A farmer may go direct to his federal land bank for a mew loan or to refinance an old mortgage, but it is required that, where they 'exist, he apply to the mnational farm loan association which ap- praises his property and lends him money it has borrowed from the land bank on his mortgage. These ‘associations are expected to be the farmers' chief point of contact with the farm credit administration in refinancing and scaling down first mortgage debt. Side by side with the land banks and one to each federal land bamk «district are the federal intermediate credit banks which make commod- ity loans to cooperative farm mar- keting associations and crop pro- duction loans to farmers applying through local farm credit corpor- ations and livestock loan compan- ies. These latter agencies make .60 to 90 day loamns on chattel mort- gages which they post with their own notes in borrowing funds from the intermediate credit banks. Crop production loans may also be financed from funds lent- by the Reconstruction Finance cor- poration, which set up regional ag- ricultural credit corporations to make such production ldans - to farmers in aréas unablé to produce the capital for locally-owned credit corporations. ———-——— FORMER JUNEAU GIRL IS HERE VISITING PARENTS in Scottish Rite Temple —Semi-Formal The De Molays will give their annual dance next Friday night in the ballroom of the Scottish Rite Temple and the members of the young organization plan that the event will be a long remembered one.
