THURSDAY. jUiE 1, 1933 # WHERE AND HOW LOANS ARE MADE UNDER THE NEW FEDERAL EMERGENCY FARM MORTGAGE ACT I duction th? amount of silvei 'mined in j the world was a fraction more than fifteen thousand million ounces; yvr (Written Especially for The Chronicle TTirough Autocaster News Service). . In the first two days after the pass- ape of the Federal Emergency Farm Mortpape act, applications for relief were received from l,2fi9 farmers. Most of these applications were sent to Washinpton, rndicatinp that few farmers know where the Federal Land banks for their districts are located. There are twelve of these hanks, and in connection with each of them a loan commissioner to operate under the new law has heen appointed, k. These new Idans are made to ?*efi-! nance farm indehtedrtess, provide workinp capital for-farm ()i»'.*rat ions ^ and to aid in the^'redemption of fio ' - closed farms. They are not, prim.irily, made for the purpose of refinanuiny^- farm first mortpapes. That is Uk le-' (lone thiou^h the Fedtoal Lund baTi^ W'orkinp in connection with the ju'es ent holders of first mortpapes. Ix»ans un(ler the n^w law arelinr" " ed to Sn.tXK) to any one farmei-.
