The land banks through this c can organise their own bond selling a system entirely independent of mon- ii eyed plutocrats, Who combat every n movement to cheapen money for d farmers. c If these interests can break up the land bank and force about 100,000 a farmers who now have applications on i file to resort to the usual channels, it a would greatly increase the interest f % rates and that is what they want. i you rememwr wnti 1 went up against with the state warehouse sysI TSfi 1 Prices D< i Ford Touring Car_ .
