ML FARM LOAN
fISSOGIfITIOI
Mr. George C. Alexander, Sect
treas. of the Henry County Na
tional Farm Loan Association act
vises us that he has received#
new allotment from the Federal;
Land Bank and cm now accept
app'ications for loans any tin e
from now until August the lOti
up to the amount of $50,000.
This association was organized
in 1921 and has loaned to farmer#
in Henry County since November
Ist. of that year to June 30ti.
1923 an aggregate of $157.01.
Loans being m ide to 77 farmers
The rat'' of interest is only 5L'
per cent with 34 vears to pay tfee
debt and the privilege of redeen -
ing it at the end of five years or
any subsequent year or payißj
any amount on the principal. The
cheap rate of interest charged ant
long term together with the other
features ol the ‘iuan makes it the
best way to obtain money during
these strenerous times.
In Mr. Alexanders letter fron
the bank regarding this allotment
the following appeal is made
“This Bank serves 508 associationE
scattered over four states and te>
do so at the low c st we do, the
farmers should co-operate to the
extent of making his application
before he needs the money so we
can go through with the necessary
work on a regular schedule baste
for if he waits until he needs hi*
money then he has to pay fo-r
instant service which costs e
great deal more and it would
seem that he would look a little
ahead and thus through this sys
tem save costs he is not able tc
bear.

cream and other refreshment*
