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.
