SUMMER MONTHS
Summer months is the time for the farmer to finance
his land holdings. THIS summer every farmer who owes
money on his farm ought to arrange for a long time loan.
There never was a better time than right now to secure
money readily and on favorable terms. What the condi¬
tions may be next fall, no one can tell. I have instruc¬
tions to place $100,000 during the next 90 days in farm
loans. Large loans ranging from $5,000 to $20,000 are
wanted, but smaller loans will be quickly handled.
