Federal Land Bank
Interest Reduced
The interest rate on all Federal
Land Bank loans made through
National farm loan associations
will be reduced to 3 12 per cent
for all interest payable in the one
year period commencing July 1
1935 and to 4 per cent for all
interest payable in the twoyear
peiiod commencing July 1 1930 according
to G C Hutchison secre
tarytreasurer of the Tulia National
Farm Loan Association This announcement
was made June 10th
when Mr G C Hutchison was
in tilled of the new loan rate by
A C Williams president of the
Fedeial Land Bank of Houston and
General Agent of the Farm Credit
Administration of Houston
This temporary reduction of
interest on Federal Land Bank
loans having installments due proir
to July 1 193S is the result of
now legislation the Farm Credit
Act of 1935 which was signed by
President Roosevelt June 3 Interest
payable on installment dates
occurring after July 30 193S will
be at the original contract rate
which is i < per cent on loans
now being made through National
farm loan associations and varies
from 5 to G per cent on loans
made prior to April 1 1935
The Farm Credit Act of 1935
also provides for another important
novation Under its terms
the Land Bank Commissioner now
may make loans to finance the
purchase of farms by deserving
tenant farmers Formerly Commissioner
1 otitis could be made only
for the purpose of refinancing
debts for repurchasing farms lost
ihruigh foreclosure and for working
capital The Act extends to
January 1 1910 the time in which
the Lund Bank Commissioner may
maje direct Joans to farmers on
firH and second mortgages The
Commissioner loan plus any prior
encumbrances on rhe property may
not exceed 75 per cent of the apprised
normal value Commenting
on the new provisions Mr G C
Hutchison said The new provi
ion i uaDIing the Laud Bank Com
missioner to make loans for the
purpose of purchasing farms provides
a new opportunity for young
farmers und dostrviug tenants to
become farm owners and homeowners
in their own right We
shall be glad to talk things over
with worthy tenants who wish to
buy farms of their own
Since May 12 1933 when the
Farm Credit Administration was
setnblished tho Federal Land Bank
of Houston acting for itself and
as agent for the Land Bank Commissioner
has made 273S loans
aggregating 12919235000 This is
almost as largo as the amount of
business carried on the books of
tho bank on May 1 1933 after 17
years of operation The inteiest
rate reduction provided by the Act
will affect only Federal land bank
loans all of which are first mortgage
loans The interest rate on
Land Hank Commissioner loans
which are made on either first or
second mortgages on farm property
will remain unchanged at 5
per cent
